Chapter: 1167

The last thing she wanted was for Caden to be hurt.

Trying to hold back her tears, Alicia pleaded, "Caden, can't you bend just this once?"

Caden faced away from her. "If we're not getting married, there's no middle ground. I shouldn't have confined you these past days. You're free to leave whenever you Like."

Caden stopped talking and quickly walked away, leaving Alicia feeling hollow. She paused, then tried to follow, but he was moving too quickly.

He disappeared from view in moments.
