Chapter 357: Kellan frowned in confusion and turned to look at her, only to see her breathing softly, peacefully.
Sometduring his confession, she had already drifted off into a deep sleep.
His mind reeled.
He had mustered all his courage to express his feelings for her, but she had actually fallen asleep.
Perhaps she hadnt heard a single word.
Or maybe this was just one of lifes cruel ironies.
Allison was completely unaware of Kellans feelings.
She had danced the night away at the party, and after their passionate encounter, she had collapsed in exhaustion.
There wasnt a shred of energy left in her for hacking or anything else.
She slept like a rock.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next morning, when Allison groggily stirred awake, her gaze fell on the designer dress Kellan had gifted her now lying in tatters.
Her underwear dangled precariously off the edge of the table.
They did have a wonderful night last night.
They had even gone through four condoms.
But the house, which should have been in chaos, was now impeccably clean and tidy.
Allison blinked, bewildered.
She glanced around the room again and realized that Kellan was no longer in bed.
She assumed he had returned to Lloyd Mansion.
After pulling herself together and getting dressed, she slid into her slippers and headed downstairs.
As she descended, an irresistible aroma filled the air.
Wow! That smells amazing.
Allisons eyes widened as she spotted Kellan in the kitchen, already hard at work, though she had no idea when he had started.
She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was still dreaming.
But nohe was really there.
At that moment, with his apron tied around him, cooking so intently, his usually sharp features softened, giving him a more approachable appearance.
His shirt was stained, so he had taken it off, revealing his defined, muscular back.
Allison quickly averted her gaze.
Mr.
Lloyd, youre taking charge in the kitchen this early? What about the scandal? she teased, though part of her couldnt help but be intrigued by how smooth and flawless his skin looked.
Still, there were dark circles beneath his eyes, proof that he hadnt gotten enough sleep last night.
Kellan didnt even look up from his task.
Last night, you said you wanted meat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAllison blinked, speechless.
She had been flirting when she said that.
She hadnt actually meant meat.
And she had already had more than enough meat last nighthe had more than satisfied that craving.
A slight smile tugged at Kellans lips.
Just wait a few more minutes.
It was rare for him to see Allison so flustered and at a loss for words.
Thank you, Mr.
Lloyd.
Allison decided not to tease Kellan further, wanting to fully enjoy then delicious meal.
She settled at the dining table, resting her chin in her hand as she watched e Kellan move around the kitchen.
Since she hadnt been drunk the night before, every detail of theirinteractions remained vivid in her memory. But neither of them brought it up.
They had reached a silent, mutual understanding about what had happened.
