?Chapter 282:


    Kaiden nced at Ellie, then turned to Omiros, asserting firmly, “Your parents entrusted me with your care. If you don’t study, you can’t eat. The choice is yours.”


    With that, Kaiden went upstairs.


    Omiros seethed with anger, adopting a nonchnt expression that said, “Whatever.”


    Observing Omiros, Ellie caught up with Kaiden and remained silent until they reached the second floor.


    “Hey, he’s your cousin after all. Isn’t it cruel to deny him food? He’s only a teenager, a crucial age for growth,” Ellie said tactfully.


    Kaiden didn’t take it seriously and replied, “He won’t starve to death if he skips a meal for three days.”


    Ellie was at a loss for words.


    Kaiden continued, “What’s the point of eating if he’s only building his body and not his brain?”


    Ellie couldn’t find a response. Suddenly, she empathized with Omiros’ plight.


    Unable to bear it any longer, she proposed, “How about I talk to him?”


    “Leave him be.”


    Kaiden swung open the study door, tugging Ellie inside.


    Before she could react, the door shut, and Kaiden pressed her against it, his face looming in front of hers.


    A lengthy kiss followed, leaving Ellie breathless.


    Instinctively feeling weak, she found herself supported by his grip on her waist.


    “Congrattions, Ellie, the youngest gold medal winner of the year.” Kaiden’s deep, mellow voice resonated within the confines of the study. The walls echoed faintly, teasing the eardrums.


    Ellie, though she should have felt joyous, expressed a subtle annoyance she hadn’t even recognized herself. “You know about it?” Her tone almost hinted, “You’ve finally found out.”

    Kaiden lowered his gaze, a smile ying on his lips. Bending down, he pressed his forehead against hers in an intimate andforting gesture.


    “1 asked Sherell,” he admitted.


    Sherell had spread the news about Ellie’s remarkable achievement, amplifying Kaiden’s admiration.


    With a snort, Ellie’s mood lightened. She pushed Kaiden away, dering, “Move aside. I have work to do.”


    “What are you busy with?” Kaiden remained in ce, exerting more pressure on Ellie.


    “A speech for my alma mater’s anniversary,” Ellie replied. Suddenly, a suspicion crossed her mind, and she questioned, “Did you arrange for the school security guard to escort me back that day?”


    Kaiden might have avoided the topic, but once brought up, he intended to settle the score.
