Chapter 528 Clingy
Gerald's laughter came from above her head.
His chest was gently vibrating, and Kathy belatedly realized that their current state was too intimate.
The two of them hadn't even kissed yet, but now they were lying in the same bed, and she was being held in his arms.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they had just been through something.
But Kathy could guarantee that even if she fell asleep, Gerald would be well-behaved and wouldn't even kiss her.
Now Gerald was laughing, and Kathy felt a bit embarrassed. She quickly pushed him away, lowered her head, and hurriedly got out of bed to go to the bathroom.
After she left, Gerald's arms felt empty.
He looked down at his body's reaction and gave a bitter smile.
Recently, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body.
By the time Kathy dawdled out of the bathroom, half an hour had passed.
She remembered that Gerald probably had to go to work, so she came out.
Otherwise, she might have stayed in the bathroom all day.
She had taken the day off and didn't have to go to work.
But Gerald most likely couldn't do the same.
So she came out of the bathroom, took a look, and saw that the bedroom was empty, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
If she and Gerald had done all the intimate things, she wouldn't be so shy and awkward.
But they hadn't done anything, just lay in the same bed, intimately snuggled in his arms.
Kathy felt like her face was burning up.
She couldn't help it; she was just that easily embarrassed.
Gerald wasn't in the bedroom, and Kathy thought he might have gone to work, hoping he had just left her a note or something.
But when she left the bedroom, she saw Gerald.
Gerald had just finished washing up, and the hair on his forehead was still wet.
He was drinking water, his raised neck and Adam's apple moving up and down, looking very sexy.
Kathy didn't realize she was staring at him and got lost in thought again.
Gerald finished drinking water and looked over at her, "All done? What do you want to eat?"
He walked over with the water cup. "Have some water first."
He directly put the water cup to Kathy's mouth.
He had just drunk from it and now wanted her to drink from it.
Gerald raised an eyebrow at her, "You didn't mind yesterday, but you mind today?"
Kathy wasn't minding.
She just felt that, as a couple, they had indirectly kissed many times.
But Gerald didn't seem to have any intention of kissing her directly.
Kathy took the water cup herself, drank a few sips, and asked him, "Aren't you going to work?"
"I took the day off."
"Took the day off?" Kathy thought she might have misheard, not expecting that Gerald actually took a day off.
He was someone who loved his work very much. What could be more important than work?
"You actually took a day off?" Kathy asked, "Is there something going on?"
Gerald glanced at her and then turned to the kitchen. "I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone at home."
Kathy was stunned.
She didn't expect that Gerald had taken the day off because of her.
Gerald asked her, "Do you want a sandwich or pasta? There's not much here, so we'll have to make do today. Or we could go out to eat?"
Kathy quickly said, "A sandwich is fine."
Gerald said, "Then I'll fry a couple of eggs."
Kathy was still a bit surprised, "You can cook?"
"A little," Gerald said, "It might not be as good as yours."
"You haven't even tasted my cooking," Kathy suddenly said, "I'll make the pasta."
Gerald looked at her, "You want pasta?"
"No, I want to make pasta for you," Kathy said, "So you can taste my cooking."
Gerald smiled at her.
Kathy felt puzzled by his smile, "What's wrong? You don't like pasta?"
"I do," Gerald stopped himself from overthinking and said, "Then you do it. Do you need any help? What do you need me to get for you?"
Kathy asked, "What's in the fridge?"
Gerald looked, "There's some beef in the freezer, but it needs time to thaw. There are two tomatoes here."
"Tomatoes and eggs are enough," Kathy leaned over to look, "There's also some green onions, that's enough."
Gerald watched her, and Kathy, when she was abroad, wasn't used to the food, so she tried cooking herself.
Probably everyone who had studied abroad had tried cooking to some extent.
Kathy's cooking skills were pretty good.
Gerald watched her busying around and suddenly felt a sweet and stable feeling.
Previously, Ulysses' mother was not in good health, and she was a wealthy lady who had almost never been in the kitchen.
Nicole had even less interest in cooking.
Josephine had never done housework either.
Besides, they were family, so even if he saw them cooking, Gerald wouldn't feel anything.
But watching Kathy do these things, his feelings were different.
Kathy fried the eggs, cut the tomatoes into small pieces, and was about to put them in the pot when he hugged her.
"Don't," she was stunned for a moment, then tried to pull Gerald's hand away, "Don't get burned."
"Not afraid," Gerald hugged her from behind and kissed her earlobe, "It would be worth it even if I got burned."
Kathy's body stiffened, feeling completely uncomfortable.
She really hadn't been this intimate with anyone before.
"Nervous?" Gerald noticed her unease and couldn't help but laugh, "First time in a relationship? Why are you so easily embarrassed?"
Kathy didn't say anything.
At her age, not having been in a relationship wasn't something to brag about.
It seemed like no one wanted her.
But she couldn't lie and say she was experienced.
So she remained silent.
Gerald certainly didn't think she had never been in a relationship.
He had been married and had a child, so he wouldn't care how many relationships Kathy had before.
But he still chose to give Kathy enough respect.
Especially since Kathy had been frightened yesterday.
Even though he now wanted to be closer to her, he would restrain himself.
He had just lost control for a moment, feeling a strong urge to hug her, which was why he did what he did.
Kathy took a while to calm down.
With a large human pendant behind her, she finally finished cooking the pasta.
Even with simple ingredients, it smelled delicious.
Gerald didn't expect her cooking to be so good.
Kathy served the pasta, and Gerald brought it to the dining table.
Kathy came out with the utensils, and Gerald suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "Thank you."
Kathy was stunned.
Gerald had already pulled out a chair. "Sit."
Kathy felt a bit dazed.
From the moment Gerald hugged her, she had been a bit dizzy.
In her opinion, Gerald was a serious, solemn, and meticulous man.
Even though she could feel Gerald's gentleness and thoughtfulness in their interactions.
But she didn't expect Gerald to have such a clingy side.
He actually clung to her while she was cooking!
This made Kathy feel sweet inside.
But it was also quite a shock.
Gerald had just kissed her again.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were newlyweds.
But who would know that they hadn't even kissed yet?
Kathy looked at him.
Gerald said, "What's wrong? Eat the pasta first, or it won't taste good later."
