Chapter 85
Kendric waved to her, motioning for her to step aside. Then, he grabbed a
rope and climbed up to the second floor.
He brought a small yet heavy suitcase.
Kendric took off his raincoat. Celeste noticed that all his clothes beneath
were completely soaked.
His shirt was now damp and plastered to his chest, accentuating his
muscular shape. Below, his pants also clung snugly to his thighs.
“Why did you come ?”
Celeste brought him back to her room and handed him a dry towel.
Kendric unbuttoned his shirt and stepped out of his suit pants right in front
of her. Celeste turned away, avoiding any eye contact with him.
Kendric dried himself off, wrapped a bath towel around his lower body, and walked out directly. He pulled Celeste close and gave her a thorough once–over.
“Did you get hurt?”
She shook her head. “No, I checked in this morning, and then I fell asleep until around four. I didn’t go out after then…you came rushing here because you were worried I might be hurt?”
Kendric exhaled a breath of relief. “Yeah, this hurricane has caused some casualties here. I brought you some food and medical supplies.”
Celeste opened the suitcase and took out the food. Inside were six
lunchboxes, and to her surprise, they were still warm.
Redeemed From Caged Love
There was a set of her change of clothes and another set of undergarments.
“You prepared all of this?”
“Who else could it be?”
Celeste couldn’t quite figure out Kendric’s intentions. She gazed at him with
a hint of skepticism.
Kendric handed over a lunchbox to her, “here you are.”
“I mean…”
“Celeste, there are a lot of things that, I didn’t know how to do in the past.
I’ll learn from now on.”
“Like what?”
He wore a more serious look, “like, taking care of you.”
*Kendric, what on earth do you want from me?”
A bitter smile tugged at his lips. “What else could I possibly want..
The candlelight appeared to pick up on the tension between them, and the small flame flickered restlessly
He looked into her eyes and said word by word. “Celeste, I’m sorry.
Celeste couldn’t believe her ears.
She had never imagined that one day Kendric would offer an apology.
The atmosphere descended into quietness.
Her current expression was definitely not what Kendric had expected. His heart beat faster and faster.

“Kendric, what’s been going on with you lately? All of these are definitely
not the things you would do in the past.”
Kendric had never been this patient and attentive before. Now, what was
his? After their breakup, he was like suddenly changed into another person.
“Just as you said, it was the past. Now I’ve made changes.“.
Back when they had just broken up, she always felt this sense of restraint
around Kendric. But now, at least, she could face this man with a calm and
composed heart.
“I accept your apology,” she said.
Kendric bent down slightly. He reached out to touch her cheek, but feared
that she might dislike this intimate behavior.
He settled his hand on her hair, stroking it.
“You don’t have to force yourself. I won’t force you to do anything in the
future.”
In Celeste’s heart, Kendric’s image had never changed. He was still
domineering and stubborn. Yet now, it seemed his tenderness prevailed.
Celeste turned her gaze away. “I’m not forcing myself. I accept your apology. I don’t hate you.”
He didn’t take his eves off her. It was evident that he wanted more than just “not hating.”
It’s only the first step, he thought. He wanted her love, her commitment for a lifetime.
He gently pinched her earlobe. “What else?”
“Huh?”
“How do you prove that you don’t hate me?”
That was hard to prove, Celeste thought.
Kendric leaned in closer, intending to plant a kiss on her forehead. Just at that moment, Celeste suddenly raised her head. “I can write you a guarantee!”
Since Kendric didn’t bring his computer along, he was boringly flipping through a magazine in the room. He was quite not used to this leisurely lifestyle.
her.
Celeste, on the other hand, was accustomed to it.
Kendric reclined against the head of the bed. “Time for bed?” he reminded
It was already past one in the morning, Celeste had taken a brief nap earlier, so she wasn’t very sleepy now. As for Kendric, he had always been a night owl.
The question was that there was only one bed in the room.
Celeste moved her gaze around, and finally, she pretended to remain calm, curling up in a corner of the bed.
The candle was almost burnt out, and when Celeste got into bed, Kendric immediately snuffed it out.
The room instantly plunged into complete darkness.
Chanteras
The hotel bed was of lousy quality, and it made quite a noise every time
they turned over. Celeste had her back to Kendric.
His hot arm stretched out and settled on her waist. She tried to move his
hand, but failed.
Kendric chuckled softly from behind, and his warm breath brushed against.
her nape and ears. She wriggled uneasily.
It’s a sleepless night for both of them.
Celeste tossed and turned all night. Kendric coaxed softly and patted her
rhythmically.
She drifted off to sleep.
