Chapter 31 Shameless Bastard

However, it seems that my worries were unfounded.

David did not respond immediately to the other person's teasing.

The moment he touched those muscles, he knew there was a reason why Catherine was able to film the musical "Chicago" while pregnant more than a decade later.

Musical theatre programs in London's West End explicitly list ballet and tap dance as core compulsory subjects. He only knew that Catherine was an excellent tap dancer and had won the All England Tap Dance Championship; judging by her movements, she must be quite good at ballet as well.

The calf muscles are firm and well-defined, and the Achilles tendon is noticeably longer than that of the average person.

This is due to ballet dancers standing on their toes, jumping, and spinning for long periods of time; tap dancers don't have this effect.

A long Achilles tendon means greater explosive power and endurance. This hidden strength, in turn, only fuels his desire to conquer.

"Is this fetish strange? I think there are quite a few men who like feet, but most of them are too embarrassed to admit it."

Especially with your long legs that you always wear stockings, you'd be more than qualified to walk the runway.

Seeing that the other party was being direct, Catherine had no choice but to urge, "Didn't you say you were going to change my shoes? Hurry up and change them, or someone will find out."

"Wait a minute, let me feel your foot shape and see if my size estimate is accurate," David said slowly, stroking it. "If it doesn't fit, you can wear your own shoes later, and I'll go back and buy you new ones."

He's not actually a foot fetishist, at least not to the extent that Quentin Tarantino did.

He was simply curious. Before he transmigrated, he heard from others that girls who danced ballet would have deformed feet. After transmigrating, he always wanted to find an opportunity to verify it and see if it was true.

After some exploration, he concluded that it was indeed different from that of ordinary people, but it was far from being deformed.

The arch of the foot is relatively high and has a certain curvature, similar to an "arch bridge structure"; the toe joints are slightly thick, which is probably due to wearing pointe shoes for a long time. It is not a big problem and cannot be considered a deformity.

"How was it?" Remembering how he had been secretly observing her feet, Catherine felt a rare blush. She tickled his palm with her toe. "Finished touching them? Is it okay, David?"

He picked up the high heels from the ground and, while putting them on her, replied, "They're alright, the size should be fine. But this area is a bit tricky to work on, so let's change them after we get on the bus."

Catherine pulled her foot back, took the bag, and said, "Why did you suddenly decide to buy me shoes?"

After paying the bill, David took the other person's arm and said with a smile, "You don't know how to buy shoes, you walk with a lot of trouble, you don't look like a rising star at all."

I got you a Ferragamo piece, Marilyn Monroe's favorite. It's guaranteed to be both comfortable and stylish.

Ferragamo's founder, Vatican Ferragamo, designed shoes for Hollywood actresses since the 20s, with Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe being among his loyal clients.

That's why David said it was Marilyn Monroe's favorite outfit.

In fact, most of what just happened was intentionally designed and guided by him.

He brought the bag of shoes on purpose and deliberately placed it next to Catherine, in order to arouse her curiosity about what was inside and thus make it easier for him to take them.

He definitely wouldn't do something like in "From Dusk Till Dawn"—it's too bizarre and abstract. However, he would be quite interested in imitating the scene in "Inglourious Basterds" where the Nazi officer deals with the female spy.

Fortunately, Catherine hasn't seen the movie yet, otherwise she would probably think he was a fake Jew.

"Aren't these heels a bit too short?"

She lightly touched the ground with one foot, which visibly sank slightly into the apricot-colored sheepskin carpet. Her right hand unconsciously rested on her waist, and she slightly tilted her ankle to examine the fit of her arch and the top of her shoe in the mirror.

"Everything else is fine."

"It's not short," David, who was standing behind her admiring her graceful figure, said after taking a bite of his apple. "A 2-inch (about 5 centimeters) heel is considered above average for Ferragamo shoes."

"You're not short to begin with. If you wear another 4-inch (about 10 centimeters) piece, I doubt many male stars in Hollywood will dare to walk alongside you on the red carpet."

Catherine's barefoot height is 173 cm. When she wears 10 cm high heels, the only male celebrities who can outshine her are action stars like the Governor, Dwayne Johnson, and Vin Diesel.

Of course, besides these, there must be more...

"Really?" Catherine turned and glanced at him, her tone clearly skeptical. "I thought everyone was like you."

"real."

David Ovitz stepped forward and hugged the other person's waist, resting his chin gently on his shoulder. "Someone like me is already considered quite tall."

This is true, a solid 188cm, which is quite tall in Hollywood at least in this era.

"Oh, right, I haven't asked you yet," Catherine turned around, her amber eyes fixed on him, "You already know my birthday, so what's yours? What's your birthday? Has it passed this year?"

"Uh..." David frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have remembered. Today is September 25th, isn't it?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Hmm, I just realized that I was also born on this day. If that's the case, then I'm exactly four years older than you."

……

Evening arrived quickly, and after discovering that the two were born on the same day of the same month, Catherine became noticeably more talkative, seemingly believing in fate.

In the original timeline, she was able to maintain her marriage with Michael Douglas for over twenty years, without divorcing him until David's time travel. It seems that besides practical considerations, this aspect also played a role. (Michael Douglas was born on September 25, 1944, exactly 25 years older than Catherine.)

In fact, even David Ovitz himself did not expect this. After he transmigrated, he gained all the memories of the original host.

But if you don't consciously think about it, those memories will remain in some corner of your brain and won't surface.

The original host's birthday had little to do with him, so he naturally wouldn't bother searching for it. But when Catherine suddenly asked him about it, he actually had to think for quite a while before he found it.

I never expected to run into Catherine. Could it be that this was intentionally done by some powerful figure in this timeline?

After thinking for a while without finding any clues, he put these matters aside.

Oh well, what's done is done. It's not a bad thing anyway. Let's focus our energy on tonight's decisive battle.

"Where is this place?" "The bathroom."

Catherine turned and rolled her eyes at David. "I'm asking where this house is. Is it your home?"
