Caden Lockwood stood in Kiki's room, lowered his eyes, looked at Kiki, shrugged, and smiled helplessly: "Rejected again."
Kiki snuggled up to Caden, rubbing her head against his leg, as if comforting him.
Caden squatted down, patted Kiki's head gently, and said softly: "Put in a good word for me with your owner. Tell her to stop treating me this way. It's only Evelyn Morgan who dares to treat me, Caden Lockwood, like this!"
After speaking, Caden sighed heavily and returned to the bedroom.
Seeing Evelyn Morgan completely hiding under the covers, a hint of displeased gloom flickered in Caden's eyes.
He turned down the air conditioning temperature, lay next to her, pulled over the covers, and went to sleep.
Evelyn lay at the edge of the bed, far from Caden, as if avoiding a plague.
With a wave of his large hand, Caden grabbed Evelyn back, feeling suffocated, a heaviness in his chest, uncomfortable just imagining it.
