Crises in Love novel Chapter 50

I got out of bed and peeked out the window towards the front gate.

To my surprise, standing there was Catherine, a delightful sight. It seemed like she had returned from Silverdale City.

I saw Zora stopping her at the gate, so I quickly opened the window and shouted, "Let her in!"

Then, I hurried downstairs.

Upon hearing the commotion, Jaylan also followed suit.

As my eyes locked with Catherine's, we both broke into smiles and started our performances.

"Allie, I've missed you so much! Had I not returned to Silverdale City, I wouldn't have known you were back!" Catherine put a large bag and a box of toys on the coffee table, rushed over and gave me a tight hug, "Why didn't you call me when you got back?"

She pinched me hard, and I knew she had something to say.

"Catherine, it's been a while!" I responded accordingly, "You were in Silverdale City?"

I led her towards the sofa, deliberately asking the question.

"Indeed, it's been a while since I've been back. There was some business in Silverdale City, so I took the opportunity to visit home, and also visit your parents."Catherine answered.

Jaylan greeted Catherine enthusiastically with a smile, "Catherine, it's great to see you!"

"Is it? I've been here a few times but couldn't even get past the gate!" Catherine shot back, "Your maid is too devoted to her job, she's completely impartial but heartless!"

I nearly laughed at her comment, it was exactly what Clara had said about Zora earlier.

Zora looked embarrassed, so I signaled her, "You can go about your business!"

Hearing this, those two women headed towards the guest room.

I warmly invited Catherine to sit down. She scrutinized me up and down, exclaiming, "Allie, you've lost weight! And your hair… why did you cut it?"

I feigned helplessness and sighed, "I had to cut it after I fell sick and started losing a lot of hair."

Catherine glared at Jaylan reproachfully, "Mr. Dawson, you haven't been taking good care of our Aaliyah!"
