Chapter 530 Stay When Getting Married
Nicole was actually a bit troubled, because Gerald hadn't called her about this matter.
It was the West family who approached her, and that was how she found out what Elara had done.
If Elara's previous phone call, threatening Kathy and insulting the blind date Nicole had introduced, had already ruined the West family's good impression, then this incident directly angered Nicole.
Originally, with Elara's engagement, the relationship between the two families had superficially improved.
Who knew Elara would do something so insane!
The West family came to plead, but Nicole heard a different version of the story.
The West family said that Elara was influenced by someone and just wanted to scare Kathy a little.
Nicole was furious and immediately had the head of the West family thrown out.
She then called Gerald to understand the real situation.
They had broken into the house and tried to assault Kathy.
Nicole had been looking forward to Gerald having a girlfriend for a long time, and naturally couldn't let anyone bully her.
The West family had still held out hope, thinking there would be a chance to reconcile with the Clarence family.
But this time, Elara's actions even angered the West family themselves.
Several of Elara's brothers wanted to cut ties with her on the spot.
The family she was engaged to also broke off the engagement.
There was no way; no one wanted such a woman.
Would they want to be enemies with the Clarence family after marriage?
So soon, the West family understood what it meant to hit someone when they were down.
In the end, with no other options, the West family swallowed their pride and sought help from an elder.
This elder was highly respected in Celestia Springs and had connections with both the Clarence and West family elders.
The West family had only this one chance left. If even this elder couldn't help them, the West family really couldn't survive here.
Moreover, they felt the Clarence family was making a big deal out of nothing.
Kathy hadn't suffered any substantial harm, so why not forgive Elara?
When they spoke to the elder, they naturally made many excuses for Elara.
They said she was deeply in love, couldn't have what she wanted, lost her head, and acted impulsively.
She was very remorseful afterward, crying bitterly, and even wanted to kneel and beg Gerald for forgiveness.
But Gerald didn't give her a chance.
This elder had connections with both the Clarence and West families, and particularly owed the West family a favor from his younger days.
Now that the West family had come to him, it was clearly Elara's fault, and there was no room for argument.
Going to the Clarence Mansion to speak on behalf of the West family would cost him his pride.
Upon learning that the elder was coming, Gerald returned home that night.
He really hadn't gone to work and had spent the whole day with Kathy.
If it were before, Kathy couldn't have imagined Gerald doing such a thing.
To put work aside and be completely with her.
She had always thought that in Gerald's heart, nothing was more important than work.
Even if there was, it would only be Gerald's family.
When she shared her thoughts, Gerald just smiled and called her a little fool.
Then he leaned in to kiss her again.
Kathy wondered if Gerald had a kissing fetish.
He had hardly stopped kissing her all day.
Most of the time, the kisses were gentle and without desire, perhaps just enjoying being close to her.
There were a few intense moments, but Kathy noticed that Gerald had great self-control.
After kissing, he would breathe heavily, hold Kathy tightly, and after a while, he would calm down.
Kathy had thought he was quite strong until she accidentally touched him.
Only then did she realize how much he was suffering.
Actually, Kathy was ready to take their relationship further.
Even if they couldn't get married or stay together in the future, Kathy was willing to give herself to him.
This was her first love. Apart from a vague crush on a math teacher in college, Kathy had never had feelings for anyone else.
She wanted to give her first time to Gerald.
She wouldn't regret it.
But every time, Gerald only kissed her, and even his hands were very proper, never touching other parts of her body.
Let alone taking the next step.
Just an hour before Nicole called, Gerald was still kissing her.
This time, Kathy took his hand and placed it on her waist.
The hem of her loungewear was easily lifted.
Gerald was momentarily stunned. Realizing Kathy's intention, his breathing became heavier.
"Kathy." He called her name in her ear.
Kathy almost melted in his arms.
She knew how restrained and polite Gerald was, even afraid of being too forward with a kiss.
He probably wouldn't take the initiative to do those things.
So, Kathy spoke up, "Gerald."
Gerald kissed her cheek and responded, "I'm here."
"I... want it," Kathy said with her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling. "Gerald, take me, please."
For a man, hearing such words from the woman he loved was an enormous temptation.
Gerald's breath stopped for a few seconds, his Adam's apple moved intensely, and then he took a deep breath.
He held Kathy tighter.
The room fell silent, and Kathy waited for his next move.
Taking Gerald's hand and placing it under her clothes was the most proactive thing she could do.
But Gerald didn't proceed.
He withdrew his hand and even straightened her clothes.
Kathy looked up at him in confusion.
He said, "Kathy, some things we should wait to do until we're married."
Kathy's eyes widened as she looked at him.
Gerald smiled, raised his hand to cover her eyes, and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist."
Kathy pulled his hand down, "You... you actually think that way? How many men nowadays would wait until marriage for such things?"
Gerald said, "I don't know about others, but I just want to give you the best."
"But..." Kathy felt sweet inside, but she also had doubts, "What if... we're not compatible?"
Gerald said, "Don't worry, we will be."
Kathy was puzzled, "Why?"
Gerald whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, even if we're not compatible, there are other ways to satisfy you."
Kathy's ears felt burning hot.
Judging by her inexperienced kissing, Gerald had a rough guess.
Although he wouldn't care whether Kathy was a virgin or not, the possibility that she was would still be a pleasant surprise.
He had been married before, and for him, a sexual relationship wasn't a necessity.
But seeing his reaction when he was with Kathy, it seemed that wasn't entirely true.
Still, he was willing to wait for that day to give Kathy the best experience.
When Nicole called, the two were still being affectionate.
After hanging up Nicole's call, Gerald said, "I need to go home for a bit."
