Kaden's words finally hit a nerve—not one of understanding, but acceptance.
What else could Lina do in a situation like this? She could only accept the reality. After three lifetimes, they finally learned something.
Lina glanced over her shoulder to see his departure. His broad shoulders were squared with each step, his sleeves rolled to reveal the bulging vein of his forearms, and his long fingers were relaxed. Kaden walked with the presence of a King.
Lina suddenly found herself leaving the bed as well. Right when he reached the door, she grabbed his hand. He immediately enveloped her fingers in a tight embrace, intertwining through each of them. Then, he bent and smiled down at her.
"Yes, dove?"
"I'm hungry."
Kaden chuckled softly. He stroked the back of her head. She made no reaction and simply stared up at him.
"Let's get our dear dove fed then."
