CEO’s Romantic Affair

After entering the house, Keith discretely looked Cathryn’s home up and down. Her home was very cozy. There were three rooms and one hall. The number of rooms was just right though the space was not very big. The living room was fully furnished and was piled up with some handmade items. There were two teacup mats on the table, each with a green teacup on each mat, which seemed to be a pair of a couple’s carpet. Carefully looking around at other places, Keith found that there were no traces of two people living together except the teacups.

Then he fixed his eyes on Cathryn again. “What are you going to do about the child? Are you going to have an abortion?” Seeing that she ate in a hurry, Keith poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. Hearing his words, Cathryn was choked by the water and began to cough violently.

Keith was sitting on the sofa next to Cathryn, but he still stretched out his hand to gently pat Cathryn on the back without hesitation. He was trying to help her to relieve her cough.

“No,” Cathryn’s red and swollen eyes were filled with blood again because of her cough. Her eyes were now full of firmness, “I won’t have an abortion.” After she finished saying that, she began to cough again. Gently patting Cathryn on the back, Keith was so satisfied with her answer that his suspended heart finally let go.

Though he was considerate of any decision that Cathryn might make, he still hoped that she would give birth to their child.

“Well,” Keith forced himself to calm down and replied, “I don’t recommend abortion either. Anyway, I have an unavoidable responsibility for your pregnancy. Therefore, it is my duty as a father to the child to let him not suffer any grievances.”

In the entertainment circle, Cathryn had seen a lot of unknown actresses, who got pregnant and wanted to marry into wealthy families, but unfortunately, some of them got no luck from their children’s fathers, they had to choose abortion in the end.

Cathryn was in shock. She couldn’t believe that Keith took the initiative to ask to take responsibility for her and her child. In the entertainment world, she had never seen this happen. She wondered, who was Keith?

“During your pregnancy, I will stay with you and take care of you until the baby is born. After you have the baby, there are two choices, and you can pick any one of them. Whatever you choose, I will respect your decision.” Keith said slowly and patiently.

He saw Cathryn staring at him with her big eyes, and he could not help himself. He reached over to rub her hair. “In the first case, after the child is born, if you want to raise the child alone, I will provide enough alimony and compensation for you until the child is old enough. If you don’t want to raise the child, I will bring up the child, and I will arrange regular meetings between you and the child according to what you want. I promise not to let the child lack the love of either side of both parents.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“This is my child. I will raise the child by myself.” Cathryn had always been very firm about the problems of other children’s custody battles. No matter how hard the future may be, the child will be raised by her. “What about the second choice?” Realizing that she was too excited just now, Cathryn bit her lower lip lightly and asked in a low voice.

Her cheeks were slightly red, even her earlobes were somewhat flushed because of all the excitement. She lowered her head and looked at the floor shyly.

She was so beautiful and charming, Keith thought.

“In the second case….” Keith paused, and it wasn’t until Cathryn looked up at his eyes that he smiled and went on, “We can get married and bring up the child together.”

After making sure that she did not mishear, Cathryn was too shocked to say a word.

Cathryn instantly stood up from the sofa in horror. “Get married. He must be crazy. Why would he say something like that?” She thought to herself. Cathryn could not hide her feelings from Keith. She was terrified and shocked.

Keith knew that his words frightened her. He was very discouraged, and he immediately concealed his disappointed look. He gave Cathryn a reassuring smile and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, it’s just the second choice, and whatever decision you make, I will respect your wishes.”

Of course, Cathryn was scared by his words. She had just come out of a marriage that was unsuccessful. The thoughts of getting married again made her cringe. Her divorce was an isolating and traumatic experience. After her divorce, she had no choice but to learn how to take care of herself and be okay with being alone. She even went on a few dates, even though she was still in love with Jordan. She did not want to get married once again so recklessly.

No one can see through another person’s heart, and no one can know what the future will hold. We have to make our own destiny. She was trying to keep her perspective and remember what was important, but Cathryn’s mind was racing from one thought to another. She felt so alone. So many promises have been broken. First, there was Jordan, who she truly believed was in love with her, only to find out he lied to her. In return, all he wanted was to be in control and to control her.

Then there was Keith, a man she barely even knew. Yet somehow, she felt safe when he was around. He has repeatedly shown that he cares, understands, and is devoted to making Cathryn happy. She didn’t know what to do. She had so much to think about.

Cathryn’s mind was blank. She looked at Keith and saw his amazing smile, and then she could feel her heart gradually relax. Cathryn sat down on the sofa, and Keith took out a tissue and handed it to her. “There is the cream on the corner of your mouth,” he reminded Cathryn.

Cathryn quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and then held the tissue in her hand tightly. Looking at Keith with her bright eyes, she said, “Let me think about it for a few days, and I will call you when I have made a decision.”
