The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 621

At the time, his sudden warning had startled me. I had no idea how he knew what I was planning or exactly how much he knew, and I hadn't taken his warning to heart at all.

But in reality, my subconscious had clearly absorbed Ferris's warning. Without realizing it, I altered my behavior based on his words and genuinely distanced myself from Tiffany.

Even my visits to her were perfectly timed for the mornings when she was still fast asleep.

Tiffany was a typical young person with a completely flipped schedule—sleeping all day and partying all night. I chose to visit in the morning specifically to avoid her waking hours and minimize our contact.

But why would I take Ferris's words to heart and act according to his advice?

This shocking realization left me completely stunned. I spaced out for a long time until Tiffany twisted her neck to look back at me, and our eyes met.

Tapping her perky nose with my finger, I smiled brightly. "Do you think I haven't visited enough? Then how about I come by more often from now on?"

Tiffany really was just a kid, incredibly easy to coax. With just that one sentence, she instantly brightened up again.

By then, we had entered her room. I helped her into bed and took the opportunity to check her basic vitals.

Tiffany was very obedient and cooperative, letting me examine her without taking her bright, large eyes off my face. Her gaze was intense and increasingly passionate.

So passionate, in fact, that it made me slightly flustered.

Feeling bad about just exchanging a few words and leaving, I sat down and peeled an orange for her.

"My angel, here, open up." Tiffany took the orange, carefully picked off the white pith, and then fed a slice right into my mouth.

She really was adorable, especially when she smiled.
