Chapter 127: Mutual Affection Was So Amazing
Keith was concerned that Cathryn would have a heat stroke, so he was ready to go home. Cathryn calmed herself down and wiped her tears away. “You can stay here tonight.” She suggested.
Considering that Cathryn would miss her parents, Keith agreed. The two went upstairs in tandem. Cathryn was in front of Keith. When Cathryn was about to step out, Keith pulled her hand.
The two of them crossed their fingers, fitting their palms together. The sweaty feeling made them feel even closer to each other.
Cathryn had never been as happy as she was today.
It turned out that the feeling of mutual affection was so amazing.
It made her feel that nothing was important, as long as the person behind held her hand, which made her feel full of power and warmth.
When they were going up step by step, Victoria was home to accompany Cathryn. Victoria was back and found that Cathryn was not there. She was so concerned until she saw such a scene: Cathryn, who had obviously cried, was holding the hand of the man behind her and was walking upstairs with a delighted expression on her face.
Pausing her steps, Victoria tried to calm herself down. The two looked up at her, too.
Cathryn had been forcing her smile after she came to her parents’ place. Her faking skills deceived everyone but her mother. Victoria could feel that Cathryn had something in her mind, though she wouldn’t tell her because she might be concerned. It was also possible to be related to Jordan. Cathryn wouldn’t let this trouble her mom’s mind and make her guilty.
Watching that the two were so intimate and came to her together, she felt assured.
“You’re back, Mom.” Cathryn’s eyes were brightened and were somehow a bit shy. She blushed and took back her hand.
“Yes, your dad is also coming back soon. He went to buy some desserts. We can share them later.”
When the family talk was done, Victoria nodded at Keith and smiled, which was kind of a greeting. She turned and went upstairs.
In a short while, Clement, who received a message from Victoria, asked a colleague to help take over his job and rushed to buy some desserts before he returned home.
In the living room, Victoria sat on the sofa. Next to her were Keith and Cathryn, sitting side by side. In front of the senior couple, neither of them was going to be too close to the other. But they could feel their pulse, so they put their hands behind and carefully held each other. They looked at each other from time to time with a sweet and naughty look.
Victoria saw the intimacy between the two and felt slightly released. She looked up at Keith.
“Mr. Clarkson, I was only told that you’re a friend of Cathryn. What do you do, though?” She asked.
“Mom, now he’s my boyfriend.” Cathryn corrected Victoria and smiled.
Getting a confirmed answer, Victoria frowned. “Have your desserts!” was her response to her daughter.
Being ordered by her mother, Cathryn smirked. She reached out for a glass of water and was about to drink, though she was stopped by Keith. He took it back and handed her over another glass of water. “It’s too cold. Drink this.”
“I run a company myself,” Keith answered Victoria’s question. “I should have visited you a long time ago, but I had been engaged in the business of the company. Hope you won’t mind.” He apologized.
As an educated person, Clement appreciated Keith’s courtesy. “You’re still young. We can understand when work comes first at your age.” He waved his hands and said.
“As for visiting, we don’t mind much. You can come and visit anytime. As long as you love each other and be nice to each other, we’re happy for you.” Victoria added.
It seemed that the senior couple was quite satisfied with their future son-in-law.
Keith nodded and smiled at them.
“Thank you, Mr. Riley and Mrs. Riley. I love Cathryn, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Since Cathryn preferred to sleep at her parents’ place, Keith also stayed. Cathryn’s bed was only five feet in width and five feet and seven inches in length. The two slept together. The width was just okay. And the length was just okay, too.
Cathryn felt that their relationship improved so fast – establishing a relationship, seeing parents, and sleeping together all in a row, without a break.
But considering that they had slept together even before they established the relationship, everything seemed justified.
Keith took a shower and put on a gown that Victoria gave him. It was Clement’s gown, but he had never worn it before. The height difference between the two was big. So the gown looked so small and tight on Keith.
Keith politely thanked Victoria before he closed the door and immediately started kissing Cathryn.
Unlike the intimate young couple in the bedroom next door, Victoria and Clement were sleepless. The two looked up at the ceiling. Considering that his little girl was going to get married, Clement had mixed feelings.
But when he took a second thought, he found Keith a perfect choice as his son-in-law. This young man has a good character, a rich family, a decent job, and most importantly, is nice to Cathryn. When he thought about these, he became more assured and relieved.
“Can you believe it? Cathryn just introduced her boyfriend to us for the very first time. Hey, our little girl is going to get married!” He said.
Victoria replied with a yes. “She’s twenty-five, not a little girl anymore,” sighed Victoria.
Hearing this sigh, Clement smiled and turned to hug his wife. “Well, you also have mixed feelings, aren’t you?”
Victoria, who had always been proud, didn’t push Clement away this time. But she didn’t turn around, keeping her back to him. Tears dropped from her eyes, fell into the pillow, and disappeared.
She did have mixed feelings. As for Jordan, whether it was her fault or not, she was the one for whom Jordan would retaliate against Cathryn. Now that Cathryn could be so happy, she felt relieved.
