Chapter 224 Orion looked at Odalys with a newfound admiration .

If anyone else had their fingers tracing across a mans body like that , he would surely think they were teasing him .

But with Odalys , there was no trace of inappropriate intent Her fingers , precise and clinical , seemed to command respect , not desire .

As they brushed over Percivals skin , he couldnt help but feel a strange , almost mystical , sensation a tingling , as though life itself was stirring within hirn , The illness is probably linked to that village .

Laidnt check his pulse the other night , so Im not sure what exactly is wrong , Odalys murmured .

But as we head back , the poison inside him is starting to stir , almost like its being drawn to something .

It feels like its about to erupt .

Some things , no matter how hard science tries , defy explanation .

Toes that mean returning to the village will solve it ? Orson askel eagerly .

It seemed this trip was yielding more than just one unexpected discovery .

Lets get to the village first , and well know more then , Odalys replied quietly She turned her gaze to Percival , who was elegantly adjusting his shirt .

Despite his serious face , the tips of his ears were bright red .

Did you feel any unusual symptoms when you came to the village the other night ? she asked , her voice soft but probing After straightening his shirt , Percival wiped his fingers with a handkerchief and then handed her a piece of pastry .

Without hesitation , Odalys took it , nibbling as he made her a cup of hot coffee and placed it within her reach .

Felt a bit of unrest in my chest , but it wasnt too noticeable , he said , his tone steady .

Odalys nodded while chewing , mulling over his words .

I think I understand now She took another bite of the pastry Percival peeled an orange and handed her the segments , a gesture so natural it seemed as if they had been doing this forever .

Odalys said with a smile , resting her head against the window as she gazed out at the passing scenery , eating as she went .

Orson sat in the front , glancing at the rearview mirror , observing the natural ease with which Percival and Odalys interacted .

There were no words , but their quiet understanding was unmistakable .

Percival handed her things without question , and Odalys accepted them without hesitation .

It was like they were a pair that had known each other forever .

He couldnt help but smirk at their chemistry .

It was evident that something was going on between them .

What are you smiling about ? Callum asked from the drivers seat , glancing at Orson with a look of mild distaste .

Youre acting like a schoolboy in love .

You wouldnt understand , Onon replied , clearly amused .

He glanced back in the mirror and caught Percivals eyes dark , piercing , and full of something unspoken .

Orson froze , a shiver running through him , and quickly looked away , pretending to sleep , Odalys , oblivious to the exchange , continued muching on her orange , her voice breaking the silence .

If you start feeling bad , just let me know .

Cut it Percival responded quietly .

Odalys finished the orange and noticed Percival offering her some shelled nuts .

She shook her head , I cant eat any more .

Then well save it for later , Percival said with a gentle smile , placing the nuts on the small table beside them .

Odalys looked at lum , noting how his composure was both elegant and quietly intimidating .

There was a quiet power to him that couldnt be konored Pentival , she suddenly called out , her voice low .

He e raised an eyebrow , glancing at her with a touch of curiosity .

Whats up ? I think Sophia might have taken an interest in you , dalys whispered , leaning closer , her tone full of gossip .

After we went out for dinner , she and Henry tried to follow me , IMIL you blocked them by driving into their path 1/2 6:25 PM c Chapter 221 Shes probably noticed you by now .

Lately , shes been trying to cause trouble for me .

During the filming of the variety show , I could feel her jealousy radiating off of her .

She must be investigating now that weve chartered a private plane back to Crownridge .

Im sure she knows I dont have the power to pull that off , so shes probably guessing it was the Stewart family behind it .

Odalys couldnt help but laugh .

The thought of Sophia focusing on her was oddly amusing ou think shes interested in me ! Percivals voice was thick with confusion .

Why does that matter to you ? You He thoughtfully took her hand , grabbed a wet wipe , and started gently cleaning it .

So , does she have a masochistic streak? Did she think getting hit by my car was her idea of fun ? Or maybe she assumed that chartering a private jet to send someone back meant I had no intention of bringing her along Odalys couldnt help herself his words made her burst out laughing , Odalys shrugged and smiled .

Shes into powerful , wealthy men , and you definitely fit that description She probably thought you were dead , but now that she sees thats not the case , the Bennen family will do everything they can to turn this into a public issue .

Odalys smirked , finding the thought of their frustration utterly satisfying Are you happy ? Percival asked thoughtfully , his gaze lingering on her .

Odalys rolled her eyes , casually grabbing a handful of nuts to snack on .

Tunt that an obvious question ? she replied with a shrug .

Percivals voice dropped to a murmur .

As soon as he finished speaking , Odalys sensed something was off .

She opened her mouth to speak , but before she could , Percival handed her his phone .

His voice dropped lower as he said , Take a look .

Maybe this will make you à little happier .

Odalys took the phone and glanced at the screen .

A document popped up , and she tapped on it , her eyes widening as she saw what it was an equity transfer authorization .

As she scrolled down , her heart skipped a beat when she saw Caspians signature .

Did bid Caspian just transfer all his shares to me ? Odalys whispered , her voice filled with disbelief .

Percival , watching her closely , couldnt hide the slight smile tugging at his lips .

He clearly enjoyed seeing her so intrigued .

She seemed so capable , but at the end of the day , she was just a 20 year old girl .

When I left , I was worried the Bennetts might get too cocky , so I had Dorian step in to put some pressure on them .

Caspian , worried about his reputation , offered a polite concession to avoid conflict , Percival explained briefly .

Odalys caught on immediately .

So Dorian just took advantage of the situation , didnt back down , and completely crushed him instead , she murmured .

A grin played at the corners of Percivals mouth Mm , he replied , his voice low and approving .

The conversation flowed easily between them , creating an almost private atmosphere in the back of the car .

Meanwhile , the two people in the front scat were left in awkward silence , feeling like third wheels as they tried to keep up , but it was clear they were being overshadowed by the couples quiet moment of connection .

Just then , Odalys phone vibrated , breaking the mood .

The car rolled to a stop right at the village e entrance , and Percival stepped out , quickly circling around to open her door for her As she stepped our of the car , she answered the phone , saying Whats the update ? Wel abræ voker came il be broken .

O cry , but hes s * injuries .
