Chapter: 200

Once again, Alicia was left speechless.

How annoying!

Caden chuckled inwardly, aware that she was silently cursing him, yet he chose to remain quiet.

Before long, the groceries arrived at the door.

Alicia carried them into the kitchen.

Every now and then, she could hear him cough softly from the other room.

Glancing back, she noticed he was already seated at his desk, engrossed in his work.

When he kept quiet, he appeared quite handsome. It was a shame that he had such a sharp tongue.

Alicia peeled a pear and set it in a small pot.

Next, she sprinkled a bit of sugar on the peeled fruit.

The doctor mentioned today that he was weak.

She thought this would serve as a good source of nourishment for him.

After covering the pot, she looked around and discovered the cupboards were completely bare.

It was as if no one lived in the apartment at all.

She then pulled out her phone and ordered a variety of items.

Buying all those items cost her a lot of money.

“Caden, you're going to reimburse me for the stuff I bought, right?" she asked.

Caden raised an eyebrow. "How much was it?"

Alicia glanced at the receipt, which totaled over three thousand dollars.

She exclaimed, "Three hundred ninety thousand dollars!"

“What on earth did you buy, gold?" said Caden.

"Are you saying you can't afford it?"

"Correct," he said.

Alicia found herself at a loss for words.

He was incredibly stingy.

As Alicia peeled shrimp, Caden set aside his work and approached her to supervise.

She had just finished washing the shrimp.

Now, she used scissors to snip off the fins of the shrimp.

Before long, she had a pile of shrimp with the shells completely removed.

Alicia was impressive.
