Chapter: 755

Gerry continued to flood him with messages.

“Why aren't you reacting?" Gerry texted.

Ten minutes later, he sent another message. "They finished their meal and walked out together."

"It's unsafe to be out at this time of night. Aren't you on your way here to take care of something?"

“Caden? What has gotten into you? Did you happen to drop your phone in the toilet?"

"Caden?"

"Do you want me to come help fish it out? Caden?"

As Caden scanned through the barrage of messages, his irritation deepened.

His expression turned icy. He finally replied, "Stop sending me messages."

Gerry was taken aback.

After a few moments, Gerry began to text him again.

“You're not with Alicia anymore?"

Caden responded, “Who she decides to be with is entirely up to her. I couldn't care less."

Gerry was once again left stunned.

He thought to himself, "Well then."

He decided that he would no longer involve himself in their affairs.

After they finished dining together, Alicia and Blake went their separate ways.

Before she left, Blake turned to her and asked, “Would you be able to join me at Joy Mansion tomorrow?"

Alicia hesitated and didn't give an immediate answer. She replied, "I'll check my schedule to see if I have any free time tomorrow."

He reassured her, saying, “No need to worry. Just let me know when you're available, and I can take Ray to treat you to a meal.”

His tone was polite yet firm, leaving Alicia with little room to decline his invitation.

Blake continued, “During my last visit to the gallery, I noticed that you were in search of a restoration expert."

Alicia felt a surge of surprise at his words. “Mr. Langstaff, could you please clarify what you mean by that?"

Blake flashed her with a smile.

"I have some knowledge about it. If you haven't found a suitable candidate yet.."

Worried that he might not be convincing enough, he decided to showcase his credentials.

Alicia's astonishment was evident on her face.

He was being humble; in reality, he was a top-tier expert in his field.

"Mr. Langstaff, from the very first moment I met you, I sensed that you were an incredibly talented individual. My intuition has proven to be correct," she expressed with genuine admiration.

The Ward family truly possessed impressive genes.
