Chapter 155:
“Kailey, I want you to take what we have seriously, the same way I take you seriously. Every choice you make, every word you say — it all matters p>
Kailey sat frozen, not sure what to say. Kyson’s eyes were sharp as he let out a slow breath. When she didn’t answer, he clenched his jaw and said, “Do you have any idea how it feels to hear another man call you ‘babe p>
He heard that? Kailey felt her chest tighten and swallowed hard.
“You’re unbelievable,” Kyson said, frustration clear in his voice as he tugged at his already-loosened collar. “Kailey, don’t ever let me catch you doing anything like that again p>
She felt genuinely guilty and couldn’t bring herself to argue. Still, curiosity slipped in. “If you catch me again, what will you do p>
Kyson’s eye gave a slight twitch before he let out a cool laugh. “I will lock you up p>

Kailey fell silent.
After surviving the morning without further incident, Kailey arrived at the office and found herself reflecting. She and Kyson weren’t even married yet — so why did being around him make her so anxious? What would life be like once they finally were?
Her expression grew thoughtful, and she tried to discreetly straighten her posture.
Just then, Zaria walked by and noticed. “Kailey, does your back hurt p>
“No p>
“So why are you sitting so straight?” Zaria paused, then leaned closer with a playful whisper. “Did you and your fiancé have a wild night p>
Kailey shot her a glare, her cheeks flushing red. “What kind of idea is that? Nothing happened!” They had only shared one kiss, and it had never come close to that level.
Zaria just grinned knowingly, raising an eyebrow. “You don’t have to be shy. If it’s that bad, I can give you the day off p>
“I’m telling you, it’s really not necessary p>
Half amused and half embarrassed, Kailey stood and gave Zaria’s shoulder a gentle push. “Seriously, stop teasing me. I have a pile of drafts to edit, so go get your own work done p>
After sending Zaria back to her office, Kailey finally let out a long breath. Felicity still hadn’t checked in, and she couldn’t help wondering what was going on. The moment she settled into her seat, Felicity’s name lit up her phone.
“Are you alright?” Felicity asked, her tone casual but with genuine concern underneath. Getting caught by Kyson the night before had been awkward, to say the least. “Did he make things difficult for you p>
Kailey was too embarrassed to admit she had placed all the blame on Felicity, so she simply replied, “It’s fine. Nothing really happened p>
“That’s true,” Felicity agreed, lounging on her bed and rolling onto her stomach. “But your fiancé doesn’t seem like the type to just let things slide.” She recalled Kyson’s expression from the night before and gave a small shudder. “Alright — I promise I won’t rope you into anything like that again p>
Kailey found herself amused. “Are you actually afraid of him p>
“I wouldn’t say afraid, exactly p>
“Then what is it p>
