Chapter 14 Are You Happy?

At that moment, she opened the wardrobe, only to realize that these pajamas with tags were not his.

Since Catherine had been a shopaholic, she knew these pajamas were expensive without even

glancing at the tags.

Obviously, Ryan didn’t care about the money. But it got her wondering why he did this. (This novel will

be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Was it really because she told him last night that she had to buy

a new one because he had torn her pajama last night when they had sex?

But then again, there was no reason for him to please her, and he was not the kind of person who

would please women.

Instead, he was the kind of person who paid great

attention to privacy and never allowed outsiders to enter his private residence. He probably bought

these pajamas personally and had them sent here.

Puzzled, she couldn’t understand why he would do something so romantic even thought he hated her.

Thinking about all these, Catherine couldn’t help feeling her heart ache.

Although she had no choice but to have sex with him so many times, she couldn’t let herself have

feelings for that man.

No matter what he did, it couldn’t change the fact that he messed around with other women.

Suddenly, she heard her phone ringing in the bedroom. Immediately, (This novel will be daily updtaed

at www.noveljar.com)she closed the wardrobe and ran into the room barefooted. Seeing that Jasmine

was the one calling her, she cursed herself for a brief moment before picking it up.

‘Jas!”

“Why are you disgusted at Leonardo, Cath? Don’t listen to the rumors. He’s actually not that bad.”

“… I just don’t want to be involved with people of such an impressive background.”

“Silly girl, aren’t people all the same despite their backgrounds? I can tell that Leonardo truly fell for

you. How about you give it a try? Think about it, if you marry into the Walkers, we can stay at the Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Walkers’ mansion and be together every day. Wouldn’t…” Instead of continuing, her last words were

replaced by a sexual moan.

“What’s wrong?” Catherine asked.

“Hmm…” Another moan.

“I have something to do right now. I’ll call you later. Hey…” Jasmine said quickly and hung up..

Catering knew what she was doing so how could she not know what that sound was? (This novel will

Ryan was so energetic. Wasn’t he afraid of harming his own body by doing this? She thought to herself

resentfully.

An hour later, Jasmine called back and this time she sounded lazy and languid.

“I’m really sorry for what has happened just now,”

Jasmine explained in embarrassment.

“Are you happy, Jas?” Catherine asked suddenly. After all, this was something she always wanted to

know.

“Huh? Of course, he treats me very well and I am very satisfied.”

Of course, Catherine hoped for the happiness of

her best friend but those words sounded so uncomfortable to hear for some reason. When

Jasmine said she was satisfied for her marriage, she probably meant she felt good physically and

emotionally as well.

“That’s good. As long as you are happy, I am happy.”

At that moment, Catherine decided that she would never let Jasmine know about Ryan’s betrayal so

that she could live in ignorant bliss forever.

Even though that bliss was an illusory bubble, Jasmine would be happy as long as Catherine didn’t

poke it.

“Why do you sound like an old woman all of a sudden?” Jasmine inquired with concern.

“I’m not.”

“By the way, Ryan and I are going to Areza for our honeymoon tomorrow. What do you want me to get

you?”

Great! They were going on their honeymoon. That way, their relationship would improve and Ryan

would probably forget about her in a month.

“I’ll think about it and text you when I decide, okay?” Since Jasmine loved buying her gifts the most,

she knew that she would be upset if she

refused.

“Okay, sure! Leonardo,”

“Leonardo is not my type, Jas. Stop trying to get us together.”

“Lately, we haven’t been meeting very often because I’ve been busy with my wedding. Are you hiding

something from me, Cath?”

Upon hearing that, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Catherine was shocked and

she instinctively stroked her chest to calm herself down, telling herself that Catherine definitely didn’t

find out about her relationship with Ryan.

“Of course not. When have I ever hid things from you?” When she spoke again, she was calm.

“Is there someone you like now?” Jasmine sounded like she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“Wouldn’t you be the first to know if I liked anyone?”

“That’s true. I mean, we did swear to be best friends for the rest of our lives. That means we can’t have

secrets between us.”

At that moment, Catherine’s heart felt like it was under a huge rock, and she found it hard to breathe.

With her eyes closed, Catherine responded with immense difficulty, “Um” as a

response.

Deep down, she felt incredibly sorry for Jasmine. However, she didn’t want her to know the truth

because she didn’t want her to be sad. After all, the things she didn’t know weren’t only her relationship

with Ryan.

Two years ago, something happened to the Greens while Jasmine was studying abroad. When

Catherine went to see Mr. Burton, he refused to help them.

At the time, she found out how heartless people were but she knew it had nothing to do with

Jasmine so she never mentioned this to her.

“Let’s leave it at that, Jas. I have to go out right now.” She no longer had the strength to continue

talking to her since every word she said made her felt she was a total hypocrite.

“Okay, take care of yourself. Don’t let me worry about you, okay?” Jasmine mentioned softly.

“Okay!” Holding back her tears, Catherine hung up.

After all, she felt that she didn’t deserve Jasmine’s pure friendship at all.(This novel will be daily

eternal loneliness as penance for her sins.
