Chapter: 333

This fact surprised her.

Had he stayed out all night because he was with another woman?

Caden started unbuttoning his shirt without a word. “So? What happened next?"

Alicia felt a surge of bitterness, and she pressed her lips tightly together. "Nothing."

Caden looked over at her.

She was wrapped in a thin blanket, but he noticed she had changed her clothes.

There were light marks on her neck. They were barely visible but enough for Caden to notice. At first glance, they kind of looked Like hickeys.

Caden scoffed.

He pictured what might have happened between them, and the thought angered him. “Didn't you say Joshua was impotent?"

Alicia stared at him in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Caden suddenly realized how ridiculous his thoughts had become, and it made him laugh bitterly.

"You've really outdone yourself," he sneered. "Impressive."

Alicia said nothing.

When she understood the accusation behind his words, her heart sank.

"Caden, what is the matter with you?"

Did he actually see something? He didn't even know enough to make accusations!

Caden stayed composed. "Did you at least shower? I don't want my sofa to be tainted."

Alicia's eyes reddened with anger as she bit her lip and glared at him. “Do you really think I spent the night at the Yates Mansion, sleeping with Joshua?"

Caden's expression remained indifferent. “What else am I supposed to think? Are you still playing innocent with him? At this point, what's the point of pretending?"

Alicia had thought she could depend on him.

And with everything she knew, what was left for her to be afraid of?

What Caden didn't realize was that it was those very things that gave her the courage to finally confront Joshua last night.

Unlike him, she couldn't afford to assume victory.

She had to weigh every decision carefully.

She had planned to explain everything, but now it felt pointless.

Swallowing her grievance, she spoke with quiet disappointment.

"Believe whatever you want."

She tossed aside the blanket and got up. “Sorry for ruining your sofa. I'll replace it."

With that, she turned to leave.

Caden's voice hardened. “Where do you think you're going?"
