Chapter: 704
Caden was at a loss for words.
Her remark stung deeply.
Born into wealth, he was accustomed to being the object of women's affection. He had never needed to pursue anyone.
Well... That wasn't completely accurate.
Except for Alicia.
Suddenly, memories of their intimate moments flashed in his mind, causing him to swallow hard. Reluctantly, he asked, “Then... could you give me a chance?"
The words came out strained.
He felt deeply embarrassed.
Alicia caught his intense look. She was seething with anger but had no way to vent it.
Who would have guessed Caden was like this? The colder she treated him, the more his passion seemed to grow.
He seemed to recognize no limits.
Alicia didn't want to stay in the chilly wind any longer, nor did she want to be an object of mockery for bystanders.
She bowed her head and walked straight to the car.
Sensibly, Caden hastened to open the car door for her.
Alicia refused to accept his gesture. She walked around to the other side and got in on her own.
Even if they weren't arguing, Caden would have still opened the door for her. He didn't see any need for her to fuss over such small details.
Alicia started the car.
Just as he was about to join her in the passenger seat, she placed her bag there, blocking him.
He looked up and wanted to ask, “Why take it this far?"
But after a moment's thought, given their strained relations, he said, “Alright, I understand. Out of sight, out of mind, right?"
He moved to the back seat, and as he was settling in, Alicia abruptly drove off.
His tall and solid frame meant his head directly hit the car headliner.
A dull thud sounded.
He steadied himself using the armrest, gazing gloomily at Alicia in the driver's seat.
He paused for a moment before saying, "Nice driving."
Alicia caught his reflection in the rearview mirror.
He straightened his clothes and settled into his seat, appearing unaffected.
She clenched her teeth.
She should have slammed the gas pedal to make his head hurt even more!
She entered a destination into the GPS.
