Chapter 131 Escape
Seeing Katniss stop in her tracks, I couldn't help but regret inwardly. I found myself strange, why did I ask such a question? As Katniss stopped and turned her head to stare at me with a constantly changing expression and a cold face, I suddenly felt that Katniss looked very terrifying at that moment. Perhaps out of guilt or fear of Katniss' current demeanor, I couldn't help but lower my head to avoid her gaze.
But as soon as I lowered my head, Katniss used her hand to lift up my chin, just like a woman teasing a man. "If one day you dare to leave me, I will kill you first, and then I will kill myself." Katniss stared at me with icy eyes, her voice sounding like a voice from hell, echoing in my ears. At that moment, Katniss seemed like a messenger from hell, her once sacred halo now disappeared.
If I were to leave her one day, would she want us to die together? I had thought of countless answers Katniss might give, but I never expected her to respond like this. What did this response mean? Did it mean that she wanted us to be together even in death? This response made me break out in a cold sweat, realizing how strong and terrifying Katniss could be, a side of her I had not noticed before. I believe I must have looked completely dumbfounded at that moment, but unfortunately, I had no mirror to see my own expression.
Seeing me shocked, Katniss couldn't help but burst into laughter. She laughed heartily by the bathtub, her body shaking with laughter, her breasts involuntarily creating waves. But at that moment, I was not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful sight; I was confused by Katniss' emotional changes. Which one was the real Katniss after all?
"Honey, scared you, didn't I? You deserve it. Don't bring up this question again in the future; I don't like discussing this topic." Katniss stopped laughing, speaking to me with a hint of coquettishness, before continuing to bathe me. It turned out she was just joking and punishing me, but she really did scare me half to death.
"If I were to answer that question, first of all, I would never leave my husband. Even if we were to part ways one day, it would definitely be because you didn't want me, not because I didn't want you. I can guarantee that as your wife." Katniss looked at me, still dazed, perhaps sensing my urgent need for an answer. She stopped bathing me, looking at me gently as she spoke.
"If one day you no longer want me, abandon me, then I will do everything possible to make amends. I will change whatever you want me to change until you are satisfied. For my husband, I am willing to do things I would never want to do. If you are determined to not want me at that time, and I am powerless to win you back, then I will choose to end my life in our home, even if it means dying, I want to die in a place that belongs to both of us."
As she finished speaking, tears welled up in Katniss' eyes. Perhaps she suddenly realized her mistakes and the possible consequences if I were to find out the truth. Katniss couldn't help but start crying, but as she uttered the last sentence, her tear-filled eyes held a hint of determination. Seeing that expression on Katniss' face, I knew her words were not empty promises.
"I'm sorry, honey, I shouldn't have brought up this topic. I trust your feelings for me." Feeling a bit guilty, I instinctively pulled Katniss into my arms, gently patting her back.
"Honey, can I ask you a question too?" After crying for a while, Katniss suddenly lifted her tear-streaked face, looking up at me.
"Go ahead." I gently lowered my head to look at Katniss' cheek, lightly stroking her hair with my hand.
"If one day, I mean if, if I ever do something to hurt you in the future, would you forgive me?" Katniss suddenly lowered her head, softly asking me.
It seemed she was referring to her and Nathan's situation, but by adding the word "if," the meaning changed completely.
"What do you mean by something to hurt me?" I pretended to be clueless, still good at acting. Why didn't I apply to film school back then?
"For example, physical infidelity." Katniss hesitated for a long time before saying this, then lowered her head even further.
"If one day you physically cheat, but your heart remains faithful, and it's for my own good, with no other choice and a moment of impulse, and when I find out you are willing to completely give it up, meeting these two conditions, I will forgive you." After much thought, I lifted Katniss' face, speaking with a firm tone. The conditions I mentioned were actually already met by Katniss, but I didn't want to admit that I knew about her and Nathan, so I had to express my views hypothetically.
"Thank you, honey." Katniss buried her head in my chest again, my words unintentionally reassuring her completely, easing her worries. My words made her feel at ease. My answers and conditions, whether suitable for other men, I'm not sure, but as a man who truly loves her, I believe anyone would forgive her.
After bathing, Katniss and I embraced each other, with no gap between us, falling asleep naked in each other's arms. That night was different from before; both Katniss and I slept soundly.
Facing what needs to be faced, the next morning, Nathan finally stopped avoiding and got up early to make breakfast for Katniss and me, perhaps as a way to make it up to me. When he first saw me, his gaze didn't waver, but I could still sense a subtle panic in him.
After breakfast, a busy day began, and by the afternoon, there were still two and a half hours before work ended, with one more hour before Katniss finished. After Katniss finished work, she would be alone with Nathan for two hours, at least until I got home. Would Katniss talk to Nathan about something? After all, Katniss wrote in her diary about cutting off the ambiguous relationship with Nathan while ensuring not to hurt him. I was curious about what methods Katniss planned to use.
