Kaiden was so shocked that he almost jumped. "Why are you asking about my chest?!"
Amelia gave him a strange look. "I mean, had the previous fire burned your chest? Why are you having such a big reaction?"
Kaiden's face fell when he heard this.
Just as he was still analyzing the reason why his chest felt hot. Amelia asked him if his chest was okay, it subconsciously made him think that he had leaked something!
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" After a pause, he felt that such an answer was too easy-going on Amelia. Thus, Kaiden frowned and said in a sad tone, "Actually... every night when I'm alone, my heart aches."
Uh, what happened to the 'I'm fine' just now?
Amelia asked disbelievingly, "Is it? How painful is it?"
Kaiden sighed and said, "The slight pain was already killing me. Do you really want me to feel the pain deeply?"
Seeing his expression, Amelia had the urge to get down from the car. Otherwise, if he had an heart attack when they were on their way, she would be in trouble too.
But at this moment, Kaiden locked the car door. He then looked at her sadly and said, "My heart aches for you. What do you think I should do?"
Amelia was speechless. She was troubled, she had just dug her own grave! Was she being set up?
Amelia racked her brain and said suspiciously, "I remember...when you flee from the car, your shirt was still neatly worn."
Flee!
F*ck you!
"I walked out from the car, not fleeing! Are you blind!" thought Kaiden.
Kaiden could not say for sure whether he was humiliated or annoyed, perhaps both at the same time!
He had always hoped that he could leave the image of him being almighty and powerful, but in the end... things did not go as well as planned!
Kaiden was so mad that he almost cursed out everything he could curse.
At this time, Amelia muttered, "Maybe I have misjudged you. There were too many people at that time and the situation was chaotic. My mind was in a mess too. Maybe you were really injured..."
When Kaiden heard this, he pretended to be sad again. "Yes, I lost my chest hair. If I covered my face and took my clothes off, my own parents wouldn't be able to recognize me."
Amelia heard his words and could not help but believe that he was telling the truth. "I'm sorry... I..."
Wait a minute! Amelia stopped talking.
She secretly glanced at Kaiden's chest. Such a delicate man with tender skin, how could he have any pectoral hair?
Without giving any time for her to react, Kaiden took her hand and put it on his chest and said coyly, "Please give me a massage."
Amelia's expression changed. "What?"
"If you massage on it, I would recover faster." Kaiden was indeed thick faced. He was aggressive and invasive for a moment and the next moment he was as gentle as a lamb.
Amelia raised her eyebrows. If she could heal Kaiden by rubbing on his chest. She would not need to work as the chairperson of Apex Construction Corporation any more. All she had to do was to open a clinic that would heal all kinds of diseases.
But on the surface, she did not express her thoughts at all. Otherwise, if he turned against her and betrayed her, from whom could she receive help?
"Okay, I'll give you a rub." Amelia's hand was separated by a layer of tee-shirt and a blazer. As she moved her hand around Kaiden's chest, she even asked if he was feeling comfortable.
Kaiden let out a weak hum. "It's not so bad."
This was already Kaiden's limit of letting a woman to be so close to him.
He did want to take advantage of her but he was afraid that if Amelia pounced on him like before, he would be exposed!
Apart from the bus couldn't she use another kind of transport?
Amelia blurted out, "You're wrong! I didn't hitch a bus today, I used the subway!"
The voice on the other end of the line asked leisurely, "Oh, is it something to be proud of? Why are you yelling so loud?"
Amelia went speechless
The next second, Amelia's eye was filled with hatred and anger because Kaiden took her hand that he pushed aside and put it on his chest once again.
She wanted to pull her hand back reflexively but her whole hand was still numb, so she could only place it on Kaiden's chest.
At this time, the voice on the other side of the phone rang again, "By the way, mom asked us to go back to the mansion tonight. Don't leave in a hurry after work. I'll pick you up. Did you hear me?"
"Sure." Amelia, who was 'entangled' with Kaiden, replied absent-mindedly.
Patrick flickered as he said, "As for your new car...
Ahem! I'll buy you a new one when I'm free."
"Sure." Amelia did not pay attention to what he was saying at all. She was focused on pulling her hand out from Kaiden's palm.
Patrick on the other side was very surprised. Every time he wanted to send her a gift, it was really hard for him to convince her. How could it be so easy this time?
After a moment, he collects his thoughts and continued, 'And..."
Amelia played along and replied, "Sure."
Patrick finally realized that something was wrong. He asked in a cold voice, "What else can you say except 'sure'?"
"Sure." Amelia said again.
