CEO’s Romantic Affair

Nodding his head in agreement, Keith reached out to hold her hand, which was exposed to the wind.

Cathryn’s hands were cold because of the blowing wind, and the cold penetrated the palm of his hand, reaching the bottom of his heart. The two of them had been separated for only eight days, he still missed her deeply. They were holding hands, but for some reason, she felt a bit ashamed. She was blushing, and her heart was racing rapidly.

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Keith held her hand tightly and said, “Let’s get to the car. It’s too cold outside.”

Cathryn nodded quickly, tiptoed up to the car to take a glance, and found the black Bentley parked at the side of the house. When they got into the car, Keith turned up the heater.

She was shivering involuntarily, and her body gradually warmed up. Almost whispering, she asked him, “Did you drive here yourself?”

“No.” He said while sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at Cathryn. Keith reached out to help Cathryn wrap her scarf a little tighter and said, “There is no direct flight to Germany into Douglas City, so I came to Jonathan City to take a plane.”

“Did you take time off just to see me?” Cathryn asked in surprise. However, suddenly aware of something, she frowned and asked, “But how did you know the address of my grandma’s home?”

Already knowing that Cathryn must have pushed the button by accident, Keith smiled helplessly, pulled up Cathryn’s hand, and exposed the white wristband on her wrist.

Cathryn suddenly remembered that she had accidentally pressed something at lunch, but she hadn’t expected that she had pushed the wrong button. No wonder Keith had said that he would come to her if she pressed the button when she was in danger. It turned out that there was an instantaneous positioning system inside the wristband.

She had pressed the button at lunch, and it was fortunate that Keith happened to be in Jonathan City.

“If he had been in Douglas City, it would have taken him a long time to get here.” Cathryn thought. As the warmth poured into her mind, she felt reassured.

Keith always meant what he said, never making empty promises. As for Keith, there seemed to be nothing he could not do.

“What time is your flight? Don’t miss it.” Cathryn reminded Keith.

Cathryn’s heart beat so fast that she felt very flustered, and she didn’t dare to look at Keith’s face.

The fatal tenderness of Keith made Cathryn’s heart race. It was entirely out of control.

Instead of answering Cathryn’s question, Keith asked, “Why aren’t you happy?”

Cathryn took a deep breath when she came out of the doorway, which Keith had seen.

Cathryn was an optimist and had a calm temperament. There was no way she would try to escape from her home unless she was particularly unhappy. The mentioning of this, Cathryn shrugged.

She sighed and said, “I have no career, and my family thinks I’m lazy and should be married. I haven’t given my parents any decent set of answers for the past two years. So I really don’t know… whether I can be a good mother.”

With this, Cathryn pressed together with her lips and put her hand on her lower belly. When feeling her belly and that it has slightly bulged from overeating. This made her burst into laughter, and she said, “I told my father that I was on a diet, but I overeat again.”

After saying this, she realized that she must have sounded ludicrous, and she shook her head and started laughing again.

“Take it easy. Nobody is born to succeed in everything.” Keith comforted her. Looking at Cathryn, Keith thought she was adorable, and he reached out to touch her head. She felt so relaxed whenever he touched her.

Touching her head softly had become a habit for Keith, which Cathryn really didn’t mind anymore. They were in such a relatively narrow space of the car that Keith needed to lean close enough to her to touch her head. The breath of the two haunted together, making Cathryn feel that something, which only belonged to mature men and women, was fermenting.

Then, Cathryn quickly withdrew her head, opened the door, and got out. She left Keith, whose hand was still in mid-air, in the car. With her back to the car, Cathryn patted her hot cheeks.

It was quite a while after when she finally turned her head back. Standing in front of the car window, she said to Keith, “I don’t want you to miss your flight, you’d better get to the airport. I also have to hurry home, or my grandma will worry about me.”

She had already been out for a while, and her grandmother would call her if she didn’t get in soon.

After hearing her words, Keith got out of the car and opened the door behind the driver’s seat. He took out a simple gift box, which was a cake of the brand that he often bought for Cathryn.

Cathryn trotted up to Keith and stared at the cake box.

She was unable to remove her eyes. “I came over here in such a hurry that I forgot I brought you a cake,” Keith said, handing the gift box to Cathryn. Cathryn took the cake without hesitation, but her expression of joy was mingled with worries.

Knowing what she was worried about, Keith felt somewhat funny and said to Cathryn, “You’re not fat. You don’t need to lose weight.”

“That’s just because you can’t see where my flesh is growing. It’s all getting bigger on my chest and butt, and l wear a lot of clothes in winter, so it’s not obvious to see.” Cathryn told Keith in detail about her situation.

Looking up and down at Cathryn, Keith patted her on the shoulder and said sincerely, “So, please eat more.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Cathryn didn’t understand what Keith meant, just doubtfully watched him get in the car. He started up the engine, and he smiled at her, then he drove away.
