Chapter 1405
No wonder you are still a bachelor in your thirties. You don't even know the strategy of picking up girls."
Jack touched the back of his hand, which was bitten by Joanne and almost bled. He was a bit excited. "I didn't know
that Joanne was so feisty. She bit me hard, but I like her. She has a personality."
The next day.
Joanne was woken up by the ringing phone.
After seeing Edwin last night and returning from the hospital, she had insomnia again.
Joanne had nightmares and did not fall asleep until dawn.
At that moment, she felt dizzy.
Yet when Joanne saw the caller ID, she lost all sleepiness.

Ollie and Miles had cell phones when they were three years old, and their phone numbers hadn't changed over the
years.
Joanne remembered she had given Ollie her personal number that day. She cleared her throat and pressed the
answer button.
"Hello.”
"Hello, this is Catelyn."
A gentle, cautious female voice sounded on the phone.
Joanne shuddered, not expecting Catelyn to be the one on the other end of the line.
Joanne thought, "Why is Catelyn calling me?
"Did she find out something?"
What happened four years ago flashed through Joanne's mind. She was overwhelmed with emotions and covered
her mouth for fear of losing control. And then Joanne heard Catelyn say, "Ms. Walters, my daughter almost hit your
car with her dog. I've figured out what happened, and I want to apologize to you in person. I wonder if you have
time."
Joanne wasn't sure if Catelyn had recognized her. She was excited.
Joanne told herself this was Catelyn, not Edwin.
There was no danger in going to see her.
So, the two agreed to have lunch together at a Chinese food restaurant near Ocean Path Residence, where they
used to live.
Joanne was apprehensive and expectant.
She put on delicate makeup.
When Joanne was about to go out, she felt upset. She had changed her face, so even though she made up her face

She thought she was there early enough, and she didn't expect Catelyn to be even earlier than her.
The waiter led Joanne up to the private room on the second floor by the window. Once the door was pulled open, a
faint fragrance of gardenia came to Joanne. Catelyn was sitting leisurely at the table, making tea.
After four years, Joanne finally saw her best friend again.
When Catelyn heard the door open, she couldn't hold back her excitement and slowly stood up from her seat.
The two held their breath as they looked at each other.
"Joanne?" Catelyn looked at the unfamiliar face of the woman in front of her, her pupils shrinking.
Catelyn thought, 'Their eyes are so similar.'
Joanne also sized Catelyn up.
Catelyn still looked young. Four years didn't leave any traces on her face.
There was just more softness and happiness in her eyes.
Joanne thought, 'She must have been very happy with Mr. Mason and their children these years.'
"Yes," Joanne smiled wryly and nodded. She could no longer pretend. She took several steps over and held Catelyn's
hand. "Sorry. I have not contacted you these years..."
