Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 107

Kayla looked like she had just stepped out of a shower, her hair still damp and the tips glistening with water. Her cheeks were flushed from the steam, and her beautiful, doe-like eyes were filled with a shy innocence, giving her an air of vulnerability. The thin, sheer gown did little to hide her figure as she glided closer to Arnold, leaving a trail of delicate, wet footprints behind her. The gown floated around her like a butterfly in the air. "Arnie..."

She bit her lip shyly, and as she lowered her head, her dark hair cascaded down, accentuating her porcelain-like skin.

Arnold's breath caught in his throat, and his dark eyes intensified.

However, when Kayla stepped forward to embrace him, he gently pushed her away and said firmly, "Stop it. Put some clothes on."

Kayla clung to him. She refused to relent, her body warm and fragrant against him. The unique scent enveloped him, and for a moment, he felt a rush of confusion.

Yet in the next second, he pushed her away again, his tone harsher than before.

"Since you're not unwell, I'm leaving."

With that, he strode toward the door. His back turned to her in cold dismissal.
