Chapter 30: I’d Better Keep A Low Profile
Cathryn had gone to her room to pack right after she was done talking to her mother. However, when she opened the door, she almost fainted from shock.
The closets were filled up. All the clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories were customized and bought according to Cathryn’s dressing style. Although every piece of clothing looked ordinary, they were all customized by high-end brand names. The inconspicuous logo was hidden in the corner of the clothes.
Cathryn became excited again because of the topic of her clothing. Her eyes were sparkling with joy. She continued to eat the cake with the spoon while the corners of her mouth were stained with cake crumbs.
Then Cathryn slowly took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth while Keith just looked at her. His eyes were as mysterious and elegant as the deep sea. He looked at Cathryn tenderly with a faint smile. It was evident that the woman who was sitting in front of him was making him develop a strong feeling of attraction towards her. It almost seemed as though he was falling in love with her.
“You need to rest as much as you did before tomorrow. I’ll ask John to prepare a plane for you.” Keith said. Keith’s words were like a bomb. It was as though they hit Cathryn in the throat, and she started to cough uncontrollably.
“No, I can’t,” tears were filling her eyes because of the coughing. Cathryn refused quickly, “I think I’d better keep a low profile.”
Keith stood up and softly patted her on the back with his warm palm. It made Cathryn’s face turn red.
“Then I’ll ask John to book a ticket for you, and I’ll drive you to the airport tomorrow,” said Keith.
“Well… okay,” Cathryn said with a sigh of relief.
The next day, after the two of them, had breakfast. Keith drove Cathryn to the airport. The airport was in the Southern District of Douglas City, close to Flower Island. As the car slowly drove into the airport, the atmosphere among the two of them became increasingly silent.
After parking the car, Keith took the luggage out of the car. There was still some time left before she had to catch her flight, so they went to the airport lounge.
As soon as they sat in the lounge, Keith took out something and handed it to Cathryn. It was a milky white sports bracelet.
Taking it from his hand, Cathryn looked down at it for a while. She was trying to figure out what it was and didn’t want to embarrass herself by asking. She looked up at Keith questioningly.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I have read some information about being pregnant, and there is a lot of food that you should avoid eating during pregnancy. I’m afraid that you might forget, so I made a sensor for you. I put all the information into this system, meaning the bracelet, of course. It will automatically send out an alert of the foods that you can’t eat. If the food is within eight inches of the wristband, it will vibrate to remind you.” Keith explained to her.
Blinking, Cathryn put the wristband on her right wrist. She couldn’t believe what he had just given her. “Where did you get it?” she asked.
“I made it myself,” Keith replied with a smile.
Looking at Keith with admiration, Cathryn could not help screaming, “Wow!”
Keith took Cathryn’s wrist and then gently took her left hand. He put it on a tiny little button that was on the outside of the wristband and went on, “if you have any problems, you can press this place, and I’ll get there as soon as possible.”
Cathryn felt a square button under her finger, which was difficult to be pressed without force. Then she pushed it hard, and something immediately rang on Keith’s wrist. Cathryn looked down at his cuff and saw a wristband that looked just like hers, but it was bigger.
“Are these two wristbands a pair?” Cathryn blurted out with surprise. After saying that, Cathryn blushed at once. The two of them were holding each other’s hand now, and Keith’s palm was so hot. The warmth of his skin felt like fire on Cathryn’s wrist.
Cathryn hastily withdrew her wrist and stroked the wristband to hide her embarrassment. Fortunately, she was saved by the boarding prompt. She hurried to stand up and said, “That’s my cue, it’s time to go.”
Then she headed to the boarding gate with her suitcase as quickly as she could. However, just as she was about to take a step forward, Keith grabbed her wrist again. She was wrapped by a familiar warmth, Cathryn’s heart suddenly stopped beating.
Time seemed to stand still as the movements of the two of them were slowed down. It was as though they were frozen. Cathryn felt her body being pulled back slowly and gently. Then her body leaned against a warm and sturdy chest. Long and powerful arms were tightly wrapped around her.
It took Cathryn half a minute to come to her senses and realize that Keith was hugging her. After realizing what had just happened, her heart began to beat again and more violently.
With the sound of an irregular heartbeat filling her ears, Cathryn’s body had already lost its senses. She felt as though her soul was being consumed. It was embraced, mixed, and filled by another soul. Their souls became one.
Through the flesh, the thoughts of the two of them were merged, and an unspeakable emotion was spreading in the depths of her soul. Cathryn controlled her body and embraced the other body that wrapped around her soul like two candles that finally melted together.
Cathryn could smell her own breath, feeling nothing but ease and pleasure. Her arms were not long enough to encircle Keith’s body. She could only feel the muscles on his arms, which were as hard as iron.
It reminded her of the first time they met, and it was precisely this hardness that broke through her grief and made her remember only the real joy.
