Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1746

It was at the fifth day when I finally decided to ask my dad. "Dad, where is Kris?"

Dad took a glance at me and then replied, "He is busy with his work these days, so he has been sleeping in company office lately. What is wrong? Pauline, you look weird."

I was diffident all of a sudden, so I just grinned and replied, "Nothing is wrong. It just feels strange that I haven't seen him in so many days."

I was not sure if that had convinced Dad at that time. About a week later, my brother told me that Kris had broken up with his girlfriend.

Yes, they did break up with each other. "What? Do you know why?" I asked my brother with surprise while eating fruits on the couch.

However, he just giggled and said calmly. "They are not married. And it is a common case for lovers. So there is no big reason behind their separation.

I knew it was just a common case for my brother, but for Kris it would be a totally different one. Obviously, it was weird.

Kris was not a disloyal and unreliable man. Instead he was a single-minded man. And he would not separate with a girl once he decided to be with her, unless he had a good reason.

Kris showed up almost half a month later. I looked at him attentively and carefully but found nothing different. He looked just the same as he did before.

My mom liked pearl very much, and that's why I decided to major in design.

The day before I went to study in England, I asked Kris, "Would you go to England with me, Kris?"

He had accompanied me since my childhood. Even though I had to go abroad for higher education, I was still reluctant to separate with him.

He did not answer me immediately but looked at me silently. After a long while, he replied, "Pauline, I will have to deal with a significant contract soon, so......" He said and patted my head gently.

Absolutely, he could not miss this contract, because through this contract, he would be making further progress into his career.

I grabbed his arm in a hurry upon hearing this and asked, "Then can you see me off tomorrow?"

He did not decline my request this time and promised me that he would, with a faint smile.

But I was fidgeting, so I bit my lip tightly and looked at him without uttering a word.

Perhaps he also sensed my uneasiness, so he glanced at me worryingly and asked, "Are you okay?"

I gazed at him and the concern in his eyes encouraged me. "Kris, could you stay away from other women, now that I am not going to be by your side," I blurted those words out. "I am sorry. I mean you...... I......" I wanted to explain myself to him, but I was unable to say anything.

"Okay. I promise, I won't."

He replied to me briefly but firmly, while disregarding my continued trepidation.

I was shocked and my heart raced at an alarming speed.

His broad palm had been fondling my cheeks, subconsciously. I was holding his arms just then, but now I found them wrapped around his waist.

Slowly he lowered his head and I closed my eyes.

The very moment his lips touched mine, I heard someone knocking on the door.

I was shocked and frightened, so I quickly struggled to move away from his arms, keeping a certain distance from him.

It was my dad who was knocking the door. He looked at us with his sharp eyes and finally said to me, "Pauline, go back to your room. I have something to talk about with Kris."

"Okay," I replied with a low voice.

At the age of twenty-seven, mom arranged a blind date for Kris. I also had to attend a medical seminar with my dad. They said that many prominent figures in the medical world would be at the seminar.

When a young man greeted me, dad introduced me to him casually. What's more, dad even told me a lot of things about the man, who seemed to be a doctor.

However, I was not interested in him.

Dad had also sensed that I was being absent-minded and so he frankly told me the real purpose for bring me there.

Since I had reached a marriageable age, dad was eager to introduce me to someone. He hoped that I would be interested in the man he had selected for me.

Now that I had read dad's intention, I asked him tentatively, "Dad, what do you think of Kris?"

My father looked at me with his profound eyes but said nothing. I didn't like it him when he looked at me like that. I knew he had something to say to me, but he just kept silent, so I had no choice but to try and read his mind. But I failed every time. Kris often acted in the same manner as my dad. "Dad, why do you just keep silent? You have known it, right? Yes, I love Kris, so please don't introduce me to any other men."

Everyone knew that Arvin was a very astute person. So I was fairly sure that he was able to look through my heart, since he was so smart.
