After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 263

“Okay, but let’s make it three months from now. I want to wrap up the Resonance AI lawsuit before anything else,” Catherine said.

“Sure. We’ll do it your way.”

She looked up, meeting his gentle gaze, and felt her cheeks grow warm. It was about time their parents met face to face.

Lawrence noticed how shy she was, and his heart melted. She was just too cute. He grinned at her. “Let’s go home. Mom made all your favorite food.”

Catherine couldn’t help but smile. “Okay.” Now she was actually looking forward to it.

Back at the Gates family house, Patrick heard footsteps outside. He set his newspaper aside right away, eyes fixed on the door.

The moment Lawrence walked in with Catherine, Patrick’s face lit up.

Adelina came over, beaming. “Catherine, you’re here.”

Catherine greeted them sweetly from the living room. “Hi, Dad. Hi, Mom.”

“Hello, dear!” Adelina replied with a big smile, sneaking a glance at her husband.

The two shared a look. They couldn’t be happier with Catherine. She was perfect in every way.

Patrick had already told Adelina about what happened at the research institute. Catherine had openly shown how much she loved Lawrence, even before she knew who he really was. The two of them were clearly crazy about each other, and even a quick marriage couldn’t change that.

At dinner, Catherine was definitely the star. All the best dishes ended up in front of her, and she felt a little self-conscious about it.

Lawrence just watched with a smile. When Catherine picked up a piece of braised pork, decided it had too much fat, and slipped it into his bowl, he took it with no complaint.

When talk turned to the upcoming Saturday dinner with both families, the Gates parents were all smiles.
