Chapter 279 Deep Blue Heart

Catherine had never hung Christmas stockings in her bed since she was a child. Once, Bruce dressed as Santa Claus and entered Catherine's room. At this time, Catherine, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.

Catherine was exactly six years old at the time. Bruce found it quite interesting, and then said: "Miss Catherine, I am Santa Claus..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, Catherine yawned and interrupted him: "Dad, it's time to go to bed at such a late hour."

——In the end, Bruce could only leave Catherine's house with an embarrassed face. He was completely defeated...

When she was a child, Catherine felt a little "naturally stupid". Because she had just come to this world, Catherine was not familiar with everything, and because she was really bad at English, she spent a lot of time just learning the language.

On the other hand, due to the change in gender, it was also difficult for Catherine to adapt at that time. Because of these various reasons, Catherine at that time did sometimes feel difficult to contact.

Mr. and Mrs. Edson initially thought it was the sequelae of the car accident—in fact, it was for this reason—but later, because of Catherine's gradually developing talent, they gradually felt at ease.

"Although this is not my first time coming to the United States, the United States is indeed much better than the United Kingdom..."

The conversation between Lady Susan and Elsa had ended, and both of them sat over with a smile.

Although Elsa asked Catherine to dress as usual, Catherine still put on a knee-length skirt. She looked more dignified tonight than usual.

"What a good lady." She looked at Catherine and then let out a sigh.

Catherine just smiled at this.

Although Ms. Susan wants to adapt to modern people's life very much, on the other hand, she is conservative. Because of this, she can be regarded as a contradictory complex.

The pace of the times is constantly advancing, and many people are trying to adapt to the surrounding environment. But for a woman with such an ancient aesthetic taste, this is indeed somewhat difficult.

Although Ms. Susan is already middle-aged, she seems to pay great attention to maintenance and does not look too old.

"In fact, the United States is not that good...the taxes here are really heavy..."

Bruce seems to be thinking about something... He is a big capitalist like Catherine...

In response to Bruce's complaint, Lady Susan just chuckled.

By the next day, which was Christmas Eve, the festive atmosphere had been completely aroused. Although many shops were closed for the holiday, there were still many people shopping on the streets.

People in many places in the world celebrate Christmas, but only those in Europe and the United States are the most "authentic". As for Christmas in Japan and other places, it has more of a commercial significance. For example, many Japanese take their daughters out on dates on this day.

etc……

The Christmas tree at home had already been put up, and it was all decorated before Catherine came over.

On this day, thousands of European and American people rush home to have a reunion. An essential celebration of Christmas night is a party. Most European and American family members reunite at home, have a sumptuous dinner together, and then sit around

Beside the blazing fire, play the piano and sing, and talk about family happiness together.

Due to family issues on both sides, all the relatives of Catherine's family are already in Mr. and Mrs. Edson's home. The remaining ones are already far apart by blood.

Although there are not many people, it is rare for everyone to gather here. Although it is not lively, it is very warm.

"I never thought we could still get together here." Lady Susan looked at her brother, then at Emma, ​​and finally focused on Catherine and Elsa.

There was a huge torch on the table, which was full of aroma.

In addition to eating beef roux, Catherine's favorite is jirou. Although the taste of jirou is somewhat different from that of jirou, it is still pretty good. Probably because she ate too much pork roux in her previous life, Catherine has never caught a cold in her life.

The rou is probably the pig rou.

For Europeans and Americans, the family gathers together to have a meal, usually in the evening, but this is different in the East, where the family usually has a meal at noon.

In the evening, everyone gets together and has dinner.

But on this day, many people also like to hold masquerade parties and so on. Lily originally invited Catherine, but Catherine declined.

Probably because of the influence of her previous life, Catherine is considered a person with a strong sense of family. For her, this kind of time should be spent with her family, rather than going out to play with her friends.

Spending time with your friends is abundant, but spending time with your family is precious.

"Yes, dear, do you remember when we first arrived in the United States?"

Bruce smiled and looked at Emma.

"Yes, it was really hard at that time, and we were also worried about your education, Kate. Our team in the United States was really worried at that time..."

