Chapter 920
The clock struck midnight as a reminder of the next day's arrival.
Catelyn immediately sent a text message to Sylvie to congratulate her. She knew that her grandmother was asleep, but she still wanted to wish her on time.
Thinking of the gift she would give to her grandmother the next morning, she was afraid that her grandmother might not like it.
At 12.30 p.m. on the next day, guests started to arrive at Atherton Manor right after having lunch.
In the past, no matter what kind of celebration that was, it was always held in a hotel. Henceforth, for all the guests, that was the first time a party was held in Atherton Manor.
Holding a party in Atherton Manor was a symbol and also a showcase of the Atherton family's dignity.
Catelyn went to the airport to pick up Joanne early in the morning and went straight to the nearby high-end evening dress boutique.
Although the banquets she attended in the past as a celebrity was not as high-class as the Atherton family's, Edwin told her the preference of his grandmother and how their family's parties would usually look like before. Thus, she chose a low-key mossy-green high low-hem dress, which showed off her exquisite body shape.
Catelyn chose a light blue one-shoulder evening dress with a hollowed-out chest, which was fashionable and attractive.
While she was looking in the mirror, Joanne peeked from behind. "Screw you." Catelyn picked up the hem of her chest and teased Joanne, "Yours is more exaggerated than mine!"
Joanne chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all, and raised her chest to show off. "Aww, someone's jealous. I guess it's genetic, you know?"
Catelyn rolled her eyes at Joanne and then looked at her own. It was incomparable.
Joanne was a typical baby-face girl with big boo-
Silently retracting her eyes, Catelyn asked about Joanne's gift for her grandmother.
Joanne said that Edwin had it ready, and she did not have to care about that.
In fact, Joanne had prepared something else. She knitted a scarf for Sylvie, but Edwin disliked it and told her that he would buy a gift for Sylvie on their behalf.
Joanne's eyes dimmed when she heard that. Sylvie was very kind to her, but unfortunately, Edwin did not allow her to give that to her, probably because the scarf was too embarrassing in appearance.
After taking a deep breath, Joanne smiled again and changed the subject of their conversation. However, Catelyn glanced at her flat belly with a hint of worry, hoping that everything would be smooth and no trouble would be encountered at her grandmother's birthday party.
Around 5 p.m., Catelyn and Joanne finished getting ready, and the driver took them to Atherton Manor.
