Chapter 527 Have You Seen Enough?
Kathy was stunned for a moment. "Huh?"
Gerald said, "It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's from you, I like it."
Kathy still didn't understand.
Was Gerald asking her to give him a gift?
In the end, Gerald pointed to his cheek, making his hint very clear.
Kathy's face turned red instantly.
Even though she often sent emojis of kisses and hugs while chatting, in reality, she was very timid.
Especially with Gerald looking at her like that, she didn't dare to do anything.
She just kept being shy.
Gerald took a step forward, getting a bit closer to her.
Kathy instinctively took a step back.
Gerald said, "I'll help you blow-dry your hair."
"I-I can do it myself."
"Your hand is injured; it's inconvenient." Gerald pulled her to sit down. "Be good."
Gerald had taken her in, and now he was blow-drying her hair. Emotionally and logically, she owed him a thank-you gift.
But after Gerald finished blow-drying her hair, he didn't mention it at all. Instead, he ruffled her hair and said, "Go to bed early."
Then he left the bedroom.
The master bedroom had traces of Gerald's life, but it had the best lighting and location, so Gerald had someone clean it up and gave it to Kathy.
He went to the guest bedroom to rest.
Kathy stood at the bedroom door, watching his back.
Suddenly, she ran over and hugged him from behind.
The last woman who hugged him like this was Elara.
But at that time, Gerald only felt disgust and rejection, and he had no hesitation in pushing her away.
But now, the softness of Kathy's chest against him made his breath quicken and his Adam's apple bob.
"Kathy." His voice was low and husky, very sexy.
Kathy wrapped her arms around his lean waist, her cheek pressed against his back.
She said, "Gerald, thank you."
After she said that, she wanted to kiss Gerald, but there was a height difference between them. Even if she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't reach Gerald's exposed neck.
She had no choice but to kiss Gerald's back.
After kissing him, her cheeks were burning, and she turned and ran away.
Gerald was only wearing a shirt, the fabric was thin, and he could clearly feel the kiss she left on his back.
He took a deep breath and turned around, only to see the closed door.
This Kathy really didn't care about his well-being.
In the middle of the night, she did this. How was he supposed to sleep?
But with the previous experience, Gerald didn't dare to take a cold shower again. He went to the guest bathroom and didn't know how long it took before he called out Kathy's name to release himself.
At night, Gerald got up twice, worried that after what happened last night, Kathy wouldn't sleep well.
Sure enough, the second time, he heard movement in the bedroom.
He raised his hand to knock on the door, but found it wasn't locked, not even closed, just ajar.
He pushed the door open and, with the light from outside, saw Kathy lying on her side on the bed, her body curled up.
He walked over quickly and squatted by the bed: "Kathy?"
Kathy was trying hard to suppress her sobs, looking up at him with tears on her eyelashes.
"Had a nightmare?" Gerald turned on a warm yellow bedside lamp and saw her face covered in tears.
Kathy, feeling ashamed, covered her face with her hands.
But Gerald reached out and picked her up.
When they went to the hospital before, he had held her like this.
But now, in the middle of the night, Kathy didn't know where he was taking her.
He carried her to the sofa and then sat down.
Kathy was in his arms.
The living room was dark, with no lights on.
Gerald said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Sleep, everything will be fine tomorrow."
He meant for Kathy to sleep in his arms.
Kathy clutched his loungewear, her tearful eyes looking at him. "How can I sleep like this? And if you don't rest, how will you go to work tomorrow?"
She tried to get up.
Gerald didn't let her move: "It's okay, don't worry about that. I'm here with you, you won't be afraid. Sleep."
Kathy had no choice but to snuggle in his arms, her cheek against his chest.
When they went to the hospital before, she was panicked and out of control.
But now, she was very clear-headed.
A man's body wasn't like a woman's, soft and fragrant.
In his arms, she could feel Gerald's firm body.
Maybe he even had abs.
Kathy didn't know how her thoughts wandered off.
Her face was a bit hot, and she curled up in Gerald's arms, not daring to move.
She didn't expect to have a nightmare; she just couldn't sleep, feeling scared, so she left the bedroom door slightly open.
Thinking that being closer to Gerald would make her feel more at ease.
She didn't know when she fell asleep or how she ended up crying from a nightmare.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Gerald.
The sense of security filling her heart was indescribable.
She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, after all, it was the first time in her adult life that she was lying in a man's arms.
The previous time didn't count.
But soon, she fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she turned over and woke up.
Feeling something was off, she opened her eyes and saw Gerald.
They were on the bed, Gerald still in his loungewear, with the collar buttoned up to the top.
And she was in Gerald's arms, his hand resting on her waist.
Her clothes were also neatly in place.
It seemed that after she fell asleep, Gerald put her on the bed and stayed with her, afraid she would be scared.
But Gerald probably didn't sleep much last night, otherwise, he wouldn't still be asleep at this hour.
After all, Kathy knew he had a habit of morning exercise.
But looking at the light outside, it was probably late.
Would he be late for work?
Kathy hesitated, wondering if she should wake him up.
She looked at Gerald and gradually became entranced.
Gerald's features were rugged and handsome; every part of his face seemed perfect.
She couldn't help but reach out to touch him, afraid he would wake up.
But seeing he didn't move, she couldn't resist touching his nose.
It was firm.
Then she touched his eyelashes, which were so long.
Kathy was feeling envious, her gaze then drawn to Gerald's thin lips.
She reached out and touched them, feeling very soft.
Although she was in her thirties, she had never been in a relationship due to a strict upbringing and later pursuing a PhD.
Honestly, she had never kissed anyone.
Gerald's lips looked very kissable.
Kathy's heart stirred, and she quietly leaned in to steal a kiss.
But she didn't have the courage, and just as she was about to pull back, her waist was grabbed.
She watched as Gerald opened his eyes.
"Have you seen enough?" He asked.
Kathy's face turned red instantly.
She didn't know when Gerald woke up.
So he knew she had been staring at him and touching him?
She wished she could disappear now.
