r 121 Surprise of The Lives Chapter 121 Surprise of Their Lives +15 BONUS Rhys called an ambulance , ' Yvaine said , ' told his father the wedding had to be delayed , asked him to pacify the guests . You should've seen the look on Clive's face , Mira . He looked like he was going to tear Rhys to pieces , kept shouting " What the hell is this ? " and " What will the guests think ? " ' Yeah , that sounds like the Uncle Clive I know , ' I muttered . ' I'm with Rhys on this one , though .

I mean , Catherine looked barely conscious , and the sweat on her face was visible all the way across the room . ' I nodded . ' Go on . ' ' Rhys yelled , Clive yelled back . Louisa tried to intervene , but no one listened to her . Then Franklin and Caroline arrived and rushed straight to Catherine . All sorts of shouting followed . Everyone was scrambling . Then the ambulance came . Rhys and his sister Willow rushed out with Catherine on a stretcher . And that's all I know . ' She made yummy noises . ' I've got to get the contact info for whoever made this cake . It's seriously amazing .

' ' Forget the cake . You won't believe what I'm going to tell you . ' ' That's going to top my story ? ' Yvaine scoffed . ' Unless you tell me you're pregnant with Ashton's baby , I'm not sure anything can shock me at this point , Mira . ' Don't be too sure . ' I jumped off the bed . ' I'll meet you . It's a long story , and you'll want to be sitting down for this . ' ' I'm already sitting down , and I'm sitting with the best slice of wedding cake in all of Skyline City . ' ' Just come . You won't regret it . ' ' Fine , fine . Looks like the show's over on my end , anyway .

Clive and Franklin are apologising to the guests , probably feeding them some bullshit story about a gas leak or something . Anyway , I'm out . Where are we meeting ? ' I suggested a café we both loved . Yvaine nixed the idea . ' No. Let's go to a cake shop . I've got a craving now . ' I quickly changed clothes and headed downstairs . Ashton looked up from his laptop . ' Just got word from a contact on the force . Someone posted bail for Jace . ' ' Catherine ? That's fast . I thought she was still in the hospital . ' I filled him in on Yvaine's latest scoop . ' No , not Catherine .

It was Rhys Granger . ' ' Ha . ' Ashton smiled . ' You were right . The Grangers are going to get the surprise of their lives once they hear what Jace has to say . ' ' Wish I could be a fly on the wall for that conversation . ' ' Heading out ? ' Ashton glanced at my handbag . ' I'm meeting Yvaine for afternoon tea . To catch her up . ' ' Oh , I thought we could have tea together . I asked Carmen to prepare something . ' ' Oh . ' I glanced toward the kitchen , my steps slowing . ' Um ... ' ' It's fine . You need a friendly ear after everything you've just been through . I get it .

' ' We could do dinner , ' I offered . Then I stepped over to him , leaned down and kissed him . ' Just so you know , you were the first friendly ear I unloaded to , in case you've forgotten . ' 1/3 Chapter 121 Surprise of Their Lives This time , his smile was genuine . +15 BONUS It took two slices of red velvet , one of chocolate fudge , and three cops of the strongest black coffee for Yvaine to fully process my story .

The telling took almost an hour , punctuated by ' ools ' , ' no way's , and plenty of ' WTF's from Yvaine , some loud enough to draw looks from the other patrons in the cake shop . ' So , yeah , that's the story of Catherine Who's - not - really - a - Vance ' I leaned back in my chair , my mouth dry from talking for so long . Yvaine was digging into a slice of strawberry shortcake when she caught my disapproving look . ' I've got a sweet tooth and no self - control , sue me . ' ' No thanks , I've just got out of two court cases . ' I checked my phone . ' I need to go .

' ' But you just got here . ' ' No , I've been out for almost two hours . I need to get back . ' ' Back for what ? ' ' Dinner . ' ' We can have dinner . ' ' No , thanks , I don't make a habit of having cake for dinner . ' ' We'll go somewhere else . You can't just drop a bombshell like that and leave . I need time to digest . I've got questions . ' ' But I promised Ashton I'd- ' ' Hmph . ' She pointed her fork at me . ' Ditching your girlfriend for a man ? That's against the girl code . ' ' Fine . I can stay a little longer . ' I sank back into my seat .

Yvaine shoved her plate aside and stood up . ' Let's go . ' ' Where ? I just sat down . ' ' To a bar . I need to wash down the info dump with alcohol , not coffee . ' ' But my dinner- ' ' Yeah , yeah , your dinner with Dear Ash , I haven't forgotten . ' She yanked me up . ' Don't worry , I'll get you home in plenty of time for your dinner and sex sess with your man . ' ' It's just dinner . No sex . ' " That's sad . ' She bundled me into a taxi and gave an address to the driver . ' It's a new bar , owned by a friend of mine . Just two blocks away .

He asked me to come do a tasting and give feedback . Drinks are free . ' At her suggestion , I ordered a drink called Peat & Zest , a smoky whisky with a twist of lime and something else I couldn't quite make out . I took a sip . ' It's nice . ' Yvaine , on her third Hugo Spritz in under twenty minutes , was already buzzed . Her eyes sparkled with sugar high and alcohol , mixed with a constant stream of gossip . ' Word's spread already .
