Chapter: 474
Thankfully, Monica came back soon, much to Alicia's relief.

She quietly sought help. “Monica, I want to leave."

Monica, slightly drunk and cheerful, asked loudly, "You want to leave?"

Alicia was dumbfounded.

Monica was so loud!

Indeed, Monica's loud question drew Gerry's attention. “Why so soon? Caden just arrived."

That was exactly why Alicia wanted to leave.

However, she kept her thoughts to herself, not wanting to worsen the situation with Caden.

She had given up on arguing with him by now.

Monica didn't want her to go. Even though the alcohol made her slow to respond, she was strong and held onto Alicia firmly.

Seeing Monica like this, Alicia felt obligated to stay and watch over her.

The bar attracted many bold and attractive women, and soon a few approached Gerry.

One especially daring person sat right next to Caden and wanted to have a drink with him.

Caden didn't turn her away. He casually lowered his glass to meet hers.

Seizing the moment, the woman leaned in closer, trying to strike up a conversation while her curvy body was nearly against his.

“Hey, do you have a girlfriend?"

Caden didn't push her away or invite her closer. He said plainly, "Do you really want to know? You're already in my arms, right?"

The woman chuckled.

It wasn't just his handsome appearance that was attractive; it was his charismatic aura blended with a hint of danger that made him truly captivating.

She moved even closer to Caden, now nearly attached to him, and took his drink, “Let me try this."

After leaving a suggestive mark of her lipstick, she returned the glass to him.

"It's not that great," she said boldly. "I'd prefer to taste the drink from your lips."

Alicia kept her gaze lowered, avoiding looking at them.

Yet, she couldn't block out their voices.

Was Caden quiet because he was kissing her? Were they kissing now?

The mere idea of it left her feeling choked up.

Alicia clenched her fingers tightly, remaining silent.

Monica was shocked by Caden's behavior.

She leaned in and whispered to Alicia, “What is Caden doing?"

Wasn't everything fine earlier today?
