Chapter 311
Everything seems to have returned to normal life, and life has finally regained its calmness. Nathan rarely comes back from the small island. Even if he does, he just comes back for dinner, stays at home for one night, and leaves early in the morning. He has never come back when I'm not at home, as if he is avoiding something. I have checked the surveillance footage at home several times, but I haven't found any abnormalities. The only abnormality is that every time Nathan comes back to stay, both Katniss and Nathan have trouble sleeping. However, as time passes, the frequency of their insomnia decreases, and the duration also shortens. But they have never crossed the line, so I gradually let go of my worries.
To be honest, at the beginning, I was still worried. Initially, I might check the surveillance every day, but later it became every two days, every three days, every five days, every week, and now I basically don't check the surveillance anymore. The surveillance at home seems to have lost its purpose. Is it time to secretly remove the surveillance at home when the time is right? I suddenly had this idea.
Katniss seems to have truly recovered from her sex addiction. Although there are a few nights when she would sneak off to the bathroom while I'm asleep to masturbate with that 8.66-inch dildo, compared to before, Katniss initiates intimacy with me more often.
Before I had a relationship with Nathan, I was usually the one who initiated sex between us. Now, it's mostly Katniss who takes the lead. Although my penis length and endurance can't compare to Nathan's, I don't know if it's because of my physical condition, but my sexual performance has finally returned to normal. The size of my penis is innate and unchangeable in this lifetime, but my endurance has improved significantly. I used to ejaculate in five minutes, but now I can last for at least ten minutes, with the longest being twenty minutes.
During rare family gatherings, Nathan also seems more relaxed and has loosened up in his speech. However, sometimes when Katniss and I are chatting and laughing, I can see a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
All these abnormalities need time to slowly change and adapt. The most difficult thing to deal with now is the relationship between Nathan and Katniss. They now avoid being alone together and both seem to be avoiding each other.
Although there are reasons to avoid suspicion, isn't it more about the fear of them rekindling their old flame and engaging in a sexual relationship again?
As time passed for a month, without the constraints of family, my work also improved a lot. My efficiency gradually increased. Originally, Mia would call me every other day, but now once a week is considered good enough for work inquiries.
I lay back in my chair, drinking coffee. Although life is now mundane, it's less stressful. Perhaps simplicity is the truth. After so many family twists and turns, I am truly tired. I have achieved what I should, and now it's time to reclaim what was lost.
Work is on track, the company is in good shape, and I have the opportunity to visit and learn from Lumaria company. My work has met Mia's requirements, and Mia has kept her promise. When I saw that rare business jet parked in front of me, I could hardly believe it all.
Standing in front of the plane, I opened my arms, closed my eyes, faced the sky, feeling its vastness. From now on, I will fly in the blue sky on this plane, filled with pride and satisfaction, making my drive stronger.
As I boarded the plane, Katniss stood below, seeing me off.
When Katniss learned that I was leaving Novaria for a half-month business trip to Lumaria, she was extremely reluctant. After all, since we got back together, this was the first time I was leaving her for so long on a business trip. I was initially worried about Katniss, but with Michael and Sophia looking after her, I felt more at ease.
After embracing Katniss, I boarded the plane. Her words of farewell echoed in my ears.
Sitting on the plane, looking through the window, I saw Katniss tearfully waving goodbye below, and my heart ached.
After returning to normal life, my relationship with Katniss quickly warmed up. We spent time together every evening after work, and we finally returned to a normal life.
Looking back on everything that happened, it seems like a dream. Now that the dream has awakened, were the past experiences a beautiful dream or a nightmare? It seems that my heart does not have a clear definition. With gains come losses.
Although Katniss has been intimate with Nathan, a fact that cannot be changed, every time I make love to Katniss, I can only recall the scenes of Katniss and Nathan being intimate, which sometimes makes me feel bitter. But often, this leads to a quick erection.
When we were together before, I hoped that we would end this abnormal relationship. Now that it has finally ended, there are occasional reminiscences of that feeling of having a promiscuous wife. Although sometimes I miss it, I have no intention of acting on it again. The idea of ending the relationship is firm.
As the plane's engines accelerated, the plane slid off the runway and flew into the sky towards Lumaria. Honestly, this is my first time traveling abroad. If it weren't for fear of being accused of mixing personal affairs with work, I really wanted to bring Katniss along.
Lying on the spacious reclining seat of the plane, closing my eyes, this was a rare opportunity for me to rest, a long flight.
During my days in Lumaria, it was all about learning and visiting. My language skills were decent, so my time in Lumaria was quite pleasant. The only constraint was worrying about everything at home. Katniss would call me internationally every day, expressing her lovesickness. Her care and longing for me became my motivation at work. No matter how busy and tiring the day was, when I received Katniss's call at night, all my fatigue would disappear instantly.
Career, status, family - I have everything I should have. What more could I ask for now?
Arriving in Lumaria, I was looking forward to the business trip ending quickly. My own country is better; here, I don't feel at home.
After work and study each day, the first thing I hoped for was a call from Katniss. For the first ten days, I received a call from Katniss every night. But on the eleventh day, Katniss surprisingly didn't call me at night. Was she out socializing tonight? After Katniss recovered physically, she started adapting to a normal social life, even preparing to find a new job. Occasionally, she would go out for meals and shopping with her former colleagues and friends, which I fully supported, as it would help her recovery.
After waiting for a long time, I couldn't help but call Katniss. However, after the phone rang for a long time, no one answered, and the call was eventually disconnected.
I called a second time, but still no answer. In the end, I had to give up. At this point, my heart couldn't help but feel nervous. Although I had completely relaxed over the past month and found no abnormalities in the surveillance, the situation was different now. Back then, I could go home every night, but for this half-month, I was abroad. Could it be that while I was away, Nathan came back home and they rekindled their old flame?
But I couldn't check the surveillance at home at this time. I hadn't found anything unusual in the past month, and I hadn't checked the surveillance for several days. I had even forgotten about the surveillance, and I didn't know where I had put the encrypted device. It might be in the company's office or at home.
At that moment, my mind started to wander again. When I was about to call Katniss again, her call came through.
"Honey."
Katniss's gentle voice came through the phone.
"Where were you? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
My heart was still not calm at this point, and I asked anxiously.
"I was taking a shower. I just finished and saw your call, so I called back right away."
Katniss's tone was very relaxed, without any hint of nervousness or panic, which eased my mind.
I realized that my emotions were too sensitive. Perhaps my mindset, like Nathan's and Katniss's, needs time to gradually settle down.
