Chapter: 677

Gerry was astonished. "My mom gets you a charm, and you still play hard against me?"

Caden adjusted the cue stick. "I am being easy. If not, all the balls would be pocketed."

Gerry was at a loss for words.

He thought to himself, “Enough with the showing off!"

After missing a few shots, Gerry lost interest and teased Caden, “iihat's going on with you? Shouldn't you be spending time with Alicia right now? Why are you playing billiards with me?"

Caden remained silent.

Suddenly, a ball flew off the table and hit Gerry in the face.

Gerry held his reddened forehead, playing innocent. "What? Did I say something off?"

Caden replied coldly, "You know the situation with me and Alicia better than anyone. Why ask?"

Gerry smirked.

“Honestly, Caden, this time around, Alicia is the one wronged. Think about it. Apologizing to a love rival? Would you accept it if you were in her shoes?"

Caden looked at the table.

She truly was wronged, but he had apologized and attempted to make things right, hadn't he?

Without any emotion, he said, "Women are so complicated."

Gerry was intrigued. "Did you guys split just over that?"

Caden confirmed with a nod.

"How delicate." Gerry mused and added, "You've been together just over six months, right? That explains it. Your relationship was on unstable ground. A single push and it falls apart.”

He then asked, "Did Alicia catch you being unfaithful with Yolanda? She wouldn't react so strongly otherwise. I know her pretty well."

Caden shook his head in denial.

There was nothing inappropriate between him and Yolanda. The most they had done was watch the river together in Averibon.

He had always made Alicia feel secure.

She had no real grounds for complaints.

Caden concluded, "She's just throwing a tantrum. Give it a couple of days, I'll smooth things over by persuading her a bit, and it'll all blow over."

Gerry was somewhat taken aback. "You know how to soothe a woman?"

Caden reflected and realized he hadn't actually done much soothing.

Typically, he pleased her in bed, bought gifts, or gave her money.

For the most part, Alicia was reasonable.

He said, “Alicia loves me more. Usually, she doesn't need much persuading; she calms down on her own.”

Gerry smirked. "You're just trying to make me envious."

Caden replied, "You brought it up."
