Chapter 507 The Loudspeaker
Kathy didn't expect that he would bring up such a small matter.
She quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, after all, I touched your face too."
"You are my girlfriend now, you can touch anywhere you want," Gerald said. "But you are a girl, I should respect you."
Kathy blushed again.
She sneaked a glance at Gerald, just in time to meet his gaze.
Kathy quickly looked away, "No, it's nothing, you are my... my boyfriend, holding hands is of course no problem."
Gerald said, "Thank you."
He then asked, "Are you still scared now?"
Kathy shook her head, "Not scared anymore. It's not that I was scared, just that the surprise came too suddenly."
Gerald said, "To be honest with you, actually, before you came, I didn't expect that I would say such things."
Kathy was stunned, "You, you won't regret it, right?"
"The words I say, unless there are irresistible reasons, I won't regret them," Gerald said. "Since I said such things to you, unless you disagree."
"How could I disagree?" Kathy blurted out in a hurry, "I like you so much!"
After saying it, Kathy realized what she had just shouted.
Instantly, her face turned even redder.
Although she could express her feelings when sending messages.
But confessing face to face, she would still be shy.
Gerald felt a bit despicable, seeing Kathy like this, he actually wanted to tease her.
But seeing her so shy, and the two of them just established their relationship, he decided not to tease her, in case he scared her off.
He finally got a girlfriend, but if his mom knew he scared her off, he would probably get a beating.
Ulysses had been waiting outside for a long time, he thought to himself, he didn't expect his dad, such an old-fashioned person, to have someone willing to be with him and not find it boring.
Kathy was quite impressed, liking his dad with such a personality.
After all, Kathy's conditions seemed pretty good.
Ulysses admitted, his dad was actually very charming.
Gerald, who had been in a high position for a long time, had an aura of authority without anger, not to mention Gerald was tall and handsome.
Not to mention anything else, just his physique and face would make many women infatuated.
Not to mention, he also had such ability and aura.
However, had they been in the ward for too long?
He was thinking this when his phone rang.
Seeing it was Gerald, he quickly answered, "Dad?"
Hearing the teasing in his voice, Gerald asked, "What are you laughing at? Where are you?"
"Wherever you told me to be, that's where I am."
"Speak properly!" Gerald said, "Did you come to the hospital?"
His IV drip was finished, and Ulysses hadn't come back yet.
Kathy wanted to leave, but also wanted to stay. Gerald saw her unease and chatted with her.
They chatted and forgot the time.
The two of them started talking and found they had a lot in common.
Ulysses said, "Dad, I've been waiting outside the ward for a long time."
"Come in," Gerald said directly, "I want to introduce you to a woman."
Kathy was extremely nervous.
Just now, Gerald had introduced his situation again.
Even though Kathy already knew he was widowed and had a son in college.
But Kathy didn't expect that on the first day of confirming their relationship, Gerald would want her to meet Ulysses.
In Gerald's words, "I don't want to hide anything, my son Ulysses has a decent personality, you should meet him, it might make you feel more at ease."
To be honest, although she was a bit nervous about meeting Gerald's son, Kathy also felt that Gerald made sense.
How to put it, Gerald wanting her to meet his son made her feel very secure.
It reminded her of a girl at work who had been dating a man for over two years, and every time she mentioned meeting the parents, the man would find various excuses to avoid it.
In the end, they broke up.
Kathy felt that when a relationship reached a certain point, it should lead to marriage.
If the man didn't want to introduce the woman to his parents, it was obvious he didn't plan to marry her.
So, Gerald wanting Kathy to meet Ulysses made Kathy feel very secure.
However, she also thought, was it too early?
What if they found out they were not suitable for each other after being together?
But obviously, there wasn't much time for her to think about these things now.
Ulysses knocked and came in, seeing Kathy, he smiled brightly and said, "Hello, I'm Ulysses."
Kathy was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
She quickly said, "Hello, I'm Kathy."
Gerald said, "Ulysses, this is Kathy. Kathy, this is my son, you can call him Ulysses, that's what the family calls him."
The phrase "family" made Kathy feel warm inside.
But having just met, there wasn't much to talk about, and standing there would only be awkward.
Gerald noticed this too and said, "I won't keep you, you should go home and rest."
Kathy quickly said, "Then I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Gerald stood up, "I'll walk you out."
Ulysses quickly stopped him, "Dad, what are you walking her out for? I'll do it."
Kathy also quickly said, "No need, I can go by myself."
Ulysses still walked Kathy to the door, "Goodbye, Ms. Nelson."
He kept smiling, and Kathy had a good impression of him.
After leaving the hospital, she saw many messages on her phone.
Among them was one from Josephine.
She quickly called back.
Back in the ward, Ulysses closed the door, looked at his dad, and smiled, "Dad, you're doing well, got a girlfriend while being sick."
Gerald said, "Stop joking around, speak properly!"
"Did I say something wrong? You introduced us. Isn't she your girlfriend?"
"Yes, she is my girlfriend," Gerald said. "But don't tell your grandma about this yet."
"Really!" Ulysses was surprised, "Dad, are you really going to date her? You didn't fake being sick to gain her sympathy, did you?"
Gerald didn't want Ulysses to know about Kathy pursuing him.
He said, "What are you thinking about all day?"
"Then why don't you want me to tell Grandma? This is a good thing, why hide it?"
"You know your grandma's personality, right? If she knows I have a girlfriend, I'm afraid she'll scare her off!"
Ulysses said, "You just got together and you're already protecting her? Dad, it seems you're not so clueless after all."
Gerald couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
Ulysses continued, "Does Aunt Josephine know about you two? I heard it was Aunt Josephine who asked her to come see you."
Gerald said, "I'll talk to Josephine about this myself, don't go around broadcasting it like a loudspeaker."
Ulysses felt wronged, "How am I broadcasting it?"
