Chapter 154: Hey, You Woke Up
Cathryn slept incredibly well tonight. When she woke up, she found the side of the bed was already empty. A strange environment can always make people nervous, and she came down from the bed, stood on the soft carpet, walked suspiciously to the window, and pulled the curtains open.
Outside was the morning sun, shining cleanly without dazzling through the sky. The whole room was lit.
"Keith?"
Looking back at the room, the emptiness made Cathryn feel a little strange. There was no answer, and when she was just about to go out, the room phone rang.
After a few rings, Cathryn took the call.
"Hey, you woke up?" Keith's voice passed from the end of the phone with a little panting.
"Where are you?" Hearing his voice made her calm. She sat on the carpet and started looking around the room as she asked.
"My uncle had something urgent to do today, so I am going hunting with one of his customers. The phone connection will probably be bad at the hunting ground, so don't worry if you can't contact me. It won't be long, I will go back at noon. They are having a welcome dinner for you tonight, my mom will see you later today to get the dresses and jewels ready. You can go shopping first, I will see you later when I'm back."
Speaking of this, Keith was apologetic, and a bit worried.
So he proposed the second option.
"If you don't want to go out, you can play with Briston in the room. Anne will bring you breakfast and lunch there."
That's just too much care.
Cathryn felt touched and amused at the same time, and she was a lot more relieved. She certainly wouldn't hide in the room for a whole day when she had just met his family. She'd love to know more about them and to have them know about her, so she would be more than happy to go shopping alone with Helen today. It was a great opportunity for their relationship to have some tete-a-tete. How would she let this go?
Cathryn was excited and full of confidence suddenly, "Don't worry, I'll go shopping with Helen."
He was relieved to hear this and continued to tell them that there was a new phone ready for her with a German SIM card inside, and there was Helen's number and everything... Finally, they realized this was never going to an end and finally cut off the phone.
Standing up from the carpet full of energy, Cathryn first went to check at Briston.
It was a suite with a living room outside two bedrooms, one big and one small. Looking at it alone, it was more than twice as large as her parents' apartment.
Briston was sleeping in the next bedroom, and the nanny was watching him. The little guy just had his milk and was sleeping with a sweet face.
Seeing Cathryn on the moon, she smiled and said to Cathryn, "Congratulations, Miss Riley, such a wonderful marriage waiting for you, and your in-laws are so nice to you!"
She asked about the second part of her words, and the nanny replied, "Madam Helen has been here in the morning, she said when you wake up, you can change your clothes and go straight down to see her."
Cathryn blushed suddenly. She hurriedly took the clothes from the nanny and returned to the bedroom.
Taking off the pajamas, Cathryn quickly changed her clothes, and her hair was simply bundled up and ready to go downstairs.
As she was changing her shoes, she supported the shoebox with one hand and felt something strange in her hand.
It was a black leather notebook lying quietly on the dark wood panel. She suddenly remembered what Keith had said yesterday.
"Sure you can. Go for it when you wake up tomorrow." She didn't think twice but picked up the notebook and turned it open.
It is a diary, Keith's diary.
The date on it was years ago. Cathryn calculated and realized it was the year when he graduated.
Cathryn finished reading the diary before she went downstairs when Helen was proficiently instructing the maids to prepare for tonight's banquet.
It's cool and humid today, with enough sunshine. The maritime climate had made it a perfect season for now to have a garden banquet.
Helen had attached great importance to this dinner and assured the grandpa that she would be fully in charge of it. Thus she had been busy all morning, with her light blond hair tied in a loose bun, just like how she did last night. She was walking steadily in a casual burgundy suit, a slim, simple cut with fine velvet, giving her a neat touch of elegance. The neckline was open with a black silk shirt inside, with a small diamond pin on the upper button. The diamonds twinkled as she moved.
"Jim, when are the food ingredients arriving? Please check them yourself and make sure they are the best for tonight." Helen asked the butler in German.
"Yes, ma'am," Jim responded with respect.
Only then did Helen look up from her busy work and see Cathryn coming downstairs.
The dress Cathryn wore was prepared by Helen. Cathryn didn't bring much luggage when she came here because Helen had asked Keith to send her photos of her daily clothing style, and she would buy clothes for her according to that. And this creamy pink cotton dress looked good and fit her.
Cathryn's pale skin was a perfect match for this light-colored dress, it looked as if her skin was transparent. It was a simple A-line dress she picked, but the back was bare to show off her thin scapulae, and a bow was tied in the middle from the shoulders. It looked sexy and playful at the same time.
Although her face, as she walked downstairs, looked distracted, and her hair was simply tied into a slaggy ponytail.
She was pondering. What was written in the diary was a lot for her to digest, she gave up after a long time in the dressing room, and still, it was full of wonders.