While I was contemplating, I suddenly received a call from Katniss. In the call, Katniss informed me that starting today, she had taken on an extra part-time job as a teaching assistant in the clothing cutting program at the Fashion Design School in Nightfall City, teaching two classes a day. With the commute added in, she would be arriving home about half an hour later than me from now on. I couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Why did Katniss suddenly take on a part-time job? Katniss was at the level of a senior clothing engineer, and I had no doubt about her abilities. Even if being a teaching assistant didn't pay much, why would she waste that time?
During the call, I raised my questions. According to Katniss' response, she wanted to earn extra money to lighten the burden on our family. After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but start thinking. Katniss wasn't doing this to earn extra money; she was doing it to avoid Nathan. Since starting this part-time job, she would be arriving home half an hour later than me every day, meaning she would no longer have time alone with Nathan, except when I was away on business. Katniss was indirectly avoiding Nathan, and I believed that finding this part-time job was not something she decided on a whim; perhaps she had been preparing for it for a while. She was fulfilling the promise she made in her diary, and perhaps taking on this part-time job was just her first step.
After reading Katniss' diary, I decided not to push Katniss and Nathan's situation anymore, letting them develop naturally. Originally, I thought Katniss was just acting on impulse, but now it seemed like there was a real possibility of them ending things. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but hesitate. Was it really what I hoped for them to end their relationship? Why was there always conflicting thoughts in my mind? Stop thinking about it. Overthinking only brings trouble to oneself. Love will be what it will be. Besides, ending things between them wouldn't be so easy. Who could guarantee that there wouldn't be uncontrollable accidents in the future?
In the evening, I returned home first. Nathan had already prepared dinner, waiting for Katniss and me to come home. After arriving home, I first told Nathan about Katniss working as a teaching assistant at the Fashion Design School. Upon hearing this news, Nathan's initial reaction was confusion, followed by disappointment, and finally, concern. I observed these three changes in Nathan's expression, and in the end, we decided to wait for Katniss to have dinner together.
After waiting for about half an hour, Katniss finally returned. At the dinner table, Katniss seemed very excited, sharing about the glamour of the Fashion Design School and her experience teaching the college students, as if she had returned to her student days. Seeing Katniss so excited, I felt that her decision to work as a teaching assistant at the Fashion Design School might be a good choice, allowing her to feel more fulfilled and fulfill her own desires.
During this time, Katniss and I maintained a frequency of intimacy twice a week. I must say, without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs, I could no longer reach the level of vigor from that night. However, the comforting part was that Katniss always tenderly served me, engaging in various activities like roaming, breast play, and oral sex. Katniss played with me in different ways, never showing any signs of fatigue, allowing me to experience gentleness to the fullest.
During this time, I researched a lot online and watched a lot of adult videos. I learned about seduction techniques for men, and each time I made love with Katniss, I made sure to engage in foreplay with her. One night, we made love twice, once at night and once in the morning. At least one of those times ensured that Katniss reached climax, although not very intense.
The only regret was that I never managed to make Katniss reach squirting, even on the night when I took performance-enhancing drugs. However, when Katniss and Nathan made love, as long as Nathan was willing, he could easily make Katniss squirt. I suppose this had to do with penis size and endurance. These advantages were something I could never surpass Nathan in this lifetime. I couldn't just transplant a larger penis onto myself, could I?
Another half month passed, and Nathan had fully recovered. All the hospital paperwork and procedures were completed, and it was time to discuss reimbursement and compensation with the insurance company and Zephyr Energy Solutions Company where Nathan worked. Dealing with the insurance company was relatively straightforward, following the terms and conditions in the contract. The trouble came with Zephyr Energy Solutions Company because they had already issued a danger notice to Nathan, but he hadn't left, so the company was reluctant to take responsibility. Negotiations with Zephyr Energy Solutions Company gradually reached a deadlock.
In the end, I decided to take legal action against Zephyr Energy Solutions Company. Just as I was preparing the lawsuit, the company informed me that their headquarters would send a senior leader to negotiate with me. They didn't want to end up in a lawsuit, regardless of the outcome. It was said that the senior leader sent by their headquarters was the regional manager here.
On that day, I received a notification that the regional manager of Zephyr Energy Solutions Company had arrived. I hurried to Zephyr Energy Solutions Company for the negotiation. When I arrived at the manager's office and pushed open the door, both the regional manager and I were stunned.
"Sunshine Boy."
"Fatty."
The regional manager of Zephyr Energy Solutions Company immediately stood up and walked out from behind the boss's desk, and we embraced each other, calling each other by the nicknames we had in college when we shared a dorm room.
