Chapter 34


    Given what was urring, Karen was stressed and knew that stressing would not help the


    situation. She chose simply not to think about Charlie and what he would do, and focus on her daily


    life.


    Coming out of the pet food store, Kevin asked Karen, "Where do you want to go now?"


    Karen knew that Kevin was very busy, but she also wanted to be pampered and behave like a spoilt


    wife in front of her husband.


    She took Kevin''s arm and shook it. "I want to do some duty-free shopping. Would you like to


    apany me?"


    Kevin did not say whether he was willing or not. He just opened the door and said, "Get in the car


    then."


    Karen thought that her guise might not have worked, but she saw that Kevin had set the destination


    on the navigation system as a duty-free shopping mall.


    Kevin didn''t make time to go shopping in the past. Whatever clothes he wore were all custom made


    by the Kyle family''s private designer and atelier.


    Even if it was the material for a piece of underwear, it would be carefully selected and sent to his


    wardrobe after a delicate manufacturing process.


    Hence, when they saw that Kevin was going shopping with Karen, Nick and Amelia, who had been


    following them, were so surprised that their eyeballs almost popped out.


    Nick was to calm down and said, "Amelia, the international video conference wasing to a


    critical moment. When Director Kevin heard that Karen had been called away by Charlie, he


    immediately abandoned the group of high-ranking officials from Europe and ran over to the coffee


    shop. Now he is apanying her to buy dog food and go shopping. Do you think this is what our


    Director, Kevin, who does not rest all year round, would do?"


    Amelia murmured, "This is not what our fast-paced director would do. But he has been busy for so


    many years. Now, there is someone who can make hime out asionally to take a walk."


    Nick looked over and said, "Amelia, do you know why Director Kevin had suddenly decided to marry


    Karen?"


    Amelia shook her head and said, "I don''t know what Director Kevin was thinking."


    Kevin had always been very thoughtful. If he was willing to let them understand more, they would


    understand him. If he didn''t want them to understand anything, then they wouldn''t see anything.


    Amelia and all the others could not figure out why he and Karen had gotten married.


    Nick said, "When Director Kevin decided to marry Karen, you were with him. I think you should


    know."


    Amelia said innocently, "He sent me to do other things when he decided to do this. When I came


    back, they had already registered for marriage and began living together."


    Nick thought for a moment and said, "Do you think we should inform Old Master Kyle regarding this


    issue first? Old Master Kyle is too old to be surprised this way. What if..."


    Amelia looked at Nick and said very seriously, "Director Kevin has his own ns for this matter. It''s


    not something for you to worry about. You and I have been by his side for so many years. I don''t


    need to remind you of his bottom line."


    Nick also knew that he shouldn''t care too much, so he shut up and stopped talking about letting the


    old master of the Kyle Family know in advance. He looked at Karen standing before them and said,


    "From my observation during this period of time, Karen is indeed a great girl. However, Director


    Kevin has met more outstanding people before, and he didn''t want to marry those women. How did


    he choose to marry Karen?"


    Amelia said faintly, "I''m guessing, it may be out of pity."


    Three years ago, when Kevin had first met Karen, it was during her most humiliating moment.


    Karen was drunk and had even vomited all over him.


    He thought that there would be no more interaction between them for the rest of his life, but he


    didn''t expect that he would see Karen on the very first day he returned to California three years


    later.


    At that time, Amelia did not recognize Karen. It was difficult to recall someone whom she had only


    met once three years ago. However, Kevin, who had never remembered people well, recognized


    Karen at a nce.


    On that day, they had made an appointment with the previous head of Innovative Tech to discuss


    the acquisition of thepany, and then happened to stumble upon Karen on a blind date.


    The man on the blind date looked very ordinary, and his behavior was crude. As he spoke to her, he


    wanted to touch Karen inappropriately. Karen was a hot-tempered person, so she lifted her hand


    and gave the man a p.


    Then, the man retorted with some ugly remarks. He called her a prostitute that was trying to build a


    reputation for herself. He even brought up all the terrible things that had happened to her in New


    York three years ago.


    Nick said disapprovingly, "There are so many women worthy of pity in the world. Why haven''t I seen


    Director Kevin pity other women?"


    Amelia said, "Perhaps this is the fate we are talking about."


    Nick thought for a moment and asked, "Wouldn''t you say, Director Kevin''s ability to recognize


    people is below average. Three years ago, they had met once. But how could he recognize her


    again in three years?"


    Amelia said, "Director Kevin is a man of cleanliness, and he was vomited by a drunkard. Don''t you


    think he would remember?"


    When it came to Kevin being vomited on, Nick gloated.


    Karen had thrown up on Kevin when she was drunk. It must have been the most tragic thing to


    happen in Kevin''s 20 odd years of life.


    Nick and Amelia, following behind Kevin and Karen, kept chatting along the way, but Karen and


    Kevin, who were walking in front, did not say a word.


    Kevin had returned to his usual state. He looked so aloof that no one could get close to him. It was


    just his normal self, he didn''t talk much at ordinary times.


    Along the way, he did speak to Karen. When she asked a question, he answered a question, and


    Karen could not find any more topics to talk about after asking too many questions.


    Kevin did not speak much, but he did not let go of Karen''s hand. He held hers firmly all the way and


    led her to walk slowly.


    Karen was not a person who liked to hang around, and she didn''t have much time to hang around.


    Usually, if she needed to buy something, she would go straight to the shop and buy it.


    She didn''t want to buy anything today, so she wandered around aimlessly.


    After strolling around for a while, they came to a branded scarf shop, which was a brand that Karen


    wanted to purchase it but was hesitant to do so.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The least expensive scarf from the shop was also priced at several hundred dors, and the new


    arrivals worth thousands of dors apiece made the scarfs an absolute luxury.


    Kevin had given Karen a pair of new gloves a few days ago. Karen was worried about what she


    would buy for him in return, so this was a good opportunity.


    It would be winter soon, so a scarf was very practical. If she bought a scarf of this price for him, he


    would be happy.


    She held Kevin''s hand and said, "Let''s go in and have a look."


    Kevin nodded.


    "Wee..." before the sales assistant could finish her greeting, she was stunned and stammered,


    "Director Kevin."


    It turned out that thedy was Madonna, who had been fired from Innovative Tech not long ago.


    After the loss of her job, she had chosen to be a sales assistant.


    "Do you know me?" Kevin nced over. He did not remember such a woman at all.


    The excitement on the sales assistant''s suddenly dimmed, especially when she saw Karen and


    Kevin sping their fingers together so intimately. This made her furious.
