Chapter 148
Once Wyatt finished his bath, he changed into his Pikachu pajares. “Ophelia, I can’t sleep with you tonight. I’m going to find that uncle.”
Before Ophelia could react, Wyatt was already hugging his pillo and running downstairs.
Just as she was about to get out of bed to check, Kenneth pulleder back onto the bed. His deep, husky voice had a seductive undertone as he whispered in her ear. “Ophelia, he can’t sleep with you, but I can.”
Ophelia anxiously glanced towards the door, her hands pressing against Kenneth’s chest. “What did you tell Wyatt?”
Seeing her nervous and worried expression, Kenneth teased. “Of course, it’s a guy’s talk.”
Ophelia was speechless and thought, ‘Wyatt’s just a kid!
“Don’t teach him bad habits!” Otherwise, she couldn’t explain it to Chloe,
Kenneth’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Some things he’ll learn when he grows up.”
That one sentence left Ophelia completely unsure. She thought What on earth did this guy say?”
From her expression, it was clear her thoughts weren’t exactly pure. He leaned down to capture her lips in a deep kiss. releasing her only when Ophelia’s breathing became rapid.
just told him that I can only fall asleep holding you. Then, the little guy mocked and criticized me.”
“Really?”
“What else?” Kenneth wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulled the blanket over them, and whispered softly in her/
ear. I can’t exactly tell him all the details***
As he spoke, Ophelia felt the change in his body but didn’t dare make a sound since the door was still open.
Kenneth’s kisses landed sofily and gradually as he pinned her beneath him.
Suddenly, his vision went dark. He braced one hand firmly on the pillow while his other hand stopped moving.
Ophelia placed her hands on Kenneth’s shoulders. “What’s wrong?”
Two seconds later, Kenneth tightly shut his eyes, and when he opened them again, his vision was clear. “I spent too long. giving the kid a bath, and the bathroom was too hot.”
“Come here.” Kenneth said, wrapping his arm around her waist and easily shifting their positions.
Ophelia pressed her hands against his strong chest, biting her lip hard, her cheeks flushed red. But even so, she couldn’t take control.
The next morning, as Ophelia slowly made her way downstairs, supporting her back, Wyatt had already finished his -breakfast. She shot a fierce look at the refreshed Kenneth.
Wyatt said, “Good morning, Ophelia!”
“Good morning. Wyatt.” Ophelia said, walking over to Wyatt and gently ruffling his little head.
“It’s not that early, you know. Mommy’s coming to pick me up soon.” Wyatt was already dressed and sitting on the living

room couch.
Ophelia checked the time and realized it really wasn’t early anymore. She thought, ‘Am I the last one to wake up? Oh wait, no, Noah still hasn’t woken up either!
A few minutes later, Chloe arrived at Rosewood Manor to pick up Wyatt.
“Mommy!” Wyatt jumped off the couch and ran to the door, throwing himself into Chloe’s arms.
Chloe held him and glanced inside the house. Ophelia was carefully wrapping foam around all the sharp corners. “Sorry for all the trouble, Elia.”
Ophelia said, “Not at all, Wyatt has been such a good boy. By the way, I took a lot of pictures of him yesterday. I’ll send them to you soon.
Chloe said, “Alright then, we’ll head out now.”
Ophelia had planned to see them off, but Chloe stopped her. “I cold outside, don’t catch a cold.”
“Goodbye, Ophelia!” Wyatt waved to Ophelia, and then waved inside at Kenneth. “Bye, Ken who never grows up!”
‘Ken who never grows up? Ophelia thought and covered her mouth to hide a laugh. “Wyatt really minded Kenneth’s naive behavior.‘/
Just after stepping out, Wyatt turned back to look at the second floor. “Oh, gotta say goodbye to Uncle too.”
Never mind, he stayed up late telling me stories last night. Let’s go, Mommy.” Wyatt turned his head and tugged on Chloe’s hand, leaving the villa.
In the guest room upstairs, Noah stretched as he walked out, wearing black pajamas and sporting dark circles under his eyes. “Is that little kid leaving today?
Noah bent down and looked down from the second floor. “Is the person picking him up that kid’s mom?” As he spoke, his heart suddenly beat faster.
He immediately clutched his chest. “Oh no, I knew I shouldn’t have stayed up late. Now I’m in trouble. My heart’s acting up- I need to go back and get some more sleep”
In front of the villa, Wyatt suddenly stopped and turned around. Not saying goodbye to that strange man made him feel like something was missing inside.
Chloe also glanced back with Wyatt but didn’t see anything. “What’s wrong?”
Wyatt said, “It’s nothing, let’s go, mom.”
It was the annual political and business gala in Dellanex. The event was being held on a large, highly private cruise ship. Originally, when Henry mentioned it to her, she didn’t plan to attend this gala, but she wanted to develop the slums. To obtain the rights to develop the slum area, she still needed approval from political figures.
It was said that politics and business were inseparable, and many businesses that succeed in the market needed to keep good relations with the political world. Even the three major families in Dellanex were no exception.
“Are you going to the banquet tonight?” Ophelia asked.
Kenneth gave a cold snort. They didn’t invite me.”

Ophelia was confused and thought. What? How could they not vite him?
Kenneth seemed to have noticed Ophelia’s confusion and explained, ‘If I show up, what fun would they have?
With such an arrogant tone, she didn’t feel anything wrong at all saying it. The they he was talking about were probably those bigwigs in the political scene
Indeed, if Kenneth went there, he would just be stealing their spotlight. The so–called political–business dinner was really just an event specifically organized for people in politics.
“I’ll try to come back carly.” Ophelia wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.
“Okay.” Ophelia had the Carnegie family backing him, so there was nothing for him to worry about.
Ophelia casually put on a white tuxedo evening gown, her hair tied back, looking very professional.
It was seven o’clock in the evening. Among the people boarding the ship, Ophelia’s outfit was the most ordinary. Guests must show an invitation, otherwise they couldn’t enter.
As Caleb and Barrett were about to enter with Ophelia, they were stopped by security. “Sorry, gentlemen, you can’t enter Barrett asked. “Why not? We need to protect Mrs. Sinclair.”
The man said, “Our security is very tight, rest assured. No one can enter without
t an invitation.”
The requirements inside were very strict; guests couldn’t bring anyone in. It was understandable, after all, many big names were attending this dinner, and of course their safety must be ensured.
Reluctantly. Barrett and Caleb had to stay outside in the car. Before boarding, there were two rounds of security checks with very strict requirements.
