Chapter 55: I Really Admire Your Honesty
It was apparent how much Keith liked Cathryn as Jeremy saw him almost every day. He knew how concerned Keith was about her. He just couldn't get over that they had been together for two months, and Keith had not slept with her yet.
Jeremy was a ladies' man and slept with different women every night. He never understood how people like Keith could be faithful or even find true love. Keith glanced at his best friend and said in an agitated tone, "She is pregnant with my child. Do you think I care if we have sex?"
"Oh, I see! It's a platonic relationship, then?" Jeremy mumbled and then joked with him.
"Eventually, the time will come, and you will want to have sex with her. Will you be able to restrain yourself when these emotions start to stir?"
Keith replied honestly, "No, I don't think so."
Jeremy laughed and said, "I really admire your honesty and frankness."

Keith drove back to Flower Island to pick up Cathryn. As John put Cathryn's suitcase into the trunk, the servants lined up in a row to see their host and hostess off. They smiled as they said goodbye to the servants. Cathryn turned her head and looked at Keith, "I think I have packed too much luggage."
Although she was going by herself and knowing the weather could be so unpredictable, she packed extra clothing. Her suitcase was totally full of luggage, and it had changed from the initial small size to medium size. Keith just smiled, "It's better for you to take too much than not have enough. It makes me feel better knowing you have all that you need in case it turns too cold."
As soon as they arrived at the airport, Keith parked the car and took out the suitcase. When they went through the door of the airport, it was filled with reporters and fans. With one hand carrying the suitcase, he used his other arm and wrapped it around Cathryn. The two of them made their way through the crowd to check-in for the flight.
"Here comes Jordan!" Someone screamed suddenly, and the fans immediately rushed over to him. The place that was crowded with fans instantly became empty, and they were all now surrounding Jordan. Keith looked at Cathryn to see if she had any reaction, but she just smiled.
Being surrounded by all the people, Jordan and Athena could not be seen. The only sound that was heard was the airport security personnel keeping things in order. Cathryn was carrying her suitcase and was about to board the plane.
She had only taken two steps forward and suddenly stopped. After a moment of hesitation, she looked back at Keith. He immediately thought there was something wrong and rushed over to her and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
She bit her lip to hold back her tears and raised her head to look up at him. She looked into his blue eyes, which were as deep as the sea, "Your eyes are so mesmerizing that I feel like I can't escape from your gaze." She blurted out.
She couldn't believe that she had said that and put her hand over her mouth. Her words touched Keith, and a slow smile worked its way across his face and into his eyes. She opened her arms and took the initiative to embrace Keith.
Their bodies clung to each other, and their breath intertwined. As Cathryn touched Keith, a familiar warmth flashed through her, easing the pain she felt in her heart. He could not see her expression but could sense the emotion in her words.
"Just now, the baby told me that he wouldn't see his daddy for a week. He wanted to give you a hug," she whispered. Cathryn used this as an excuse as she had wanted to give him a hug before she got on the plane, but she was too shy and didn't think she could do it. She buried her face in his arms from the embarrassment and began to laugh.
Cathryn's breath drilled into Keith's face, he lowered his head to her neck, breathing in her scent. He found that his love for her was growing strong. His eyes lit up, and he gently said, "Well, you tell the baby he can have a hug whenever he wants. Also, tell our baby that, if his mommy needs a hug too. I would be more than happy to give her one too."
He was keenly aware of her intentions, and Cathryn's face flushed with different emotions. It was a pleasing thing to be unconditionally wooed and protected by someone. She hoped she would not let him down because he had given her so much happiness.
Jordan caught sight of Cathryn and Keith hugging each other in the vast crowd. The words that Cathryn had said calling Keith her boyfriend suddenly echoed in his mind, then he didn't want to be interviewed anymore. He left directly and prepared to board the plane with a cold face.
Since Jordan was a famous actor, he was qualified to snub reporters in the entertainment circle. Athena tried her best to explain when he left and then hurriedly followed Jordan. By the time Cathryn was on the plane, Jordan had already caught up to her. She looked back at him and then sat in economy class. She was deliberately hiding from him.
She wasn't hiding from him because she liked him, but because she thought he was very annoying. Such thoughts made Jordan very upset. As soon as she got off the plane, she got on the bus ahead of Jordan and Athena. There were already some people on the bus. She was a little shy as she didn't know anyone, but she knew that they would eventually become familiar with one another over the next few days.
When Jordan got on the bus, everyone remained silent, and then several men and women huddled in their seats and talked in almost a whisper. Cathryn chose to sit in the front. She had carsickness, and now she also had morning sickness. So she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable and might get sick to her stomach.
