Chapter: 205

After all, what was the fuss about feeding someone soup? It should only take about ten minutes.

However, Caden was a sly fox.

She knew it could take her at least half an hour to finish.

Suppressing her frustration, Alicia tried to keep her tone even.

"You've tormented me long enough. Aren't you satisfied yet? We're both busy, so just eat quickly, give me what I want, and we can part ways on good terms, alright?"

Caden responded bluntly, “If the situation were reversed, would you let me off so easily?"

Alicia was caught off guard.

She couldn't help but picture herself in his position.

If there ever came a day when she held the upper hand over Caden, forcing him to swallow his pride and plead for her mercy...

He typically exuded arrogance, and was constantly looking down on everyone around him.

Yet, if she were to threaten him, he would have no choice but to obey her every command.

Just the thought of such a scenario made her want to laugh out loud.

But when she returned to reality and caught sight of Caden's imposing face, her irritation only intensified.

At this moment, he was the one relishing the situation.

She was the one who felt like the punchline in this situation.

Alicia tightened her fingers. The last remnants of her hesitation was preventing her from acting.

Caden said casually, "You've put in so much effort to get what you want. Are you really going to throw in the towel now, just at the finish Line?"

As he tried to persuade her, his voice took on a low, soothing tone.

It was almost comforting, if not for the underlying tension between them.

To Alicia, it felt Like he was only intensifying the flames.

"Do you have any idea how much I've done? I've been running around for over an hour just to please you. Can't you at least show a bit of appreciation for my effort?"

Caden flashed a smile. "Sorry, but sympathy isn't really my thing."

Alicia found herself at a loss for words.

He delivered his statement with such conviction.

That was just like Caden.

Suddenly, Caden glanced toward the kitchen. "If we don't hurry, the soup will get cold, which will ruin the flavor. You'll just have to make it again."

Alicia clenched her jaw in frustration.

Noticing her stubbornness, Caden casually pulled out his phone and sent her another email.

"I've already given you two-thirds."

Alicia pursed her lips, reluctantly making her way to the kitchen.
