Catherine''s POV


    "ke, we were destined to be together shortly after we were born, right?" I whispered to him.


    "You''re right." ke lifted my chin and kissed me. "Alright, let''s eat. I never get enough time with you. Time is only meaningful when I''m with you!"


    I smiled. I could never hear enough of ke''s words.


    His words were warmer than the sunlight.


    After dinner, ke suddenly pulled me into his arms. He pointed in a direction and said, "I had a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"


    "What is it?" I was curious.


    "Close your eyes!" ke checked the time, and then he stretched out his hands and covered my eyes.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    I closed my eyes. When I heard ke''s low voice, I opened my eyes. Then I saw fireworks set off from the top of a building not far from us.


    I watched the fireworks that bloomed in the sky. They were screaming beautiful.


    I excitedly looked at the man behind me and asked, "You did it for me?"


    "Yes!" ke said in a gentle tone. "Do you like it?"


    I turned to look at the beautiful fireworks. I said loudly, "I love it. It''s so beautiful!"


    A huge firework burst into the air and turned into a heart shape. I watched excitedly almost without blinking.


    The fireworkssted for more than ten minutes.


    ke said suddenly, a little shyly, "I didn''t know how to please you, so I asked someone to help me. I was worried that you wouldn''t like it!"


    I turned around and threw myself into his arms. I choked and said, "I like everything you do for me. I love you, ke!"


    ke gently wiped away my tears.


    "I love you, too, and I am so afraid of losing you. I''m d that we have a pair of smart and lovely children. Thanks to them, we won''t be strangers," ke said.


    "No! I don''t want us to be strangers!" I couldn''t help but hug him tightly.


    When ke saw me crying, he coaxed, "Alright, stop crying. If you continue to cry, there''s no guarantee what I will do. You know what? Your eyes look more attractive when you cry."


    I was amused by his words. I found it hard to cry anymore.


    "You won''t make it easy for me tonight? Well, I want to say the same thing to you." I pulled his hand and took him to the bedroom.


    ke''s palms were so warm. I felt the heat, and I was a little turned on. Tonight belonged to us.


    The sun rose again.


    Neither ke nor I wanted to get up. Wey on the bed, and I flipped through the photos on my phone. I secretly took many photos of ke, Noah, and Hedwig. ke looked so warm in the photos and it made me feel safe.


    "What are you looking at?" ke looked over. He saw the photos on my phone. He raised his eyebrows and said, "When did you take them? Howe I didn''t know?"


    "It wouldn''t be candid if you knew!" I saidcently. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    "Let''s take a selfie. I want to save the moment." ke tried to grab my phone.


    "No! We are in bed now. We''ll be doomed if others see the photo." I shook my head and refused him.


    Then, ke gave up.


    "Where do you want to go next?" ke stroked my back gently.


    "I want to go home!" I sighed and said, "There are so many ces that I want to go. However, when I saw Noah and Hedwig''s faces, I knew that no matter how far I went, my heart was still with them."


    "OK, let''s go back." ke agreed.


    "Then let''s get up and book tickets." I turned over and sat up.


    My good mood onlysted for a few days. Now, I had to worry about the future again.


    ke booked the tickets. I didn''t think it would work, so I suggested, "Why don''t you go back first? I''ll go back in a few days."


    ke pinched my chin with his hand and said, "Why? How can I rest assured that you are alone abroad?"


    "I won''t go anywhere. I will stay in the hotel for two more days. You have nothing to worry about. I promise," I said.


    "Do you worry that Patricia will find out and she will say things?" ke looked at me.


    I nodded. It was undeniable that he was right.


    "We are adults, and we must be responsible for what we do. Since we have agreed to not let Halsey and Abigail get a divorce, we should be rational. Patricia is getting old. Let''s not make her worry," I said as calmly as I could.


    "Do you only think of others?" ke suddenly pulled me into his arms. He hugged me tightly and rested his head on my shoulder. He gently bit my shoulder and said, "Maybe we should be a little selfish. I don''t want to care about other people''s feelings."


    "You can''t. Patricia means more to you than me!" My eyes were wet. I said, "I could have been selfish, but I don''t want to make things difficult for you. I could have ignored others, as long as I wanted to be with you. Patricia could do nothing for me. After all, we have Noah and Hedwig, right?"


    ke said nothing, and he buried his head in my shoulder.


    I looked up at him, and I reached back to hold him.


    "Do you think I care so much about other people''s opinions? That''s not true. I don''t care if Halsey and Abigail are married or not, as long as you have the courage to love me. I''m just worried that Patricia will be angry, and it might be too much for her. So, I guess we should be reasonable," I sighed and said what I feared.


    As long as ke loved me, I could ovee any difficulties.


    ke kissed me deeply. I knew he would understand.


    I knew ke was worried about Emerson and Patricia''s health. He loved them. He didn''t want them to be sad.


    ke''s kiss was wearing me off. I reached out and hooked my arm around his neck, responding to him more intensely.


    We kissed each other crazily until we couldn''t breathe.


    Only then did ke let go of me. He stroked my hair beside my ear and said, "Thank you, Cathy, for walking in my shoes and thinking about things for me."


    "Don''t say that, ke. I love you," I broke free from his embrace and said. "Alright. You should head back. I need some time to think."


    ke nodded and said, "OK. I will go back now. I will keep the room for you for a few more days. If you are unhappy, you can go out and take a walk. I''ll leave you a card so that you can buy whatever you want, as long as you''re happy."


    After he finished speaking, he took out a ck card. He put the card on the table and said, "Don''t save money for me. Spend as much as you can if you want me to feel better!"


    Iughed so hard that I couldn''t stand straight. I said, "Are you trying to bribe me? Well done, you did it!"


    "If I can win you over with money, I will work even harder to earn more money. This way, you can''t leave me," ke joked. He kissed my face and said, "I, Noah, and Hedwig will be waiting for you at home."


    "OK. Stay safe! Call me when you get home!" I was so reluctant to part with him.


    It was only when I was alone with him that we could love each other so recklessly. After our return, there would be an invisible barrier between us. We could see each other, but we could not hold each other.


    We must suppress the intense feelings in our hearts.
