Zayne, caught in a swirl ofplicated emotions, found himself hesitating as he sat down opposite Kairi multiple times.


    As he approached, Kairi greeted him with a slight smile and asked, “How did you sleep?”


    “It was good,” Zayne replied, ncing out the window before turning his gaze back to Kairi. Curious, he inquired, “Why didn’t you go inside to rest?”


    Kairi was taken aback for a moment. The Gulfstream ne had only one remodeled bedroom, and despite Zayne’s earlier suggestion that they could share it, she felt it would be inappropriate.


    Worried that she might misunderstand his intentions, Zayne had made it clear from the start that he meant no harm. He simply thought that since their journey was long, it would be more convenient for both to share the spacious bed in the bedroom to rest.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Kairi chose not to respond immediately, allowing Zayne to rest while she remained outside for over ten hours.


    When Zayne asked her about her rest, Kairi awkwardly replied, “I’m a martial artist, so I’m not tired at all. I didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I’m just enjoying the view outside.”


    Zayne sighed, muttering, “Flying from night until morning, there’s really not much scenery to see.”


    Kairi chuckled nervously and quickly shifted the conversation. “I’m curious about why Mr. Wade suddenly called us to the United States. I asked Xion, but she didn’t give me a clear answer. She only mentioned that there might be something significant happening, urging me toe with you as soon as possible.”<fnc694> This update is avable on f?ndnovel</fnc694>


    With a hint of resentment, Zayne replied, “What’s so great about Charlie? Ever since I met him, nothing good has ever happened to me…”


    Kairi looked at him earnestly and said, “Zayne, you really need to reconsider your attitude towards Mr. Wade. Given the history between the Banks family and Bruce, and considering what Mr. Wade did with Abbas regarding Yeling Mountain, it’s quite generous of him to have spared the Banks family.”


    Kairi kept a secret from Zayne. Despite the Elms family no longer being connected to the Banks family, and even though Zayne had be the target of her house arrest, she still referred to him as the eldest young master.


    To Kairi, this title was a sign of respect for Zayne, but Zayne felt it created a certain distance between them.


    Nheless, he acknowledged the truth in Kairi’s words. In the fierce rivalries of wealthy families, if one party intends to kill, it’s usually a fight to the death. The fact that Charlie provided a chance for the Banks family to survive was notable.


    Then Kairi added, “Don’t forget, Mr. Wade not only spared the Banks family but also saved your life, as well as the lives of the eldest youngdy and Xion in Japan. If it weren’t for him, things could have ended very badly.”


    Zayne’s expression momentarily stiffened, then he sighed deeply, saying, “You’re right. I do feel grateful to Charlie. I’m just being a bit stubborn around you. After all, you’re not just anyone. If I have to meet Charlie, I’ll certainly show him respect.”


    Kairi felt a twinge of warmth at his words, realizing that he considered her more than just an acquaintance.


    Over time, she had noticed Zayne’s changing attitude towards her, sometimes sensing a hint of tenderness.


    However, she hesitated to respond. Her insecurities held her back, and she recognized that Zayne was currently facing a challenging phase in his life. In such times, it’smon for a man to harbor resentment towards people and things he once valued.


    But she knew that once a man’s fortunes began to rise again, his feelings would change. The people and things that once held his interest during his lowest points could easily be sources of repulsion or even disdain.
