Fifteen days later, it was exactly Jerome’s birthday.
She opened the wardrobe and took out a set of men’s suits inside. She had been working day and night for three months to design and modify it herself, Just to give this handmade birthday gift on that day,
She gave up the opportunity to study abroad in order to stay with him for a long time, accompanying him year after year.
It seems now that there is no need for it
At the thought of tlus, Catherine’s lips curled into a bitter smile, and she tossed the suit into the trash can.
Then she took a hot bath, buried herself in the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
She was probably caught in the rain, and her body temperature kept rising.
The two extreme sensations of cold and hot alternated, she broke out in a cold sweat all over her body, her head was heavy and dizzy, and she felt as if several mountains were pressing down on her.
Half awake from a dream, she heard her phone ring several times, but she was trapped in a nightmare and couldn’t open her eyes.
Until it was almost dawn, someone burst into the room and shook her awake.
“Ms. Terrell, wake up quickly, Mr. Lawrence asked me to take you somewhere
Catherine forced her eyelids open and saw the figure of Jerome’s’assistant.
She endured the discomfort and got up to change her clothes.
The assistant drove her to the entrance of the club and then left,
Catherine clutched her clothes tightly and, relying on memory, found the VIP box, where she heard lively voices coming from inside.
“It’s been an hour already, why hasn’t Catherine arrived yet? Even if she’s not feeling well after the car accident, you’ve called her so many times and even sent an assistant to pick her up, but she’s still dragging her feet. Isn’t she being too irresponsible?
“Spending time raising a canary for fun, pretending to be obedient on weekdays can still be called interesting, always acting like she doesn’t know what’s good for her. Jerome, don’t spoil her anymore. Letting her be arrogant and unruly because of favoritism, I’m afraid she will soon lose sight of herself!”
“Ees, after Jenny left, you drank day and night, and casually raised a canary to distract yours. Otherwise, Catherine would never have entered our circle in this lifetime. You spoiled her for four years, and now that Jenny is back, when do you plan to get rid of this burden?”
Jerome sat at the head of the table, with the light casting a layer of shadow on his distant and cold face, making his voice even more indifferent “will take care of my people, why are you in such a hurry?”
“That’s not worrying for you and Jenny, you waited for her for seven years, now she finally came back, don’t provoke her with Catherine, or you might really make her angry and leave again, you’ll regret it!”
“Yeah, over the years I couldn’t bear to delete the photos of Jenny and me. I would look at them several times a day, and every now and then I would snak a peek at how she was doing. Whenever I heard she liked something, I would try my best to find a way to get it and have someone deliver it to her.”
Every word and sentence fall on Catherine’s heart like needles, stirring up waves of dense stinging pain.
Originally, from start to finish, she was just a tool he used to divert attention and stimulate entry
She turned around to leave, but was stopped by Jenny, who had just come back from the bathroom.
She held Catherine’s wrist with one hand, pushed open the compartment door with the other, and greeted the people in the room with a smile. “What are you talking about? It’s so lively that even Jerome’s sister, who was called over, was too scared to come in.“
