Chapter 411:
After rinsing his hands, Kyson stepped out and caught the oddly pleased expression lingering on her face. Arching a skeptical brow, he pulled out a chair with lazy composure and settled into it. “Nothing you want to say p>
“Well…” Straightening her spine in mild panic, Kailey assumed her tiny mischief had been discovered and muttered under her breath, “I was just appreciating. You’re so petty p>
“What?” Blinking in confusion, Kyson tilted his head. “What exactly are you talking about p>
“Your butt p>

Mid-sentence, embarrassment struck her like a sudden jolt. Kailey abruptly realized he might not have been talking about that at all, and heat crept up her neck as she wondered why she had blurted it out.
Quiet surprise glinted in Kyson’s alluring eyes, betraying how unexpected her boldness had been.
Kailey quickly shoved a bite of potato between her lips, warmth blooming across her cheeks in an unmistakable blush. Every so often she peeked up at him, her bright gaze half-inviting him to continue yet silently warning him to keep his mouth shut at the same time.
A chuckle slipped from Kyson as he rubbed the bridge of his brow and placed a tender piece of rib onto her plate. “I assumed you’d already seen what was online p>
He had planned to bring it up once he returned home, but watching her act perfectly at ease, he figured she had already soothed her own worries.
After a brief pause, Kailey lifted her eyes to meet his and murmured, “Yeah.” So that was what he was asking about.
“At the beginning, it really got to me.” Her chin dipped, voice barely above a whisper. “But you sent Max to stay with me, didn’t you? And you even made that post online. Somehow, I started to feel a lot better p>
Wrapped in such open protection and quiet devotion, Kailey felt a deep, steady contentment bloom in her chest. The rumors and cruel gossip lost their sting — the fault lay with those spreading them, not with her.
A gentle smile unfolded across Kyson’s face, the tension melting from his features as he leaned closer and ruffled her hair with an affectionate hand. “That’s my girl p>
Once dinner ended, Kyson headed into the kitchen and began washing the dishes. Sinking into the couch, Kailey drew in a steady breath, unlocked her phone, and opened Twitter.
Instead of the vicious insults that had flooded her screen that afternoon, gentle blessings and supportive messages now appeared one after another. Even more unexpectedly, Ryan had updated his account.
Displayed in calm black text, his post read: “Kindness given freely asks for nothing in return. Kailey is already married, and I have a girlfriend. Please choose your words with care p>
For several quiet seconds, Kailey simply watched the glowing screen, her slim fingertips hovering before drifting into the comment section. Some users accused Ryan of putting on an act, while others offered sincere comfort and open admiration. Not a single reply came from him.
A crease formed between her brows as the thought surfaced — had he written that message before coming to see her?
