“Not yet.” Johanna shrugged and said nonchalantly, “We're still too young to be parents.”
After saying that, the woman looked at her friend and smiled devilishly. “Now that you've given me a godson and a goddaughter, I don't feel like having kids of my own anymore!”
“Too young to be parents? If I remember correctly, Timothy is already thirty-two this year, right?”
Johanna said, “Is thirty-two considered old? Look at your Armand. If you didn't get pregnant, he would still be childless even at thirty-seven!”
Genevieve was at a loss for words when she heard that.
Johanna glanced at the time on her watch and got up, saying, “I'm famished! Let's go eat barbecue now. If we go any later, we might have to queue to get a table. We can continue chatting while we eat.”
“Sure.” Genevieve left with Johanna after footing the bill.
Johanna blabbered on and on while they ate, telling Genevieve how angry she had been when the latter left back then. She was upset as she thought their friendship wasn't important to Genevieve at all and had planned to ignore her forever. However, she ended up making up with Genevieve over a free barbecue meal.
Genevieve told Johanna that there were some things she had found out during the past four years when she was in Dartan. She also told her friend about her plans after returning to the country.
Johanna took out a few pieces of tissue to wipe away her perspiration before asking worriedly, “What if you lose the bet?”
“That won't happen,” Genevieve answered confidently.
However, she added after taking a pause, “But I've already made arrangements for my two kids in case I end up losing the bet. Besides, with you and Cooper taking care of them, there's nothing for me to worry about.”
“You are not allowed to keep anything from me anymore!” Johanna glared at her friend angrily before saying, “Otherwise, I'll marry your son and drive you mad!”
Genevieve looked at Johanna, feeling speechless. “I never knew you were so evil!”
After chatting for a while more at the barbecue restaurant, the two women left and shopped around the mall.
As it was a weekend, and a celebrity was there for a promotional event, the mall was exceptionally crowded that day.
Genevieve told Johanna that she could choose any clothes or jewelry she liked and offered to pay for all her shopping expenses. The two of them hung out at the clothing department for a few hours and emerged with their hands full of shopping bags.
When they went downstairs, Genevieve headed to the perfume section to choose a perfume.
F*ck! To think that he still wrote a cheque and humiliated me!
