CHAPTER 494
Catherine took a long shower and then lay flat on her bed.After doing nothing for a few minutes, she grabbed her diary and opened it.There were two names on the front page with a heart symbol in between.The first name was Catherine and the second name was Denver.She grabbed a pen and brought it closer to Denver’s name. She wanted to strike it and make it invisible, but she couldn’t do it.And it frustrated her.She started flipping pages and saw the words she had written on different days and nights.Some were about her own life, and some were about her ongoing struggle with Denver.She stopped by the page when it was her last birthday.On that day, she wrote just a few lines:‘Every moment that I live, I want to live it with you.Every breath I take, I want to fill it with you.Whatever my future holds, I want to live it with you.Whatever path it may take, I will walk it with you.’These words turned Catherine’s eyes wet.“I’ve hidden you in my heart, Denver,” she uttered weakly
CHAPTER 493
Catherine shut down her pool and was returning home at night.The pool property wasn’t far from home, so she was walking on foot. Even though there was nobody in sight, she wasn’t afraid of the streets.It was cold outside, so she was shivering a bit.It reminded her of the moment when Denver gave her a blanket when they were on the rooftop of their house.That was the first and the only moment a man or anyone for that matter offered her a cloth to cover her from the cold atmosphere.“Denver, that fool… why does he not go against my dad’s word?” Catherine kicked an empty soft drink can in frustration. “He’s more docile than a pet dog! Our neighbor’s dog is better rebellious than him!”She followed after the can and went to the middle of the road to kick it once more.A car zoomed toward her in a jiffy.She quickly moved to the side, and the car bruised past her face.Catherine’s eyes widened very much.If she had been a second late, she would have been a goner as the car was going at
CHAPTER 492
Denver walked nearly six miles and came home almost two hours after Diane left in the car.Richard was out in the verandah, feeding milk to a stray cat.One looked at Denver, and Richard understood the situation.“You didn’t get the haircut, and you came hours after Diane came home,” Richard let out a breath. “I don’t know what happened, but please bear with her.”“I’m not angry anymore, Uncle,” Denver said. “All the walking helped cool my body.”“Just what did she do for you to talk like that,” Richard asked.It was rare to see Denver get upset at home, so Richard was worried that Diane might have done something to irritate or upset Denver.“Not much,” Denver took out the restaurant bill and gave it to Richard before entering the home.After seeing the bill, Richard’s eyes popped out of the sockets. “What in the world… Two and half thousand dollars for dinner? What the hell did you two eat? It may be the Bob’s restaurant, but this amount is ridiculous! What did you two buy?”“It’s no
CHAPTER 491
A few minutes later.The girl and her wheelchair boyfriend were coming out.Denver helped the boyfriend as they were coming down the stairs.“I’ll get the car,” the girl said and left.Denver and the boyfriend were now alone, so Denver asked, “How long have you known each other?”“She’s my childhood friend,” the guy replied. “We’ve known each other for almost twenty years. Weeks after I lost my legs in war, my parents died in a crash. I thought I’d spend the rest of my life alone, but I found her.”“Be careful, Brother,” Denver patted his shoulder once. “Don’t rush into marriage unless you think you can bear losing your wealth and relationship.”The guy looked up at Denver. “Why are you talking so negatively? You don’t know my girlfriend.”“I just don’t want to get kicked out of your own house after you get married,” Denver replied. “Just take my words as a warning and make her write a prenup or something. If she has no bad intentions, she won’t have a problem signing it.”The car arr
CHAPTER 490
“You shouldn’t have taken so long in the washroom,” Diane said casually while eating an oyster worth four dollars each for its supposed high quality.Her words made her friends snicker, giggle, and chuckle.Their outright offensive behavior did not help Denver bear with the situation at all.“You can call the waiter and order again, Denver,” Diane added. “We are yet to order the desserts and drinks, so go ahead and call the waiter.”“I don’t feel hungry anymore,” Denver got up from the seat. “You guys can eat all you want.”“Are you leaving?” Diane quickly queried.“No, I’ll just stay outside. Call me when you’re done,” Denver said and walked away.“Hey, he won’t leave us here to pay the bill, would he?” Diane’s friends doubted him.“He wouldn’t dare,” Diane snorted. “If he leaves without paying, I only need to tell my mom what happened, and she wouldn’t even let him eat at home.”“Haha, you sure have him wrapped around your finger even before marriage,” Diane’s friends laughed. “You’
CHAPTER 489
Three taxis were called as there were eight friends. With Denver and Diane included, a total of ten people had to be paid for.Denver had to pay forty dollars just to get to the restaurant that was only a couple of miles away.What’s worse, the restaurant Denver brought him to wasn’t a small restaurant.All of Diane’s friends looked excited, but Denver didn’t look that happy or calm.But he remembered Uncle Richard’s words, ‘keep her happy, and she’ll end up loving you sooner or later.’Sighing, Denver entered the restaurant.They sat where two tables were joined.The girls were all busy taking pictures of themselves and of the restaurant. Diane was no exception.But Denver seemed a little unhappy that Diane wasn’t talking with him, let alone take a single picture of him.After spending twenty minutes making the orders, they grew busy with their mobiles once more, texting and chatting and what not.Denver was the only one at the table who did not touch the mobile.One of the girls eve
