Cate was speechless.
She did not expect the matchmaking to come so quickly.
“With Rodney’s mother’s identity, the people she knows are all celebrities in the business world.
Furthermore, she has a good eye for people, unlike my mom who thinks a man is handsome as long as his facial features are normal.”
Mireya grinned. “Besides, she said she’ll introduce to you men of good character and from influential families. Their parents and elders are also loving and harmonious couples.”
Cate said awkwardly, “Actually… Shaun and I… are almost back together again.”
“Huh?” Mireya raised her voice.
“Calm down. Don’t scare the child in your belly. ” Cate quickly appeased her.
“No, you told me a few days ago that you broke up with Shaun and that him dating Hannah had nothing to do with you. How long ago was that? Yet, you’re getting back together with him again?”
Mireya looked at her with disappointment. “I know Shaun wasn’t sincere in pursuing Hannah, but don’t you have a backbone? At the very least, you have to drag on for at least a few more months and torture him thoroughly. Not even a day has passed, and you’re already getting back together with him.” Cate bowed her head in shame, feeling quite useless.
She was very determined in the morning, but she surrendered by the afternoon.
Shaun’s offensive power was too fierce, and he was good at sweet-talking her.
“Forget it. You’ve probably fallen into a pit called ¡® Shaun Lyons’ and can’t get out.” Mireya shook her head in exasperation. ” I’ve thought about it all. I thought I’d introduce to you some good men so that Shaun would feel regretful and annoyed for emotionally abusing his wife.”
“Although I’m starting to be okay with him, that doesn’t stop me from staying cold and indifferent. I’ll continue pretending.” Cate tried her best to regain her dignity.
“That’s true. At the very least, you have to persevere for three days before allowing him to take you to bed.” Mireya encouraged her.
Cate was at a loss for words.
In Mireya’s eyes, she could only persevere for three days?
Forget it. She would not bicker with her.
After that, the two women went on a crazy shopping spree. By 6:00 p.m, they had successfully procured more than ten bags each.
“Let’s find a place to eat first. I’m starving. ” Now that Mireya was pregnant, she could not go hungry at all.
“There’s no need to find a place. I’ve already made a reservation for Tangent Private Kitchen.”
“Not bad for foreseeing it. It’s quite difficult to make a reservation in that restaurant, but I’ve heard that the food there is good.” Mireya praised as they took the elevator upstairs.
When they arrived at the room, they found someone already waiting there. The person had her back to the door and was flipping through the menu. Her long honey-colored hair draped over her shoulders, and she wore a light tan trench coat with blue jeans. It was a very simple outfit. However, when she turned around and revealed her clear but dazzling face, Mireya instantly felt this scene could belong as a picture on the front of magazines or as phone wallpaper.
Some people were just born to be stars.
“Eliza, you’re back. ” Mireya was overjoyed. “Have you recovered?”
“Yeah.” Eliza smiled. “I’ve been busy recently shooting commercials. I’m about to join a film crew.”
“I didn’t expect you to come tonight.” Mireya glared at Cate. “You didn’t even tell me. If I knew, I would’ve asked her to come shopping with us.”
“Forget it. If I accompanied you, we’d be stalked by paparazzi.”
Eliza smiled. “Plus, I was working this afternoon.” “That’s true. Celebrities are very busy.”
Mireya sighed. “It’s only been a month since we last met, but it feels like a long time has passed.”
“Yeah.” Cate felt the same way. Too many things have happened recently. “Eliza, thank you. ” Although she did not leave in the end, she would not forget how Eliza threw her a lifeline when she was helpless.
“What are you guys talking about?” Mireya could not understand them at all. “Are you keeping secrets behind my back?”
“Eliza did me a favor a while ago. ” Cate did not say anything specific. She thought that it was better not to reveal the person that Eliza knew. ” Let’s order.”
The food here was good and special in its own way.
Surprisingly, the three women had endless topics to talk about, from clothes to gossip to hobbies.
“By the way, there hasn’t been any news about Cindy recently. Has she been blacklisted? She was originally engaged to Chester, but there hasn’t been news about that either,” Mireya suddenly asked.
The room fell silent, and Eliza brushed her long hair. “I’m not too sure. I haven’t been to the company lately.”
“She probably pissed Chester off after she contacted Rosabella a while ago,” Cate said. ” I heard Shaun mentioned that before Rosabella died, Cindy seemed to have taken the initiative to introduce Titus and Sheryl to Chester’s parents, with Rosabella acting as the middleman.”
Mireya understood. “I got it. She wanted to appear capable before Chester’s parents by acting like she knew the Costner family. However, the Costner family was targeting Shaun, who’s Chester’s good friend, so she touched Chester’s nerve. She should’ve known better.”
“Yeah.” Cate smiled. “Eliza, is Chester still pestering you?”
” I left Canberra a while ago and haven’t seen him since.” A conflicted look flashed in Eliza’s eye at the mention of that man.
“He has probably lost interest in you.” Mireya grinned. “As long as he’s not pestering you anymore, it’s good. If you want to date, I can introduce you to some quality men any time. I can find someone who’s both powerful and handsome for you.”
“You seem very keen to be a matchmaker recently.” Cate was amused.
“Hehe. It’s because I can’t have them for myself, and when I see such excellent men, I can’t bear to let them go to other people either.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It was from Rodney.
She picked it up lazily. “What?”
“Where are you? I’ll pick you up,” Rodney said.
“Dude, do you know what time it is now? It’s only 8 p.m.” Mireya complained angrily. “I’m still chatting with my friends.”
“My daughter has to go to bed by 9:30 p.m.”
Mireya was speechless. They had not identified the child’s gender, yet he insisted that the child in her belly was a girl. “Heh, your daughter lies in my stomach all day. My belly is her bed. She can sleep whenever she wants.”
“She’ll be more comfortable lying in a bed.” Rodney did not give her the chance to refuse. “
You’re with Cate, right? If you don’t come back, I’ll call her and tell her to persuade you. In the meantime, I’ll also ask her if it’s true that pregnant women should go to bed early and refrain from staying up late.”
“You’re nuts.” Mireya was furious. After thinking about it, she glanced at the bags on the ground and finally told him the address.
“Is Rodney urging you to go home?” Cate teased.
“He’s so annoying, ” Mireya grumbled.
“Pregnant women should sleep early. ” Cate looked at the time and agreed. “Eliza will send me home later. You should go back with Rodney.”
“Will you two eat supper together behind my back?” Mireya asked painfully.
Cate held back her laughter and exchanged a glance with Eliza before shaking her head. “We won’t.”
“Young Master Snow will be here soon, so we’ll head off now.” Eliza suddenly looked at the time and said, “If Rodney sees me here, he might tell Chester, and I don’t want to have anything to do with him.”
“Sure.” Cate agreed.
After sitting for 20 minutes or so, Cate and Eliza left first.
It had yet been ten minutes since they left when Rodney came in wearing a white suit. His skin was very fair, and his beautiful eyes and red lips gave him a bewitching presence. Along with his slender legs, he looked just like a noble prince.
Although Mireya saw this face every day, she still could not help but sigh.
He was a man, yet he looked even better than her. Ugh.
“Why are you alone? Where’s Cate?” Rodney looked at the room. It was quite big, and there were three bowls on the table. “You ate with two other people tonight? Who’s the third person? Mireya Lynch, you aren’t eating out with another man behind my back, are you?”
Mireya rolled her eyes at him. ” I’d love to, but I’m married to you. What man would be willing to have dinner with me?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Annoyed, Rodney frowned. “Are you that eager to find a second love?”
