CEO’s Romantic Affair

Athena, who only had a marriage of convenience with Jordan, was worse than Cathryn, who had married Jordan secretly. She loved the man in front of her, but just in front of the media would the two of them make physical contact with each other affectionately. All of it was playacting.

Therefore, Athena didn’t have pity on Cathryn. Instead, she was jealous of her. No matter what, the reason was that Jordan abused and hurt Cathryn in this way. She knew he would certainly not do anything to hurt Cathryn. However, Athena was aware of it, but Jordan wasn’t. He loved Cathryn, but he refused to admit it.

This was why Athena was so jealous of Cathryn and also the reason why she hated her. In the meantime, Jordan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, closed his eyes but didn’t fall asleep. There was nothing but darkness before his eyes, and he remembered that when he had been with Cathryn, she had just gotten home after Christmas and had a large suitcase. When she opened it, it was full of snacks that she had brought back with her from Jonathan City.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Cathryn had proudly told him that all of the food had been made by her father. He made them for her as a reminder of how much he loved her, and also, he knew how much she loved his cooking. Her eyes were full of pride, and at that time, she was very stunning and bright. That was the only time Jordan hadn’t gotten angry when Cathryn had mentioned her parents.

After his parents had died, Jordan was adopted by his uncle. His elders had mistreated him since he was a child. He never had a chance to taste any type of snacks that could have been seen anywhere in the streets.

After going through all the bitterness, Jordan climbed to the present position by tenacity and opportunity. However, when people were standing on pedestals, they were more likely to miss their past pains and sorrows. While eating the snacks that Cathryn brought home, Jordan had felt the warmth for the first time since his parents had died more than a decade ago.

Today, when he saw Cathryn pulling her suitcase forward, he immediately remembered the game that they had played as they ate their snacks together last year. Cathryn had wanted to kiss him, but she had been too shy. Then, she put a bite in her mouth, letting him eat it. Although it had been a childish and old-fashioned game, Jordan still immediately wanted to play the game.

Finally, the snack had been eaten up, and they had hugged and kissed each other.

He remembers her being so excited, responsive, and nervous. Both their hearts were pounding as they looked each other in the eyes. But now, he and Cathryn are divorced.

“Were the things in her suitcase the same as those she had carried last year? And would she play the same game with another man as she had played with him?” Jordan wondered.

He imagined Cathryn kissing the man he had met before, feeling as if a huge stone had hit his chest and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe. With his eyes slightly open behind his sunglasses, Jordan slightly turned his head to look at her. Her head was tilted as she was asleep, and the magazine covered her face.

Cathryn seemed to be happier after he left her. But how could he allow her to be happy? After the plane landed, Cathryn hurried to leave the cabin without a backward lane. She went to the baggage check-in to pick up her luggage first and then headed straight to the arrival hall gate.

The one-hour flight made Cathryn upset. She forced herself not to think about it, but Athena next to her always had to have an intimate interaction with Jordan. After she got off the plane, Jordan and Athena also followed her out. Cathryn walked right in front of them, pulling a large suitcase.

The news of Jordan and Athena returning to Douglas City today had already been circulated to the major media companies. Now outside, the arrival hall was full of fans and media reporters, so there was no possible way that Jordan could say anything to Cathryn. As soon as Jordan and Athena followed Cathryn out, the reporters who had been waiting outside immediately swarmed around the two of them.

Cathryn heard the screams of the fans and a series of questions from the reporters, she looked back subconsciously. Jordan and Athena were both trying to cover their faces and put sunglasses on to cover their eyes, only baring their foreheads. Cathryn wondered how the reporters could even recognize them.

“Had these reporters installed detectors in their phones?” Cathryn wondered. Noticing Cathryn’s gaze, Jordan reached out and held Athena in his arms. Athena was being interviewed and sensed that there was a hand around her waist. She instantly leaned against him.

The whole scene was really full of sweetness and happiness. Then, the shine in Cathryn’s eyes faded away, and in order not to abuse herself anymore, she wanted to get away as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, just as she had turned around, a big hand held her hand. The temperature of her palm reached the bottom of her heart through the back of her hand. She opened her eyes wide, and Cathryn looked back right away. It was Keith.

Keit was wearing a black coat with a suit and tie. There was a gentle smile in his blue eyes, and his handsome features made it difficult for people to move their eyes away from him.

He was so handsome that some of Jordan’s fans were also looking at him. Seeing Keith, Cathryn felt totally relaxed. She had been so sad and lonely, and her heart had been filled with such sadness. Now contentment filled her heart at the sight of him, and it was almost too much happiness to bear.

The thick black clouds entirely disappeared, and Cathryn’s mood became bright.

She opened her arms and smiled at Keith, then she asked him, “Do you want to give the baby a hug?”
