Chapter 15: Pepper's Shock
Plugging in her phone, Catherine quickly found a text message from Jennifer. Wang Dali on the side also lay on the bed, half-hugged Catherine, sniffed the shampoo on her brown and golden hair, and flipped through it with her.
"Clarion Daily, New York Times, and New York Post?"
Looking at the information on the screen, Wang Dali said with some amazement.
Not to mention the daily Clarion Daily, which is always tied to Spider-Man, the New York Times and the New York Post are the two major New York Daily magazines on a scale comparable to the New York Daily News.
Catherine did not stop Wang Dali's movements, but instead posted a post into his arms, feeling the other party's warm body.
"Catherine, which of these three newspapers are you more optimistic about?"
"The Clarion Daily was the first to rule it out, it was a gossip tabloid, and it still occupies a lot of space in the gossip page, which is not suitable for me."
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, and Catherine had another reason not to say. The stinginess, power lust and neuroticism of the boss of Clarion Daily are well known in the New York newspaper industry, and she is reluctant to work with such a boss.
"The New York Post is controlled by the conglomerate, and even as editor-in-chief has very little power. So, I'm leaning more towards the New York Times. β
Putting the phone aside, Catherine pulled the thin quilt on her body and turned her head to face Wang Dali.
"Still, I don't want to work so soon. Some time ago, I was so tired from working overtime, I plan to take a good rest for a month and go to all parts of the country to see. β
"Okay, let's go together."
Looking at the Biren in his arms, the first taste of the forbidden (crab) fruit, Wang Dali, who was strong in blood and blood, stretched out his sinful left hand again and probed into an indescribable deep valley.
This time, Catherine, who had eaten breakfast and felt some strength in her body, did not stop her. Soon, the atmosphere in the room became hot, and even the air conditioner turned on was helpless, and could only look at the two young people who knew the taste of the marrow (?). and hugged each other again.
ββββ ββββββBang Bang
A month later, the New York airport.
Dragging a large suitcase in one hand, Wang Dali, who did not look the same as a month ago, walked behind, and in front of him was Catherine, who looked no more than twenty-five years old.
After a month of double moisturization of Wang Dali and love, Catherine felt several years younger, and her skin became much moisturized and smoother.
Along the way, many men who were amazed by Catherine's combination of youth and style, and her bumpy figure secretly showed envy, jealousy and hatred to Wang Dali, which made him quite proud.
Originally, Wang Dali planned to call a car to go home with Catherine. But she shook her head and pulled Wang Dali to the exit of the airport to look around.
After a while, a Rolls-Royce that made Wang Dali feel a little familiar slowly drove towards them.
Stepping out of the car was Wang Dali's former employer, Catherine's niece Pepper.
Speaking of which, Catherine is only six years older than Pepper.
"Auntie, Dali, long time no see."
"Pepper, how do you have time to pick us up today?"
Looking at Pepper, who she hadn't seen for more than a month, Wang Dali asked with some curiosity about her, as Stark's assistant, there should be a lot of things.
"Tony's power in the company was suppressed by the board of directors and I was now in a state where I had nothing to do. I just heard that my aunt and you have returned from a trip, so I just came to get together with you. β
There was a hint of helplessness in Pepper's tone, and it was clear that this state was not of her own volition. However, listening to her tone, it seems that the famous Tony Stark can't do anything, let alone her little assistant.
"Don't talk about that, Dali, how have you been playing this month? Is there anything interesting going on? β
"Of course."
Wearing high heels, Catherine, who was about the same height as Wang Dali, gently kissed him on the mouth and raised her right hand. On it, a diamond ring is sparkling in the refraction of the sun's rays.
"Pepper, you should be called Uncle Great by now."
"Aunt, uncle?"
Looking at Catherine's actions just now, Pepper, who was in a state of confusion in her mind, lowered her head and stared at Wang Dali's right middle finger on the other diamond ring that was very similar to Catherine's shape and style, and the expression on her face was surprised and even looked good.
"Don't you ......?"
"Well, we're married."
Holding the smiling Wang Dali's hand, Catherine happily said to the stunned Pepper.
Although she still looks young, Catherine is well aware of the age gap between herself and Wang Dali. If you don't tie him up a little tighter, will you wait for yourself to grow old and decrepit in a few years, so that some little girl can snatch him away from her?
"Why is it so sudden, but congratulations."
After the initial turmoil, reason returned to Pepper's mind, and she reached open the car door and gestured to Wang Dali and Catherine.
"Let's get in the car, I have a lot of things to ask."
β¦β¦
"So, how did you come together?"
Pepper took out a few bottles of drinks from the compartment in the carriage and handed them to Wang Dali and Catherine, and couldn't wait to ask the two.
"Probably it came naturally."
Talking about her relationship experience in front of her niece, especially when the other party is still a man ten years younger than her, Catherine is still a little shy.
"On Vigor's eighteenth birthday, I suddenly realized that he was a man and not a boy as I thought he was. And then slowly, in life, it fell. β
"What about you?"
Looking at the happy smile on her aunt's face, Pepper looked enviously at the diamond ring in the other party's hand.
In terms of value alone, she could buy several of these ordinary diamond rings that cost only tens of thousands of dollars. But the person she wanted to give her such a ring would never buy it for her.
"Me?"
Hearing Pepper's question, Wang Dali smiled lightly.
"It's the same as Catherine. I was even a minor when I met her, and at first I was only attracted by her appearance, which was purely a tenant-landlord relationship. But after living together for a few years, before you know it, you become like family. β
"So, as you can see, in Las Vegas, Catherine and I became real family."
With that, he and Catherine looked at each other and smiled, the flashbang that brightened the eyes of a blind dog made Pepper, a single dog, so sad that he unconsciously took out brandy and lighters from the compartment of the car with a high enough alcohol concentration to burn.
Because of a car accident a few years ago, Pepper's parents and grandparents, that is, Catherine's parents, and her brother and sister-in-law were tragically killed. Otherwise, Wang Dali would have visited Catherine's elders first, instead of marrying her in a Las Vegas church.