Emma recalled those days when she first arrived.

"But it looks like we made the right decision."

Emma looked at Catherine again.

Although Emma has always expected Catherine to become an excellent ballet dancer, she respects Catherine's choice.

"But Kate's qualifications are really good. I heard from Elsa that you practice ballet every day?"

Lady Susan asked.

"The main reason is that I don't want my body to become stiff. It's not easy to have a good body."

Money can't buy health...

"Exercise is indispensable," Bruce agreed.

At this time, "Survivor" was still playing on the TV, not the traditional Christmas celebration program.

Although Angel TV's move was unexpected, the ratings were still good and people liked the program very much.

“I really don’t know what we will do with computers after a nuclear war~ Visit

Emma seemed a little moved when she looked at the people struggling to survive on TV.

"Don't worry, that thing won't explode." Catherine was confident.

——To be honest, there is no "lucky person" like Catherine who sleeps with her. Except for Elsa who blindly trusts Catherine, everyone else has a non-committal attitude towards this.

Catherine shrugged and continued eating the turkey.

"By the way, dad, where is my gift?"

"Let's wait until tomorrow." Bruce rubbed his chin, but Catherine was a little discouraged.

It seems like we really have to wait until Christmas day?

…

The night passed, and when Catherine woke up, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

"So early?"

Catherine shook her head. She wanted to go back to sleep, but found that she couldn't fall asleep.

So she had no choice but to put on her dress and then came out to wash up. But when she was in the living room, she saw Bruce holding a gift box and smiling mysteriously.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Catherine looked at the somewhat strange Bruce and couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... that... uh... nothing." He seemed to be trying to put away his gift, but in the end he found that he had no place to hide it: "Uh... okay... Happy holidays, Kate."

Bruce finally chose to hand over the gift box to Catherine.

"Is this your 'surprise'?" Catherine asked.

"Open it and take a look. You won't be disappointed... But it's such a pity. I originally wanted to give it to you at a more formal time."

Catherine opened the gift box strangely.

"This...this is..."

Inside is a sapphire.

Surrounded by a necklace made of platinum, and in the middle of the necklace is a crystal clear gem.

"it's beautiful……"

Catherine's favorite color is blue. To be more precise, it should be the crystal blue of the sky and the ocean, and this gemstone is such a color.

"To dear Catherine."

There is a small line of characters written on the platinum next to the gem.

"This is made of tanzanite, the one you mentioned." Bruce looked at Catherine's astonished look, and then laughed: "This gem is called 'Dark Blue Heart'... Actually, I was originally

I want to call it 'Heart of the Ocean'. How about it, Kate, do you like it?"

"Heart of the Ocean?" Catherine felt like she had made a mistake.

"This is your favorite color, just like the essence of the sea. Unfortunately, the name is not very good."

Yes, the Heart of the Ocean, the legendary gem of misfortune, and the kind that kills whoever touches it. That gem is also known as "Hope", and it once made Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI all suffer because of it.

When it comes to bloody mold...

And another important point is that the name "Heart of the Ocean" is exactly the same as the name in "Titanic" (by the way, this Heart of the Ocean is also made of tanzanite)...

Although this is something worth complaining about, "Titanic" has not been filmed yet, and even James Cameron is just a teenage boy now...

"Thank you, dad~"

Catherine went over and gave Bruce a hug.

"Dad, help me take it"

"Um."

Catherine has never been stingy about the beauty of her appearance. Becoming a daughter is already a fact in itself. If this is the case, then why should she waste her body? Living well is the right way.

Bruce brought the "Dark Blue Heart" to Catherine, and then Catherine came to the mirror.

It didn't take long for everyone to get up.

"Kate, you look so beautiful with the 'dark blue'." Emma saw that Catherine had already put on the gem, and she also smiled. It seemed that she had known about it for a long time.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me?"

People are like this. After knowing a problem, they will constantly want to get to the root of it. But Catherine was itched by Bruce and felt very uncomfortable.

"Because it's a surprise."

Emma smiled.

"Okay...surprise."

Catherine looked at the gem in front of the mirror...it was indeed beautiful.
