Chapter 424:
Those words left both men in silence. Whoever was behind this remained hidden in the dark. Or perhaps there was no clear enemy at all.
Up to this point, the two anonymous notes had only asked Kailey to leave Kyson, yet the real motive behind them remained unclear, and there were still no solid clues.
After a brief silence, Rayden continued, “I looked into Merritt as well. He hasn’t stepped out of his home and is practically living cut off from the outside world. Do you think it could be Ryan p>
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Kyson answered in a steady tone, “It’s not him p>
“If that’s the case, we have no obvious suspect left,” Rayden said gravely. “Stay alert. Whoever this is not only has strong capabilities but also knows you inside out. That suggests someone in a high position p>
Once the call ended, the study fell into complete silence. Standing by the window, Kyson rested one hand on the back of a chair. The darkness concealed his expression, yet the sharpness in his posture remained unmistakable.
Minutes slipped by quietly.
Then the door creaked open.
A thin line of light cut through the dim room as Kailey leaned in, her outline framed by the glow behind her, gently intruding into his shadowed space. She lifted her hand and waved playfully. “Hi. Am I allowed in p>
At that instant, something stirred deep inside Kyson, and a rush of warmth filled his chest, reflecting in his eyes. Two seconds later, a smile curved on his lips as he opened his arms toward her.

“Kailey, come here p>
Her gaze softened immediately, and she hurried over before throwing herself into his embrace.
Fresh from her shower, she carried a faint, clean fragrance mixed with lingering steam. Kyson lowered his head and inhaled the scent of her hair. “Why aren’t you asleep yet p>
Tilting her face up, Kailey pretended to sigh lightly. “I had a feeling someone wasn’t in a good mood, so I couldn’t fall asleep.” She slipped her arms around his waist, feeling the solid strength beneath his shirt and squeezing him instinctively.
“You really don’t have to worry about me p>
She understood him better than he realized. Even though he tried to act at ease, she could sense the strain in him — otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on picking her up personally.
“If someone truly has their eyes on me, hiding won’t change anything. We’ll just have to see what they want. And besides — I have such a capable husband. The last time I was kidnapped, I walked away unharmed, didn’t I p>
Before she could finish speaking, he bent down and captured her lips.
Kailey’s eyes widened in surprise, and she met the intense emotions swirling in his gaze. A low chuckle escaped Kyson as he lifted her effortlessly and placed her on the desk.
“Silly girl, close your eyes,” he whispered hoarsely.
Kailey refused to close her eyes. She enjoyed looking at him when his emotions surfaced, when a faint redness colored his gaze and made him resemble a striking character stepped out of a comic.
