The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 476

Caspian had beautiful eyes.

When he smiled, they exuded a bewitching, heart-stealing charm, practically radiating the effortless grace of a noble heir.

Yet, as he looked at me with unyielding certainty and delivered those words, those inherently seductive fox eyes suddenly possessed a profound, quiet depth. They were so clear and pure that my mind went blank for a split second.

My heart skipped a beat before racing frantically. I felt even more flustered now than when he had simply flashed me that dazzling smile.

"Dr... Dr. Cross, why are you telling me this?" He had already told me all this before dinner, so why was he repeating it now?

It felt a bit deliberate.

"Because I want you to know that I'm single." Caspian's voice was a soft whisper, carrying a trace of intoxicating allure.

He was incredibly tall. Standing in front of me, he cast his gaze downward, his raven-black lashes half-hooding those dark eyes. The dim lighting rendered his gaze hazy and mesmerizing, a strange, thick fog swirling in their depths.

I wanted to ask him again why he needed me to know he was single.

But he seemed to anticipate my words and softly interjected, "I think you know exactly what I mean."

Did I know?

I didn't.

The moment Caspian spoke, he hit the absolute jackpot. Her eyes practically vanished as her face split into a massive grin. "Sister? Oh, stop it. I'm Selena's mother. You should call me Lucille."

"Lucille? Truly?" Caspian froze, looking genuinely astounded by the revelation, to the point where he couldn't speak for a good few seconds.

His reaction pleased Lucille to no end. At her age, it was all about maintaining youth, and being mistaken for a sister meant she had succeeded phenomenally.

She grew even more delighted, grabbing Caspian's arm to drag him into Silas's ward. "You look like such a wonderful young man. Selena is incredibly lucky to have a friend like you. Don't just stand out here—come inside and sit down."

Caspian recovered from his momentary shock, putting on a perfectly obedient facade as he prepared to follow Lucille into Silas's ward. He even added with a laugh, "Actually, Selena and I came to visit Silas earlier, but we missed you, Lucille. Thank goodness I stuck around a bit longer, otherwise, I would have missed out on meeting you."
