The next morning, Shun, Ca.s.sie, and Kendra went for a walk in the neighborhood to visit someone. The little girl holding their hands and she looks so happy feeling like having a mom and a dad.Knocking on someone"s door, that house owner jumped when recognizing her visitor.
"Ca.s.sie! I really missed you," Cara hugs her tightly.
"I missed you too," Ca.s.sie hugs Cara back. Cara let them in and asked who"s this pretty little girl.
"She is Kendra, Miss Loura"s niece, and Shun"s younger cousin but she prefers everyone to call uncle, and pretty auntie those older.
Ca.s.sie already told Cara about Shun over their exchange messages lately, but Cara still can"t believe it. She dragged her into the kitchen to question.
"My goodness, who would have thought you were going to marry your crush for a long time!" She burst out.
Ca.s.sie blushed as even her never thought about it. It"s just like puppy love, someone she admires and has a crush on. Now her boyfriend and a fiancé, then soon, her lawful husband.
Cara did tell her once that maybe Levi likes her, but she really just think of him as a brother, until she shared she has a crush on someone. Cara did like fangirling hearing it all.
"Wait, are you pregnant?" Cara asked with wide eyes.
"Oh, is it now visible and noticeable?"
"Well, just something like your aura saying it so, not to mention you were in love!" Cara can"t stop to commended.
Ca.s.sie just giggles. "Alright, maybe they were waiting now."
They went back to the living room brought some sweets and coffee… as for Kendra and Ca.s.sie, they prepared some hot chocolate. They did have a chit chat.
"Does Levi knew you were going to come for a visit?"
"Hmm… yes, he does."
"What? Now that guy! Since he has a love life, he isolates his friends!" Cara is angry but it sounded like a joke.
Ca.s.sie and Shun glance at each other. Shun did tell her about Madison and her heart is like longing or something. Maybe this is that feeling of, you left something unfulfilled in your past life, something very important that a part of you left behind on that time… and that is what made her anxious to meet Madison.
"Then, the rest of our friends haven"t heard yet. I"ll go contact them and let"s reunite on my birthday!"
"Yes, that would be perfect."
"Okay, just leave it to me!" Cara then began the planning inside her head.
"Pretty auntie, can I come too?" Kendra asked who just eagerly listens to their conversation.
"Of course! You should be there! I will be sad if this cutie misses my birthday!"
"Wow! Thank you, pretty Auntie!"
"Ah, you really are so cute!" Cara pinch Kendra"s cheeks.
After a little bit more chat, the three of them left for Shun"s afternoon meeting. When they get back at Crow Mansion, they make their lunch and Kendra was eager to help then ask a bunch of questions throughout till they"ve done the cooking. Now they could imagine having children of their own, an endless question must be prepared to answer, like a soldier going to war with completed gear. They were too amused with her.
•••••
Days pa.s.sed, Larry and Loura"s wedding is approaching. Cara is also busy preparing to organize her birthday which comes first. Ca.s.sie offers to help but Cara actually not planning only for her birthday but Ca.s.sie"s welcome party. She refuses Ca.s.sie"s help of course.
Cara has been strolling the street to look more things on her birthday when she saw something on the window and she immediately went inside the store. She got the other things she needed. And one thing she found that too cute! She picks it up when another hand also wants to take it. Cara looks up and surprises a little bit.
"Oh, okay, you can have it." The guy told her.
"Ah, no… you can have it. I don"t really need it, it"s just something a giveaway," Cara told the guy.
"Hmm… I do want it for my daughter, but since you took it first, it"s yours."
Cara was speechless. She actually knew him, he is a great scientist and a modern doctor on his time.
"It"s okay, I do plan to give it to Cara," she said and smiled. The guy was too surprised.
"You know my daughter?" He said, feeling unbelievable. "Oh, Derek Williams." He introduced himself and give his hand.
"Cara Jones. Nice to meet you, Doctor Williams," Cara took Derek"s hand.
"Ah, did Kendra mentioned?"
"Oh, no. You were our guest speaker last time on my first year in the University," Cara replied.
"Hmm… that would be?" Derek trying to recall which college he did deliver a speech.
"PSL Research University Paris," Cara make it easy for him to remember.
"Oh, that"s right! Then, you are a Medical student."
Cara nodded. "Then, you can have it, doctor, Williams."
"No, you can have it and I"ll pay for it." Derek offers that made Cara dumbfounded.
"Doctor Williams?"
"Let me pay for it, but as long as it is for my daughter, you can wrap it for her. Am sure she will be happier to receive it from you."
"But…" Cara cannot believe it.
"Don"t worry, I actually have another one in mind but that one is truly the cutest one that"s why it got my attention," Derek explains. "Wait here," Derek take the stuffed toy from her hand and pays for it to the cas.h.i.+er. After a few minutes, Derek handed her the shopping bag.
"You really don"t have to do this, Doc…" Cara shyly told the doctor.
Derek laughs. "That"s nothing, of course," he smiled.
"Then, in exchange, let me treat you for a coffee, Doc." Cara invited him.
"That"s a good idea!"
Meanwhile, at Crow Mansion, they have a surprise guest.
"h.e.l.lo!" Levi greeted Shun on the doorsteps. Behind him is someone they wanted to meet for a long time.
