Chapter 512 Didn't Notice

Gerald held her hand, but had trouble when it came to putting on the ring.

He asked, "In our situation, we can't wear it on the ring finger, right? Only married people can wear it on the ring finger, right?"

Kathy extended her middle finger, "It should be worn on this one."

"The ring finger represents marriage. What does this one represent?" Gerald asked.

Kathy said, "It represents being in love."

Gerald smiled as he put it on her, "Hmm, I hope we can fall deeply in love."

After he said this, Kathy blushed again.

Seeing her like this, Gerald let go of her hand and changed the subject, "Let's go to another restaurant."

"Okay."

After dinner, since the car was Kathy's, she said she would drive Gerald back.

But Gerald ended up driving and took her home instead.

Then he took a cab back.

From Kathy's neighborhood, it was still a bit of a walk.

Kathy wanted to walk him out, but Gerald was worried about Kathy walking back alone at night.

Both were concerned for each other, so Kathy finally said, "Why don't you take my car?"

"Then tomorrow..."

"I can take a cab tomorrow."

Gerald said, "How about this, I'll come pick you up in the morning, and we can have breakfast together."

Kathy's eyes lit up, "Really? Do you have time?"

Gerald said, "No matter how busy I am, I start work at eight. But I'll come over early, can you get up?"

Kathy nodded immediately, "I can!"

After they made plans, Gerald was ready to leave.

Kathy walked with him to the car.

Gerald said, "You go upstairs first, and I'll leave now."

"It's okay, you go first."

Gerald smiled, "It's not right to let a girl see someone off. I may not know much about dating, but I do have basic gentlemanly manners."

Kathy glanced at him and lowered her eyes.

Gerald asked, "Is there something else you want to say?"

Kathy gathered her courage, didn't say anything, and suddenly hugged Gerald.

Before Gerald could react, she turned and ran.

Gerald was stunned for a moment, then watched her figure disappear before he came to his senses.

He smiled, stood there for a while, and then drove away.

Josephine knew they had a date that night, and around ten, she called Gerald.

There was no one who answered.

She thought, 'Could it be that the date isn't over yet? On the first date, Gerald won't do anything inappropriate, right?'

About ten minutes later, Gerald called back.

Josephine asked, "Gerald, are you home?"

Gerald said, "Yes, I was just taking a shower."

"I thought you weren't back yet." Josephine asked, "How was your date with Kathy?"

"It was good," Gerald said, "I did everything you told me to."

"Were you considerate? Were you gentlemanly?"

Gerald laughed, "Yes,, I even took her home."

"How was the conversation? Did you have common topics?"

"Yes." Gerald was actually a bit surprised by this.

Previously, when Kathy messaged him, it was clear that Kathy was different from ordinary girls.

She liked many things.

She even liked sports like skiing and rock climbing.

Especially when she felt pressured from hitting a bottleneck in her experiments, she would go out to release some stress.

She didn't know that Gerald also liked these things.

When they talked, they found out that not only did they share these two hobbies, but they also had many other things in common.

Especially during dinner tonight, the conversation never stopped.

Josephine was relieved and still reminded him, "Gerald, keep in touch with Kathy, take her to movies or dinner when you have time. And remember to buy gifts on holidays."

Gerald agreed to everything.

After hanging up, Josephine lay on the bed, satisfied.

Stuart looked at her pitifully from the side.

Because Josephine was pregnant, they naturally couldn't be intimate.

But after getting pregnant, Josephine became extremely clingy.

She wanted to be with Stuart all the time.

It seemed like seeing him gave her a sense of security.

When she was pregnant with Jeffery, Josephine didn't feel this way.

It was said that pregnant women were very sensitive, but she didn't feel that way back then.

But now, maybe because she was spoiled, her demands increased.

She just wanted to be with Stuart.

That wasn't a problem, but the key was that she wanted to hold Stuart while sleeping at night.

Just holding wasn't enough; she was also restless.

It was difficult for Stuart to endure with a warm, soft body in his arms.

Sleeping in separate beds wasn't an option either; Stuart wasn't comfortable leaving Josephine alone, and now Josephine couldn't be without him.

There was no choice; Stuart had to endure.

However, a few days ago, Josephine was kind enough to help him relieve himself a bit.

Tonight, Stuart was thinking about it again.

But Josephine's mind was on Gerald and Kathy.

After hanging up with Gerald, she started messaging Kathy.

Stuart had no choice but to hold her and gently massage her calf muscles.

Although she hadn't experienced cramps yet, more massages were always beneficial.

Josephine stared at her phone, then looked at Stuart the next second, "Can you believe it, Gerald... he really gets it!"

Stuart was puzzled, "What?"

"Gerald actually gave Kathy a ring!" Josephine said, "And he drove her home!"

"And you said Gerald doesn't know how to date," Stuart said, "I think he's pretty good at it. Giving gifts is always a good idea."

"Yeah, I think it's quite ceremonial. I worried for nothing."

"Are they getting along well?"

Josephine nodded, "Yes, Kathy said they had a great conversation, and Gerald was very gentle, not arrogant at all."

"In front of someone he likes, how could he be arrogant?" Stuart said, "Does this mean they'll have a wedding soon?"

"Hopefully," Josephine was very happy, "My mom can finally be at ease. I wonder if they'll want kids after they get married."

"Did you ask Ulysses? If Gerald wants another child, how does he feel about it?"

"I jokingly asked Ulysses, and he said it didn't matter, if his dad wanted one, then go ahead. I think he can accept it, especially since his mom has passed away, and Gerald didn't divorce her."

"That's true," Stuart said, "So there's no obstacle between them."

"I really hope they settle down soon," Josephine said, "If they get pregnant this month, they could have a baby by the end of the year."

Stuart laughed, "That's too fast, isn't it?"

Josephine said, "I hope so!"

"That would be too fast! You can't just start dating and... and have a relationship right away?"

"You're quite conservative," Josephine said, "They're adults, they know what they want, and they understand each other's character. If it's suitable, why not?"

Stuart said, "Even so, it takes time to get to know each other and then gradually progress."

"You're quite traditional," Josephine teased him, "I didn't expect that."

Stuart felt a bit wronged, "Why didn't you expect that? I'm very family-oriented."
