Chapter: 311

He changed positions and told her, "Don't expect you'll be able to sleep tonight."

By dawn, Alicia slumped against him, barely managing to sleep for two hours.

Caden held her with one arm while flipping through a book with the other. The sound of the pages turning was almost soothing.

“What time is it?" Alicia asked in a hoarse voice as soon as she opened her eyes.

Caden glanced at her eyes, noticing how they shimmered Like morning dew.

They weren't filled with tears.

Her eyes shimmered gently, drawing him in with their soft and captivating beauty.

His eyes followed the Line of her chin, down to her smooth neck and soft shoulders, taking in the delicate shape of her figure.

After a while, he finally said, “It's a little past nine."

Alicia thought about her tasks for the day.

She didn't have anything urgent to finish.

The only person who might cause trouble was Joshua, but he had been preoccupied lately.

Satisfied, she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.

As Alicia closed her eyes, she asked, "Then why aren't you at the office?"

Caden ran his hand over her waist, clearly unwilling to let go.

"Someone's holding on to me like a second skin. How can I leave?"

Alicia had no response.

Who was he talking about?

How ridiculous!

She brushed his hand away, sliding off him and settling onto the pillow.

The pillow was soft, and of high quality, but it didn't compare to the firmness of his body.

She sighed quietly.

It would have to do for now.

Caden stretched his stiff arm before getting up to wash.

He placed an order for breakfast and arranged for a set of women's clothes to be delivered.

As she listened to the sounds around her, it became clear he was about to leave.

She turned her head and called, “Caden.”

Caden was adjusting his tie. He stood tall and straight. "Yes?"

"Do me a favor and cut back on those stamina pills," she said with a hint of concern in her tone.

Caden stayed silent.
