Chapter: 542
He was aware of everything.
“You wanted to know, right? That's why I'm telling you."
Caden's voice was unusually deep and alluring as he spoke.
Alicia nearly believed he was deeply fond of her.
She couldn't resist looking up at him.
He leaned down and kissed her Lips.
It had been some time since he last kissed her, and finding it delightful, he craved more.
Alicia went along without resistance.
She allowed him to proceed as he wished.
Her response delighted Caden, leading him to say, “About that scarf Yolanda wore the other day, I forgot it was from you. I bought another later to make it right."
Alicia was startled.
She had been upset about this for a long time.
Yet, Caden's few words eased away her distress.
She quietly berated herself for her lack of willpower.
Caden's kiss grew more and more intense.
He desired more and more.
Alicia felt aroused as well and murmured softly, "I'm injured..."
Caden held back a little and said in a raspy voice, “We won't do anything."
Then he asked, “If you weren't injured, would you be intimate with me?"
Alicia didn't respond.
The distance that once existed between them had long disappeared.
At first, his interest was purely physical, but it seemed that had changed; his feelings for her had deepened beyond just physical attraction.
She had once been concerned with labels and sought love, but her perspective had evolved. Realizing life was short, she decided being with him was what truly mattered.
Too embarrassed to reply, she shifted the topic. “Weren't you in Averibon? How did you get here so quickly?"
Caden didn't confess that he had arranged a private jet just to save her.
Instead of answering, he asked another question, “When you saw me, you must have felt overwhelmed, right? Don't you think I'm like a knight saving a damsel in distress?"
Alicia playfully answered, “In that situation, I would have thought anyone who appeared was a knight."
Caden let out a soft chuckle.
Alicia, feeling a surge of warmth, couldn't help but smile as well.
However, the tender moment quickly faded when Caden's wandering hand disrupted it.
