Chapter 240
Catherine''s POV
I took a few sips of the hot drink. It tasted good.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and ke came in. He looked at me with a smile on his face and
walked toward me.
I stood up, and in the next second, he pulled me into his arms.
His smell was so familiar, and it made me want to stay in his arms. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the
moment quietly.
"You never came to visit me here," keined as if he felt hurt because of this.
I couldn''t help butugh out loud and didn''t know what to say.
"I know you are busy and I don''t want to disturb you!" Iforted him. If there was anything that I
needed to discuss with him, I could always leave it till night when he got back home.
"I don''t care. You simply don''t care about me that much!" keined.
"Of course, I care about you. That''s why I married you."
ke took a step back and looked down at me. "You are so independent. I used to think that women
should be like this. But now, I just hope that you can be less independent. I hope you cane to me
and be needier. I want you to surprise me. How''s that?"
I was stunned. I didn''t expect that ke would say such words. I realized that he was right, and I
wasn''t active enough in our rtionship. So, I lowered my head and whispered, "Sorry. Did I give you
the cold shoulder?"
"Yes!" ke said frankly. "You''ve been giving me the cold shoulder all the time, Catherine. You know
what? I''m afraid of being alone, and I want you and the kids to be with me all the time!"
He seemed sad. I wondered howe he was suddenly so sensitive and emotional. I pursed my lips
and smiled, "Of course, the kids and I will always be with you. Unless you don''t want us anymore!"
"How could I not want you? How silly!" ke reached out and messed up my hair. "Let''s go eat now!"
I arranged my hair with my fingers andined, "I am not your daughter. Don''t stroke my head like
that, OK?"
"Bite me!" After he finished speaking, he pinched my cheek.
I entered the room next door. There were nice dishes and wine on the table.
"Did you prepare these?" I was surprised that there was a dining room next to his office. I could see the
blue sky from the window and the view was great.
"Yes. I prepared these for you." ke pulled the chair for me, and I sat down in a daze.
ke sat across from me. He poured half a ss of wine for me. "You like wine, don''t you?"
I was a little embarrassed and took the ss from him. "You don''t mind, right?"
"No. It''s good. You''ll be more rxed after drinking," ke showed an evil smile.
I looked at the exquisite dishes and they looked yummy. I was a bit hungry at first. But after what ke
had said, I felt something other than hunger.
ke sat elegantly opposite me. I couldn''t believe that I was already addicted to him, though it had
been just a few months.
"What are you thinking now? Why do you keep peeping at me?" ke smiled and asked curiously.
I froze for a second before shaking my head. "No. I wasn''t."
"I''m good-looking, right?" ke said.
I was amused by his words. "Stop being a narcissist."
ke smiled, and it was a self-mocking smile. He said, "I''m worried that I''m not your type."
"But you are! You are my mate," I replied. As soon as I blurted it out, I regretted it. ke was so
scheming. He was trying to make me say that.
ke seemed happy. He said, "I am your type. You like me. Why didn''t you tell me earlier?"
I was having a hard time going on with this conversation. He kept making traps, and I walked right into
them without realizing them at all. Damn!
ke continued, "Patricia asked mest time if you had a drinking habit."
"What did you say?" Since it was Patricia''s question, I became serious immediately.
ke smiled and said, "I put in a good word for you, of course."
I heaved a sigh of relief. I suddenly thought of something and said lightly, "Emily was also there when
Patricia took me to the banquet yesterday!"
"I know. Patricia likes being apanied by her when going out." ke didn''t find it strange.

"Emily was targeting me!" I said.
"Then fight back. You can be tougher than her. And in Patricia''s eyes, you have the kids backing you
up. You don''t have to be afraid of Emily!" ke suggested.
Iughed out loud. "So, you''re not going to help me, are you? I''ll have to rely on myself from now on,
right?"
"It depends. If it''s a war between women, I think you should learn to deal with it yourself!" ke replied
seriously.
His words made sense. I said, "You''re right. I was nning to solve it myself anyway. Patricia is so nice
to me. Yesterday at the party, she defended me in all ways possible. I am very grateful."
"I''m d to hear that. That''s how Patricia is. She always looks out for her people," said ke.
We finished a bottle during the meal, and I drank more than ke. The atmosphere was so good, and
somehow, I drank a bit too much.
After the meal, ke took me to his lounge to rest.
I leaned on the sofazily. Suddenly, I felt a tall body press down on me. In the next second, ke
started kissing me.
I had been waiting for him to kiss me, and I was surprised that he was more eager than me.
"Catherine..."
"Yes?"
"Say you love me." ke was wandering around my neck.
"No!" I tried to upset him deliberately.
"No?" ke kissed harder on my neck.
"Stop it!" I said to him with a smile. I felt powerless, for I was a little drunk, intoxicated with the feelings
ke had made me feel.
The two of us had already been all over each other on the sofa at some point.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed!
I was so tired that I almost fainted. When I opened my eyes, I saw ke standing up and walking to the
bathroom.
I closed my eyes and took a nap. By the time I woke up, ke had already been sitting next to me in a
suit. He said, "Go back to sleep. Don''t go to work this afternoon. Have some rest here."
"No. I need to go back to work." I sat up and pushed him. "Just leave. I''ll be out in a minute."
He touched my face. "Alright. It''s up to you."
