Chapter: 395

Alicia felt a rush of warmth to her cheeks. She approached him quickly, rising onto her tiptoes to press her lips against his.

She stared into his eyes as tears welled up in hers.

For a moment, she wanted to ask him why he was being so kind to her.

His affection enveloped her like the sun on a chilly day, but she sensed that Caden's kindness was intentional.

She couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't genuine.

This only deepened her confusion. What could be the reason behind it?

Her thoughts swirled, prompting her to push the matter aside. Feeling flustered, she turned her attention to other tasks.

Caden smiled at her.

He remained silent, wanting to preserve the moment.

As they admired the new painting in the apartment, Caden suggested, "Since we're already doing renovations, why not update a few other things as well?"

Alicia furrowed her brow. “What renovations? We just hung a painting."

“True, but that still counts."

For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Since it was his apartment, she assumed he had the freedom to make any changes he wanted. She nodded in agreement. "It's up to you. I'll take care of the expenses."

Caden wore a knowing expression.

"Aren't you curious about what I plan to change?"

Alicia almost replied that she didn't mind, but as soon as_ she looked into his eyes, an uneasy feeling washed over her.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "What are you planning to change?"

Caden raised an eyebrow. “I can't say right now."

She found herself at a loss for words.

Then why bring it up?

With the apartment undergoing renovations, Alicia decided to stay with Monica.

Caden chose to remain at the office.

Since they were spending nights apart, they had little opportunity to meet. She concentrated on her classes and studies, and time flew by.

Every now and then, she caught wind of some gossip.

Joshua had been busy preparing for the company's listing, rushing around to manage various projects. The fatigue on his face was clear whenever he was photographed.

In contrast, Caden's news received significant attention.

His company had launched some new tech products and established a partnership with another leading group, and in the photos, he radiated confidence without any need for retouching.

The contrast between him and Joshua was striking.

Alicia glanced at Caden's face and instinctively smiled.
