Kevin was very satisfied with Karen's answer. They were in public, but he caressed her cheek and kissed her lips gently.
Being watched by the people around them, Karen felt very shy. She pushed him away, but he pulled her all the more firmly, so that her body was attached to him.
This man, Kevin, usually looked gentle and refined, and his gestures were elegant and exquisite, but his strength was really strong. He could not be pushed away at all.
"What's wrong with this person?"
"Is there something wrong with his nerves recently?"Karen thought. His behavior changed every second, which made her unable to keep up with him.
Just as Karen was getting so embarrassed that she wanted to hide somewhere, Kevin finally let go of her and said, "Well, this is my present for you."
Karen's heart was in a mess. She felt dispirited. This gift was not valuable at all. If he really wanted to express gratitude towards me, Karen thought, he could simply give me some more practical gifts.
However, when she turned her head and looked at the furious eyes of the people in the distance, she did not think so anymore. Instead, she dove back into Kevin's arms.
This man was her husband. She could show off her love to him, and she didn't need to care about what others would think, especially like Madonna.
Seeing Karen slipping into his arms, Kevin took the opportunity to hug her and whispered, "I'm giving you all my time tonight. What else do you want to do?"
"Let me think about it." Karen raised her head and pondered about what to do next with him.
At this time, Kevin's personal phone rang and he said, "Hang tight for me for a while. I'll answer this call first."
Karen nodded. "Sure."
Kevin walked to one side and answered the phone. Karen gazed around and saw a shop selling freshly squeezed juice. She went to purchase two glasses of orange juice.
After making her order and taking the juice, she saw Kevin hurrying back and he apologized, "Karen, I have something urgent to deal with. I can't go shopping with you. I'll ask someone to send you home first."
Kevin had consistently been busy, and Karen knew it. She said thoughtfully, "You go and do your work. I can take the subway or a taxi back on my own."
Kevin did not reply. He picked up the phone and dialed Nick's number. He gave the address clearly and asked Nick to send Karen back home.
Hanging up the phone, he said, "I may not return tonight. Go back and rest early. Don't wait for me. Most importantly, do not see Charlie once more.”
Karen nodded. Before she could speak, Kevin had already left briskly. This was the first time Karen had seen him so anxious since she had met him.
What had happened, to make him leave in such a hurry?
Karen could only think of Charlie. Thinking of his words and eyes in the afternoon, she felt panicked and befuddled.
She quickly picked up her mobile phone and dialed Kevin's number, but his phone was engaged for a long time, and it was the same even though she dialed several times.
"Mrs. Kyle, I'll send you home." Shortly after, Nick arrived.
Karen hung up the phone and asked in a hurry, "Special Assistant Nick, what happened to Kevin? Did Charlie from the Gook family do something to the Innovative Tech again?"
Nick said, "Director Kevin will be fine. Young Master Gook of the Gook family can't do anything to Innovative Tech. Don't worry."
Nick was Kevin's most trusted confidante. Karen knew that there was no hope for her to get any specific information from him if Kevin had asked for him not to share any details.
Karen told herself to believe in Kevin once more, that he could handle Charlie, but she was still worried.
