Chapter 437:
Kyson slipped off his jacket and took a seat across from him, his eyes staying fixed on Benny. “Do you think of her as a sister? Is that why you reacted without thinking? If that’s the case, then I don’t owe you any thanks p>
The glass in Benny’s hand paused, then started turning again. He let out a light scoff. “I’m a man. I’m not going to stand there and watch a woman get hurt p>
“So you’re calling yourself a gentleman now p>
“I am p>
Silence filled the room. A second passed. Then another.
After a while, Benny straightened and met Kyson’s steady gaze. For an instant, his composure wavered — he quickly masked it. “What’s with that look? Are you jealous? In that situation, I had to pull her in. There wasn’t time to think. I p>
“You pulled her into your arms?” Kyson’s tone stayed even, but his eyes sharpened.
Benny dragged a hand through his hair. “Kyson, have you lost it? I saved your wife, and you track me down at night to question me? And don’t get it twisted — even if you handed Kailey to me, I wouldn’t…” The rest of his words died in his throat under Kyson’s steady stare.
“Benny.” Kyson’s voice turned firm. “What’s your connection to Kailey p>
Benny had prepared countless explanations in his head, but none of them came out. He lowered his gaze, his hair falling forward to hide his eyes.
“You know that if I wanted answers, I could dig them up easily. Before I do that, I’m giving you a chance.” Kyson rested one foot on the coffee table, his presence pressing down on the room. “What’s your relationship with Kailey? And why are you getting close to her p>

Benny didn’t move much, yet the hand at his side tightened into a fist. After a long pause, he lifted his head. The carefree look returned to his face, though regret flickered in his eyes. “You saw through it, huh? Fine. I knew about her before this. Quentin mentioned her to me p>
Kyson’s brows drew together. “Go on p>
“That’s all there is. You know Quentin — he’s always chasing mountains and caves. Women never caught his attention. So when I heard about Kailey, I got curious. I wanted to see what kind of woman could make him care.” Later, he had discovered she hadn’t only caught Quentin’s interest — she was also Kyson’s wife. Life had a way of twisting things.
Kyson didn’t confirm whether he believed him or not, his eyes staying fixed on Benny. “That’s everything p>
“That’s it.” Benny lifted his shoulders. “I don’t like her. But you’re married now. I can’t keep picking fights with her forever. I don’t want to make things harder for you p>
Kyson rubbed his fingers together and let out a quiet laugh. “I always stand with my wife p>
Benny said nothing.
After a moment, Kyson asked again, “You’re sure you’re not injured p>
Benny understood what that question implied. He let out a quiet breath and shook his head. “It’s nothing serious. Just got hit a little. It’ll be fine in a few days p>
