CEO’s Romantic Affair

She controlled for a moment and replied. “She doesn’t have to become a teacher, I’m just telling her to be licensed. She has to study. You can look at the Clarkson’s, and look at her. Let’s be honest, our kid is a no-match. She and this family are out of place, and the gap is enormous. She was just lucky to meet him.” Thinking of Keith, Victoria’s heart was sore again. She paused, “But still, in this world, you can still manage to keep your luck. I hope she can learn more, fulfill herself, instead of making the gap larger.”

Having said that, Victoria stopped again and finally added.

“One thing in this world you can’t live with is comfort. She could live a wonderful life herself. I don’t want her to settle now, not for this comfort.”

Spending the majority of her life as a teacher, Victoria had a deep understanding of education. It’s not about play or work or any scores and awards, but what one learns and how he/she develops. To her, a life with continuous learning and personal growth is what is worth living.

Clement didn’t speak for a long time.

After a long while, he turned to one side and held his wife in his arms.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He finally remarked, full of emotions, “While your face is always hard and strict, I know that in your heart, the softest spot is saved for her.”

Victoria’s eyes were red again. She was glad that her back was facing her husband. After taking time to calm herself, she pushed away his arms, “Get off.”

Clement smirked and let go of her with exaggerated obedience, “Yes, Ma’am!”

Two months was too short to prepare for the wedding, in Helen’s view. Her ideal wedding dress would take much longer to make, but it’s still manageable.

Densche pushed off all the work in these two months and dived into making Cathryn’s wedding dress. He had known Helen and Cathryn enough to finalize the design fast; he had hired artisans and outsourced some fabrics, and the production was completed one week before the wedding.

While Densche focused his attention on the wedding dress, Cathryn’s other dresses were done by the designers he recommended.

The wedding dress was covered with designed embroidery, from the skirt to the veil, and each stitch was done by hand. Among the embroidery were over a thousand pearls dotted along with the pattern.

It was early winter when the wedding date came. It was getting cold in the maritime climate, so in order to keep her warm, Keith and Helen had made sure that the wedding dress had long sleeves. The neckline was high to cover the chest and shoulders, leaving only a heart-shaped blank in the back covered with a thin layer of tulle.

Cathryn put on the gown with the help of two assistants in the shop. She looked at herself in the mirror, next to Helen’s exclamation “My God!” and Densche, who came after her change, his eyes filled with admiration.

Her ear was ringing, she could barely believe who that was in the mirror. She placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and her eyes watered.

Densche was really a master.

She was wearing no makeup, but it looked as if she was born wearing that exquisiteness.

After taking off the wedding dress, Cathryn went out with her mother-in-law and smiled at the tailor.

“Thank you,” Her eyes watered again. “I didn’t expect my first wedding dress would be so… unbelievable.”

Densche accepted the gratitude, and Helen added, “And also the last wedding dress.”

“Yeah.” Cathryn laughed and responded to Helen’s embrace. She turned her head and said genuinely, “Thank you, Helen.”

For Helen, Cathryn could never feel thankful enough. The most beautiful moments in her life were all created by Helen. Rather than having a daughter-in-law, Helen was more like giving her own daughter to wed.

The wedding dress was delicately wrapped, and Densche walked the two ladies out. The sun outside was just right, shining warmly all over them and on the car. Cathryn looked at Keith waiting in the driver’s seat, and her lips were hooked to a big smile.

Keith came with them as the driver today. He wanted to go in and have a look, but Helen said that the bride in her wedding dress should only be seen when they got married. Keith did not insist, so he took his time waiting in the car.

When they came out and got in the car again, he was happy to see that both of them were in a great mood, like the bright sunshine outside.

“So you like it?”

Starting the car, he asked his bride-to-be.

“Yes!”

The two looked at each other with a smile, his eyes blue as the sky and hers black as the night. They felt as if love was literally in the air, it was so thick that they could almost smell it.

Keith’s friends started to arrive, and Jeremy landed today.

****

After Keith returned to Germany, most businesses in their company had to be dealt with by Jeremy. But despite his flirting personality, he was always reliable in his work. He had promoted competent executives in the Stark Industries who were well organized, but his nightlife was never back to the way it was.

When Keith called, Jeremy had just finished an important meeting, again, without his best partner.

“Look who do we have here, huh? Or should I call you your Honor? What a great help for you to call me, sacrificing your time with your lovely wife and child!… No, it’s not alright! Have you had any idea how much pressure I’m under right now? I haven’t had sex for two months!” Jeremy shouted in the back of his car. “My endocrine is totally disordered, and I got acne explosion all over my face!”

“I can call you later,” Keith replied.

After a short silence, Jeremy suddenly burst into a slight laugh. He pulled his tie loose, unbuttoned a couple of buttons, and lowered his tone. “So you got the date of the wedding?”

“Yeah.” Keith replied, “And you are the best man.”

“Sure, I can do that, your best man.” He quickly repeated, “but make sure that Cathryn throws the bouquet to me.” He grinned evilly and bargained.
