Chapter 43
I obediently lay down beside Kane, waiting for his next move.
Unexpectedly, Kane just said softly, "What are you waiting for?"
His last word was incredibly magnetic.
It made my heart beat faster, and I felt a nervous tension like my thoughts had been exposed.
"I thought you brought me up here to do those things?"
Kane chuckled after hearing this and rubbed my hair with more force.
"Is that the kind of person you think I am?"
I shook my head with a red face.
Kane let out a rather helpless sigh and continued stroking my hair.
"I know some things I did before made you misunderstand me, but I can tell you clearly that I see you as my lover."
"So if anything I do makes you uncomfortable, you can say it directly. There's no need to hide it."
Looking at Kane's gem-like eyes filled with sincerity, my heart inevitably beat faster again.
"I'll try to tell you what I'm thinking from now on."
Faced with my honesty, Kane's smile deepened.
"Our wedding is the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll arrange for a professional team to come take care of you. They'll make your skin as smooth as silk."
Thinking about how quickly the wedding was approaching, my heart couldn't help but beat faster, and I nodded hard at Kane.
Kane held me as we lay in bed without saying anything.
Soon, his breathing gradually became steady.
I thought about how Kane spent time with me every day before going out to work, while all I had to do was eat and drink. I couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to the day after tomorrow?"
I was a bit nervous, remembering what Kane said about not embarrassing him, and couldn't help but swallow.
Kane opened his eyes and shook his head with a smile.
"You're my wife. No one dares to disrespect you, so you just need to be yourself."
I felt Kane's words were a bit contradictory.
Before, he clearly said I absolutely couldn't embarrass him, or he would be angry.
Kane seemed to have mind-reading abilities and saw through my thoughts. His expression showed some regret.
"Those things I said before were just to keep you from running away. I said them on purpose. And if I hadn't said that, would you have accepted those things so easily?"
Kane had a point. I embarrassedly touched my nose.
If Kane hadn't said those things back then and had just told me what he's saying now, I definitely wouldn't have easily accepted all those things he gave me.
This made me feel even more how thoughtful and considerate Kane was.
I started to look forward to the wedding the day after tomorrow. Actually, I never thought I would get married before.
After all, I had that kind of stepfather, and I was a nun.
Kane let me experience a life I never had before.
I reached out and hugged Kane's waist, my eyes full of emotion, and closed them peacefully. I never thought I could fall asleep so quickly.
When I opened my eyes again, Kane's solid chest was in front of me.
My head was resting on his arm, and it felt a bit numb.
I gently moved my head, but Kane instantly woke up.
His eyes were sharp, carrying a hint of killing intent.
For a moment, I thought he was going to kill me.
But when he saw it was me, his eyes immediately softened.
"Good morning, darling."
Kane's voice carried the hoarseness of not being fully awake.
I never thought a man's voice could be this sexy before.
Kane pulled me into his arms again, moved his arm, and let out a sigh.
"You made my arm go numb."
I said a bit embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Hearing my apology, Kane couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and poked my forehead.
"Why apologize? This is just part of our intimacy. Now I really believe you've never been in a relationship."
I let out a soft hum, my tone unconsciously flirtatious.
"I really haven't been in a relationship. Even my first kiss was taken by you."
Hearing me say this, Kane seemed very happy. He kissed my lips hard, then stood up.
"Let's go. I'll have breakfast with you today. I have a banquet at noon. If you want, you can come with me."
Maybe before, I would have been a bit resistant to appearing with Kane at those high-end occasions.
Because I would be afraid of not knowing anything and embarrassing him.
But now, with Kane's unconditional love, I gathered my courage and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Is there anything I especially need to pay attention to?"
Seeing how nervous I looked, Kane laughed.
"I told you, by my side, you don't need to think about what you need to pay attention to. As long as you want, you could point at the sun and call it the moon, and no one would dare contradict you."
Remembering Kane's behavior on the cruise ship before, I didn't doubt what he said at all.
Here, as the absolute authority of the mafia, whatever Kane says goes.
"Let's go have breakfast first. By the way, I heard I get an allowance every month, is that right?"
I suddenly remembered what happened with Luca yesterday and what Athena told me, so I asked curiously.
Kane nodded, seeming a bit surprised that I would actively ask about this.
"Did Athena tell you?"
I was still hesitant about whether to tell Kane about my deal with Luca. After thinking for a long time, I still nodded.
"Yes, Athena told me."
After all, it was indeed Athena who said it, so it wasn't really lying to him.
Kane didn't suspect anything. He just took out another card.
"This card was set up using your ID. You can link it to any app for payments. Of course, you can also swipe it directly. From now on, your allowance will be deposited directly into this card."
Holding this card, I felt an inexplicable sense of calm.
This made me feel much more secure than the supplementary card Kane gave me.
Maybe one day, for some unknown reason, Kane and I will separate.
That black card wouldn't be usable anymore.
But this bank card that Kane set up with my personal information was my security.
No matter what, I wouldn't have to worry about where to go if Kane really changed his mind later.
As long as I could get the first month's money, that would be completely enough for me.
I put the card in my bag, together with my previous black card.
I happily walked out of the room with Kane.
