CEO’s Romantic Affair

He was extremely concerned about the well-being of Cathryn and the baby. Unexpectedly, just as he had opened the door, while Cathryn was sitting in the passenger seat, she suddenly screamed and was pulled out of the car. Frowning slightly, he walked over to her in a hurry and grabbed hold of Cathryn, and noticed that Jordan was pulling her.

Cathryn suddenly felt dizzy since she had only eaten very little for dinner. She stumbled and fell into Jordan’s arms. He was taken aback and hurried to take Cathryn in his arms. His tone changed immediately from being angry to tender, and he asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Since their divorce, Jordan had always maintained a cruel and overbearing attitude, and he would speak to Cathryn with either a cold or cynic tone. He suddenly became so gentle, which was consistent with Jordan’s buried memories of Cathryn, making Cathryn feel as if she were in a dream, and then without thinking, she held Jordan in return. She remained silent, making Jordan more worried. Then, Jordan shouted at Keith, “What’s wrong with her?”

Instead of answering Jordan, Keith held Cathryn’s hand, he squatted down and asked her while she was leaning against Jordan, “What’s wrong with you, Cathryn? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

With her mind in a trance, she felt as if stars were twinkling in the darkness before her eyes. She finally came out of her trance when she heard Keith’s voice, she squinted and followed the sound of his voice. She turned her head slowly and looked up at Keith and then loosened her grip on Jordan’s hand and took Keith’s.

“No, really, I am fine,” All kinds of thoughts were racing through her mind, she looked up and glanced at Jordan. Thinking carefully because she didn’t want to have any more involvement with him. Keith held her hand tightly, and with the coldness of her hands, they gradually started to get warm again, Cathryn said to Keith, “Let’s go.”

She was still weak, and Keith bent down and asked softly, “Do you need me to carry you to the car?”

Jordan was standing next to her, and Cathryn’s mind was still flashing with memories of the days that she was with Jordan, so she shook her head and said, “I’m okay, I can walk by myself.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

The two of them kept talking to one another, as if Jordan was not there, “What’s wrong with you?” Jordan asked again. He felt as if there were a knife piercing his heart, and he clenched his hands into a fist. But when he saw Cathryn’s pale face, he tried his best to control his anger. He was concerned about her, and the worried expression on his face could not be hidden. Jordan frowned as Keith was holding onto Cathryn’s hand.

“Mr. Riggs and I are divorced, so even if I do get the part, we will only be colleagues. My boyfriend is here, so please behave yourself, Mr. Riggs,” Cathryn said in a gentle tone as she looked at Jordan. While speaking, she reached over with her other hand to pull Jordan’s hand from hers.

After that, Cathryn and Keith went over to the car, their shadows blended together under the lighting of incandescent lamps as they approached the vehicle. Keith started the engine, and both Cathryn and Keith looked straight ahead. Soon, the car drove out of Jordan’s line of sight. It was early spring, and the bitter chill poured in from all directions of the underground garage, instantly surrounding Jordan.

He stood very still for a moment, thinking about what Cathryn had just said, memories of their past came rushing through his mind as he recalled the scene when she introduced him to her best friend, Grace.

He remembered how her face looked at that exact moment, her face was flushed, and there was a twinkle in her eye. At that time, he was only starting to feel for her and felt her shyness was both appealing and attractive.

The sweetest things that frequently came up in his memory were surprisingly those he used to regard as the most unsavory, annoying things. Jordan was not surprised when Cathryn admitted that Keith was her boyfriend. However, seeing her find happiness, his heart was full of pain rather than the frustration of failing to take revenge on her.

He felt as if his heart had been put into a juicer, stirred to pieces, leaving only the blood foam floating over it and the crushed meat settling at the bottom. Yet, even though his heart was divided into such small parts, his pain was not divided. He still felt so painful that he could hardly repress his tears.

When Cathryn couldn’t see Jordan anymore in the rearview mirror, it felt like the tip of a needle had pricked her eyes. She moved her eyelashes slightly. The tears welled up in her eyes, falling on the back of her hands drop by drop. Keith glanced at her and saw that she was upset. He drove slowly, looking for a place to park, and pulled over to the side of the road.

Cathryn’s grievances broke out with the physical distress and the mental torture that she had gone through. Regardless of Keith sitting beside her, she burst into tears. Although her sobs were mixed with sniffles, it was evident from her plaintive cries that she was sad and miserable.

Keith didn’t expect that she would cry even harder as soon as the car stopped. His heart ached for her, and he also felt somewhat flurried at the same time. Passing a tissue to her, he didn’t say a word. He held her and never imagined anything could feel so right; despite her crying, he knew they were destined to be together.

After crying for a long time, it left her feeling exhausted. Then she turned her head and looked at Keith with red, swollen eyes, “I’m… I’m just angry.”

She sniffed and wiped her eyes, “Jordan…. is such a big jerk! It was him who took the initiative to divorce me and…. then he proposed to Athena, but just now… he showed genuine concern for me… Am I… Do I mean nothing in his heart? Does he… think I will forget how he has hurt me? For some reason, he treats me better now?”
