50% His Personal Bed Partner (To Love and To Cherish) / Chapter 39: Her grandmother

Chapter 39: Her grandmother

Christopher was sitting on the couch in the living room, with Kaylee's head resting on his lap, when Liam arrived holding a blue envelope.

The moment Christopher met his eyes, he immediately understood what was in that envelope. He caressed her hair and looked at her. "Hey, can you sit up?"

Kaylee blinked as he looked at the man. "Okay!" she said as she sat up straight on the couch.

Christopher smiled and stood up. He looked at Liam. "On my study room." When he said that, Kaylee stood up.

Christopher looked at her and held her shoulder. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Stay here, okay? We're just going to discuss something."

Kaylee nodded and sat back on the couch. She sighed as she looked at the disappearing figure of the two men.

Inside the study room. Christopher sat in his swivel chair and Liam sat on the chair in front of him. Liam placed the envelope on the table in front of them.

"They're cousins," Liam said as Christopher opened the envelope.

There are different pictures in the blue envelope.

"Kaylee's parents and her uncle, who is Aria's father, died in a car accident when she was four. After that accident, her grandmother took care of her." Liam shows Christopher the picture of Kaylee's aunt.

"Based on what I've found out. After that Aria and her mother told Kaylee that her grandmother died, and they didn't treat Kaylee well. She can't find a decent job because she was told to do all the household chores and they don't let them use the computer. They even told the guards not to let her leave the house." Liam said while looking at Christopher.

Christopher frowned as his grip on the picture tightened. "How did she end up passing her resume to us?"

Liam knew Christopher was already in a bad mood. He sighed. "I am guessing that Kaylee sneaked out that night. That Aria and her Mother were on a vacation at that time."

Christopher let out a deep sigh. He massaged his temple and looked again at Liam. He needed Kaylee right now before he could do anything bad. "Anything else?"

Liam stayed silent for seconds. "The thing is... Kaylee's grandmother is still alive."

Christopher turned his head to Liam. "What?" He cleared his throat, "Where is she then?"

Liam took out another picture and let Christopher see it. "She's at the hospital. She's suffering from heart disease. I heard she needed emergency treatment, but her family just left her there. The hospital tried to reach out to her family, but failed."

Christopher opened his table's drawer and took his check. "Pay for her treatment. I want you to visit her from time to time. Wait— how did you get this information?"

Liam smiled. "I said, Kaylee, asked me to check her grandmother, and guess what they've said?"

Christopher glared at him. "Just say it!"

"You must be Miss Kaylee's husband?"

Christopher raised his right eyebrow. "And I said, my boss, is." Liam continued.

"Why did they think Kaylee has a husband?" Christopher asked while massaging his temple. He can't take this anymore.

"They said that's what Kaylee's aunt said to her grandmother. They even said that her aunt told her Kaylee wouldn't be coming because she ran away from home and married someone they didn't know."

Christopher stood up and walked toward the door. "Transfer her to a big hospital and make sure she's going to recover." He said before leaving the study room.

Chapter 40: Mixed feeling

Kaylee turned her head when she heard footsteps behind her. She stood up and walked toward Christopher. Kaylee was taken aback when he suddenly hugged her tight. She patted the man's back. "What's wrong?"

Christopher didn't say a word he just hugged her like that. Behind him was Liam. Kaylee looked at Liam with a questioning look. He just smiled and gave her a gesture that he would leave.

She caressed Christopher's back. "Hey, you okay?" His hug tightened. She sighed and pulled away. She held his face with both hands and looked directly into his eyes. "What's wrong? I heard you shout earlier."

He held her hand, kissed her forehead, and looked at her as he kissed her hands.

"Tell me, please." Kaylee looked at him with a gentle gaze.

He smiled as she kissed her hands once again. He let go of her hand and held her face and gave her a kiss on her nose. "It's nothing."

Kaylee placed her hands on her waist. "If it's about work, it's fine. But remember that you just finished your work for the whole week, don't stress yourself too much. You need to have your break too, you know."

Christopher took Kaylee's hands and wrapped her arms around his neck. He gave her a short kiss on her lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Yes, boss."

Kaylee hugged him tight. "You're my boss."

--

Inside their room. Christopher was lying on the bed and looking at Kaylee with his right hand under his head. He caressed her hair with his left hand, while she was beside him in the prone position with a book in her hand.

His mind was a mess. Everything that he found out was unforgivable. He can't believe that the lovely and cheerful woman beside him went through that kind of life.

Kaylee smiled while still looking at the book. "Are you done staring at me?" She asked.

Christopher laughed. "Not yet."

Kaylee closed the book and placed it on the bedside table. She put her chin on her hand as she looked at Christopher. "What do you want? Do you have something to say?"

Christopher shook his head. "No."

Kaylee nodded. "Okay." She said as she placed her head into Christopher's chest.

Christopher caressed her hair and grinned. "Kiss me, then."

Kaylee blinked. She lifted her head and looked at him, puzzled. "Huh?"

"Since we were both tired and I can't have you, just kiss me. Kiss me until I'm satisfied." Christopher said while trying to stop himself from smiling.

Kaylee hit him on the shoulder. "Stop playing around."

Christopher held her hand, "I'm serious Kayl, kiss me."

Kaylee raised her eyebrow. "Until you're satisfied?"

Christopher laughed. "Just kiss me." He said as he pouted his lips.

Kaylee bit her lower lip and moved closer to him. She pressed her lips against his. Christopher smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist as he responded to her kiss.

When Kaylee pulled away, Christopher looked at her. "Should we do it?"

Kaylee blushed. "You should take a rest for now okay? We can do it anytime, have some rest first."

 

Christopher smiled. "Anytime?"

Kaylee blinked. She bit her lower lip and looked away. "I mean..."

Christopher hugged her and kissed her head. "What will you do if I say that I like you?"

Kaylee looked at Christopher in shock. "W-what did you say?"

Christopher tucked her hair behind her ears, "Why? I can't? You don't want me to?"

Kaylee blinked. "No, it's not like that. I..." She nervously looked directly into his eyes. "Do you like me?" Her heartbeat started to beat faster.

Christopher looked at her held her face and gave her a short kiss. He hugged her and caressed her hair. "Let's sleep."

Kaylee pouted. She pushed Christopher away and turned her back to him. "Sleep your face."

Christopher smiled and hugged her from behind. "I'm going to treat you well, I'm willing to do anything just to protect you. I. I just found out something, I just found out how your family treated you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask Liam to investigate you, I just. I want to know."

Kaylee was speechless. She didn't want him to know that side of her. She's ashamed. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. Her tears started to fall down from her eyes. Christopher buried his face into her neck as his hug tightened. He knew that she was crying and he knew this would happen if he told her.

"I know, I should have asked you instead. I'm sorry. I didn't know. I just happened to see how your cousin treated you when she saw you on the first floor, that's why I asked Liam. I can't stand seeing you being treated that way. I guess that answers your question. If you still want a certain answer, yes, I like you. I think so. You knew I hated commitments. But if it's you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Christopher breathe deeply. " Can you forgive me? Can you promise me, you're not going to leave me? You don't have to like me back, stay with me. Okay?"

Kaylee covered her mouth with her hands. Her tears kept falling from her eyes, she had a mixed feeling right now. She was speechless. She felt that there was something wet on her neck.

Christopher tightened his hug and bit his lower lip, "I. I'm sorry."

Kaylee sobbed. "A-are you crying?"

"I'm sorry!"
