Chapter 267:
Kailey felt dizzy from his kisses, her eyes turning glassy and lost in a haze. “Not going on with it?” Her voice had turned hoarse. “Over there p>
To Kyson, her words were as bold as an open invitation. He let out a soft laugh close to her ear, making sure to shield her head from the sharp edge behind the couch.
Kailey snapped back to herself, flushing with a mix of embarrassment and irritation. “Why are you laughing at me p>
“It’s nothing. You’re just too cute p>
He left it at that, his gentle eyes never leaving hers as he leaned down to pick up the kiss where they had left off. He kept his feelings to himself, not letting on how much the moment meant to him. Even without taking things further, his heart raced wildly just from being close to her.
The lighting in the room seemed made for this — soft and perfect. Kyson kept Kailey close, kissing her and pulling her gently upward so she leaned into him.

“Lights.” Kailey felt like she might burst into flames at any second. Catching his intense stare, she quickly raised her hand to cover his eyes and repeated, “Turn the lights off p>
Kyson smiled. “Sure.” He pulled her along with him as he moved toward the switch, guiding her to step up onto his feet.
In that moment, the room felt entirely theirs, wrapped in gentle warmth and quiet affection.
Right as the mood reached its peak, Kyson spotted a faint strip of white light creeping in from the doorway. The door hadn’t been closed all the way, and the glow from the hallway cast two unmistakable shadowy figures against the floor.
Unbelievable.
Kyson’s brow furrowed. He turned, pressing Kailey’s head against his chest, and spoke with rare irritation. “Mom p>
Both silhouettes at the doorway stiffened at the same instant, then awkwardly straightened their posture, each giving the other a timid shove as if volunteering the other to step forward. Irene, lacking Karol’s composure, plastered on an embarrassed grin. “We were only walking past. Please, don’t mind us. Just keep doing whatever you were doing p>
Heat bloomed across Kailey’s cheeks as she stayed tucked against Kyson’s solid chest, unwilling to move an inch. Brighter light spilled in from the doorway, tracing the sharp lines of his striking features with a warm sheen.
Despite their claim that they were leaving, not a single footstep followed. The two indistinct shadows simply slid a little to the side, drifting from the center of the hallway until they were pressed flat against the wall.
A slow breath left Kyson’s lips as his palm came down in a gentle, reassuring pat on Kailey’s head. Kailey, who tried to lift her head, instinctively burrowed right back against him.
Quiet air drifted through the corridor while Irene and Karol shamelessly strained to catch every faint sound.
With her shoulder glued to the wall, Irene leaned closer. “Did you catch anything p>
Karol copied the pose beside her, tilting her head toward the room before giving a small, helpless shake. “Not a sound. They might’ve drifted off already p>
