Chapter 377:
Kailey shifted her gaze toward Kyson. “I can’t make sense of why people keep blaming others whenever their lives fall apart.” The same habit belonged to Olivia. Ryan shared it as well.
“It feels simpler than admitting their own mistakes.” Blazing sunlight poured across the yard as Kyson guided Kailey inside by the hand. A restless breeze slipped between them and lifted her skirt, the fabric brushing against his pants from time to time. “No room should exist for people like that from the beginning. Deal with them firmly—every inch given only teaches them to demand more p>
A curious look crossed Kailey’s face as she studied him. “You sound quite experienced p>
“Experience comes naturally.” Kyson motioned toward the couch and invited her to sit, a charming glint flashing through his slightly raised eyes. “I can show you how p>
Confusion flickered across Kailey’s expression. “Show me what p>
“Whatever knowledge you’re after p>
His presence wrapped around her like part of the air itself, and the low pull of his voice held her in place, leaving her quietly spellbound.
She hesitated before asking, “Do you blame me for everything that happened? This day was supposed to be our wedding, yet all this chaos followed because of me p>
“Was any of this your fault p>
“No p>

“Then there’s no reason for me to hold you accountable.” Kyson reached out and gently pinched her cheek. “Today wore you out, so let yourself rest p>
Emotion tightened in Kailey’s chest. She studied his face for several seconds before lifting her arms and pulling him into an embrace.
“Kyson, thank you p>
Through him, she had learned how to tell the difference between kindness and cruelty. Through him, she had come to understand that love was something she deserved.
After staying with Kailey until she finished her bath, Kyson answered a call from Devin and left for the police station. Since Irene and her husband had to host their business partners, Kailey remained by herself inside the house. She stretched out on the couch and scrolled through the photos the photographer had sent.
Most of them looked nearly the same, yet she couldn’t bring herself to erase a single one. A quiet smile appeared as she continued looking through them.
“That grin might stay stuck if you don’t stop p>
The chilly remark came from behind her and made Kailey jump. She straightened at once and turned around.
With his arms folded, Benny leaned against the door frame. Light spilled over him from above and sharpened his defiant air, his messy hair casting a shadow over part of his eyes.
“What are you doing here?” Kailey asked with a sigh.
“I happen to live in this house,” Benny replied, his face blank, a trace of mockery lingering in his cold stare. “What—disappointed that I didn’t show up and wreck your wedding p>
A short laugh escaped Kailey. She had grown used to his mocking. “I had someone hauled off to the police station today. Do you want a turn p>
“You think I’d be afraid of that p>
“Should I arrange a visit for you p>
Their exchange sounded exactly like children arguing over nothing important.
