Mr Trap. Coldhearted
The Part 209
Along the way to the project site, Gerald continued to steal a glance at Cathleen who had been silent since. His ex-wife often asks a lot of questions. But now it has changed drastically. And that just makes him uncomfortable. She likes Cathleen who talks a lot. Although like that, lips still review a happy smile because they can be near the woman again.
To eliminate the silence inside, Gerald tried to think about the topic of conversation. “How much has your body weight gone up? Looks like very fat.”
“Ten kilograms,” Cathleen replied. He was not offended in the slightest to be said to be fat. The truth is like that.
“In the space of one month you managed to raise that much?” Gerald's tone sounded so astonished.
“Iya, why?”
“You are not ashamed to have a fat body? Usually women always think of appearance.”
The question managed to get Cathleen to take her eyes off the front, now looking and filling the cornea with Gerald's face. “What's really why? Are you ashamed to have an ex-wife whose body is now dilated?”
Chief Gerald immediately shook his head so that Cathleen did not misunderstand the question. “Same as no. But, you must also pay attention to your health, fearing that you will become obese later.”
“Quiet, I routinely check with the doctor,” reply Cathleen ended the conversation.
Gerald went back to silence and focused on the road. The brain is back to work to think about other topics. It was something that was very difficult for a quiet person.
But luckily, Cathleen started asking questions. “How's Chloe doing?”
“Still the same, no changes.”
“You told him to drive me? Chloe's looking for you.”
“Why? Don't you really want to give me good memories before she leaves for good?”
Gerald pulled the vehicle over when it reached the project site. But he had not opened the door, instead changing the sitting position so that it was slightly more tilted towards Cathleen. Grabbing the woman's hand for a gentle swab. “Either you will believe it or not with my words, but you know very well that I can never lie. Ever since we divorced, my life has been so messed up, unable to focus on doing anything and always feeling guilty because I was selfish, not thinking about your feelings when I was my wife. From then on, I reduced the intensity of meeting Chloe because there were other women I really wanted to meet every day.”
“Who?”
“You, as long as you know, every day I'm stalking you. Hope can treat longing.”
Gawat, the honesty of Gerald and the sharp gaze without lies made Cathleen's chest jump up and down. He always managed to destroy feelings.
But, Cathleen tried to keep showing calm. Unwilling to be rash and drifting in a sea of love that actually never recedes for Gerald. “Looks like I should be down immediately to review progress on the project.”
Cathleen severed her eyes and let go of Gerald's grasp. He must take care of his heart first. Not that she didn't believe the explanation, but as long as Chloe was around, her heart wasn't strong enough to feel broken a second time.
Gerald also came down, in addition to delivering, he would also accompany Cathleen to work. But his face turned wry when he saw Edbert there.
“Loh, Cath, why can Gerald deliver? Where's your driver?” asked Edbert who had been waiting for Cathleen's arrival.
