Chapter 191 Playboy Kayden

Next day the silent house was adorned with elegant decor, the sunlight filtering through tall windows that cast warm, golden hues across the polished floors. Kayden and Medusa descended the grand staircase, their footsteps echoing softly in the spacious foyer. Kayden's recovery from the attack had been a quick process, he was finally feeling strong enough to move around.

As they reached the foot of the stairs, a gentle knock on the door drew their attention. Medusa shared a quick glance with Kayden before heading to the entrance, her flowing hair trailing behind her like his shadow.

The door creaked open to reveal Lydia, a close friend of the family. Her eyes lit up as she saw Medusa and Kayden. "Hey there, you two! How is everything going?"

Medusa smiled warmly. "Hello, Lydia. Kayden's doing much better, thank you for asking."

Lydia's gaze shifted to Kayden, concerned with etching her features. "Hey, Kayden. How are you feeling? You made us all worried."

Kayden managed a faint smile, leaning against the staircase railing for support. "I'm on the mend, Lydia. Thanks for the well wishes."

Without hesitation, Lydia stepped forward and enveloped Kayden in a gentle hug. Her embrace was warm and comforting, a reminder of the strong bond they shared as friends.

Medusa watched the interaction with a glare which she tried to hide, though she was appreciating Lydia's genuine concern for Kayden. As Lydia pulled away, she looked up at him with a playful grin. "Well, you better be taking good care of yourself now, alright? We can't have you falling for any other conspiracy."

Kayden chuckled, his energy visibly lifted by Lydia's presence. "I promise, I will be more careful from now on."

Lydia's attention turned back to Medusa, her expression affectionate. "And how have you been holding up, Medusa? Taking care of this stubborn patient?"

Medusa's eyes glinted with amusement as she faked a smile. "Oh, you know Kayden. He is a handful, but I have managed to keep him in check. After all, we are bound."

Lydia laughed, the sound light and melodious. "I have no doubt about that. You have always been the one to keep things in order."

Lydia's gaze turned back to Kayden, her expression softening. "Well, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. And remember, we are all here for you." Kayden nodded, touched by Lydia's words. "Thank you, Lydia. It means a lot."

Finally, taking a deep breath, Kayden made his way to the patio where Lydia was sitting on a wrought iron chair, a book in her hands. Her presence exuded calmness, and he hoped it would ease the nerves that had settled in his stomach.

"Hey, Lydia," he greeted, his voice a touch hesitant. Lydia looked up from her book, her eyes lighting up with a warm smile. "Yes, Kayden? Is there something on your mind?"

Kayden took a seat opposite her, fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. "I... I wanted to ask you for a favour." Lydia closed her book, setting it aside and giving him her full attention. "Of course, Kayden. You know you can always ask."

He cleared his throat, his gaze fixed on the tabletop. "You see, the admission forms for the academy are due tomorrow, and... well, I'm still not strong enough to go myself. I was wondering if you could pick up a form for me?"

Lydia's brow furrowed slightly, concerned flitting across her features. He nodded, offering a reassuring smile. "Don't worry I'm better, but I still need to take things slowly. I don't want to risk any outbursts again."

Understanding dawned in Lydia's eyes, and she reached across the table, placing her hand over his. "I'm glad you are being careful. And of course, I would be happy to help. Just give me the details, and I will pick up the form for you tomorrow."

Relief flooded through Kayden, and he let out a sigh he didn't realize he'd been holding. "Thank you, Lydia. You are a lifesaver." She chuckled softly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "No problem at all. It is what friends are for, right? We are also bound too, so that is there."

Kayden's gaze met hers, gratitude shining in his eyes. "You are more than just a friend, Lydia. You have always been there for me, and I can't thank you enough." He knew how to convince ladies to trap them and take advantage of their innocence and false expectations.

Lydia's smile deepened, and she leaned in slightly. "Well, you have been there for me too, Kayden. It's what makes our friendship special. I am glad that we are here like this, as blood bonded mates."

The quiet of the afternoon was interrupted only by the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze. Lydia and Kayden stood near the entrance, the porch light bathing them in a warm, golden hue.

Lydia adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder, a contemplative expression on her face. "Well, I better get going, Kayden. It's been an adventurous and dangerous day, haha."

Kayden nodded, his gaze meeting hers. "Thank you again for agreeing to pick up the admission form for me, Lydia. I really appreciate it."

As Lydia turned to leave, Kayden felt a surge of gratitude welling up within him. He took a step closer, his heart pounding slightly. "Lydia, wait."

She turned back to him, curiosity in her eyes. Before he could overthink it, he reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face, his fingertips grazing her cheek. It was a simple, tender gesture, but it held a world of unspoken emotions.

Lydia's breath caught, her gaze locking with his. The air between them seemed charged with a newfound energy, a hint of something more than friendship. And then, without another word, Kayden leaned in and placed a soft, lingering kiss on her cheek.

A faint blush coloured Lydia's cheeks, her surprise giving way to a warm smile. "Kayden..."

He met her eyes, his voice soft yet sincere. "Thank you for everything, Lydia."

As she turned to leave once more, a small, contented smile played on her lips. "You're welcome, Kayden. Take care, okay?"
