Chapter 306:
Under the night sky, his gaze looked deep and dark. Streetlights and passing headlights brushed over his sharp features, making them stand out even more.
The light turned green.
Kailey reached up and pushed his hand away. “Focus on driving p>
His brows lifted slightly, but he knew better than to linger in the middle of the road. He leaned over and pressed a quick kiss to her forehead before turning back to the wheel.
When they arrived home, Kailey was visibly distracted. After getting out of the car, she walked more slowly than usual and fell a couple of steps behind.
She suddenly stopped. “Kyson p>
“What is it?” He turned around right away — and caught the bright look in her eyes the instant he faced her.
Without warning, she smiled and threw her arms around him. Her voice was soft and sincere. “Thank you p>
Just two words, yet they carried everything she wanted to say. Nothing else was needed.
The moment felt like a carefully painted scene. A light breeze stirred her hair, and warmth lingered in the air between them. To Kailey, this place already felt like home — where she belonged, where she felt safe.

Kyson froze for a brief second before his expression eased. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, holding her against his chest. His steady heartbeat spoke louder than words ever could.
In the living room, Irene and Karol were pressed together, eyes glassy as they watched what was happening outside.
“When Kyson was just a boy, he insisted on watering the same flower in the yard every single day,” Irene said with misty affection. “That was the moment I knew. He was destined to be romantic p>
Karol sniffed and cast her a puzzled glance. “I’m not quite seeing how those two things relate p>
“How could they not?” Irene retorted, eyes shining with conviction. “Sticking to one thing without fail — isn’t that devotion p>
The reasoning felt strained. Karol was about to object when she spotted movement near the entrance. Her expression changed instantly. “Quick, hide! They’re coming p>
The lights stayed off as both women crouched behind the couch. Kailey and Kyson walked past the living room and headed upstairs, unaware of the audience. Once the sound of footsteps disappeared, Irene slowly stood, thoughtful.
“Karol — with things progressing like this, don’t you think we should start preparing for a wedding p>
Karol smiled and nodded. “I’ve had the same thought. This place could use some happiness p>
The following morning, Kyson left after breakfast. Irene stopped Kailey just before she could follow.
“Irene, is something wrong p>
Irene checked the courtyard to make sure her son was gone, then turned back with a gentle smile. “Nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if you’ve considered the wedding yet. Venue choices, style preferences — classic or contemporary? Indoor or outdoor? Accessories. Do you prefer diamonds or jade? We’ll also need to visit the Owen family formally. It’s been so long since I last saw them. Weddings take time to plan, so we really should begin early p>
