Chapter 240:
“Has anyone ever told you that you look really handsome when you’re focused p>
Something shifted in his eyes. His voice came out low. “Finish getting ready. I need to make a call.” He turned and left without hesitation.
She tilted her head and watched him go.
His ears were red.

Was he embarrassed? Once she reached that conclusion, a small smile slipped out, and her mood lifted without her even noticing.
After getting ready, she headed downstairs. Everyone already seated at the dining table turned to look at her. They had spent the entire previous day together, and the atmosphere had clearly loosened.
“Wow, Kailey, you finally woke up. Sleeping in this late means last night must’ve been pretty great with Mr. Blake p>
“Obviously. With a night like that, it’d be strange if nothing happened p>
The speaker’s eyes sparkled with mischief, and the others exchanged knowing looks.
Kailey instinctively glanced toward the man standing by the window. He was focused on his phone, his expression unreadable, seemingly lost in thought.
She looked away, reached for a nearby chair, drew it back, and sat down. “You all have way too much energy. Making things up this early in the morning p>
Zaria leaned closer and lightly bumped her shoulder, her smile carrying an unspoken meaning. “So we guessed wrong p>

Kailey was nearly startled by the confession. “It’s really not a big deal. I’m fine.” In the end, Kyson was the real reason behind everything. Since she had already let it go with him, she wasn’t about to blame anyone else.
Zaria blinked and pressed on. “But I also used that secret to benefit myself. You’re really not mad p>
“Benefit yourself how p>
