Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 344 Heartless and Unfaithful "Alright," Jasper said, casting a deep, sorrowful glance atbefore turning to leave.

Finished As soon as Jasper was gone, I glared at Caden. "I don't know when we restarted our engagement. Since when did you start callingyour fiancée?" Caden narrowed his eyes slightly, the deep, dark glow in them flickering. His lips curled into a subtle smile. "You're really heartless, aren't you?" I froze for a moment.

"It seems like you've forgotten," Caden continued, a disappointed expression on his face as he stuffed his hands into his pockets and leaned in toward me.

His handsface kept growing bigger before my eyes. I leaned back a little and asked, "Forgotten what?" He moved even closer, his gaze heavy, "I saved you and brought you to the hospital. You were unconscious, burning with a high fever, holding ontotightly, tellingthat you were going to marryin this lifetime." There was no way I would have said that while unconscious.

I bit my lip and immediately denied it. "That's impossible." "So you're heartless and unfaithful," Caden said, his gaze intense, as though he were trying to pull my soul from my body. "But it's not the first tyou've done this. I've gotten used to it. In time, you'll realize the person you care about is me." -Was he really so sure of himself? I at the tugged the corner of my lips. This man was so arrogant.

While I did care about him, seeing him so full of himself madenot want to admit it.

I tilted my head back and put sspace between us. “Not necessarily. Often, the overly confident end up getting slapped in the face." With that, I grabbed my fork and started eating my food.

A delicious bite immediately improved my mood.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and glanced at the screen.

It was a message from Yura. She wrote, "Hey girl, remember that I mentioned the Phoshire Fashion Design Competition with you last time? Have you thought about it?” I swallowed a piece of meat and realized I hadn't had the chance to think about the competition with everything that had happened these past few days.

After thinking for a moment, I replied, "I've been a bit busy lately and haven't decided yet." Yura quickly replied, "How about I visit you in Rivemon later, and we can discuss it together?" 04:43 Mon, 24 Mar Chapter 344 Heartless and Unfaithful 100% Finished I typed back a simple 'Okay' before looking up at Caden. "When can I be discharged, according to the doctor?" "Still under observation. Your injury isn't fully healed yet, so there's no rush. I'll get to the bottom of Candice's matter for you," Caden said softly, his tone reassuring.

"Can I be discharged tomorrow?" I asked, taking another bite of food.

"Not that fast," Caden said, his gaze softening as he watchedeat with gusto. "Besides the cake, is there anything else you'd like? I can have Willa make it for you." As he spoke, he walked over to the couch by the hospital bed and sat down. Only then did I notice the coffee table was covered with files, and a laptop was running beside it.

During the days I had been unconscious, he had brought his work to the hospital just to stay by my side.

A wave of gratitude swept over me, and I said, "I'm fine now. You really don't need to stay here. You can go back. I can take care of myself." Caden stopped flipping through the documents. His brow furrowing deeply as he raised his eyes to meet mine. His voice was sharp and cold. "You really don't want to see me?" I explained in a calm tone, "No, it's not that. I just don't want to keep you here." In the end, I didn't bring up the idea of him leaving again. I lay down and quietly rested, falling asleep to the sound of him flipping through papers.

When I woke up, the delicious smell of food filled the air, and I found myself hungry.

Opening my eyes, I saw a coffee table next to my bed stacked with various foods, along with several local snacks I loved.

The mouthwatering scent made my stomach growl.

At that moment, Caden's magnetic voice sounded beside me. "Awake? Letfeed you." I was speechless.

Caden, unfazed by my silence, held a bowl of soup to me, dipping a spoonful of it.

He looked down, gently blowing on the soup to cool it, then brought it to my lips. "Here, try it." His voice was so magnetic, it almost seemed to have an enchanting power. Without thinking, I parted my lips and took a sip.

After a few mouthfuls, Caden set down the bowl and picked up a spoonful of risotto.

Was he planning on feedingbite by bite? Looking into his eyes, dark as night but filled with tenderness, I snapped back to my senses. “I can do it myself."

"You're injured. Letfeed you," Caden said, scooping up a spoonful of risotto, adding a bit of meat, and bringing it to my mouth. "I'll do it myself. I'm injured, not disabled,” I said firmly, snatching the plate from his hands, and grabbing 04:43 Mon, 24 Mar Chapter 344 Heartless and Unfaithful the spoon to feed myself.

Caden's face darkened.

Finished

I quickly consumed the final bite, exhaled with a sense of relief and set down the plate and spoon. Looking at caden; I said, "I'm full now. You can clear this up. I need to sleep." Lazily, I stretched my back, feeling drowsy.

Even though my injury had healed, receiving attentive care madewant to prolong this moment.

"Wait." Just as I was about to lie down, Caden suddenly ddenly reached out, pullingtoward him and closing the distance between us. "What are you doing?" I froze, leaning back cautiously, trying to keep my distance from him.

"You..." Caden smirked as he leaned in closer.

Thinking he was going to kiss me, I quickly pushed him away and coldly said, "Caden, don't be a j*rk." 808 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
