    Catherine''s POV


    "I know you didn''t. I''m saying that you are not allowed to look at him ever. Remember?" ke''s lips moved from my cheeks to my lips.


    I felt a surge of joy enveloping me. I nodded. "I promise. Whatever happens, I won''t even nce at him. I swear to the Moon Goddess!"


    My promise ced ke in a better mood. Yet I was confused. Why would ke be jealous of Nick? That didn''t make sense. Nick and I had never met before.


    I didn''t expect that ke would be this willful. I couldn''t help but chuckle.


    "What''s so funny?" He gently turned my body to him.


    I immediately stopped chuckling and said seriously, "Nothing. I just don''t think you need to be jealous of Nick."


    "It''s men''s stuff. You won''t get it. You are mine. I hate it when other men look at you. They are not allowed to look at you, not even a glimpse." ke kissed me vigorously as if iming that I only belonged to him.


    I was a bit speechless. Did ke have to be this overbearing?


    However, I didn''t find that annoying at all. Instead, the bossy ke made me feel warm and


    sweet.


    "I''m taking a shower now." I turned around and was about to leave.


    ke gently grabbed one of my wrists and said in a low voice, "Let me help you."


    "No need. I can manage it. I called Dr. Cooper today, and she said I could do it." The thought of him standing next to me and watching me bathing alone made me feel limply already. How was I supposed to take a bath in that way?


    "Really? If so, then I guess you''re up to other things as well, right?" ke''s eyes became deep. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a beast, while I was his prey.


    "Stop it. At least after my bath." I pushed him away. The desire on his face was so obvious. I couldn''t help but blush.


    Seeing my expression, he smiled with satisfaction.


    I entered the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I had almost recovered, and my wounds had healed. I could go to the hospital to get rid of the gauze tomorrow. Also, my head did not hurt so much anymore. I supposed that mild sex with ke was eptable. Thinking of that, I bit my lips.


    I took a quick shower and walked out, wearing a white nightdress.


    Yet ke was nowhere to be found. I was stunned. Where would he go at this time? Did he go to Noah and Hedwig?


    I frowned. I decided to go out and take a look.


    When I entered Noah and Hedwig''s toy room, I did not see ke. To my surprise, Nick was squatting aside, watching Noah assemble a toy ne.


    I lowered my head and nced at the night dress I was wearing. I did not want to see Nick in this way.


    Just as I was about to leave, Nick saw me.


    "Catherine, why are you here?" Nick smiled gently.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Though he still looked gentle and amiable, I instinctively got vignt when I spoke to him.


    Leaving directly would be inappropriate, so I said, "I''m here to ask Noah and Hedwig to go back to the room. It''s time for them to take a shower.


    "Noah, Hedwig, pack up the toys. Time to bathe and go to bed," I said in a low voice.


    The kids were very sweet and put the toys away. Then they stood up and were about to go back with me.


    Nick smiled and praised, "Noah is so smart. He can assemble a toy ne in such a short time. I wasn''t that smart when I was his age."


    "Of course. Noah is the best in our school!" Hedwig smiled proudly.


    Nick''s expression stiffened. Although it onlysted a second, I still noticed it.


    "And Hedwig is so lovely. She gets her pretty eyes from you. She is the prettiest kid I have ever seen!" Nick looked at Hedwig, but he was talking to me.


    I didn''t want to be in the same room with him, so I said, "Sorry, it''s gettingte. They have sses tomorrow. Noah, Hedwig, say goodnight to Nick!"


    Noah and Hedwig immediately waved at Nick and left with me.


    When I took Noah and Hedwig to the bedroom, I saw ke walking over from the balcony with his phone.


    I was stunned for a second. It seemed that ke had gone to the balcony to answer the


    phone.


    "Daddy!" Hedwig immediately rushed towards ke.


    ke picked Hedwig up lovingly.


    I had to give Noah and Hedwig a bath, while ke wanted to talk to Nick.


    The corridor wasn''t the right ce for me to talk to ke, so I had to take the kids back to the bedroom first.


    By the time ke returned to the bedroom, Noah and Hedwig were already asleep in their beds in their room.


    I gently walked out of their room, and then I saw ke standing outside the door, waiting


    for me.


    I didn''t know what he talked to Nick about. Nick always made me feel wary, and I didn''t want ke to have anything to do with him.


    "We should go to bed as well," ke whispered in my ear.


    His voice interrupted my thoughts.


    "It''s time for us to rest, too," he said in a low and suggestive voice, making me shy.


    After we went back to the bedroom, ke went into the bathroom for a shower. He walked out wearing a gray robe. The strap of the robe was deliberately loosened, revealing his solid chest.


    I was lying on the bed ying on my phone when I suddenly saw ke walking towards me.


    I couldn''t help but be dumbfounded. He was seducing me by wearing his robe like that, which turned me on. I couldn''t help but swallow hard.


    "Stop being glued to your phone." ke came over, took the phone from my hand, put it on the bedside table, and stared at me with his deep eyes.


    I pursed my lips. The next second, he ced his hands on both sides of my shoulders and kissed my lips.


    The scent of vani on ke sessfully attracted me. I was enveloped by the scent. His tongue pried open my teeth, and my brain ceased to function. I was intoxicated, and I couldn''t help but raise my head, asking for more. I followed his lips, unable to break free.


    I was so grateful to the Moon Goddess. Even my soul was trembling for ke. Suddenly, ke released me. He was gasping for air, his muscles tight as rocks. I put my arms around his neck, feeling his warm breath on my skin. I wanted to be closer to him.


    ke held my shoulders and didn''t let me get close. I knew he was trying to suppress his


    desire.


    Looking at his reddish face and tight muscles, I couldn''t help butugh out loud.


    I ruined the romantic mood in the blink of an eye.


    "I''ll turn off the lights now!" ke red at me.


    I knew very well that I had recovered already, and the wound on my head wasn''t exactly a


    deal-breaker. It wouldn''t affect anything.


    "Alright." I turned my face to the side. The thought in my mind made me shy.


    ke reached out and pinched my chin. His hand was so hot that I felt burnt.


    "What are you doing?" I suddenly blushed. I wanted to get under the quilt, but he stopped


    me.


    "Your eyes are so beautiful," ke praised me. His voice was low, and he whispered sweet


    nothings in my ear.


    My body stiffened. I could do nothing but stare at him. Everything of mine, including my body and my soul, belonged to ke. I had a feeling that I was born to love him.


    ke kissed me again.
