Chapter 67: It’s Totally Meaningless
Cathryn could tell that Athena was threatened by her and Jordan’s relationship. No matter how calm and rational Athena pretended to be. Yes, she was an actress, but the panic in her eyes betrayed her bad acting.
Athena was afraid. She wanted to be a genuine couple with Jordan, but Jordan lacked interest in her. He only used her as a way to pester his ex-wife, Cathryn. There were lots of women like Cathryn in the entertainment circle. Athena couldn’t understand why Jordan loved Cathryn so much and how they managed to stay married for a year.
“I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong person, Miss White.” Cathryn looked at Athena indifferently. She continued, “It’s totally meaningless for you to warn me of these things. Since you know Mr. Riggs doesn’t like onions, you should also know that it’s impossible for us to get back together again. What you should be watching out for are the other women. They could very easily become Mr. Riggs’s third wife rather than me.” Cathryn said these words without mercy.
After that, she turned on the tap, calmly washed her hands, and then left the washroom without a backward glance. As Cathryn was walking, she was suddenly overcome with a feeling of nausea. So Cathryn didn’t return to the table. Instead, she went downstairs and was going to leave the restaurant.
Standing at the front door and looking out, Cathryn noticed the reporters standing outside. “Oh, I forgot, ” Athena told me they were out there. Hmmm. It shouldn’t be a problem as I was one who was rescued by Jordan and me being an unknown actress, they won’t even notice me. They are here for him and not for me.” Cathryn mumbled, and then she left. So just as she said, the reporters and photographers didn’t pay any attention to her. Then Cathryn crossed the crowd and went over to a Japanese restaurant.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The owner of the Japanese restaurant was a young man, and when he saw Cathryn enter, he immediately stopped what he was doing and began to serve Cathryn. “Can I help you, Miss?” The owner said.
He had just finished making sushi and placed it on the table. With the caviar placed on top of the sushi, there was also half a piece of a shrimp tail set on it. Staring at the sushi, Cathryn said to the owner with a smile, “I’ll take that one.”
Unexpectedly, just as she had reached out her hand, her wristband suddenly vibrated, and Cathryn said, “I’m sorry. I’m allergic to seafood. I will just have the ordinary fruit sushi, please!” Cathryn sighed and waited for the owner to bring her the food.
Lifting her wrist and looking at the wristband, she began to miss Keith again. ‘Where is he now? When will he arrive in Well City? Has he eaten yet?’ Cathryn wondered. These questions were lingering in her head.
The owner of the restaurant soon finished making the sushi and immediately brought it over to her. Looking at the sushi, Cathryn’s eyes instantly brightened up, and then she began to eat it.
While she was eating, she automatically thought of the hamburger episode. Then she began to vent her grievances while eating. Suddenly, Cathryn started to choke on the sushi. She pounded the table with her hands, and her face instantly turned red from coughing.
Before she had a chance to ask the owner for help, a bottle of water appeared in front of her. Grabbing the bottle, Cathryn hurried to drink two gulps, and to her surprise, the cap was already off the bottle.
Immediately, she felt better. Taking another sip of water, Cathryn thought it was the owner who gave her the water, so she turned around to thank him. When she looked back, she saw Keith standing beside her. Cathryn choked on the water and began coughing again. Barely able to get the words out, she said, “Hello, Keith! I can’t believe you’re here!”
Her eyes sparkled with joy, and her face was flushed. Every cell in Cathryn’s body was happy, and her smile was a manifestation of joy. Keith stood beside Cathryn, his lips held a faint smile, and his blue eyes twinkled.
His eyes were so deep and beautiful. Keith put one hand on the table and the other on Cathryn’s back. He gently patted her back and said, “Take it easy and take some deep breaths.”
Keith lifted his hand when Cathryn stopped coughing and gently stroked her hair. He slowly lowered his head and put it close to her ear, and said in a soft voice, “Here I am, Cathryn. I have been very worried about you!”

Keith had just arrived at the restaurant, and because it was so chilly outside, his hands were cold like ice. He leaned over, stroked Cathryn’s cheek, and kissed her forehead. “Keith, your hands are freezing,” she said and shivered slightly. Every time Keith touched her, she would feel a connection and a feeling she had never felt before.
“I’m sorry, it’s a little cool outside,” he whispered softly in her ear. The heat was on in the restaurant, and Keith soon warmed up. The second Cathryn saw Keith, her mood changed. A strange feeling of excitement filled her every time she looked at him.
They sat there and talked for a while, and then the waiter came over and handed Keith the menu. Keith was in such a hurry to see Cathryn, he hadn’t eaten anything yet. The waiter came over and asked him what he wanted. “I will have some chow mein and rice, please,” Keith politely said.
“It won’t be long, sir,” the waiter quickly responded.
While Cathryn was talking to Keith, she remembered the souvenir she had bought him. “Keith, remember the gift I bought you? It’s right here in my purse.” She reached down to look for it and remembered where she had left the bag. “I’m so sorry, I must have left it at the restaurant!”
Cathryn was so upset because she couldn’t wait to see Keith’s reaction when he opened the gift. As Keith looked at her, he could see the disappointment on her face. She sat there contemplating whether she should go back and get it, then her phone rang.
