The CEO's Painted Skin 327 Visiting The Family!

Sat.u.r.day, 1:00 in the afternoon.

The weather is sunny and beautiful perfect for celebrating a birthday party.

John picked up Catherine from the Mystic Bay Twin Tower and Ramon put all the shopping bags in the car's compartment.

Twenty minutes later...

John and Catherine were now on their way towards Cavite City to attend Thelma's Birthday Party. They picked up the cake from the bakery they had ordered along the way. Her face lighted up upon seeing the mouthwatering cake. She was the one who chose the design, it was a two-tier cake and a bit pricey but its' worth it. She was confident her mother would love her birthday cake the moment she sets her eyes on it.

Catherine was leaning on John's shoulder. John has his arms wrapped around her, from time to time he would bestow kisses on her head and her cheeks just to let her know how much he cares for her, and his huge affection for her was as vast as the heavens above.

Catherine retrieved her mobile device from her shoulder bag and called Grace.

"h.e.l.lo, cousin!" she said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"h.e.l.lo, Cath, where are you now?" inquired Grace.

"Where's still traveling on the road. How's the preparation going?" she asked.

"I'm in my room for a quick shower but am going downstairs in a few minutes. The foods were coming in. I still have to thank John because he was responsible for the caterer and paid for it and they're now inside the house arranging everything as of this moment. The birthday party will start at 5:00 PM. The guest consists mostly of our neighbors," explained Grace.

"Cousin, listen, I have to tell you this first, I'm currently seven months pregnant with my first child, it's a boy!" said Catherine grinning.

"What? OMG! You guys did it, huh?" Grace was amused.

"Yeah, it's the fruit of our love," said Catherine laughing, she looked at John's twinkling eyes, and winked at him.

Their eyes were communicating in silence.

John pinched her nose playfully.

"Wow, so we will see a pregnant Catherine later on? Auntie Thelma will get the biggest shocker of her life when you guys will finally arrive here," commented Grace.

"We brought a cake for Mother and some presents, I'm very excited to see you all! I have to hang up now, cousin. See you later, bye!" said Catherine.

"Bye, see yeah!" replied Grace.

Catherine ended the call and put her phone back into her shoulder bag.

"The caterer just arrived there and setting up everything for the celebration, thank you so much, John, for making my mother's birthday celebration possible!" she said.

"Nah, don't thank me, my love. Your happiness is my top priority," he responded. He caresses her arms. "Are you getting cold? We can reduce the coldness of the air conditioner..."

"I'm okay, your body is keeping me warm," she replied and smiled sweetly at him.

Catherine fixed her eyes outside the car, they were pa.s.sing houses, buildings, establishments along the highways. Good thing there was no heavy traffic in this part of the city. Within thirty minutes they will be arriving soon to their destination.

They were now entering the vicinity of Cavite City.

At exactly 2:00 PM, Ramon parked the car in front of Grace house.

Several people were milling outside the house.

John and Catherine emerge from the car.

Grace came out from the house rus.h.i.+ng to greet the new arrival. Her mouth agape upon seeing the man beside Catherine. Who is this good looking man? Where is the ugly John who wears a mask on his face all the time? C-could it be John? she murmured to herself. John and this guy have the same height and body built. The guy smiled at her.

"Hi Grace," they guy greeted her, he has the same voice as John! Could it be that he and John were the same person?

Grace finally realized John and the guy was the same person. "OMG! What happened to your face?" she asked. She was blown away by the transformation of his face, without the scars, John was truly a good looking guy. He used to wear a face mask before but now he wears a confident smile on his face that lighted up his eyes.

"I undergo facial surgery months ago to remove the scars, so yeah, what you see now is the brand new me," explained John, for once he did not regret fixing his face, it's thoroughly liberating talking to people without wearing a mask on his face.

Grace looked at Catherine for confirmation, her cousin nodded.

"Wow, nice to see a different John this time, welcome guys! Come inside!" Grace gently touched Catherine's protruding tummy. "How's your pregnancy, Cath? Hope you are not having difficulty since it's your first time," she said with concern in her voice.

"My pregnancy is fine, so far so good. The baby is growing healthy inside my womb, I'm enjoying my pregnancy," answered Catherine.

"That's good! As long as you're happy, I'm happy for you too!" Grace gushes. "But why did you hide your condition from us? If I didn't inform you of your mother's birthday party we will not know that you are pregnant. Are you trying to hide your pregnancy from us, for how long?" Grace pouted.
