Chapter 66 Harry Kisses Catherine Reluctantly
Michelle lowered her head and glanced at the message Keith sent.
She learned that Tony Murphy, the boss of Auron Biotech, would be at Luxe in Hearthvale that night. She then called a number and instructed someone to spread rumors about Catherine in the club.
At Luxe, a nightclub in Hearthvale, Tony had drunk a lot and stepped out to use the restroom. As he passed by a private room with its door left slightly ajar, he overheard the conversation
inside.
“Hey, did you hear about Quinn Group’s heiress? She was fooling around and got pregnant. Rumor has it she doesn’t even know who the father is.”
“Of course I know. The Quinn family’s gone downhill, and their heiress is out there, selling herself now. I have to admit. She’s got an amazing body. Just thinking about it gets me hard.”
“Who knows? Maybe the kid in her belly is mine!”
The voices overlapped inside, everyone talking over one another about all sorts of things.
Yet Tony caught a few key words-things like pregnancy, selling herself for trying to latch onto the Zimmermans with a baby whose father’s unknown.
Tony sobered up for a moment. As he listened, an idea began to take shape.
money, and
He had seen Catherine before. Back when his company collaborated with Quinn Group, she had been about 18 years old, strikingly pretty, and clearly well-brought-up.
He could hardly believe that in just a few years, Catherine had fallen so far. Still, he found himself wondering what she might be like in his arms.
Meanwhile, at the Zimmerman residence, Harry was done entertaining the guests and had drunk quite a bit. He staggered toward Catherine’s room.
Catherine was still in the same position as when Harry had left. He stumbled forward until he was standing right in front of her.
He crouched down, and there was no trace of coldness in his eyes now that he was drunk. Instead, his face was tinged with a faint flush.
Catherine didn’t want to see Harry, so she turned away.

Chapter 68 Harry Kisses Catherine Reluctantly
272
This wasn’t the first time Harry got drunk, and at times like this, he always became much gentler. His desire would grow even stronger too.
“What are you crying for?” he asked.
Harry’s voice was low and irresistibly sensual. He looked down at Catherine and brushed the tear from the corner of her eye with his thumb.
He dropped to one knee and leaned in to kiss her lips, but Catherine turned her head, and his kiss brushed against her cheek instead.
A flicker of displeasure crossed Harry’s face as he gripped her chin and pressed his mouth against hers. Only then did he let her go, finally looking satisfied.
What little reason he had left pushed him to speak. “I won’t touch you. I know you’re pregnant.
Catherine went rigid, hardly daring to move. She was afraid that any sign of resistance might only fuel Harry’s desire.
Harry pressed his palm to her belly. He could only feel a slight bump, and there was no other
response.
He slowly rested his head against her belly, listening to the heartbeat beneath her skin. He had never imagined that he and Catherine would have a child together.
Catherine had been tolerating Harry’s closeness all along, but when his face drew near, she finally couldn’t hold back and pushed him away. “You should go get some rest,” she said.
