Cathryn's character, like most girls, was immersed in past memories of her love affair with Jordan. So Grace thought that the most useful way to get Cathryn out of her current state of mind was to help her find a new boyfriend.

"All I know is that his name is Keith," said Cathryn shyly. She was hugging her knee and squatting on the sofa. The mention of his name gave Cathryn an unforgettable physiological stimulation of the events of last night.

The medicine that she had taken had given her body an uncontrollable desire that she wrapped her legs around the man's waist like a snake. She remembers continually making love to him. She had never felt this way before.

Every time she thought of this, she felt embarrassed.

"Why is your face so red?" Grace asked. She had noticed that something was wrong with Cathryn. She patted Cathryn on the shoulder.

"Nothing," Cathryn said calmly. She buried her face in her knees.

"Do you still have any sanitary napkins at home?" asked Grace while she was pouring a glass of water.

"It seems that I have run out," Cathryn put her palm on her face as it was burning up. She did not want to look up because Grace didn't want to see how flushed her face looked.

She then asked, "Are you menstruating? We can go to the supermarket to buy some sanitary napkins if you want?"

Staring straight at Cathryn, Grace said with a deep sigh, "No, they are not for me. You will have your period within a week after taking the emergency contraception. You are twenty-four years old, so it is less likely that you will get pregnant. Unless you are already pregnant? Are you?"

"Definitely not," replied Cathryn.

Cathryn quickly jumped off the sofa and looked for her wallet in a panic. "Would you please come with me to the supermarket to buy some sanitary napkins?"

When they arrived at the supermarket, they saw that there were many discounts, so Cathryn bought five boxes of sanitary napkins.

****

A week later, she still did not have her period. Cathryn was very confident in the beginning. Then she became nervous and then she started feeling very frightened. A week had passed, and Cathryn's period had not yet come. She called Grace in tears. Grace asked her to stay calm and wait for two more days. Cathryn tried to remain calm for three more days. Finally, she went to the store on the third day to buy a pregnancy test.

The following day, Cathryn saw the two red lines appear on the pregnancy test stick.

She was so shocked that she was unable to speak. Cathryn thought she was going to faint. While rubbing her eyes and trembling simultaneously, she placed the pregnancy test stick in front of her. The two red lines were more visible to her eyes now, and they clearly showed that the test result was positive.

The result was more unacceptable than her divorce from Jordan. She could hardly breathe. "What am I going to do?" Cathryn thought to herself. Her tears fell down like a waterfall. She was trembling as she looked for her phone. She knew she had to talk to Grace.

She had just finished dialing Grace's number when there was a knock on the door. It was a dull and slow sound.

"Who is it?"Cathryn asked, crying repeatedly.

Raspiness can be heard in her voice. She was in no condition to entertain anyone. All she wanted to do was to talk to Grace, but there was no answer. The knock on the door was continuous.

Cathryn gave up on trying to call Grace and took a tissue to wipe the tears off her face. She went to the door with tears in her eyes. Cathryn opened the door, and to her dismay, there stood Keith. She was shocked.

He lowered his head to look at Cathryn, and his eyes grew deep. Very tenderly, he asked, "Why are you crying?"

Cathryn couldn't speak. All she could do was look at the man who was standing outside in her corridor. He was at least six feet and four inches tall. He was taller than her door.

Cathryn needed to look way up to see his face. "Who was this man, and why does he look so familiar?" she thought to herself.

Jordan had the ordinary appearance of an American man. He had a pair of bright blue eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, like an elaborate statue carefully carved by God. It could be no exaggeration to say that Jordan had opened the door of the entertainment circle and reached the peak of his career with his handsome appearance.

However, the man in front of her was more exquisite than Jordan. The two of them seemed to be like two sculptures. One was the work that the sculptor was satisfied with, and the other was the sculptor's last work, to which the sculptor had devoted all his efforts.

The man's facial shape was clear, and she could vividly see the stereoscopic view of him. The hair in front of his forehead was combed upward to reveal his full forehead, and his crescent-of-moon eyebrows were thin and narrow. The bridge of his nose was upright and straight. His lips were thin and bright red. His lip shape was like the perfect sketch of a Creator.

The most noticeable feature of the man's face was his brown, large, and deep eyes. His eyes were sparkling in a glow of happiness. They were captivating, by far the most attractive feature of his darkly handsome face. They say that the eyes can express the emotions of the person. However, this man's eyes were one of his main attractions. People would look into his eyes and immerse themselves in a fascinating mystery, unable to extricate themselves.

Matching his facial features, the man sent out a remarkable temperament. He was wearing a plain white leisure T-shirt with a pair of dark leisure pants. It still could not conceal his elegance.

