Chapter 214

Ophelia gently held Kenneth's face in her hands. Her eyes met Kenneth's intense and somewhat wild gaze, with a hint of red

in his eyes.

Her heart tightened as if a wound had been torn open, making hard to breathe. She asked, "What happened?"

They were in a fairly narrow rooftop passageway, warm light highlighting the sides of their faces.

Kenneth rested his forehead against Ophelia's, using his thumb to caress her cheek gently. He said, "I miss you so much. I am almost losing my mind."

Before Ophelia could say another word, Kenneth pulled her into his embrace, his gentle kisses falling again, leaving her breathless.

Downstairs, they could still hear the secretary's footsteps.

It was their first time in a place like this. The intense feeling gradually numbed Ophelia's logical mind.

Ophelia sighed and asked, "Where are my clothes? Don't tell me must wear your shirt to the board meeting this afternoon."

Seeing Ophelia dressing like that, Kenneth's eyes darkened. "Do you think I would let you dress like that to meet those old folks?" Kenneth said, suddenly feeling a pang in his chest. He thought, 'What if, in the future, I am not around and she dresses like that
