Chapter 342:
Warm amber light spilled across Kyson’s sharp features as he rubbed his chin. A faint, icy chuckle slipped from his lips, though the reason behind it remained impossible to read.
He closed the image, returned to the home screen, and dialed an international number.
“I need you to look into someone,” he said.
“Who is it p>
“Merritt Calderon. I want a full report—his contacts, his recent movements, and whether he’s stepped outside Ustuijan p>
A brief silence stretched across the line before the other party replied, “The Blake family does have connections with him, but those go back to the older generation. Why are you digging into him now p>
“No particular reason,” Kyson answered in a low, steady voice. “Just check whether he’s ever crossed paths with the Evans family in Jucridge p>
So it was because of Kailey.
A quiet laugh slipped through the receiver. “Kyson, you’re falling hard this time p>
The call ended just like that.

Completely unfazed, Kyson lowered the phone and fired off a message to Devin.
Recent events had made one thing impossible to ignore—someone was inching into Kailey’s world with deliberate patience, and that threatening note had even attempted to forbid their marriage. Why? The answer no longer mattered, because they were already married. No stray warning or absurd claim could shake the life they had already sealed together.
What truly mattered was Kailey’s safety. Another abduction—no matter how remote the risk—could never be allowed to happen again.
Kyson instructed Devin to contact Fantasy Fusion and secure a team of elite bodyguards, arranging for Kailey to have a personal escort beginning the very next day.
Devin blinked in surprise. “So I’m basically her assistant now? Mr. Blake, what will you do without me p>
A sharp chill edged Kyson’s tone. “Does that sound amusing to you p>
“Of course not.” Devin straightened at once, his grin fading. “I’ll handle it immediately p>
When Kailey heard the arrangement, she offered no resistance, though Devin soon found himself stretched thin, balancing her protection with his already overflowing workload.
Days slipped by in an unexpectedly tranquil rhythm, more than ten passing without incident. Meanwhile, Irene moved efficiently through her final preparations, and before long, they settled on a specific date to return to Jucridge together.
Irene had carefully chosen presents for everyone in the Owen family—except for Ryan.
“Ryan doesn’t seem much older than you, does he?” she asked. “I honestly have no idea what he likes. I wouldn’t even know what gift would suit him p>
Kailey knew nothing would truly satisfy Ryan. After a brief pause, she replied, “Irene, you’ve already done more than enough. Kyson and I will handle Ryan’s gift ourselves p>
“All right then. You two definitely know him better than I do.” Relief softened Irene’s expression. She made her way upstairs and began packing.
Kyson was still tied up at the company and hadn’t come home yet. After neatly arranging everything they needed to bring, Kailey lowered herself onto the couch, fingers loosely intertwined, her thoughts drifting far away.
