Chapter 52
Kayson tightly grasped Talia’s slender, fair wrists, and Talia’s heart raced.
Right after, she heard his magnetic voice whisper in her ear, “From now on, you can only think of me.”
He extended two fingers and gently tapped between Talia’s brows.
Talia nodded instinctively, then realized something was
wrong.
“We don’t really know each other well…”
They were practically strangers, yet how had it suddenly come to this, where he wanted her to only think of him?
“I slept with you, kissed you. Are you sure we don’t know each other well?”
Kayson was composed, his warm breath on her ear.
In the crowded street, Talia’s heart still raced, and her fingertips involuntarily curled.
Meeting Kayson’s intense gaze, she took a deep breath, her ears turning a bit hot.
After the two went home to rest briefly, Talia planned to take Kayson to the supermarket.
The house was spotless like a show home, lacking a lived–in

feel. She needed to buy some daily necessities.

However, just thinking about the night ahead somehow made Talia nervous.
She thought, “Kayson was drunk last night and slept on the
sofa.
“But what about tonight?
“Now that we’re married, we’ll probably share a bed.”
At that moment, Talia’s phone rang.
She looked down.
It was a text from Jessica, “My flight landed. Wanna have dinner tonight?”
Talia pursed her lips and instinctively glanced toward the
room.
Kayson, tall and upright, changed his clothes and walked out.
Talia held her phone and quickly replied, “Might not be convenient. I got married today.”
Jessica: “What’s going on?”
Talia: “I’ll tell you later.”
Jessica was concerned about her and asked, “You’re not being conned, are you… Kendrick’s a jerk, but you can’t just give up and marry any guy you meet, can you?”
Talia pursed her lips. Seeing Kayson head to the bathroom, she lowered her head and kept typing.

“I didn’t marry just any man. I saved his life.”
Jessica: “For real? Are you two that old–fashioned? Did you get his photo? Send it over.”
Talia: “No.”
The only photo they had was on their marriage certificate.
But as soon as they got home, Kayson took the marriage certificate and locked it in the safe.
Jessica: “At least tell me his name. What’s your husband’s name?”
Talia: “K…”
Just as she typed one letter, Kayson suddenly came to her.
“Who are you texting?”
His warm breath came from behind, making Talia nervously tuck her phone away in her pocket.
“Just a friend.”
Kayson didn’t press further, and the two left the house together.
Meanwhile, Kendrick’s phone on the table suddenly rang. He saw it was Talia calling.
The corners of his lips curled into a sneer.
Yesterday, he’d held a press conference and publicly announced to the media that his fiancee had long been Valerie, which had quelled the hotel incident.

He wondered if it was too late for Talia to call and try to change his mind.
200 denuchers.
Still, Kendrick was curious to hear how Talia would try to win
him back.
The phone rang for the fifth time before Kendrick slowly answered it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put it to his ear, the call on the other end was hung up.
The beep signal made Kendrick frown.
What was going on?
Talia would never hang up on him. Even if he deliberately didn’t answer her calls, she’d let the phone ring until the sixth time, then call again half a minute later.
With this thought, Kendrick placed the phone back on the table, waiting for it to light up again.
But this time, he had waited for two minutes, yet the screen remained dark.
Kendrick pressed his tongue against his cheek, a glint of coldness in his eyes.
He thought, “Is Talia tricking me?
“Is she trying to use this as a ploy to draw my attention and make me call her back out of curiosity?
“What a childish trick!”
At that moment, Talia, who was shopping in the supermarket,

didn’t realize her phone, unlocked by mistake, had
automatically dialed Kendrick, who was on her blacklist.
She noticed her new husband seemed a bit detached from everyday life.
To make Kayson more relatable, Talia handed him the shopping cart.
She deftly shopped in the daily necessities area, with Kayson quietly trailing behind. At first sight, they appeared rather harmonious.
Suddenly, Kayson’s phone rang.
He stopped, looked in the direction Talia had gone, and answered the call.
It was noisy on the other end.
Tyson’s voice boomed so loudly as he said, “Kayson, you said you were getting married today. We held a party for you. Why haven’t you brought your bride yet?”
Kayson frowned and his eyes landed on Talia’s back.
She stood on tiptoe, attempting to reach the large container of laundry detergent placed at the top of the shelf.
The shelf was quite high, and she struggled a bit. Her long hair swayed in the air.
Kayson held his phone and murmured softly, “There are too many people here. I’m worried it might startle her. We’re not going.”
Tyson let out a soft laugh. “We won’t hurt her. Look at how

you’re coddling her like she’s a priceless gem. You’re really not coming on such a special day?”
Kayson remained silent. He pushed the shopping cart and walked towards Talia.
With a wave of his hand, he effortlessly took down the bucket of laundry detergent for Talia and placed it into the shopping
cart.
Talia turned around, looking at him gratefully, and gave a smile.
Kayson’s lips curled up slightly, and he didn’t say much. He walked past Talia and headed towards the meat section.
He picked out two steaks and put them into the shopping
cart.
On the other end of the phone, Tyson’s voice continued, “Kayson, are you listening? Why is it so noisy there? Where exactly are you?”
Kayson replied casually, “I’m in the supermarket with my wife. You guys have a good time. The bill is on me.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for seven or eight seconds. Then Tyson exclaimed, “Damn it! Did I hear you right? You actually go to the supermarket?”
Kayson didn’t respond. Maybe he found Tyson too noisy, so he simply hung up the phone.
Talia’s cheeks flushed when she heard Kayson say “With my wife“.
She wondered, “Who was he talking to? A friend?”

“Do you want some soup?”
Talia snapped out of her daze. “What?”
“I heard chicken soup is very restorative for women.”

Kayson propped his chin with one hand and motioned for the salesperson to put the wrapped chicken in the shopping cart.
Talia furrowed her brow. “But won’t making chicken soup be too much trouble?”
Kayson’s gaze fixed on Talia.
Her skin was extremely fair, and her long eyelashes shadowed her eyes. When looking down, the first thing that caught one’s eye was her slender, wasp–waisted figure.
Kayson’s eyes darkened and he said gently, “It can help you. gain weight. It’s not too much trouble.”
Talia’s heart melted a little.
But when she lowered her head and glanced at her belly, her face suddenly flushed.
Kayson chuckled. “Come on, let’s check out and go home.”
His magnetic voice entranced Talia.
She thought, “But after getting married, we’ll have to share a room eventually…”