Unlike the handsome young actors who were popular in the entertainment circle, the man had been sending out a kind of sophisticated charm. He had long, nicely defined legs that made him win more girls' hearts than any other long-legged handsome man. Moreover, he was flamboyant with his character.

Cathryn temporarily forgot her sadness and was utterly attracted to the man. She carefully looked the man up and down and, at last, fixed her eyes on the man's hands.

The man's fingers were slender and straight, like his figure. His fingers were slightly crooked because he was carrying a square box wrapped in blue lace silk ribbon. It seemed as though the joints of his fingers were somewhat white.

Cathryn stood in front of the door with her eyes fixed on the square box in his hand, sniffing loudly, and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?" Her first words were to ask who he was. That really surprised Keith, but at the same time, he had some understanding as to why.

The day he met Cathryn, she was utterly drunk, and he had also known that she had been drugged. So she certainly hadn't seen his appearance clearly.

"Did she remember or have any recollection of that night," Keith wondered. She may not know who he is now, but Keith knew that they would have a long time to get to know each other.

When Keith put his work aside and hurried back to the bar to find that Cathryn had left, Keith felt lost. When Keith returned to the company, he immediately asked Jeremy to use all his power to investigate the truth of what really happened that night. After a careful investigation, he overheard a group of wealthy people gossiping about what went on that night.

Jeremy confronted the young people, and they trembled with fear. They kept telling Jeremy that they were not familiar with Cathryn. He finally got the truth out of them when he threatened them. He said to them that he would call their parents, one of them, whose name was Abigail, told the truth.

It turned out that Cathryn was conned into going to the bar by Abigail that evening. She told him how she gave her the pill and how they got her to drink the wine. Cathryn was totally at their mercy. Like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They didn't expect that Joel was taking Cathryn to the room he had booked, and Cathryn accidentally would bump into Keith and make a scene.

"Sometimes, fate was so beautiful; although we only spent one short night together, you couldn't forget me, could you?" Keith was getting fidgety, he wanted her to remember the night that they spent together. He wanted her to feel the same way that he felt.

Keith's handsome appearance was more charming, and his voice was low and magnetic, like a glass of old, luscious red wine, making people feel like they were intoxicated. Cathryn's eyes gradually widened, and she looked at Keith.

Keith looked down at Cathryn's hand and saw the pregnancy test in her hand.

His eyes suddenly lit up. His brown eyes were more transparent, he tried to restrain himself, but he blurted out, "Are you pregnant?"

Hearing these words, all the grievances came to Cathryn in an instant. Cathryn didn't know how to describe her complicated mood when she looked at the biological father of her child standing in front of her. She could feel her eyes getting sour, and her throat tickled. The man reached for the pregnancy stick in her hand, and Cathryn's tears flowed down suddenly like a flood.

Keith had never dealt with such a situation like this before, but he felt his heart ache as if it had been cut by a knife when Cathryn cried. "Don't cry, I will take care of you," he coaxed her quickly.

Be responsible for her? How would he be responsible for her? What was he going to do, marry her?

She didn't want to marry him. She didn't even know him. Then she thought that maybe he would ask her to have an abortion? No, it was impossible! Cathryn thought.

Cathryn cried hysterically, and the man did not know how to comfort her. He decided that he had to hold her in his arms. He wrapped her shoulders with his big and powerful hands. When the man's warm breath surrounded Cathryn, she felt unprecedented peace of mind.

"How... How can you prove that it was you who spent the night with me that night?"Cathryn asked in a whisper. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and she stood at the door to stop him from entering, for she was undecided whether she should let him in. She had to make sure it was him that she was with that night.

"You were sick to your stomach and got it all over me, and then your male companion ran away, leaving you there. Finally, I took you to a room that was temporarily booked," stated Keith in a flat tone. "Besides, it may be presumptuous to speak out, but I still have to say that you have a red birthmark an inch below your navel, and it is round in shape," said Keith.

She was now entirely sure that the man of that night was him. Indeed, Cathryn's birthmark was an inch below her navel, which was also her sensitive place. So it is evident that the man observed her carefully enough to know these intimate things about her.

Closing the door, Keith accompanied Cathryn to the sofa. Cathryn had calmed down, but she was still sobbing. Keith opened the square box, and a beautiful cake embellished with lemon appeared in front of Cathryn.

Cathryn immediately stopped sobbing and looked at the lemon cake. She was famished. Her eyes were red and swollen, but she could not take her eyes off the cake. Keith gave her an amusing look and cut off a piece of cake for her. He put it in a paper tray and handed it to her.

Cathryn had not eaten any breakfast the previous morning, so she didn't refuse. She took the cake from his hand and put it into her mouth. Seeing her enjoy the cake, Keith cut another piece of cake for her and set it aside. She kept her head down while she was eating the cake. She was too embarrassed to look at Keith.

