Chapter 471

Their gazes inet, and Delicia’s heart skipped a beat,

She opened her month, about to say something to smonth things over. But then, she saw Stephan’s smile. It wasn’t his usual lazy, nonchalant smirk. This one seemed genuinely joyful, ti lit up his entire fare.

“Alright, In the future, I’ll tell bedtime stories to both you and our child “

She was rendered speechless Wasn’t he getting a bit too far ahead?

Felicia was mustified by the idea and almost bit her own tongu

Tut the moment he said those words, an image involuntarily popped into fermind–a cozy room lit by warm light, a child peacefully drifting off to sleep, and two inexpetenced parents telling bedtime stories.

“Nope! Hold it right there?” she yelled in her mind.

She hurriedly changed the subject. “Wait, let’s focus on the main topic. Since the re

real map has surfaced, it must have a traceable lead. Who has it? Do you have a

Stephan gave her an aimused side–eye. Her attempt to change the topic was anything but subtle.

He took his time, watching as Felicia’s cheeks blushed, the redness spreading all the way to her ears. She clearly wanted to crawl into a hole but still forced herself tu appear calm and serious.

It made bini even more adorable.

Stephandecided not to push her too far. After all, this wildcat had a fierce bite. Just last night, she left two teeth marks on his shoulder, not to mention the scratches on his back.

Felina blinked in surprise and blurted, “Kayla?”

Stephan reached out to tuck a stray strand of Felicia’s hair behind her ear. The gesture was so natural it seemed like second nature to him.

He continued, “Kayla has abandoned the Fuller couple. Rumor has it she has reunited with her biological family and is now under the protection of the Cartell family. They te hiding her very well.”

The Ganelidamily?

“Where did this Canell family come from?” Felicia muttered,

If that were true, then that Mrs. Carrell would be Kayla’s distant aunt.

For Kayla to reunite with such a far–thing relative at this critical moment, there had to be something more.

Ferlaps Kayla possessed something that caught the Carrells‘ attention, something valuable enough to for an alliance with Kayla and secure their protection. And that something was undoubtedly the real map!

tia’s thoughts raced and concluded, “If Kayla really brought the map to the Cartells, they’d definitely want to keep it for themselves. They’d focus entirely on

lenting! To avoid suspicion, they might even set up traps or false trails. You have to be extra careful when tracking then.”

Was she worried aboral Steplun

Stephanchuckled softly, clearly pleased by her reaction.
