?Chapter 1096:


    She just needed to double-check.


    She only had to slide her hand down and remove the ring from his finger to see if her initials were engraved inside, to be sure he was Kaiden. But even if she confirmed Ayden’s identity, what would she do then?


    What was she hoping for?


    Ellie hadn’t figured that part out.


    Besides…


    She had dropped hints several times, but Kaiden kept denying who he was and stuck to his disguise.


    If he wanted to keep pretending, she would go along with it.


    “What’s the matter?”


    Kaiden nced at the hand on his wrist.


    Ellie let go and turned her face away to go back to sleep.


    After a couple of seconds, she turned her head and asked, “My legs feel ufortable. Are they swollen?”


    She lowered her gaze, her long, curled eyshes casting a shadow on her eyelids in the sunlight.


    She was wearing a maternity dress that showed off her long, delicate legs.


    Even at six months pregnant, her legs remained slender and straight.


    They weren’t swollen and still looked very attractive.


    Kaiden recalled how those legs used to wrap around his waist. He remembered cing them on his shoulders.


    His throat felt dry, and he swallowed hard.


    May, standing nearby, clearly saw the man’s gaze deepen, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.


    Kaiden shut his eyes, trying to control his desire.

    “They’re not swollen.”


    “Are you sure?” Ellie tilted her head. “Then could you massage my legs? They feel ufortable.”


    Kaiden’s heart raced, and his hands moved to her thighs without him thinking.


    With the air conditioning on, Ellie’s skin felt slightly cool.


    His rough fingertips brushed against her soft, delicate skin, and he suddenly came to his senses.


    “Mrs. Thorpe, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”


    Kaiden felt somewhat discontented.


    How could Ellie have a male cook assist her with a massage?


    “Since you’re not into women, I think it’s fine for you to give me a massage,” Ellie appeared to be reading his mind.


    Kaiden was taken aback by her response.


    May noticed Kaiden’s irritation and felt likeughing but held it back. She never imagined that Kaiden could make such a mess of things!


    Ellie didn’t actually have any leg problems and wasn’t ustomed to having others rub her legs. As the man’s fingers pressed more firmly, her legs began to twitch from the ticklish feeling.
