Renata rose from the sofa.
"It's getting late. Go get some rest—you have to be up early for work tomorrow."
"Mm."
Catherine agreed and was about to head back to her room when Renata called out to her again.
"Invite Bert over for dinner sometime. After what happened tonight, he did help you in the end. No matter what his motives were, we should still thank him properly."
Catherine was a little surprised.
"Invite him over… to our place?"
To Catherine, having Renata host Bert at home felt almost like a formal meeting with the parents. Although Renata had already met Bert and even had a meal with him before, back then his identity had merely been Lilian's brother.
This time would be different. If they sat down to eat together again, his identity would be her boyfriend. The thought made Catherine inexplicably nervous.
Renata glanced at her.
