?Chapter 130:


    In the master bedroom’s vast walk-in closet, Ellie’s clothes were arranged on the left side. As she reached for her outfit for the next day, she noticed a cab filled with new women’s clothing.


    The assortment included various brands and styles, all untagged and in her size.


    Ellie was taken aback.


    “You don’t like them?” Kaiden’s cool voice interrupted her thoughts.


    “They are all… for me?” As the words left her lips, Ellie realized the absurdity of her question. Who else would the clothes be for, if not her? Surely Kaiden wasn’t going to wear this.


    “Did you get these?” she inquired.


    Kaiden, retrieving clothes from his side of the closet, replied nonchntly, “A while back.”


    Ellie’s eyes identallynded on the ck boxer shorts he held, prompting memories of the previous night. She quickly averted her gaze, feeling awkward.


    Without another word, she thanked him and hurried out of the closet, her eyes cast downward.


    Watching her hastened departure, Kaiden’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a hint of curiosity in his expression.


    The sound of running water filled the bathroom.


    Lying on the expansive bed, Ellie’s mind was restless. She had believed that her marriage to Kaiden was merely a facade, not extending to sharing a bed.


    Soon, the water ceased, and the bathroom door creaked open, revealing Kaiden emerging from the steam.


    “Why aren’t you dressed?” Ellie bolted upright, her eyes wide at the sight of Kaiden, his skin dotted with water droplets.


    d only in boxer shorts, Kaiden’s damp hair dripped water onto his chest and abs. He casually brushed the water off his skin.

    “I should have mentioned,” Kaiden stated, “I usually sleep naked.”


    Ellie’s mouth fell agape, her shock at his blunt confession evident.


    Clutching the nket, she retorted, “You didn’t do thatst night.”


    Kaiden approached the bed, querying with a hint of challenge, “Mrs. Thorpe, are you sure about that?”


    Ellie hesitated. The previous night was an exception, not the norm.


    Feeling overwhelmed, Ellie proposed, “Perhaps… you could get used to pajamas?”


    While she was trying to adjust to sharing a bed, the idea of him sleeping unclothed was too much.


    “No,” he declined tly, picking up a hairdryer.


    The dryer buzzed for a few seconds before abruptly stopping. “Come here.” Kaiden motioned toward Ellie.
