Draven couldn’t help laughing at Cassia’s comment.

Even if she wanted rock, he’d have to consider whether he could even pull it off.

“Then something softer?”

After scrolling through his playlist for a moment, Draven parted his lips and let his voice flow.

Warm and smooth, yet low and husky, it wrapped around the night like velvet–pure indulgence.

Cassia closed her eyes and listened quietly.

When the song ended, Draven turned to look at her again.

“Wanna hear something else?”

The only reply was the sound of the ocean breeze.

She fell asleep?

Draven leaned closer, slowly and carefully, until their faces were only inches apart.

I wasn’t singing a lullaby and she still drifted off?

A helpless smile tugged at his lips.

His gaze lingered on her soft, delicate features, and his throat tightened instinctively.

He lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss to the center of her forehead.

“Other people charge for concerts. I’ll just take a little payment.”

After a brief pause, Draven stood, bent down, and carefully lifted Cassia from the sand.

Half–asleep, feeling herself suspended in the air, Cassia instinctively reached up.

Her fingers brushed his neck, then curled around it, holding on.

Her chest rose and fell steadily, like a balloon that had finally released its trapped air. The restless unease inside her softened.

Like this, she felt safer.

Draven stopped walking and glanced down at the girl in his arms, the curve of his lips deepening.

It seems that little by little, I’m making my way into her guarded heart.

No rush… I will let her lower her defenses at her own pace.

Carrying her, he walked back toward the convertible.

When Cassia woke up the next morning, she found herself already in her own bed.

Thinking back to last night, she remembered asking Draven to sing for her.

His voice had been beautiful… But after that, her memory blurred.

He must have carried me back.

She hadn’t felt a thing. Normally, even the slightest movement would wake her instantly.

Draven…

That man is dangerous in his own way.

Ding!

Just as she was lost in thought, her phone chimed.

“Cassia, the blood test results are back. It’s confirmed–it’s my blood!”

It was a message from Danica.

“Now we have proof! Cassia, let’s go report her to Dad and Grandma right now! I want to see how that liar keeps pretending after this!”

Cassia typed back, “Don’t rush. This alone isn’t enough. You still need to find the boy who was there that day.”

“Okay! I’ll do whatever you say!”

After giving Danica instructions, Cassia washed up quickly and headed out to the supermarket downstairs to pick up some daily

necessities.

While browsing the aisles, she ran into a familiar face.

“Yo, Cassia! Been a while!”

She turned toward the voice.

A bright–eyed, energetic young man was waving at her from the other side of a shelf.

“Urban?”

Cassia pulled out her phone and glanced at the time.

Right now should’ve been the start of the Abyss qualifiers for Asymmetrical V.

“I thought your team had a match today. Why is the star player wandering around here?”

“Wandering?” Urban jogged over to her side and followed her to the checkout counter.

“I was bored. Just came out to get some air. I’ve got someone holding down the controller position.”

“You’re skipping out like this? Aren’t you afraid your team will lose?”

“It’s fine. There’s still time.” Urban said casually, then reached out to help carry her bag

“Oh, right, have you been watching my matches?” he asked.

“A few.” She let him take the plastic bag.

“And?”

“Not bad.”

“Heh. Coming from you, that’s enough to make my life complete,” Urban grinned.

Just then, his phone rang. It was the team manager.

Urban hesitated before answering.
