?Chapter 274


    Catherine''s POV


    "Aren''t you on a business trip? When are you going to do your work?" "I whispered.


    "You are my work. Didn''t I just work hard enough?" ke said teasingly.


    I raised my head to look at him. "Aren''t you afraid that Patricia will find out?"


    "I am, of course, but I kept it under wraps. I don''t think she''ll know," ke saidcently.


    "So, are we sneaking out now?" I smiled.


    ke turned over and pressed me down. "Yes. So, let''s not waste time!"


    He kissed me so passionately that I could hardly breathe. I kept calling out his name.


    By the time I woke up, ke had alreadye out of the bathroom, and then he got dressed.


    "Get up. Let''s go out!"


    "Where to?" I didn''t want to get up yet.


    "Anywhere, as long as you are with me!" ke looked at me.


    "Alright." I got up unwillingly and ran into the bathroom carrying my clothes.


    We walked on the street hand in hand, and I felt rxed.


    Suddenly, I spotted someone taking photos of us, so I pulled ke and ran.


    "What''s wrong?" ke asked me curiously. "Why are we running?"


    "I just saw someone taking photos of us with their phones. I don''t want your secrecy to go to waste," I said helplessly.


    "Wait for a second!" ke turned around, walked into a supermarket, and bought two facial masks. "Put it on, so no one will recognize us."


    I was touched and hugged him tightly. "ke, I love you. I love you so much!"


    "What''s gotten into you? Why are you suddenly getting emotional?" He lowered his head, and his tone was gentle.


    "Nothing. I think that you have to put up with a lot just to be with me," I said, touching his face.


    "I don''t have to put up with anything. I am the Lycan King!" ke said in a domineeringN?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    manner.


    Iughed.


    "Let''s go. We don''t get to hang out holding hands like this often. It feels great!" I took his hand.


    I felt very content when ke was by my side.


    We passed a flower shop. There was a bunch of blue roses in front of the shop, which was so beautiful that it caught many people''s eyes.


    I liked them too. I knew these roses were rare, so I couldn''t help looking at them.


    The next second, ke had already walked into the shop, and soon he came out holding a bouquet of roses.


    The red ones were as warm as fire, the pink ones were lovely, and the blue ones were mysterious.


    "It''s for you. I''ll get you anything you like." ke stuffed the roses into my arms.


    I looked down, smelled the roses, and grinned. "Thank you! They''re so beautiful!"


    "Indeed. They are as beautiful as you!" ke whispered.


    We kept walking.


    "Let''s go diving! There is a famous diving spot here," ke pulled me and said.


    "But I''ve never dived!" I was a little worried.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll teach you!" ke smiled gently.


    "Alright, let''s go then!" I was excited about it.


    ke and I came to the diving ce. He rented a luxurious yacht, and it came with two experienced diving coaches.


    The yacht moved quickly on the clear sea, and the scenery around was beautiful.


    "What are you looking at?" ke walked to my side.


    His strong body pressed against mine, and I felt my body begin to heat up.


    "I was watching the fish swimming by."


    "You will see more when we diveter." keughed.


    He kissed my earlobe. I whispered, "ke, I love you!"


    He kissed me more after hearing this. I was worried that he would carry me back to the room and throw me in bed again.


    Finally, we reached the diving site, and the yacht docked.


    ke helped me put on the diving suit, and the coaches jumped into the water first. They would follow behind me and ke for our safety.


    ke exined the rules of diving in detail, and I listened very carefully since we could only rely on hand gestures tomunicate underwater.


    After I went into the water, the scene got more stunning.


    Fishes of different kinds swam in groups, and I was surrounded by a variety of sea creatures


    with distinct colors.


    ke had been holding me tight and showing me this strange and beautiful world.


    I felt excited and yet also rxed.


    I turned to look at ke. Though I could not see his face or eyes, I felt indescribably happy


    since he had taken my hand in his.


    Every ten minutes or so, ke would bring me to the surface to rest.


    Night soon fell. Iy on the yacht with ke and looked at the stars.


    "Cathy, I want to run away with you like this. I don''t want to go back." ke joked.


    "I would havee with you if we didn''t have children. But we both know that''s not going


    to happen now," I smiled self-mockingly.


    ke and I went back to the hotel. Unexpectedly, we ran into Halsey and Abigail.


    ke instantly pulled a long face.


    I was surprised. How did they find their way here?


    "ke..." Abigail whispered.


    ke didn''t say anything. He turned his head away, refusing to look at Abigail.


    Abigail sighed. She said to ke, "May I speak to you privately?"


    I tugged ke''s sleeve.


    Then, ke turned around and walked out the door.


    Abigail looked at me gratefully, and then she followed ke out the door.


    "Why are you here?" I looked at Halsey.


    Halsey smiled and said, "You ran out this morning, and I was worried. I found out you were


    staying at this hotel, so we came."


    I felt a little guilty. I was so impulsive today that I ran away without leaving my address.


    The lobby was quiet, and for a moment, I didn''t know what to say to Halsey.


    "Cathy. Abigail and I have decided to divorce," Halsey broke the silence and said seriously.


    "What?" I was stunned.


    Meanwhile, ke walked into the lobby. I was somewhat worried since he did not look


    happy.


    "Cathy, I''m going up," ke said to me.


    He walked to the elevator.


    I didn''t think the conversation he had with Abigail was a pleasant one.


    "I''m going up as well. You''ve been with Abigail for over a decade, and you love each other. I


    don''t want you to get divorced because of us," I said to Halsey.


    I didn''t know how to face Halsey and only wanted to escape.


    I leaned weakly against the elevator and gawked at the lights above my head.


    Halsey''s words echoed in my head.


    "Cathy. Abigail and I have decided to divorce."


    Halsey and I had just met, but he was willing to sacrifice his marriage for my happiness.


    Halsey cared for me; I could feel it.


    It was not supposed to be like that. I bit my lower lip.
