Chapter 155 He’s Just Too Perfect

Lucien stripped away that polished, gentlemanly image himself, and beneath it all was nothing but raw, undeniable desire.

Kaia’s mind went blank from the intensity of his kiss, and all she could think was that things had gone from zero to a hundred so fast, she was barely holding on.

At the very moment when everything was about to boil over, Lucien suddenly slammed the brakes. He let go of her, his voice rough and hoarse. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Kaia stared blankly at the ceiling, light-headed and struggling to breathe. “It’s fine…”

Lucien tugged at his tie, rolled off the bed, and turned away without looking back. “Get some rest.”

With her eyes still clouded and lashes trembling, Kaia asked, “Where are you going?”

“To my room,” Lucien replied, his voice tight with restraint. “I’m going to take a shower and get some sleep.”

Then, with a few long strides, he left the main bedroom so quickly that Kaia barely had time to process it.

That’s it? Just like that?

Kaia reached for her phone and texted Alyssa: [Hey, have you ever heard anything about Lucien having… any issues?]

Alyssa, who had been replaying the proposal video on loop, practically squealed when she got the message from the woman of the hour.

She replied: [You’re still awake? I can’t believe you’ve got

enough energy to send me a text! Uncle Lucien’s proposal was insane. I was even fangirling through the screen. How are you feeling right now?]

Kaia stared at her phone, speechless for a second. She texted back: [Don’t get the wrong idea. He went to sleep in the guest room.]

Alyssa replied: [Huh? Guest room? Kaia, are you serious?]

Kaia caught herself nibbling her lip, still not sure what to make
