Chapter: 199

With his eyes closed, Caden replied lazily, "Whatever. I don't care."

Even though he claimed to be indifferent, Alicia knew better by now.

“How about fish soup and a light beef stir-fry?" she suggested.

Just as she expected, Caden was a picky eater. “I don't like fish soup."

“Then how about beef?" she offered.

“I don't want beef either."

She was dumbfounded by his response.

Trying to keep her patience, she said, “You're sick, and your throat's sore. Maybe something easy to digest? How about a Light soup?"

"I'll get hungry again too quickly. I have work later.”

"In that case, eat something heavier," she countered.

"That'll just make me run to the bathroom more. It's too much trouble."

Once again, Alicia was annoyed.

"What do you think about pasta? It will be good with mushrooms," she suggested.

"I hate the taste of mushrooms," said Caden.

Through gritted teeth, Alicia asked, "Then what the hell do you want to eat?"

Caden tapped his forehead lightly and said, “Anything is fine."

This time, Alicia couldn't stand it any longer.

She had lost her cool. “Eat whatever the hell you want. I give up!"

At that moment, Caden's phone rang.

He calmly picked up his phone, and answered, “Hello?”

Hank's voice came through clearly. “Mr. Ward, there's a meeting scheduled this afternoon. Will you be joining online?"

Without missing a beat, Caden casually responded, “Oh? Do you have more information about what Randolph did?"

Hank felt a wave of confusion wash over him. He had no idea what his boss was doing.

"Who are you talking to? I never mentioned Randolph," Hank thought, puzzled by the sudden shift in the conversation.

As Alicia glanced in his direction, Caden rubbed his forehead in irritation. "There's no need for that. I've changed my mind; I don't want them anymore."

Hank was bewildered. "What do you mean?"

Alicia stood up, clearly annoyed. “What about shrimp? I can whip up some scrambled eggs for you, too."

Hank caught the voice of a woman and quickly turned up the volume to listen more closely.

Caden ended the call with a satisfied smile creeping onto his face.

"I can live with that."
