Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Where’s Your Ring?

“Open the door.” Betty didn’t answer, so Kerwin outside spoke again, “You left something behind.”

His voice whirled Betty back to her senses. After a moment’s hesitation, Betty walked to the

bathroom door and opened it a crack.

Soon, Kerwin put his hand through the crack and handed Betty a soft white towel.

Betty froze at once.

“Didn’t you come out looking for this?” asked Kerwin, half-laughing. Betty felt her face burning.

“Thanks, ” Betty responded quickly, took the towel, and pulled the door closed.

Betty toweled herself and changed into her pajamas. She came out and saw Kerwin in dark blue silk pajamas sitting on the bed and tapping fast with his laptop on his lap.

It seemed a little strange to Betty.

She originally thought that there should be a lot of caregivers around to assist Kerwin. But to her

surprise, only James and Maria took care of him here.

Did Kerwin get into bed by himself?

Did he shower?

“Um…” Betty couldn’t help but ask, “Do you need a shower?”

“I showered,” Kerwin replied briefly.

Betty was worried that Kerwin could not shower by himself, but unexpectedly, he had already done

it.

However, Kerwin took a shower not at home. Was it possible that he kept a woman in another place?

Betty had a bold guess. But to be honest, she didn’t mind even if Kerwin had an affair.

Betty went to her desk and started to sort out her stuff for tomorrow’s work. Suddenly, she saw the

ring she had taken off before the shower and froze for a moment.

She almost forgot about the wedding rings she had bought.

Before she bought the rings, she had no idea that her husband was the president worth jaw-dropping billions of dollars, So she bought the rings of simple style.

But now she thought this ring was not good enough for Kerwin.

At this thought, Betty glanced at Kerwin focusing on doing his job on the bed. Then, she stuffed her ring into her bag and put the ring box which she had intended to give to Kerwin into the dresser

After that, Betty climbed into bed.

Much to Betty’s relief, the bed was large with two blankets and two pillows on it. Kerwin and Betty both had a side of the bed, and they were two feet from each other.

Seeing Betty lying down, Kerwin asked her, “Are you done bathing?” Then his gaze returned to the

screen.

“Yeah,” Betty answered and glanced at Kerwin’s screen curiously.

Betty knew that Kerwin’s company was mainly engaged in the funds and bonds trade. The computer

screen was full of red and green icons and lines. Betty did not understand any of them and looked

away.

“Wanna sleep now?” Kerwin glanced over his shoulder at Betty.

“Yes.”

Kerwin then turned off the bedside lamp.

As the bedroom was plunged into darkness, Betty became a little nervous.

She still couldn’t figure out why Kerwin married her and wasn’t sure if he would have sex with her

later.

Betty was lying stiffly in bed. With the clock ticking, Kerwin beside her fell asleep. Hearing his steady breathing, she finally relaxed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning

Betty’s phone alarm woke her up. She opened her eyes, only to find that Kerwin’s side of the bed

was empty.

Betty freshened up, put on light makeup, and went downstairs.

When she reached the staircase, a delicious smell of food filled her nostrils.

Maria was busy serving food. At the sight of Betty, she smiled kindly. “Mrs. Martin, you’re up. Please sit down for breakfast.”

Betty walked to the table full of food.

Maria made them a hearty breakfast of pancakes, muffins, and hot milk.

Kerwin was at the table sipping at his milk while reading a newspaper.

Betty froze when her eyes fell on Kerwin’s hand.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
