Chapter 346 346: A confession

There was a lot for Sherlyn to take in. Kaden's remarks were incomprehensible to her.

'What does it mean to go out with me? As in pals or as in—'

But before Sherlyn could make a decision, her phone rang, interrupting her stream of thoughts.

She promptly let go and took her phone out of her bag. Her eyebrows furrowed as she read the name. "I have to answer this call," she excused herself.

"Yes, Nicole," she replied.

Kaden stood off to the side, watching her. He was shocked at how openly he had asked her out, but he had yet to hear her response.

There was something about this girl that drew her to him, and he was delighted that after all these years, he still had the chance to pursue her.

As he considered her confirmation, his lips curled up. Kaden was interested if she had someone in her life, and when she said she didn't, he didn't feel the need to hold back.

"Okay, yes," Sherlyn said on the line for a few seconds before hanging up.

She turned back to find Kaden admiring her and smiling. It was funny, but the way he stared at her caused her heart to race.

They were in their mid-thirties, yet she acted like an adolescents.

She gingerly pushed the phone back into her bag, a sense of uneasiness coming in as she decided to break silence.

"W-why are you staring at me like that?" she inquired, hardly looking at Kaden.

Sherlyn felt it was unusual. She had never been so nervous in front of him, not even when they were casually talking. But now she felt a little apprehensive because Kaden's reactions mirrored hers.

"What is wrong with me staring at the woman I just asked out? Yes, there could be an issue because she hasn't responded to my confession." Kaden complained dramatically, leaving Sherlyn apprehensive
