Chapter: 446

She hesitated for a couple of seconds before shaking her head.

Monica wasn't convinced.

But Alicia knew she needed to be careful, especially after the recent issues with Joshua.

After dinner at Monica's, Alicia left.

She picked up Cade from the pet store and went back to Caden's apartment.

The place was empty.

Alicia didn't ask Caden about his whereabouts. She fed Cade, arranged his sleeping area, and then headed to the study to get some work done.

The incident at the art exhibition stirred up a flurry of online debates, but the topic quickly disappeared.

It was likely suppressed by the Green family.

Probably Jerald had a hand in it too; he wouldn't let Joshua's actions taint their family's reputation.

After such an incident, both families would help Joshua.

Alicia felt a moment of anxiety.

But then she recalled Caden's assurance to handle everything.

Her tension eased, and she let out a sigh.

She carefully started preparing for her class the next day.

She had a lesson tomorrow and aimed to go to bed early. However, the bed felt oddly empty with Caden away for the night.

So, she moved with her blanket to the sofa.

Cade cuddled next to her.

As she was drifting off, Alicia heard a faint whisper.

Reaching out to pet Cade, she touched something cold instead.

What was that?

Alicia opened her eyes, puzzled, to see a dark figure looming over her.

A familiar scent wrapped around her immediately.

He expertly parted her lips, seducing her as their tongues danced together.

Alicia was now fully alert.

She pushed Caden's head back, her breath quick as she stared at him in disbelief.

Noticing her puzzled expression, Caden asked with a raspy voice, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Alicia stuttered, "I thought... I was dreaming. I thought Cade had turned into a human."

Caden was at a loss for words.

He rolled her over.
