Chapter 35 Let's Go Back

Catherine woke up very early today. Another month had finally passed. Today was the celebration for Belle's birth, and Sofia organized a banquet at home. Catherine had initially refused, feeling that Belle wouldn't understand anything yet and there was no need to introduce her to so many people she didn't know and wouldn't like to see. As long as she received love from Catherine and her family, it was enough.
Sofia didn't want to challenge Catherine's authority, but Belle was her first granddaughter after all. Despite not many people knowing about Catherine's divorce, according to the tradition, it should have been her husband's family preparing for this occasion, not hers. Of course, she would never say this in front of her daughter, but etiquette needed to be observed. Sofia went early to the jewelry store and ordered a set of gold locks, a bracelet for her granddaughter, specially made.
That morning, the nanny gave Belle a bath, changed her into new clothes, and put on the little bracelet. Catherine held Belle and noticed that her daughter seemed very happy today. Belle refused to sleep, keeping her gray eyes fixed on Catherine.
