Chapter 417:
When Kailey opened her eyes, everything around her was quiet. Soft morning light streamed down from a clear sky, casting a gentle glow over the fresh buds that had just begun to grow. She slowly looked around, then turned her gaze toward the man sitting in the driver’s seat. “What time is it p>
“Six o’clock,” Kyson replied with a smile, brushing his fingers lightly against her cheek. “Let’s head home and sleep a little longer p>
“Okay.” Using both hands, Kailey rubbed her face to wake herself up. “What about those two? Did they get what they came for? What were they searching for? Have they left p>
One question followed another, each one connected clearly to the next. With a faint smile, Kyson started the engine without saying a word.

“Why are we driving off already?” Kailey twisted around to glance behind them, trying to see whether Sheldon and the others were still nearby. Her tone grew anxious. “Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me p>
“Give me a kiss, and I’ll explain p>
Even now, he still found time to tease her like a child.
Kailey shot him an annoyed look, then suddenly leaned back in her seat as if she had given up. “Forget it. Keep it to yourself.” If he appeared that calm, the situation must have been handled properly. Since someone else had already taken care of everything, she was more than willing to relax.
With that thought in mind, she settled back and reclined lazily without asking another word.
A hint of surprise crossed Kyson’s eyes as he glanced at her. Why did she look so unconcerned? He pressed his tongue lightly against his teeth and let out a quiet laugh, choosing not to continue the topic.
By the time they arrived home, the sun had risen high. Devin had already prepared breakfast, and while they were eating, Kyson asked casually, “You’re truly not curious p>
Kailey paused briefly, then continued eating as if nothing bothered her. “If you don’t feel like explaining, then leave it. I can’t exactly make you talk.” Her reasoning was perfectly fair.
Stretching his legs comfortably, Kyson tapped his fingers against the table in a steady rhythm. “It’s a counter-espionage move p>
Kailey nodded without much thought at first, then suddenly stopped chewing and lifted her head, her eyes lighting up. “You flipped those two over to your side p>
“That’s right p>
“What happened next p>
Noticing the excitement in her eyes, Kyson let out a soft laugh and used a napkin to gently wipe the corner of her lips. “Whatever they discover, they’ll report it to me first. On top of that, we’ll also know your uncle’s next plan through them p>
Kailey listened carefully to every word.
Suddenly, he leaned forward until only a small gap remained between them. “Didn’t I handle that pretty well p>
The way he looked at her just then was almost like a boy waiting for approval, something unexpectedly childlike about it.
Kailey nodded in amusement. “You did. Very well p>
“So — shouldn’t I get some kind of reward p>
Kyson’s gaze dropped instinctively to her lips, still slightly glossy from the milk she had just finished drinking, making them hard to ignore. His throat shifted subtly as he inched closer.
