?Chapter 572:


    When people hear about new drug development, they usually think of the medical or pharmacology fields. However, Ellie referred to biology and chemistry instead. She specialized in image design, but she seemed well-versed in science and engineering details.


    However, seeing Ellie on hisp with her eyes darting like a crafty fox, Kaiden hesitated to unveil her.


    “Does theb need more funds?”


    The topic switch was sudden, leaving Ellie momentarily slow to respond.


    “It’s, it’s fine for now, not in need.”


    Kaiden’s fingers brushed her cheek, his warm breath caressing her face. “If you need funds, just ask me. My money is at your disposal.” Such words, once deemed frivolous and profligate to Ellie, now stirred her heart.


    Ellie turned her head and nced at him. “Kaiden, I’ve realized, you be chattier when you’re drunk.” Especially with flirtatious remarks. If he weren’t so drunk, he wouldn’t utter such sentiments.


    Kaiden chuckled.


    Ellie gently touched his lips, now curved in a smile. “And you smile more and more often.”


    As if entertained by something, Kaiden gently held the back of Ellie’s head and nted a few kisses on her lips.


    He didn’t wait for her response, prompting, “Why aren’t you speaking?”


    “What should I say?” Ellie asked, perplexed.


    “Say that, when I’m drunk, I kiss you more.”


    Ellie was left speechless. He was talking as if he wouldn’t kiss her when sober.


    Trying to get down from hisp, Ellie found Kaiden reluctant to release her, holding onto her fragrant and soft form.


    Feel the thrill at g aln  ov el s .


    Upon reaching Moon Manor, Kaiden gently took Ellie’s hand as they stepped out of the car.


    “By the way, your friend Levy… Does he change girlfriends often?” Ellie remembered this detail.


    Levy, a self-made venture capitalist on the rise with a mysterious family background, was known to Ellie as a financial trailzer always surrounded by romantic interests.


    “Hmm.” Kaiden inquired, “Why do you ask about him?”


    Ellie shook her head, hoping she was just overthinking it.


    Flossie was beautiful, from an academic family, capable, and kind, always well-liked. Ellie had known Flossie for four years and realized she hadn’t dated anyone yet, still untouched.


    Such a girl shouldn’t get involved with a yboy like Levy, right?


    But soon, Ellie had no energy left to think about Flossie anymore.


    Whoosh—
