Chapter 178 - Cath, My Sweet Wifey

The following day, Cathy woke up and stretched her muscles still with her eyes closed. She remembered last night's event, and her smile widened. Her hands stretched out to the side, rubbing the empty mattress.

Cathy opened her eyes and blinked in confusion. Where did her husband go? She got up, went out of her bedroom, and walked downstairs to see an empty room with no one there.

She saw that the bottles of drinks and dirty dishes were still scattered on the dining table. Then she heard someone snoring, who turned out to be one of the people she just met yesterday sleeping in an irregular pose on the floor. 

His body would be in pain as soon as he woke up. Thought Cathy silently.

Cathy peeked in several places and found no sign of human movement. It looks like no one has woken up yet at this time. What time is it? Cathy glanced at the clock, which was still showing five o'clock in the morning.

Finally, Cathy decided to go back to her room to reach for her new phone and call someone. Just as she pressed the screen to contact the person she was looking for, Cathy heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Only then did she understand that the person she was looking for was taking a shower.

Cathy returned to sit on the bed, covered her feet with the blanket. For some reason, she suddenly felt cold. Then she played a game on her new smartphone while waiting.

Who knows how long she waited until the bathroom door opened. Cathy immediately stopped the game to greet her husband, who just came out of the bathroom.

However, when she saw the muscular muscles and six perfect shapes on her husband's stomach, she couldn't find her voice. Vincent turned around only so that Cathy could see her husband's broad and sturdy back. 

This was her first time looking at her shirtless hubby. He looked sexy and tantalizing after taking a shower made her swallow nervously.

Luckily the man didn't see her because Vincent was busy wiping his wet hair with a towel. Most of Vincent's face was covered by the towel, so he wouldn't even notice that Cathy was awake and feasting at his manly figure.

Her face was getting hotter when she noticed her husband basically naked and only wrapped in a towel to cover his bottom.

Cathy's gaze seemed to be attracted like a magnet and followed every movement that her husband made.

Now the man with his back against her used one hand to wipe his hair while the other hand checked his phone. Suddenly the man's hand stopped and spoke without turning his body.

"Fancy with what you look at?"

Cathy gasped at that and immediately laid down, pretending to sleep. She was sure that Vincent had not seen her wake up, so she could only pretend to go back to sleep and not forget to hide her whole head under the thick blanket.

"I know you already awake, Cath." marveled the man, making Cathy couldn't stop her pounding heart.

Why did that man call out her new endearment name in a seductive voice?

"I... I didn't look at you. You're mistaken." Cathy's heart rustled even louder at the small chuckle of her super mischief husband.

"Looks like you've forgotten who I am?"

Unconsciously Cathy closed her eyes and gripped the blanket to keep her face hidden as she heard her husband's voice getting closer.

"I could still feel someone watching me even without looking. You sure do know who your husband is, Cath."

It was as if Cathy's heart stopped when the bed swayed, indicating someone was sitting next to her.

"Cath, my sweet wifey," the person tried to persuade her to open the blanket, "You don't want to see me again? Hm?" His tone teased her even more to the point she couldn't breathe and act like a scaredy-cat.

How come this husband of hers never stopped teasing her? It had been a year since they had seen each other, but this person's level of teasing had increased drastically.

"I didn't see you. Go away!" remarked Cathy in a sulking tone.

"Are you sure you want me to go?" then Vincent took Cathy's hand from under the blanket and brought her closer to him. "You don't want to touch me first?"

Aaaaa!!!! Cathy screamed to herself. She would lose her mind if this guy didn't stop teasing her. Either out of curiosity or she could not pull her hand, Cathy let her husband lead her hand to touch something. Her heart was beating even faster as she felt her hand touch something hard and could feel the man's heartbeat. Apparently, Vincent's heart rhythm was no less fast than hers.

Cathy felt she was crazy trying to move her fingers to feel the man's body muscles. But... strange. Why does his skin felt weird?

Wait a minute, something is wrong. Why does it feel like she is touching a cloth?

Cathy immediately opened the blanket covering her face, and no one could measure how shocked she was. It turned out that her super-duper mischief husband was already wearing a complete outfit and was now looking at her with a seductive and playful look... very typical of her husband.

"VINCENT!! You're so annoying!" grumbled Cathy, trying to pull her hand, making Vincent gave a burst of hearty laughter.

Second, later, his palms resting on the bed trapping Cathy's head made her blood rushed to her head once again. Without warning, Vincent gave her a short kiss on the forehead, followed by another kiss on the right and left cheeks, making Cathy's face even redder like a boiled crab.

Vincent could not take his eyes off and be amazed to see the beauty of the woman he loved increased dramatically with a flushed face. Vincent brought his face back to Cathy's face slowly while Cathy closed her eyes, waiting for something.

Seeing that Cathy's eyes had closed first, Vincent reviewed his smile and brought his face closer to the face of the woman he loved so much. Cathy even began to feel the breath of the man above her. Her heart was running wild, and she couldn't wait for something to happen.

Even though they had kissed many times last night, Cathy's heart was still beating fast, as if this was her first kiss with her husband.

When their lips almost met, suddenly someone opened the door and barged in. The unexpected burst was followed by Barneys' voice, making Vincent stop his intention of kissing Cathy.

"Boss, did you know..." Barneys immediately stopped his sentence when he saw the intimate position of the newlyweds.

Barneys nervously turned and swallowed hard.

"Ah, I'm sorry... I forgot that you were married, but that doesn't mean I'm guilty if the door suddenly opened. You should have locked the door last night." Barneys tried to explain to ease his boss's murderous look.

"I'm quite sure I locked it last night."

Once again, Barneys swallowed nervously at the chairman's cold tone.

"Uhm... I think it's my fault."

Vincent looked at Cathy in confusion.

"I was looking for you on the ground floor. I think I forgot to lock it when I got back," explained Cathy in a low voice.

"Well, that means it's not my fault, right boss?" was the confident remark from the young man.

"Until when will you be standing there?"

"Ah, my fault. Please continue." Barneys' hand tried to reach the doorknob without looking back, then immediately ran as the door closed tightly.

Vincent shook his head in resignation to see the behavior of one of his members, who were only twenty years old. Meanwhile, Cathy just smiled amusedly at Vincent's expression that she had never seen before.

"Looks like he really admires you."

Vincent kissed her lips without warning. "How about you? Do you admire me too?"

"You already know the answer," Cathy crouched, making Vincent laugh again. Then his face came back closer to kiss his wife again.

It seems that his wife's lips have become addictive to him. Unfortunately... just as the lips were about to touch, there was a loud knock on his door. Vincent dropped his head next to Cathy's head when he heard the same disturbing voice. Cathy giggled slightly, seeing her husband's behavior.

"Boss, I was just about to say... they came to pick her up. Did you know they came so early in the morning to shock us all? Are we going to take Catherine in secret or tell them we will take her? Or should we let them pick her up?"

Vincent rolled his eyes lazily to realize Barneys was more talkative than usual. Meanwhile, Cathy frowned in disbelief at this. Who's coming? Who did they pick up? Will she be separated from Vincent again?

"Vincent, did they come to pick me up? Does that mean I have to part with you again? I don't..." she couldn't finish her words when she felt something in her neck. "Vin.... Vincent!"
