Chapter 4


    "I..." Kevin moved his thin lips but said nothing. His eyes showed a hint of iprehensible depth


    beneath the golden sses. He stared at Karen''s back and thought for a few seconds, then he


    turned and walked to the study room.


    In the past three years, Karen had rented a room for herself and lived alone. She was very good at


    making some home-cooked dishes. Soon, two dishes and soup were served on the table.-


    "Kevin, it''s time to eat." Karen knocked on the door of the study room carefully and gently pushed


    the door open when she did not hear a reply.


    Kevin was making a phone call in the study. He said, "Take care of these things. You don''t have to


    report everything to me."


    After that, he hung up the phone immediately. The moment he looked up, he met Karen''s eyes and


    asked coldly, "What''s the matter?"


    "Time to eat," Karen smiled and did not dare to look at him.


    "I''ll be there in a second." His tone was indifferent as usual.


    The two of them sat opposite each other, eating their meal tensely. Neither of them spoke to break


    the silence. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to be extremely boring.


    Karen moved her lips several times to find some topics to talk about, but she swallowed back her


    words after seeing Kevin''s indifferent expression.


    After dinner, Kevin offered to wash dishes for her, and Karen did not refuse. Since he was willing to


    share the burden of these chores with her, she was happy to let him do so.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    It could be seen from Kevin''s clumsiness that he had never done these things before.


    But it was true. It was impossible for the boss of such a bigpany to do such trivial things such


    as washing dishes.


    nk—


    Hearing the crack of a porcin bowl in the kitchen, Karen stood up immediately and walked over.


    What she saw was Kevin holding a bowl in his hand and staring nkly at the broken porcin


    pieces on the ground.


    "Let me do it." Karen walked over and wanted to take the bowl from Kevin''s hand.


    "No, I''ll do it." Kevin stretched out his hand, and his tone did not change.


    "Kevin, actually..." Karen looked at Kevin''s firm eyes and could not say anything. She nodded and


    left the kitchen to let him continue.


    Although they were legally a couple, Kevin was still a man that Karen was not familiar with.


    She wanted to know him more, to know everything about him. She was trying her best to be a good


    wife.


    However, with a personality like his, could she really get close to him like how she had nned


    when they had gotten married?


    Karen sat down in the living room, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, she randomly put


    on a news channel.


    While watching the TV, she asionally turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen.


    Through the ss door, she saw Kevin carefully cleaning bowls and cutlery.


    She secretly sighed in her heart. How could a man look so good while washing dishes?


    Perhaps Karen''s gaze was too obvious, Kevin looked back as well. Their eyes met, and Karen saw


    the slight coldness in Kevin''s eyes. But he then let out an impably polite smile.


    Karen''s face turned slightly red as she was caught looking at him, and she returned a polite smile.


    Karen turned her eyes back to the TV screen, thinking about Kevin.


    This man was so confident at work and even looked so good while washing dishes. When would


    she ever see him make a fool of himself?


    After tidying up the kitchen, Kevin returned to the hall and saw that Karen was in a daze. He stared


    at her delicate face and said after a few seconds, "Karen."


    "Ah..." Karen said as she listened to his soothing voice. She found it very pleasant. For a moment,


    she felt her face burning hot.


    Kevin sat down on the sofa beside her. "I have something to discuss with you."


    "Okay," Karen replied. She also wanted to have a good talk with him and take this opportunity to


    make things clear.


    Kevin''s deep gaze swept up and down her, and then he slowly said, "Karen, today at the


    company..."


    "We''ll have separate work and personal life. I understand that. In fact, I don''t want to let people


    gossip behind our backs because of our personal rtionship." Kevin had not finished yet, but


    Karen interrupted him.


    She had worked hard in thispany for three years to have her achievements today. She wanted


    to continue climbing up the corporatedder on her own. She didn''t want anything to change


    because of Kevin.


    His face was calm, but his eyes shed an imperceptibly beneath his sses. "I didn''t mean to hide


    my identity. I did not know how you would feel about me when I saw you during the event, so I did


    not announce anything to the public, but I didn''t mean to hide it on purpose."


    "I know," Karen nodded and said, "My work life and personal life are always separate. I don''t want to


    bring my personal life to work."


    It was their own business that she and Kevin had gotten married. Karen felt that there was no need


    to announce it to the people in thepany.


    On the one hand, she did not want her job to be affected. On the other hand, she was not sure how


    far she could go with Kevin.


    Looking at Karen''s firmness, Kevin paused and said, "Did you tell your family about our marriage?"


    Karen shook her head. She did not want to talk about her family.


    "I have just taken over Innovative Tech, and I have some things to deal with in person. If you don''t


    mind, after all, pressing matters have been attended to, I would like to go with you to visit my father-


    inw and mother-inw," He said calmly as if he had expected Karen to have mentioned this


    matter to her family.


    "No." Karen refused immediately, but then felt that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly exined,


    "I have had some issues with my family. I haven''t contacted them for a long time. Let''s talk about it


    later."


    Family?


    Every time she thought of this word, Karen felt a dull pain in her heart. It made her a little


    breathless.


    Three years ago, that home was no longer her home, and she could never go back.


    "Karen." Kevin called her name in a deep voice and said, "You are no longer alone. You have me."


    Kevin''s tone was dull, but because of his pleasant voice, it carried a different feeling.


    This sentence was obviously not romantic, but it made Karen''s heart full of inexplicable feelings.


    Although she gritted her teeth and had gradually ovee the pain over the years, she would still


    feel sad and silently shed tears while thinking of it somete nights.


    "Karen." After a long silence, Kevin spoke again, "We are already husband and wife. I sincerely


    want to spend the rest of my life with you."


    Kevin suddenly said this, and Karen was stunned again. Looking up at him and into his sincere


    eyes, she also said, "I am determined to live with you for the rest of my life."


    Kevin stared at her beautiful face, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Karen, can you promise not


    to break up with me no matter what happens?"


    "Yes!" Karen nodded heavily. "I will try my best to be a good wife."


    She had also thought that they should not break up so easily. And now, Kevin had said so. This


    made her feel at ease.


    After chatting with Kevin, she felt much more at ease.


    Kevin went back to the study. Karen then cleaned up the room and went to the bathroom to take a


    bath. After her bath, she sat in front of the dressing table and blew her hair dry. Just when her hair


    had dried, Kevin came in.


    He also took a shower and put on a white bathrobe, revealing a small piece of supple, smooth skin


    on his chest. His hair was still dripping with water, which followed the lines of his body and


    disappearing into the white bathrobe.


    Karen''s face suddenly blushed.


    "You must be tired. Go to sleep early." Kevin suddenly said. His voice was low and maic, which


    made Karen''s heartbeat inexplicably.


    Kevin did not intend to leave. Did he mean to sleep in the same room tonight?
