Who knew if Cathy would suddenly have an episode if Nell forced her to do something.
If Mr. Donnelly was not present at that time, he would inevitably fail in his role as a friend.
Thus, although he felt awkward, he still dutifully stayed.
On the other side, Nell brought Cathy out after chatting with her.
The first thing they saw after pushing open the door was the three men standing guard outside.
Sean immediately stood up and rushed over to pull Cathy away, and said with urgent concern, “Cathy, how are you? Are you okay?”
Cathy’s mood had stabilized a lot now and she shook her head with a smile.
She turned to look at Nell with a gentle smile. “Nell, are you free tomorrow? If you are, I want to go to the outskirts of the capital. I heard that there are several scenic spots there that I haven’t been to yet.”
Nell nodded quickly. “Yes, I’m free. Let’s go tomorrow.”
Gideon raised an eyebrow at the scene and a smile flashed across his eyes.
Sean was also slightly stunned, as if he could not understand how Cathy’s attitude towards Nell could change this much after just a few words.
Gideon suddenly stepped up and walked to Cathy.
“Mom, I’ll accompany you with Nelly tomorrow.”
Cathy jumped and took a step back, looking at him in shock.
Nell quickly moved forward as well to pull Gideon back. Then, she gave Cathy an embarrassed smile.
“Mom, I’m married. He’s my husband, Gideon Leith.”
Cathy snapped back to reality and forced a smile. It was clear that her attitude towards Gideon was not as natural as it was towards Nell.
However, perhaps considering his relationship with Nell, she did not shrink back and mustered the courage to nod instead. “Sure.”
To the side, Mr. Donnelly clapped his hands and burst out laughing.
“Great! This is great! It’s a marvelous joy that Ms. Morrison and Mrs. Leith can acknowledge each other as mother and daughter. In that case, if you don’t mind, I’d like to host a celebration at a particularly delicious restaurant near our stone gambling site. Of course, that’s only if Mr. and Mrs. Leith doesn’t mind.”
Gideon said, “Since they’ve come to the capital and she’s my mother-in-law, the meal will naturally be my treat. How could I let Mr. Donnelly be the host?”
Then, he immediately took out his phone to call Matthew Starks.
Matthew still did not know that Nell and Cathy had acknowledged each other and only thought that Gideon wanted to socialize with clients commercially, so he booked one of the most high-end and luxurious restaurants in the capital.
Seeing this, Cathy could no longer refuse, and thus, they went for lunch together.
Cathy looked like she was particularly distant from Nell, but in reality, it was not out of malicious intent.
She just could not get past the hurdle in her heart and was afraid to meet people she knew in the past, which might remind her of memories she did not want to recall.
However, Nell already said that she would not mention the past nor force her to remember anything.
Cathy naturally put down the mental burden, and her entire person became much more easygoing and relaxed.
Therefore, over the course of a meal, her relationship with Nell actually improved by leaps and bounds.
Gideon piped up occasionally from the side. Nell and he were both elites among the elites, and Cathy had a simple nature, so it did not take long for them to coax her into laughing and smiling.
As for Sean, he never wanted to let Cathy be reminded about the past, lest she be sad.
