Chapter: 636
He scoffed.
There she was, conversing with a robot.
Yet, she ignored him as if he didn't exist.
Alicia attended a charity event that evening.
In the photographs circulated in the news, she appeared absolutely stunning, poised, and alluring.
She stood out like a brilliantly blooming rose.
Captivated by her elegance, Caden found it hard to divert his gaze.
How could anyone be so effortlessly beautiful?
Frustrated, he flipped his phone face down, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The following afternoon, Alicia returned to Warrington.
Having been on the road for several days, her diet had been poor, and now her stomach was upset. She planned to cook something light for dinner.
She thought about that stubborn man.
After a brief hesitation, she decided to call him.
Caden answered with clarity, "What's up, busy philanthropist?"
His tone was light and teasing, which made Alicia feel somewhat resentful.
“Have you had dinner?" she inquired.
"No," he replied.
"Would you like to come over for dinner?"
There was a pause before Caden responded, “Are you trying that old trick again, Alicia? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
Alicia didn't respond immediately.
Then she exhaled and said, "Suit yourself."
She purchased fresh ribs and prepared rib soup.
Even after her meal, Caden was still absent.
She filled a bowl for Cade.
As Cade happily wagged his tail while eating, a smile spread across her face.
"You're definitely cuter than Caden."
No sooner had she spoken than she heard the sound of the door unlocking.
The man who had just entered, less adorable than any dog, stood at the doorway.
Caden was surprised. He hadn't expected her to actually go home and cook. The aroma of the rib soup wafted towards him, igniting a pang of hunger.
He had also brought dinner, a takeout from a fancy restaurant that was visually appealing and aromatic. However, it paled in comparison to the homemade rib soup Alicia had prepared.
