?Chapter 163:


    Abruptly, Kaiden stopped his advances and released Ellie.


    From his embrace, she could feel the warmth of his breath and found herself marveling at his thick eyshes. The intensity in his gaze was deep and unsettling, like an abyss.


    “When I touched you, why were you trembling?” His voice carried a husky undertone.


    “I’m a little… I’m not used to it,” Ellie stammered, her legs weak as she struggled to steady her breath.


    “Ellie, it’s just forey. Haven’t you be familiar with it by now?” His tone wasced with mockery.


    Ellie, her hands against his chest, paused briefly before saying, “I need a drink of water.”


    Kaiden, recalling that her voice hadn’t fully recovered, asked, “Can you stand on your own?”


    “Yes.” She nodded.


    Releasing her, Kaiden fetched a ss of warm water. Ellie took it with a sigh of relief. For now, she wasn’t mentally prepared to have sex in his office.


    After sitting on the sofa, a sip of water soothed her throat, strained from the recent tension and the shouting of the night before.


    “What’s gotten into you? Why did you suddenly… kiss me?” Ellie asked, her eyes narrowing in confusion.


    Upon exiting the meeting room, he had embraced her tightly, pressed a passionate kiss to her lips, and then ushered her into his office. She had been genuinely shocked.


    Kaiden, hands sped, stared down at his fingertips, his expression unreadable. He wouldn’t admit that he knew about her n to meet Baylee and had not intended to stay, which was why he had entered the meeting room.


    But once inside, his attention wasn’t on work. He had thought she would leave after her altercation with Jorge and Erick, yet when Bruce told him she had been waiting outside for half an hour, Kaiden didn’t hesitate to rush out.


    His emotions had been like an effervescent tablet dropped into water, bubbling uncontrobly. He could no longer hold them back.


    gα ? ησ ν?? ??s has it all


    These emotions felt foreign to Kaiden, yet he didn’t find them repulsive. The thought of his wife waiting quietly for him was something he couldn’t bear.


    “I thought you had an appointment with Baylee,” Kaiden remarked as he looked at Ellie. The emotions that had filled his eyes when he kissed herst time werepletely gone this time. Now he was cold and distant with her again.


    “I came back because I was worried about you,” Ellie responded in an apologetic tone. She paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, “Kaiden, now that they know you’re the president of GT Group, will this get you in trouble? I’m really sorry if you get into trouble because of me. I shouldn’t have shown off in front of Erick. I… Eh!”


    Ellie couldn’t finish her words as Kaiden suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips passionately.


    Her eyes widened in shock and confusion, and she didn’t know what to do.


    The pure and innocent look in her eyes was very seductive to Kaiden. He raised his hand and covered her eyes.
