Chapter: 204

Then realization hit her. “Oh, I'm just used to only serving myself."

Her comment unexpectedly softened Caden's demeanor.

Thereafter, he stood up to grab cutlery for himself.

Noticing Caden savoring the meal, Alicia took the opportunity to ask, “When will you give me the rest?"

Caden continued to eat leisurely and responded, "The job isn't finished yet. There's no need to hurry."

Alicia countered, "But you promised you wouldn't sleep with me!"

Caden lifted his gaze slightly.

"I wasn't saying that. I was referring to the pear soup."

Alicia found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Feeling frustrated, she exclaimed, “Can you please stop giving me mixed signals?"

Caden replied with a calm demeanor, "Which of my words misled you? Did I say anything alluding to sex?"

Alicia countered, "You knew exactly what you were suggesting."

"I can't speak for that, but your mind certainly seems to wander,"

Caden replied after he took a leisurely sip of his soup. "But I understand. With my skills, it's only natural that women can't resist me after we've been intimate."

His comment left Alicia at a loss for words.

Did that imply he had been with many women?

She tightened her grip on the fork and said, “Have you been with a lot of them?"

Caden smirked and asked, "What do you think?"

Alicia studied his handsome face, trying to gauge his response.

He was a handsome man, and he was in the prime of his life.

In all honesty, he looked like a playboy with a string of sexual affairs and numerous illegitimate children all over the world. He might even have an STD.

The fact that she lost her virginity to someone so vile made her feel uneasy.

As a result, when she brought the pear soup to him, her movements were somewhat clumsy.

“Eat this, and then settle your debt with me," she said, making her impatience visible.

Noticing her irritated expression, Caden remained still.

“I'm too exhausted," he replied.

Alicia furrowed her brow. "What do you mean by that?"

"Feed me," he said.

Alicia's face showed clear irritation.

If Caden hadn't taken advantage of her before, she might have agreed without hesitation.
