The Despised Luna's Comeback

Chapter 270 Sharing a Bed

Caden's POV: How long had it been since I felt this familiar sensation? Ever since Heidi appeared, Rosaline broke off our engagement and kept her distance from me. Now, with my strong arms wrapped tightly around her. We were pressed together, and I could feel her heartbeat quicken. Was she starting to feel something for me too? I lowered my head, unable to resist the urge to kiss her lips. Her soft, red lips came closer to my sight, and just as I was about to kiss her, the phone rang, ruining the moment. Rosaline quickly regained her composure and pushed me away. "Your phone." I sighed, glanced at the screen, and set the phone aside. Out of the corner of her eye, Rosaline saw the name "Heidi" flashing on the screen. Her expression immediately turned cold. "It's your Tessa, calling for you!" She emphasized the last three words and pushed me away. The phone kept ringing, and I had no choice but to answer. "Tessa, what's wrong?" "Caden, my wound hurts," Heidi's voice came through the receiver. I frowned, speaking in a low tone, "If it hurts, let the doctor check it." "But I miss you ... Can you come to the hospital and check on me?" Heidi's voice sounded a little whiny. Rosaline smirked, leaning in close to my phone, teasing. "Caden, didn't you just say you wanted to hug me?" I was taken aback and quickly said, "I've got something to do." Hanging up the phone, I looked at Rosaline and asked, "Are you jealous?" Rosaline rolled her eyes, and then suddenly changed the subject. "What are you planning to do about Heidi?"I met her gaze seriously and replied, "Rosaline, I know you're bothered by Tessa's presence. But eight years ago, she saved my life. She's my savior, and I can't just ignore her." "So, even after she betrayed Eclipse Group and framed me, you can just let it go?" Rosaline's tone turned colder. I cleared my throat. "I'll hold a press conference to clear things up and restore your reputation. As for Heidi, I'll make sure she's well taken care of in the future, but that's all." "Are you going to let her be a burden to you? Or ... do you still have feelings for her?" Rosaline's face darkened. Seeing her like that, I gently took her hand. "Rosaline, I owe Tessa this. If she didn't save me back then, I wouldn't be the Caden you know today." "Have you never doubted that Heidi isn't Tessa?" Rosaline asked with a smirk. I shook my head. "Tessa has a plum-shaped birthmark on her shoulder, and so does Heidi. Plus, Heidi recounted the events from back then perfectly." Rosaline stared at me without saying anything. After a while, she said, "I suspect that Heidi and Everett have some hidden secrets. Her betrayal of Eclipse Group isn't just about framing me. " I reached out to hug her. "Don't worry, I'll make sure we get to the bottom of this." Rosaline calmly pushed me away, stood up from the bed, and glanced at me. "Aren't you sick? You should rest." I frowned and asked, "What about you?" "I'll sleep on the couch," she said nonchalantly, grabbing a blanket and heading toward the living room. She walked away without hesitation. Watching her retreating figure, I clenched my fists. I would make sure she came back to me as soon as possible! Rosaline's POV: I walked over to the couch and lay down. After tonight's award ceremony, everyone knew that I was the boss behind Starplay Entertainment.Such a shame, really, considering how I preferred to keep a low profile. Now that my secret was out, I doubt I would be able to live as carefreely as I did before. Lost in my thoughts, I drifted off to sleep. The next morning. The bright sunlight streamed through the glass window, casting a warm glow over the bed. I groggily woke up, and as I opened my eyes, I unexpectedly locked gazes with a pair of deep eyes. "Caden, what are you doing here?" I froze for a moment, seeing the familiar handsome face before me. I looked around, realizing I had no idea how I had ended up in bed. Wasn't I sleeping on the couch last night? Did he carry me to bed? "What are you trying to do, Caden?" I asked him warily. Caden smirked, a playful glint in his eyes. "Looks like someone's eager for a cuddle." It took me a moment to realize that my hands were wrapped around his neck. Feeling embarrassed, I quickly pulled my hands away. "Freya, what's going on?" I asked. Last night, I vaguely remembered dreaming about hugging my childhood teddy bear and even kissing it a few times. Oh no! I didn't do anything last night, did I? "Don't worry, I was asleep as well. But if he had, I would've noticed it," Freya answered, sounding relaxed.
