Chapter: 781

"It's late. How about a shower and then some sleep?"

Alicia's cheeks turned pink, but she remained silent.

She had just looked at the clock; it wasn't even past eight.

How could it be considered late?

Clearly, he was in a hurry to advance things.

However, after being kissed and caressed for so long, she had to admit that her resistance had melted away.

A rumble of thunder resounded outside.

Despite the storm, the heated atmosphere Lingered. Alicia gazed into Caden's deep eyes and asked, “Don't thunderstorms scare you? Can you handle them?"

She regretted mentioning it.

Caden grasped Alicia's subtle hint. "I used to be bothered by them, but last time, someone wore a charming dress to comfort me."

Remembering that moment, Alicia felt her cheeks heat up.

She attempted to escape, but Caden held her tight, carrying her off to the bathroom.

Alicia resisted, saying, “Caden, I haven't said yes yet."

The bathroom door shut behind them, muffling any compromising noises.

Deprived for some time, Caden exhausted Alicia repeatedly.

However, he was noticeably gentler than before.

He made sure Alicia was not harmed.

After it was all over, Caden showed no signs of fatigue, even taking the time to deal with some urgent work calls.

Alicia rested weakly on the bed, observing the man who glowed with the remnants of passion, his every action emitting a deadly charm.

Her body was limp, her thoughts slightly jumbled.

She struggled to understand this indulgence.

After finishing his calls, Caden looked over at her.

He instantly understood what was on her mind.

Unable to meet his gaze, Alicia hid under the covers.

Caden instructed, "Open the drawer and hand me a document."

Alicia felt too drained to move.

Her limbs were weak, and she barely mustered the strength to reply, “Get it yourself."

“It's in the nightstand to your right. It's not hard."

With that, Alicia complied.

But what she found wasn't a project contract; it was a medical report.
