CEO’s Romantic Affair

“There are two bedrooms in your house, aren’t there? You could fix one of the bedrooms that you don’t use and possibly let him live in it.” Looking at the computer screen, Grace was still weighing and considering the options of the content of the agreement.

“But…” Before Cathryn could get the words out of her mouth, Grace stopped typing on the keyboard, looked back at Cathryn, and said, “Do you really think that he would hurt you or your child?”

Cathryn was stunned at what she heard from Grace’s mouth.

Grace was always a good judge of character in distinguishing a person’s manner. Grace thought Keith seemed to be a very trustworthy and reliable man. He was very articulate and organized. Definitely, his standard of living and his social status was high. Grace thought that this would absolutely benefit Cathryn.

Furthermore, in Grace’s presence, he made a request to live with Cathryn. He was such a vigilant person that he would not let Grace know if he wanted to pose a threat to the safety of Cathryn’s life.

Cathryn was just an ordinary woman. So there must be a specific reason why Keith had a fondness for Cathryn. There was no need to analyze it anymore. The rest was insignificant as long as there was an assurance that Cathryn would not get hurt.

After Grace told Cathryn what she thought, Cathryn gradually calmed down. Her childhood experience had made Grace more vigilant and extremely cautious, more so than the average person.

“You behaved very unpleasantly in front of him, you acted like a child. So it’s normal that he may not believe that you can protect the child. Besides, he can provide for you when he lives here. I will connect the video surveillance to my phone and computer, and if anything out of the ordinary happens, I will call the police immediately,” said Grace.

“Well, maybe you are right,” Cathryn nodded and agreed. If anyone knows her best, it is her best friend, Grace.

Turning back to look at the computer screen, Grace continued to type. “You’d better not tell your parents about it right away,” said Grace.

The mentioning of her parents gave Cathryn a sense of guilt and sadness. She had so much to tell her parents. First, there was Jordan, a secret marriage, and now this pregnant from a one-night stand. What would her parents think? She decided that she would tell her parents when the timing was right for the sake of her child.

Cathryn’s mother had a bad temper, and if her mother were to find out about the pregnancy, then she would immediately show up on her doorstep. She would insist on taking Cathryn to the hospital for an abortion. Cathryn knew that her mother would only mean well, but this was not something that Cathryn wanted to endure right now.

After going through one disastrous marriage, she may never want to get married again. At least with Keith’s financial support, she could live with her child and maybe have a wonderful life. Therefore, there would be the right timing, she decided not to tell her parents about it until after the child was born.

Cathryn sat on the sofa in a daze. Her thick eyelashes projected a fan-shaped silhouette on her face under the light, making Cathryn look beautiful but sad.

“Fortunately, you didn’t tell your parents that you got married to Jordan. Otherwise, I don’t know how you would have dealt with this.”

Glancing at Cathryn and hugging Cathryn in her arms, Grace comforted her. Cathryn looked back at Grace with regret in her eyes and said, “I should have asked Keith to bring a green tea cake. The chocolate is too greasy, and it may make me sick.”

Grace was stunned by Cathryn’s words, and they soon started to laugh.

“I will always be here for you, Cathryn, no matter what,” Grace reassured her.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

After the agreement was drafted, Cathryn called Keith to ask him to send someone over to put in the video surveillance cameras. When talking about installing the video cameras, Grace made sure to supervise Cathryn to avoid any mistakes in the process. On the day of the installation, Keith didn’t come over as he had several works.

The workers that came to Cathryn’s house wore ‘C&F’ uniforms. Grace smiled and said to Cathryn, “Keith is very wealthy because ‘C&F’ is a famous brand of monitoring equipment belonging to The Stark Industries. It is the world’s highest quality, and of course, the price of it is costly.”

As soon as the installation was complete, the two workers left immediately. Cathryn ordered take-out for herself and Grace and asked Keith to come over after work.

Cathryn had been waiting at the door patiently. As soon as Keith rang the doorbell, she opened the door at once. She immediately took the cake from Keith’s hand and completely forgot about how chocolate would be greasy. She opened the box and began to cut the cake.

Smiling tenderly and looking at Cathryn, Keith glanced around to see the video surveillance system. It was connected to Cathryn’s computer and Grace’s phone. The quality of the video was clear, and he felt satisfied with that.

Grace had handed the agreement to him. After taking it from Grace’s hand, Keith looked carefully at the conditions listed in the agreement and began to read it in a low voice one by one, “First, during Miss Cathryn Riley’s pregnancy, Mr. Keith Clarkson shall provide all the funds needed for her pregnancy. He will take the responsibility as a father to accompany Miss Riley to all the necessary examinations during pregnancy. Second, both sides shall live together during the pregnancy, but to ensure Miss Riley’s privacy, Mr. Clarkson shall not enter Miss Riley’s bedroom to disturb her private life without Miss Riley’s permission. After the birth of the child, Mr. Clarkson moves out of Miss Riley’s house immediately. Third, both sides agree that Miss Riley shall gain the child’s sole custody, and Mr. Clarkson shall provide the monthly alimony (at least ten thousand dollars a month) required by Miss Riley. Miss Riley can increase the maintenance fee as the economic level increases and the currency exchange rate changes. Fourth, Mr. Clarkson has the right to visit the child with Miss Riley’s consent, and Mr. Clarkson can’t interfere in Miss Riley’s life. Fifth, Miss Riley can change the content of the agreement at will, such as the request for marriage required by Mr. Clarkson, but Mr. Clarkson shall obey all the necessary requests by Miss Riley. During Miss Riley’s pregnancy, Mr. Clarkson can’t fall in love with others.”
