She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 429: Cheyenne, His Antidote

Seeing Cheyenne’s astonished expression, Erica gave a bitter smile. ‘Miss Lawrence truly didn’t appreciate what she has. If only my years of waiting could exchange for a single glance from Iker, I wouldn’t have ended up scheming with Master Davon.’

Cheyenne and Gordon discussed luring Aidan out using Erica’s name, intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

In the office of the hospital director, a petite and delicate figure lay slumped behind the office desk, dressed in a thin white coat, peacefully asleep. A magazine rested on top of her head. Kelvin arrived and noticed the slightly ajar door. He didn’t hesitate and gently pushed it open.

She was sound asleep.

Fatigue marked her fair complexion, and the dark circles beneath her eyes revealed several nights of sleep deprivation. Her finely shaped lips were slightly parted, revealing pearly white teeth hidden beneath rosy petal-like lips – a truly alluring sight.

A beam of sunlight from the window cast a soft golden hue on her black curls, creating a sense of tranquility and well-being. The contrast between her sleeping and waking state was stark. She appeared gentle and serene, like a quiet watercolor painting that grew more endearing the longer one looked.

Kelvin raised an eyebrow, lightening his footsteps as he approached the desk. His dark and luminous eyes rested on the book precariously hanging off the edge. He quickly reached out, catching it, and glanced at its content before closing it and setting it aside.

His long and slender fingers would have retreated then, but as luck would have it… they ended up on her slightly disheveled temple.

With tenderness in his touch, he playfully brushed away the stray strands of chestnut hair behind her ear. The warm sunlight illuminated her ear, tinting it a rosy shade, and even the fine white fuzz on her earlobe was visible.

Kelvin’s hands, acting on their own accord, lightly pinched her delicate ear, relishing its soft and cool texture. Moving gently, his coarse and large hands caressed her finely arched brows, glided over her delicate and petite nose, and finally halted on her lips.
