Crises in Love novel Chapter 538

Every time I thought of Wood Manor, my mind became a whirlpool of questions.

Lately, the buzz around Wood Manor was overwhelming.

The phone in my hand buzzed again, snapping me out of my reverie. I glanced at the caller ID, it was Catherine. I quickly answered.

"Are you back?" I asked.

She burst into giggles. "Can't keep anything from you, can I? I wanted to surprise you!"

"Are you at home, or... where exactly?" I pressed her.

"Just landed and turned on my phone!" Catherine was tinged with excitement in her voice.

"Stay put. I'll come get you," I said, then turned to Hannah, "We need to head to the airport!"

Hannah raised an eyebrow but started looking for a place to turn around.

Catherine kept talking, "Nice! That's why I didn't call my dad!"

"Please, when have you ever called your dad when you got back? Claiming you're from the Damon family is like saying the sky is green. You're a member of the Wilburn family through and through. Too bad I don't have a brother for you," I teased.

She laughed harder, "I wouldn't mind joining the Wilburn family, especially if it comes with a hefty dowry!"

"Oh? Is that a hint? Are you talking about marriage now? That was quick! So he's done playing games?" I joked. "Got him wrapped around your finger?"

"Damn!" She cursed playfully, "Why do you always bring up the most uncomfortable topics?"

Clearly, Catherine's mood had dipped.

I was surprised, musing that Logan must really have a hold on her. "What's up? He's still playing hard to get? Being noncommittal?" I asked, somewhat annoyed, then added fuel to the fire, "Then let him go! It's exhausting for both of us!"

"Can we not talk about this, please?" Catherine tried to change the subject, "Let's talk about food instead."

"You came back to Silverdale City just to eat? They don't have food in Goldenvale Town?" I chided her, "It's just food. Oldtown Avenue's food will leave you stuffed! Let's hit it up when we get there."

"Really?" She perked up, "You're serious?"
