Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO

Chapter 45 Feeling Attached to Her Job

Jeffrey didn’t expect Kerwin to react like that.

He thought Kerwin would be furious and cut ties with Betty.

However, he didn’t even care about the photos. Or maybe he didn’t doubt Betty’s character at all.

Thinking of that, Jeffrey felt tight in his chest.

Why did Kerwin trust Betty so much? And was it more than a one-night stand between the two of

them?

Jeffrey had been in a relationship with Betty for many years. However, when he saw these photos, he thought Betty was a flirtatious woman without thinking.

Is it because I don’t trust her enough?

When this thought came to his mind, Jeffrey was distracted and forced himself not to think that

way.

Since he had photos to prove his point, how could he have misunderstood her?

That’s only because Kerwin doesn’t care about Betty at all, so he doesn’t mind what kind of person she is.

“Jeffrey, you seem to be very interested in my wife.” At that moment, Kerwin suddenly spoke, interrupting Jeffrey’s thoughts.

Jeffrey’s body stiffened.

When he looked up at Kerwin, Jeffrey suddenly realized that he was like a clown.

Although Kerwin was in a wheelchair, he looked domineering and graceful.

Jeffrey suddenly remembered that his father had mentioned Kerwin to him several times. Moreover, his arrogant father even told Jeffrey that if Kerwin had no disability, he was no match for Kerwin.

Then Jeffrey had mixed feelings.

He used to think he was a golden boy, but he realized that he was no match for Kerwin.

Although he did not understand why he had to compare with Kerwin, his realization upset him.

He sneered. “Are you just a little concerned about her? Kerwin, you probably don’t know that Betty was with me when she was in college.”

Jeffrey deliberately said in a flirtatious tone. It seemed as if he wanted to provoke Kerwin.

However, Jeffrey’s words angered Kerwin.

Soon, Kerwin clenched his hands as he sneered. “Is that so?”

His cold and angry tone sent shivers down Jeffrey’s spine.

Jeffrey then realized he seemed to have gone too far. He blushed, then said in a gentle tone, “Kerwin, don’t take it personally. She’s just a woman. I’m only asking because I’m worried your wife will be upset when she finds out about Betty.”

The identity of Kerwin’s new wife was also very mysterious.

It was said that Jeffrey’s grandfather was bent on having a daughter of an influential family as Kerwin’s wife. And his father was originally worried that Kerwin’s marriage would bring him power, but he didn’t

expect Kerwin to suddenly say he was already married to a girl from an ordinary family.

Although Jeffrey had been back home for a while, he hadn’t met Kerwin’s wife yet.

Kerwin gave Jeffrey a sidelong glance and remained silent.

Jeffrey realized he was talking a little too much and looked a little embarrassed. Then he said, “I have received an anonymous e-mail.”

“Anonymous?” repeated Kerwin.

Jeffrey nodded and said, “Kerwin, don’t blame me for talking too much. Betty is flirtatious, and she has a bad reputation at the office, so don’t—”.

“Jeffrey,” Kerwin interrupted Jeffrey and said in an unpleasant tone. “Don’t you realize that you’ve crossed the line?”

Jeffrey said, “I’m sorry, Kerwin.”

“Well, Jeffrey, if you don’t have anything else to say to me, I will go home.” Kerwin straightened his collar and said, “My wife is still waiting for me at home.”

He said as he wheeled out of the Icafe. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When Kerwin returned to the car and sat down, Peter, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt that the atmosphere in the car was very heavy today.

“Peter,” Kerwin suddenly said. “Any progress on what I asked you to investigate last time!”

Peter flinched for a moment before he responded, “Are you talking about the incident that happened to Mrs. Martin two years ago?”

“Yes.”

“It’s been a bit long since that happened, so I still need more time to look into it.”

“You go check a recent email Jeffrey received that has something to do with that incident.”

“Okay. I got it.”

Kerwin’s fingers tapped on the armrest of his wheelchair, and his eyes clouded over.

If someone dared to set Betty up, then he would never spare that person.

When Kerwin saw Jeffrey walking out of Icafe, his eyes turned even colder.

He had heard that Jeffrey had no more feelings for Betty and seemed to be getting married soon.

However, it seemed that Jeffrey was a little overly concerned about Betty’s relationship with Kerwin.

Then Kerwin sneered.

And he didn’t think he’d ever be jealous of his nephew.

Meanwhile, Betty didn’t even know how she was going to get through the day.

When it was time to get off work, she couldn’t wait to leave the office.

Betty didn’t expect to see Jeffrey when she went back home, for he usually came home late. Kerwin was already waiting for her in the living room.

“Where are Maria and James?” Betty tried not to let Kerwin see that she was in a bad mood. Then

she took off her shoes and walked into the living room.

“I gave them the day off.” Since there was no one else in the house, Kerwin got up from his wheelchair and took the dishes out of the kitchen. “Dinner is ready. Let’s eat.”

Betty rubbed her red eyes, nodded, and walked to the dining room.

During the dinner, Betty and Kerwin were both preoccupied and remained silent.

Then Kerwin finished his dinner first and said in a lower voice, “Betty, have you considered a new

job?”

Betty didn’t expect Kerwin to bring this up and froze for a moment. “Why do you want me to change my job?”

Looking at Betty, Kerwin said, “Your company is too far from home, and the pay is average. You can find a better company to work for.”

Betty knew that no matter what industry she was in, she would have a higher salary if she jumped ship. If it weren’t for her mother’s illness, she might have gone to work for another company.

However, her mom’s monthly medical bills were so expensive that she couldn’t afford to change to a new job.

And she couldn’t tell Kerwin what was on her mind, so she pursed her lips and said, “Forget it. I’m very pleased with my job. I feel attached to it.”

Kerwin suddenly clenched his hand as he said, “You feel attached to it?”
