Chapter 219: Daddy Issues.

Angela took her bath slowly, trying to let the warm water ease her mind, but it did little to calm the storm inside her. She kept thinking about the bite and whether she had overreacted. If there was anyone who could control himself, it was Kaito. He would never hurt someone on purpose. For him to do that, something must have pushed him beyond his limits.

Still, doubt crept in, whispering that there was something he was hiding. Her instincts nagged at her, making her question him again and again, even though she didn’t want to. Maybe there was no secret at all, or maybe there was one she could not yet see. The confusion only made her restless. She knew her focus should be on Hiro and finding a way to make him complete the circle, but her heart kept drifting back to Kaito.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in fresh air, she found him pacing the room as if something weighed heavily on his mind. She tried to ignore the tension, reaching for the dryer on the mirror stand, ready to dry her hair. But before she could switch it on, his cold hand brushed against hers. The touch sent a shiver racing down her spine. She wanted to pull away. She didn’t need his help, not with something as simple as drying her hair.

"Let me do it," he whispered, leaning close. His breath stirred against her ear as he buried his face in her hair for a moment. "I love your hair. I wish you would leave it like this."

His voice was gentle but dangerous, wrapping around her like a spell. For a second, she almost let herself sink into his words, but she snapped her eyes open and nudged him with her elbow.

"Ouch," he muttered, stepping back with a small smile. "I wasn’t expecting that. I only wanted to help."

"But you were trying to seduce me," she said, shaking her head as her eyes met his reflection in the mirror. He had nearly caught her off guard, but she managed to slip away from the charm of his tone.

"Did you really call that seduction?" Kaito chuckled softly, resting his hands on her shoulders as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She rolled her eyes but gave him the dryer.

To her surprise, he handled it with ease, drying her long hair and smoothing oil through it like he had done it a hundred times before. She expected clumsiness, but there was none. His touch was steady, confident, almost too perfect for someone like him.
