Chapter 376


    Seeing Catherine looking a bit down in the dumps, I jumped in to give her a pep talk, "Don''t sweat it,


    Cath. Like they say, ''Haste makes waste.'' First things first, you gotta make sure your feelings for this


    guy are the real deal."


    Catheriney there without moving, her eyshes fluttering slightly.


    "You need to take a good hard look at whether you two have anything inmon, whether he''s really


    the one you want, the one who''ll stick with you through thick and thin. If you''re sure about him, then


    you''ve got a fighting chance!"

    All of a sudden, she sat up, her eyes earnestly fixed on me through the screen. "Allie, I''ve thought it


    over, and honestly, despite his wise-cracking, the guy''s solid. Think about it, how many can reach the


    top of their game like he has? Plus, he''s so under the radar. No one even knows he''s the one and only


    DragonLord..."


    "Hold your horses, Cath," I cut her off, challenging her, "Are you looking for love or idolizing a celebrity?


    You gotta get clear on that – they''re not the same thing!"


    "I''m not getting it twisted," she insisted stubbornly. "The first time I met him, he was just like an


    electrician, showed up in his work clothes, nothing to write home about. I was so focused on helping


    you out, so I barely gave him a second nce! But..."


    "That''s just it," I cut in, "but as soon as you found out he was the legendary DragonLord, your heart


    skipped a beat, and you started seeing him in a new light! You got curious, wanting to dig into why he''s


    the cream of the crop, why he could be DragonLord."


    I articted Catherine''s thoughts, and she remained still, her gaze locked on me.


    "That''s what got you hooked, right? But I''m telling you, once his celeb aura fades, you''ll start seeing his


    ws. He won''t be the mysterious figure you imagined. No more aura. You might even feel you''ve gone


    overboard and he''s just a regr Joe, maybe with a whole bunch of ws you can''t stand. By then, it


    might be toote for regrets."


    I rattled on, not minding Catherine''s feelings. When ites to matters of the heart, it''s easy for those


    involved to get lost in the sauce. I felt it was my duty to give her a wake-up call, to keep her from


    spiraling.


    Catherine gave me a look of exasperation. "If you put it that way, maybe I should steer clear of that


    entire emotional minefield altogether!"


    "It all depends on your heart!" I said. "If, no matter how hard you try, you can''t shake his shadow, if you


    want to be near him even if it means climbing the highest mountain or swimming the deepest sea, then


    don''t hesitate."


    "I can''t say I haven''t felt that way," she muttered.


    Truth be told, since that day at the hospital when Logan asked Catherine to get him some food, I''d


    sensed something was up with these two. But my gut told me it wasn''t that Logan was disinterested; he


    was just more clear-headed.


    "So, for now, your best bet is to cool off and put yourself in his shoes. Learn to stay collected, shift your


    focus, pour your energy into work. Just enjoy your vacation and spend time with your family. Don''t get


    hysterical over him, letting him dictate your thoughts, emotions, and decisions. That''s the way to go!" I


    "And then what?" she pressed.


    "Then you wait," I replied.


    "Wait? How much longer am I supposed to wait?" she asked, struggling to ept this.


    "Stop ribbing me!" Catherine sighed, on the verge of tears.


    "You won''t have to wait much longer," I assured her confidently. "But this part is tough; it tests your


    patience." Updated at Drаmanovels
