?Chapter 1089:


    ng!


    “Be careful!”


    She had knocked something over. At the same moment, Kaiden quickly steadied her with one hand and ced the other around her waist. Ellie instinctively pushed the hand on her waist and felt a cold, hard object.


    The thin, hard object was on his finger. It was easy to guess it was a ring.


    The wedding ring on her hand had clinked against his ring.


    Ellie froze.


    “Did you hurt yourself?”


    His voice was openly anxious.


    Ellie slowly shook her head, keeping her eyes downcast.


    Kaiden followed her gaze to his left hand on her waist.


    He thought she was ufortable with his touch. As he was about to pull his hand away, she held it.


    Ellie tried to steady her breathing.


    “Are you wearing a ring?”


    Kaiden’s finger with the wedding ring curled instinctively. “Yes.”


    Seeing Ellie stable, Kaiden withdrew his hand and nced longingly at his palm, knowing Ellie couldn’t see.


    “Can I touch your ring?” Ellie asked.


    Kaiden was a bit surprised.


    He nced at the ring on his finger and then at the pink diamond wedding ring on Ellie’s right hand. His expression softened.


    He declined, stating, “I’m sorry, but I can’t show you the ring.” If she got the ring, she might discover something.


    Ellie didn’t push it further. She felt her way back to her room.

    “Watch out!”


    Her shoulder nearly hit the door frame, prompting Kaiden to raise his hand to shield it.


    Then Ellie closed the door behind her.


    Leaning against the door, her heart raced. She could still smell the cook’s faint scent on her clothes from when he hade close.


    One thought dominated her mind.


    The cook could be Kaiden!


    Kaiden used to serve her food, so he knew her tastes well.


    Kaiden was the cook, so he knew she preferred soy milk over regr milk.


    That was why the chicken soup had tasted so familiar these past two times.


    That was why he avoided her name and stubbornly called her Mrs. Thorpe.


    That was why he had never mentioned his name at the start.


    The cook wasn’t Ayden.


    Clearly, he was Kaiden!


    A person’s walk and voice could change. But if it really was Kaiden, why would he be at her ce as a cook?
