GoodNovelChapter 505:
“Are you finished?” His deep, calming voice immediately eased the tension in her chest. She realized she hadn't
checked her phone since she’d texted him before the event started.
Opening the car door, Carrie slipped into the back seat and answered softly, “It's done. I'm in a cab on my way
home.”
Her eyes landed on the baby clothes beside her, and she hesitated, debating whether to share the news with
Kristopher.
Kristopher’s voice cthrough the line, calm and steady. “I've got a few more things to wrap up here. Head
hfirst.”
“The venue plans should've been delivered to the house—look them over and pick the one you like.”
“Huh?” Carrie blinked, snapped back to the moment. “What venue?”
Kristopher’s voice softened. “The venue for our wedding,” he said simply.
For a moment, Carrie was speechless. Then, as the words sank in, a tender smile bloomed across her face.
The warm aroma of freshly prepared food greeted Carrie as soon as she stepped through the door, offering a

room.
The maid, hearing the sound of the door, emerged from the kitchen and smiled knowingly. “Mrs. Norris, are you
looking for the wedding plans?”
Caught off guard, Carrie felt a flicker of embarrassment but nodded slightly. The maid wiped her hands on a
towel, walked over to the coffee table, and picked up a small stack of booklets. “The planner stopped by earlier
and dropped these off. All the materials are here—pictures, descriptions, everything you might need. Would you
like to look at them now, or...?"
“Bring them to the dining room. I'll go through them while | eat,” Carrie replied, slipping off her shoes and
heading to the sink to wash her hands.
Seated at the dining table, Carrie eagerly opened the first catalog while the maid set the table. The first wedding
venue featured a golden vintage theme, oozing opulence. Champagne-colored roses lined the runway, while
feathers and tassels swayed gently overhead, casting a soft elegance over the grand metallic tones. At first
glance, it conjured images of royalty—Iluxurious and graceful. What stood out most was the note emphasizing
that the pearls on the table decor and the crystals on the drapes had to be made from natural materials.
The second venue was simpler but no less breathtaking. A seaside cliff wedding, where the aisle was paved with
seashells and the stage was surrounded by minimalist glass columns that doubled as glowing lights.
The scenic view of the ocean merging with the sky gave the venue a serene yet tic charm. Despite its
simplicity, the cost of the cliffside setting rivaled the first venue. Carrie flipped through more options, each one
more extravagant than the last.
Though she had been married to Kristopher for so long, browsing the catalogs stirred a quiet excitement in her
chest. She had once yearned for a beautiful ceremony, and now, as she flipped through the pages, the thought
of reliving that day felt bittersweet yet enticing.
The maid approached, breaking her reverie. “Mrs. Norris, please eat before the food gets cold. Reheated dishes
won't taste the same.”
Reluctantly, Carrie put the catalogs aside and turned to her meal. The meal that evening was simple yet
satisfying—mostly light vegetable dishes with minimal meat. Carrie's eyes fell on the cabbage and tofu soup,
and for the first tthat day, her appetite seemed to return. She scooped up a spoonful of tofu. Its texture was
soft, almost melting in her mouth, infused with the delicate sweetness of the vegetables.
