Rachel's face, which was already slightly flushed, suddenly turned crimson. She nodded lightly and said, "Mm-hmm."
When Kellan saw Rachel, he already knew she was waiting for him.
But hearing her confirmation with his own ears filled him with an indescribable joy that surged through his body.
He felt completely energized.
Lifting his long leg, he took a big step forward, wanting to walk over and pull Rachel into his arms, pressing her down on the bed.
Rachel noticed the fiery look in Kellan's eyes and suddenly had the urge to turn and run back into her room.
Just then, Denise's voice came from the doorway. "President Elliott, is Aunt Ives asleep?"
Her voice, usually pleasant, grated harshly in Kellan's ears.
At that same moment, another voice answered, "I'm here."
As soon as Aunt Ives heard the sound of the car, she had gotten up from bed and walked out.
