Chapter 446:
“I mean it,” he said sincerely. The statement sounded harmless on the surface, yet a teasing spark hid underneath it.
Kailey shot him a playful glare but stayed quiet.
Warm air hummed around them as Kyson’s gentle motions lulled her into drowsiness. Her weight drifted against him within minutes, and her eyelids sagged. Just before they shut, his voice sliced cleanly through the fog. “Don’t go to sleep yet p>
“What?” Why shouldn’t she? Everything was finished already.
Kyson’s warm fingertips brushed her cheek. “I have something important to tell you p>
Uncertainty crept into his expression — he couldn’t tell if Kailey was following him. He put the hair dryer away before turning back to her. Sleep had nearly claimed her on the couch, and her head rested lazily against her palm.
A quiet sigh left him. He lifted her into his arms and laid her carefully on the bed.
Kailey tried to turn away, but he reached out to draw her back. Half-asleep, she reached up and cupped his face. “What is it p>

A quiet laugh escaped Kyson as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Leaning over, he tucked the blanket snugly around her — a faint blush still colored her cheeks. He tapped her forehead lightly and whispered, “Try worrying about your husband a little more p>
Sleep held her too tightly to answer.
Morning arrived before Kailey stirred, and fragments of memory floated back to her. Something important lingered from the night before, yet exhaustion had swallowed the details. Curiosity nudged her downstairs with plans to ask him, but Karol said, “Kyson left early for the office. He seemed rushed p>
“Oh, I see.” Kailey nodded.
Work filled his schedule, so she chose not to interrupt him.
