CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 194: MEETING HIM LIKE THIS_2

Knowing that he’s coming to T City, despite the anxiety of meeting him, Becca’s heart is still full of anticipation.

The next day, because she couldn’t sleep, Becca got up early, and coincidentally, Andrew was also awake, so she played with Andrew in the living room early in the morning.

After Christine got up, she saw Becca teasing Andrew in the living room and couldn’t help but laugh, "Looks like someone was excited all night, so even getting up so early she’s still so energetic."

Becca awkwardly frowned, "Sis..."

Christine sat playfully next to Becca, pretending to be serious, "Let me calculate, when I called Secretary Cecily yesterday, Howard just boarded the plane, so technically he should be in T City by now. Why is he not here yet? It’s really making me wait!"

Becca felt like finding a hole to crawl into, blushing, she mumbled, "You just seize any chance to laugh at me!"

Christine laughed and said, "Alright, I know you’re thin-skinned, I won’t tease you anymore... I’ll hold Andrew, you go and dress up nicely!"

Becca was taken aback, "Dress up?"

Christine took Andrew into her arms without waiting for a response, seeing Becca’s puzzled expression, she also became confused, "Hey, Howard is coming later, you aren’t planning to meet him dressed like this, are you?"

Dressed like what?

Becca looked down at herself.

A green spring knit sweater paired with casual cotton pants, simple and nothing special.

Becca raised her eyes to Christine, "What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?"

Christine rolled her eyes, "Heavens, men love to see their women looking pretty, dressed like this even the great beauties would seem less.

Becca looked embarrassed, "I’m already a mom; there’s no need for such fuss.

"Come on, you’re too indifferent! Don’t you want to attract him?"

"..."

"I was even planning to take care of Andrew for you two tonight so you could have some quality time... at this rate, Howard might not have any desire to even be alone with you!"

Knowing what Christine meant, Becca’s face turned crimson, "I hadn’t thought about being alone..."

"Even if you didn’t, Howard would..."

Becca blushed even more, "I’m not talking to you anymore. Fine, if you want me to change, I’ll change!" She said, getting up in embarrassment.

Christine watched with satisfaction as Becca walked into the room, not forgetting to remind her, "Just change into that white dress you wore before. The weather isn’t too cold, just wear a knit cardigan over it when you go out!"

Changing into the white dress Christine suggested, Becca stood firmly in front of the mirror looking at herself.

Indeed, people rely on clothes; just by changing into an elegant dress, her aura transformed entirely.

It had been a long time since she dressed up like this. Since having a child, she had only seriously dressed up once, for Isabella Joanna’s wedding, mostly keeping it casual the rest of the time...

Actually, she used to love being pretty, at seventeen or eighteen years old she had an endless array of designer dresses at home, but at some point, she stopped caring if someone thought she was pretty because she lost her expectations of the world and never considered attracting anyone...

However, today is a special day... though right now it can’t be confirmed if it’s indeed special, but if it is, dressing like this seems more appropriate!

Ding dong, ding dong――

The sound of the doorbell abruptly interrupted Becca’s thoughts, causing her heart to leap to her throat.

Immediately, Christine’s voice was heard, "Coming..."

In the room, Becca heard Christine going to open the door.

Her heart beat wildly, resembling the feeling of a young deer in love, Becca slowly walked to the door as Christine opened it.

"Howard, I say you’re too slow..."

Opening the door, Christine was about to speak but was abruptly stopped, a voice full of discontent immediately followed, "Who are you?"

A young guy in a store uniform, holding milk, facing the unfriendly beauty, helplessly said, "Miss, I’m delivering the milk..."

"Why deliver at this time!"

"..." The young guy was speechless, only sighing that working this day and age is truly tough.

Becca walked out of the room, took the milk from the teenage guy, politely saying, "Thank you."

The young guy quickly left.

Becca placed the milk in the dining room, saying, "I’ll heat the milk; Marie should wake up soon."

Christine walked towards Becca with Andrew in her arms, complaining, "You know Howard is something else; it doesn’t take long from the airport to here. Is he resting at the hotel? But that can’t be right. Doesn’t he miss you?"

Becca didn’t answer this question, only putting the milk into the microwave to heat it up.

Christine noticed Becca’s mood had a tinge of gloom, realizing that she had spoken a bit recklessly, and quickly remarked with a smile, "Blame me for being too anxious... It’s normal for flights to be delayed with bad weather, especially now that it’s still early morning."

Knowing Christine was trying to comfort her, Becca gently smiled, "Sis, don’t worry about me, just let it be!"

"Mm, I believe in Howard."

No one expected that the whole morning would pass without Howard showing up.

What was supposed to be a wonderful day inexplicably took on a dull tint, losing some anticipation.

In the afternoon, with Andrew asleep, Becca quietly sat on the sofa reading a parenting magazine, while Christine paced around the living room with her arms crossed.

Suddenly, Christine plopped down next to Becca, grumpily saying, "Howard is really a bit much, the whole morning has passed, and he still hasn’t come, what does he mean by wasting time like this?"

Becca didn’t respond, still focused on the parenting magazine.

Christine abruptly pulled the parenting magazine from Becca’s hands, speaking seriously, "No, you can’t keep waiting, call him!"

"Sis, let it go... I don’t want to call him, if he really wanted to come, I would wait; if he doesn’t, then so be it." Becca sighed lightly.

Christine frowned discontentedly, "If he does come, I’m really going to give him a piece of my mind!"

At this, Becca stood up, "I’ll go check on Andrew!"

Christine quickly grabbed Becca’s hand, soothing her, "I’m sure he was caught up in something, let’s wait a bit longer!"

Not wanting Christine to worry, Becca gave a serene smile, "Alright."
