Chapter 23: Do I Have To Eat It?
They had dinner on the main floor, where there was an oval, long dining table, beautifully designed and set for two. Catherine, the maid, set the table for them. Lifting the lid and seeing a bowl of vegetable soup that was placed in it, Cathryn was very disappointed, she sighed and asked, "Do I have to eat it?"
Keith nodded and said, "Although you have been discharged from the hospital, you still need to be careful about your diet. I will let the kitchen know when to cook a delicious meal for you. Hopefully, in a few days."
Then he gracefully lifted the lid, and there was a bowl of vegetable soup placed in his too.
"I will accompany you." Keith continued to say. Seeing Keith considerately thinking about her feelings and accompanying her to eat vegetable soup for dinner, Cathryn lifted her bowl with gratitude and said, "Cheers!" she said. "Got rid of the troubles of the past and welcomed into a wonderful new life!" Cathryn muttered to herself.
As they were about to eat, Keith's cell phone suddenly rang. As soon as he answered, Cathryn could immediately overhear Jeremy's angry voice on the phone. While Cathryn was in the hospital, Keith still had been working very hard, but today Cathryn was discharged from the hospital, and, of course, the sudden moving from her home, so he didn't have any time to work at all. He was so busy and completely forgot to call Jeremy, so it's no wonder why he is so angry.
"I'll deal with it as soon as possible tomorrow," Keith replied calmly. After venting his anger, Jeremy hung up the phone. Keith put down his cell phone and continued to eat without being affected at all.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Cathryn quickly finished her vegetable soup and asked Keith, "What exactly is your job?"
Keith had said that he was a programmer, but could a programmer afford to buy an island and hire a steward and servants? Therefore, his family had money, power, and fame.
What about his family? Was his father serious? Would his mother force her to have an abortion? Or if she finally gave birth to the child, would they rob her of the child? Cathryn thought. She had no idea what his family was like and if they would accept her. The more Cathryn thought about it, the more nervous she was. She stared at Keith's face, remaining motionless.
"My job is to code, I code computer programs. There are vital steps to programming, such as solving engineering problems, program design, architecture, etc. " Keith replied in a low voice, looking at Cathryn. His eyes captured her attention. They were darker and more intense.
"Huh?" Cathryn, who had just come back to reality, was confused by his words. Keith didn't know how to explain his job to Cathryn, but if there were a chance in the future, he would have to take her on a tour of his company and introduce the identity of the president's wife to the staff.
At the thought of this, Keith could not help but laugh. "No matter what my job is, I can say with a clear conscience that all this, I got it from working very hard," Keith said to Cathryn.
"Well." Cathryn nodded and then looked down at the table. She told Keith about the things between her and Jordan and what was in her heart. She spontaneously drew the relationship between them closer. However, Keith's reply did not seem to be as she thought.
Everyone was entitled to their privacy, so Cathryn no longer asked Keith about his job, just frowning tightly. Looking at Cathryn, Keith could not help but stretch out his hand to stick his finger on her forehead. Then, gently rubbing Cathryn's eyebrows, Keith smiled and said, "What else do you want to ask?"
Looking at Keith, who was as gentle as usual, Cathryn asked, "Do your parents live with you? Do they know the existence of the child?"
"My parents live in Germany, and I live alone here. They don't know that you are pregnant yet. It is just temporary. When you want them to know, I will tell them." Keith paused for a while and then said, "they will probably come to see you when they hear of the news..."
"Well...I think you had better not tell them the news for the moment." Cathryn said, imagining the scene when his parents first set their eyes on her. They would be staring at her belly, she could not help but tremble.
"Take it easy." Keith, who seemed to know what Cathryn was worried about, said firmly, "I will never rob our baby away. The baby is yours forever."
Hearing Keith's words, a warm current poured into her heart, melting her worries away. She looked up at Keith with trust filling her eyes and said, "I didn't expect those brutal parents-in-law in TV dramas are deceptive."
"Did you say, parents-in-law?" Keith asked, looking at Cathryn with a smile. After being aware of what she had said, Cathryn's face blushed, and even her earlobes started to turn red. She bowed her head, pretending not to hear.
Keith was a civilized and polite man, so his parents could definitely not be rude or unreasonable people. Therefore, what did she have to worry about? Nothing will happen at all. Cathryn thought.
Then Cathryn smiled in relief, while Keith, who heard Cathryn calling his parents her parents-in-law, deepened the smile in his eyes. After dinner, the maid came and cleared the table. Then Keith took Cathryn to visit the recreation room.
Next to the fireplace, there was a bookshelf against the wall. On the bookshelf, the books were aligned all in alphabetical order and arranged in neat rows. Beneath the bookshelf, there was a very comfortable desk and chair. However, outside the glass door next to the bookshelf was another door. Cathryn had never noticed this before.
She opened the door and entered the room. Cathryn was shocked by the modern kitchen equipment and a row of refrigerators. Each one was marked. Dessert, cooked food, raw food, vegetables, beverages ...there was everything.
When Cathryn looked at all the refrigerators, her line of sight was quickly blocked by Keith. Cathryn knew she could not eat anything else after dinner and pouted in protest. She then followed Keith back to her bedroom.
"I have arranged for John to take you on a tour of the whole island tomorrow. I have to go to work tomorrow, and you can call me anytime if you have any problems," Keith said to Cathryn.
