Chapter: 478

Alicia knew Monica often boasted but was shy in reality, so she declined the male escort's offer politely.

As they left the bar, the Flynn family's driver pulled up.

He took Monica from Alicia and expressed his gratitude to Alicia.

Alicia offered a polite smile.

Monica rested against the car window, gazing at the male escort with a look of regret, her thoughts unclear.

"Alicia, I've already paid. You should have some fun with him too."

Alicia found herself at a loss for words.

Monica squinted, holding up two fingers.

"Just two of them!" Monica yelled. "That's more than Caden ever..."

Alicia, horrified, dashed over to cover Monica's mouth.

She hurriedly pushed Monica into the car and told the driver to roll up the window.

Curious, Gerry inquired, “More than what?"

Alicia, under Caden's intense scrutiny, managed an awkward smile. "I don't know. She talks nonsense when she's drunk."

Gerry understood and nodded.

It was late and cold, and Gerry was ready to head home to sleep. He asked Caden, “Shall we head back together?"

Caden kept his eyes on Alicia.

With no emotion, he responded, "Go ahead. I'm going to have a smoke."

Gerry thought little of it and walked to his car.

Alicia looked around and realized the male escort was missing.

Caden flicked his lighter and lit a cigarette. "He's in the car outside waiting for you."

She glanced at him.

It was the first time Caden had smoked in front of her. Surprisingly, it made him look even more attractive and mysterious than she had expected.

His effortless cool seemed to captivate women easily.

She responded indifferently, “Alright.”

Her voice carried a distant tone.

As she began to walk away, Caden narrowed his eyes and said, “Hooking up with someone randomly when you're upset isn't a sensible way to cope."

Alicia stopped in her tracks.

Her eyes locked with his, which carried a mocking spark.

He added, “Moreover, he's not particularly impressive in size."

Alicia inhaled deeply.
