Chapter 380
Chapter 380:
A twitch pulled at Kailey’s lips—she had no patience left for Dagmar’s antics. She faced Kyson as he came closer. “Are you heading to work p>
“That’s right.” Kyson bent down and brushed a kiss against her cheek, yet the gesture didn’t seem enough, so he drew her in and stole another quick peck. “The project only needs a little more work. Once I finish it, we’ll leave for our honeymoon trip. Start thinking about a destination p>
“A honeymoon trip p>
The idea had never crossed Kailey’s mind. Fantasy Fusion’s spring release loomed ahead, and her schedule already felt packed tight.
Kyson raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Are you planning to skip it p>

He sounded as if he was asking for attention, and it made Kailey laugh. “Alright. I’ll look into places later p>
Kyson’s thumb traced along her cheek in a gentle stroke. “That’s my girl p>
Dagmar coughed suddenly as a tickle caught her throat, and the sound spiraled into an awkward fit. Both of them turned toward her at the same time. She clapped a hand over her mouth on instinct, as though that might erase her presence.
Kailey, amused, nudged Kyson away. “You should leave already p>
“Start planning the trip p>
“I will p>
Kyson kissed her forehead once more. “I really don’t want to go to work p>
“Finish it, and you’re free p>
Kailey walked him to the door and returned after seeing him out. Dagmar watched the entire scene and shook her head slowly. “This is surprising. I never pictured you acting so attached to a man p>
“Well, you don’t have anyone to be attached to, and that makes you jealous, doesn’t it p>
Annoyed, Dagmar snatched up a cushion and hurled it at Kailey, who caught it without trouble. Kailey placed the cushion back on the couch and asked casually, “So—what message did your dad send you here to deliver p>
Shock slipped out before Dagmar could hide it. “How did you figure that out p>
“You wouldn’t come see me on your own p>
Even if Dagmar ever wanted to visit, pride would keep her from admitting it. Besides, Lionel had personally driven her here, making his intentions quite clear.
Dagmar slumped back with a sigh. “So you’re not as dumb as you look p>
Deep down, Dagmar wanted nothing to do with her parents’ schemes or their business concerns. Still, to her, Kailey seemed foolish.
Understanding why Kailey would recognize an uncle she hadn’t seen in more than ten years felt impossible to Dagmar. How could Kailey be so obedient? Part of her believed Kailey behaved that way just to make her look bad by comparison. Because of that belief, Dagmar convinced herself that Kailey’s sweetness was an act. In her mind, girls like her were the ones hiding sharp edges behind polite smiles.
The thought tightened Dagmar’s jaw until her teeth pressed together. A crafty smile slipped onto her face. “Want to hear what my father told me to say p>
“Of course,” Kailey replied. “Go on p>
“It’s about the mountain your mother left behind. I want to borrow it.” Confidence filled her voice so completely that it didn’t resemble a request.
