Chapter 2375
After dinner, Raelynn helped Malia clean up.
Ryder ushered everyone to the living room and served them fruits. During this period, Kenneth got up to answer several phone calls. He was very busy with work.
Just as Raelynn came out from the kitchen, Kenneth had just ended another call and returned to the living room.
Looking at Raelynn, he said, "I have to go to the company. I'm leaving now."
Raelynn replied, "Let me send you off."
Kenneth nodded. After saying goodbye to everyone, he walked out the door with Raelynn.
Clara could sense that there was something going on between the two of them. She was definitely going to grill Rae with questions.
When the two of them arrived downstairs, Raelynn looked at Kenneth. "Do you really have to go to work so late at night?"
Kenneth nodded. "Yes, I'll be done in an hour. I'll go home and rest once I'm done."
Kenneth suddenly reached out and held Raelynn in his arms.
"Wh-what are you doing?" Raelynn looked at him nervously. She felt embarrassed and afraid that there would be people around them.
Kenneth lowered his head and looked at how shy she was.
Kenneth smiled and whispered, "Rae, I like it when you’re drunk."
Raelynn's face instantly heated up. She pounded his chest like an anxious and angry little rabbit. She warned him, "Don't talk about it, and don't even think about it."
"There's nothing I can do. I can't control my thoughts." Kenneth smirked. "By the way, Rae, the hotel is mine. We can go there whenever you miss me. Anyway, I miss you very much. If you don't like hotels, I have an apartment near the company."
After all, he was in his prime.
He wanted nothing more than to take her home right now.
"Are you shameless? I'll be staying at home from now on, so I may not have a chance to stay at the hotel again. You can stop thinking about it." Raelynn couldn't help pounding his chest again.
The man stood still and looked at her affectionately. He wasn’t as serious and cold as usual.
"Then I might have to find a way to marry you and bring you home with me." His hoarse voice made one’s legs go weak.
Raelynn didn't expect him to be so frivolous. This relationship was going too fast, and she needed things to slow down.
"Go back to work but don’t work too late. Rest early." Raelynn worried that he might overwork his body.
The workload of the Alwynn Group was astonishing. She had seen it before.
Kenneth wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and said in a gentle tone, "Well, give me a kiss so that I’ll sleep well."
Raelynn was blushing as she tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. When she was about to leave, Kenneth didn't let go. It wasn't until Raelynn felt that she was almost out of breath that Kenneth reluctantly let go of her.
The street lights were dim yellow. Under the cotton tree, several purple petals were falling with the wind and the faint fragrance of flowers was refreshing. Both of them embraced under the dim lights.
Kenneth said in a hoarse voice, "Well, you should go back now. I’ll see you the next day!"
Raelynn was still blushing as she nodded and turned to go upstairs.
When she reached the stairs, she turned around and waved at him.
Kenneth watched her leave before he walked towards the parking lot.
Luke had been waiting the entire time. When he saw Kenneth approaching, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door for him.
When Raelynn returned home, she could sense that the atmosphere was more lively without Kenneth. Ryder was engrossed in chatting with his colleagues.
"Raelynn, has Mr. Alwynn left?" Ryder asked. It was as if there was a hidden meaning behind his smile.
Raelynn noticed it and grew nervous. She nodded quickly and said, "He’s gone. He has to go back to the company to work overtime."
Ryder shook his head and said, "He’s so busy. It must be tiring!"
Malia smiled and said, "Rae, have some fruits and cake."
Raelynn walked over and sat down beside Clara.
Clara handed her a piece of cake and deliberately said in surprise, "Did Mr. Alwynn buy this? This ice cream cake has eight different flavors. It’s so appetizing. Besides, it's made by a famous baker. Mr. Alwynn is so thoughtful."
The Edwards Family would always order the most expensive and delicious ice cream cake for James's birthday.
She had a few spoonfuls. The more she ate, the more she liked it. In the end, she finished the last piece.
Clara looked at her expression and smiled mysteriously.
Ryder and his colleagues were still talking about DF1.
They eventually made up their mind to apply for the job three days later.
The guests only left at eleven o'clock. Clara couldn’t find an opportunity to question Raelynn, so she left with disappointment.
The house was suddenly empty again. Ryder looked at the gifts that occupied half of the living room before turning to Raelynn. "Raelynn, shall we open all these gifts?"
Raelynn nodded in agreement. "Let's do it."
The family of three happily opened the gifts. While the gifts weren’t big, Raelynn had mixed feelings as these items weren’t cheap.
"Wow! Raelynn, Mom can bake with this imported oven. Although it's not very big, it's enough for a family of three."
"Raelynn, this rice cooker is very expensive. The rice cooked must be delicious."
"Wow! Raelynn, we can make popsicles at home with this blender. I'll make them for you and Mom the next day."
Ryder was very excited. It had to be said that the gifts from Kenneth were of use to their family.
Malia glanced at her daughter with worry in her heart. After all, rich families could be heartless.She was afraid that her daughter would get hurt.
Looking at her happy son, she kept quiet and decided to speak with her another time.
The three of them took an hour to clean up the house.
There were many small household appliances in the kitchen. It was a little crowded, but it was very homey.
It had been a tiring day for Raelynn. She took a shower and went to bed. She lived in the second bedroom, while Ryder got the master bedroom since he was the only boy in the family.
Initially, Malin was the one who was supposed to stay in the master bedroom. However, she was reluctant and was only willing to stay in the second bedroom. Although it wasn’t big, everyone was content.
Raelynn laid down and scrolled through her phone. Kenneth had sent her a message not long ago.
"Rae, I'm home."
Raelynn looked at the time and found that the agreed hour had turned into more than two hours.
Raelynn replied, "Go to bed early, good night."
In fact, Kenneth had already taken a shower and was waiting for Raelynn’s reply.
When he finally received a message from her, he couldn't help but smile.
He sent another message, “I'll rest now. Good night, see you the next day!”
Raelynn smiled. She was feeling a different kind of happiness. She felt happy whenever she messaged Kenneth.
Just as Raelynn was soaking in happiness, Kenneth video called her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