After entering the house, Keith discretely looked Cathryn's home up and down. Her home was very cozy. There were three rooms and one hall. The number of rooms was just right though the space was not very big. The living room was fully furnished and was piled up with some handmade items. There were two teacup mats on the table, each with a green teacup on each mat, which seemed to be a pair of a couple's carpet. Carefully looking around at other places, Keith found that there were no traces of two people living together except the teacups.

Then he fixed his eyes on Cathryn again. "What are you going to do about the child? Are you going to have an abortion?" Seeing that she ate in a hurry, Keith poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. Hearing his words, Cathryn was choked by the water and began to cough violently.

Keith was sitting on the sofa next to Cathryn, but he still stretched out his hand to gently pat Cathryn on the back without hesitation. He was trying to help her to relieve her cough.

"No," Cathryn's red and swollen eyes were filled with blood again because of her cough. Her eyes were now full of firmness, "I won't have an abortion." After she finished saying that, she began to cough again. Gently patting Cathryn on the back, Keith was so satisfied with her answer that his suspended heart finally let go.

Though he was considerate of any decision that Cathryn might make, he still hoped that she would give birth to their child.

"Well," Keith forced himself to calm down and replied, "I don't recommend abortion either. Anyway, I have an unavoidable responsibility for your pregnancy. Therefore, it is my duty as a father to the child to let him not suffer any grievances."

In the entertainment circle, Cathryn had seen a lot of unknown actresses, who got pregnant and wanted to marry into wealthy families, but unfortunately, some of them got no luck from their children's fathers, they had to choose abortion in the end.

Cathryn was in shock. She couldn't believe that Keith took the initiative to ask to take responsibility for her and her child. In the entertainment world, she had never seen this happen. She wondered, who was Keith?

"During your pregnancy, I will stay with you and take care of you until the baby is born. After you have the baby, there are two choices, and you can pick any one of them. Whatever you choose, I will respect your decision." Keith said slowly and patiently.

He saw Cathryn staring at him with her big eyes, and he could not help himself. He reached over to rub her hair. "In the first case, after the child is born, if you want to raise the child alone, I will provide enough alimony and compensation for you until the child is old enough. If you don't want to raise the child, I will bring up the child, and I will arrange regular meetings between you and the child according to what you want. I promise not to let the child lack the love of either side of both parents."

"This is my child. I will raise the child by myself." Cathryn had always been very firm about the problems of other children's custody battles. No matter how hard the future may be, the child will be raised by her. "What about the second choice?" Realizing that she was too excited just now, Cathryn bit her lower lip lightly and asked in a low voice.

Her cheeks were slightly red, even her earlobes were somewhat flushed because of all the excitement. She lowered her head and looked at the floor shyly.

She was so beautiful and charming, Keith thought.

"In the second case...." Keith paused, and it wasn't until Cathryn looked up at his eyes that he smiled and went on, "We can get married and bring up the child together."

After making sure that she did not mishear, Cathryn was too shocked to say a word.

Cathryn instantly stood up from the sofa in horror. "Get married. He must be crazy. Why would he say something like that?" She thought to herself. Cathryn could not hide her feelings from Keith. She was terrified and shocked.

Keith knew that his words frightened her. He was very discouraged, and he immediately concealed his disappointed look. He gave Cathryn a reassuring smile and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just the second choice, and whatever decision you make, I will respect your wishes."

Of course, Cathryn was scared by his words. She had just come out of a marriage that was unsuccessful. The thoughts of getting married again made her cringe. Her divorce was an isolating and traumatic experience. After her divorce, she had no choice but to learn how to take care of herself and be okay with being alone. She even went on a few dates, even though she was still in love with Jordan. She did not want to get married once again so recklessly.

No one can see through another person's heart, and no one can know what the future will hold. We have to make our own destiny. She was trying to keep her perspective and remember what was important, but Cathryn's mind was racing from one thought to another. She felt so alone. So many promises have been broken. First, there was Jordan, who she truly believed was in love with her, only to find out he lied to her. In return, all he wanted was to be in control and to control her.

Then there was Keith, a man she barely even knew. Yet somehow, she felt safe when he was around. He has repeatedly shown that he cares, understands, and is devoted to making Cathryn happy. She didn't know what to do. She had so much to think about.

Cathryn's mind was blank. She looked at Keith and saw his amazing smile, and then she could feel her heart gradually relax. Cathryn sat down on the sofa, and Keith took out a tissue and handed it to her. "There is the cream on the corner of your mouth," he reminded Cathryn.

Cathryn quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and then held the tissue in her hand tightly. Looking at Keith with her bright eyes, she said, "Let me think about it for a few days, and I will call you when I have made a decision."
