Chapter 423:
She had expected him to refuse so she could tease him for buying something he wouldn’t drink. Instead, the traffic light ahead turned red, and he pressed the brakes. Without hesitation, he guided her hand closer and drank from nearly the same spot she had used. Then, as if that weren’t enough, he slowly ran his tongue over his lips — a deliberate motion that made her heart skip.
“Hm.” His gaze was fixed on her, deep and suggestive. “It tastes pretty good p>
For a second, Kailey couldn’t react. She withdrew her hand stiffly and instinctively took another sip herself.
A low laugh left his throat as he stepped on the gas again, amused by how easily she grew flustered despite her bold teasing.
They remained quiet for the rest of the ride. Once they arrived home, Max rushed out to greet them. Passing the drink to Kyson, Kailey called brightly, “Max!” The dog looped around her with boundless energy.
After a short while, slightly breathless from the fun, Kailey finally asked, “Have you found any clues about that letter p>
After passing the drink back to Kailey, Kyson waited until she took another sip before speaking. “Not yet. The handwriting is different from last time, but I believe it came from the same person p>
Kailey blinked in thought. “Would reporting it to the police help at all p>
“What do you think p>
Deep down, they both understood the answer was probably no. A simple note did not serve as solid proof of any real threat. The police might conduct a basic check, yet if even Kyson had failed to uncover anything, strictly following procedure wouldn’t change the outcome.
“Alright,” Kailey murmured before falling quiet.

After some time, she offered a casual smile. “It’s fine. Whoever sent it doesn’t seem to want to hurt me. It could just be someone playing a prank. You don’t need to stress over it.” She knew she couldn’t hide at home every day out of fear.
Kyson watched her expression, his brow slightly furrowed. He extended his arm and pulled her closer until her head rested against his chest, his voice softening. “I’ll find out who’s behind this soon. You don’t need to be scared, alright p>
Honestly, Kailey was not truly frightened — at worst, it was just some strange person trying to be intimidating. Yet when she heard the warmth in his tone, she instinctively leaned into him and whispered, “Okay. I’m not scared p>
After they entered the villa, Kailey went upstairs to shower while Kyson headed straight to the study.
He left the lights off. His tall silhouette blended into the darkness as though he belonged there. When he unlocked his phone, the screen’s glow lit up his sharp features.
A message from Rayden appeared, stating that the vehicle with the fake license plate had been tracked to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. The method used was identical to the previous incident, and aside from that, no further clues were found.
The moment Kyson finished reading, Rayden called.
“Hello p>
“Did you see the message?” Rayden sounded unusually serious. “Who exactly has Kailey crossed paths with? I looked into it. The registered owner of that car factory has a clean record — lives a simple routine, works alone, even naps when business is slow. He claims he knows nothing. There is no trace of the car or the driver p>
