Noticing my flustered expression, Caden chuckled. “Are there any ingredients in the fridge? I’ll make breakfast for you.”

“There’s no need, don’t trouble yourself. I can do it on my own.” Even though Caden was an excellent cook, I didn’t want to inconvenience him by making him cook just for me.

I attempted to get up, but he gently pressed me back down.

Looking down at me, his deep voice carried warmth. “It’s really no trouble. If you’ll allow me, I’d love to make breakfast for you forever.”

With that, he turned around and strode toward the kitchen.

Watching his tall, upright figure disappear, my mind wandered.

It was as if we had returned to the time when we were still deeply in love.

Caden had said something similar before.

It had only been a month ago.

Hearing those words again now left me with an odd sense of familiarity.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed away the unexplainable feelings rising in my chest.

Lying on the bed, I distractedly pulled out my phone and refreshed the latest news.

As expected, last night’s awards ceremony had taken over the trending topics.

But the real bombshell was that I was the secret boss behind Starplay Entertainment. In an instant, the entire comment section shifted its tone.

“Ms. Sinclair is incredible! She’s amazing!”

“So Ms. Sinclair is actually Jasper’s boss, not a homewrecker! We completely misunderstood her!”

“Still hoping she and Jasper end up together, but it looks like last night’s proposal was just for promotion.”

“Rosaline and Caden look perfect together. I totally ship them!”
