Chapter: 785

With the area empty, Caden said softly, “It's like waiting till the Last moment of our intimacy. You're warm, but you extinguish my fire."

Alicia felt a mix of annoyance and embarrassment upon hearing his provocative words. "Is it necessary to speak like this in the middle of the day?"

Caden grinned and said, “Desire is natural. If we all held back, how would we reproduce?"

"But there's no need to keep mentioning it."

“If I kept quiet, I'd have to show you, and that might be too much for you," Caden responded.

Alicia was at a loss for words.

He always seemed to have a justification.

Alicia put a pet band-aid on his wounds.

The small floral pattern fit perfectly on his long, clean fingers.

Caden typically disliked anything that was too flashy, but at that moment, he found himself liking it. "How did you know I was hurt?"

Alicia answered, "I used to get hurt all the time when I first learned to cook. Since you never cook, I assumed it didn't go smoothly for you.”

She smiled, then asked, “What made you decide to try cooking?"

Back when Caden was overseas, he mostly prepared sandwiches.

Gerry had said that cooking steak was challenging.

Caden was curious to find out just how challenging it was.

Indeed, it turned out to be tough and demanded skill as well.

Caden gazed into her dark eyes. "I wanted to impress you with my cooking, make you fall in love with it, so you wouldn't leave me."

Alicia found this amusing.

"I always have nightmares when I'm around you. It seems you've been plotting to kill me all this time by your food." Alicia pretended to be serious. "Poor Cade, suffering because of me.

Caden grinned. "Is it really that terrible?"

Alicia responded, "Shouldn't you go check on Cade? That situation was rougher than getting neutered.”

Caden continued, “Since we're at the vet, why not handle the neutering as well?"

Otherwise, during the breeding season, it would be uncontrollable, creating chaos everywhere.

Alicia's face took on a strange expression. "Isn't that a bit harsh?"

A few moments later, she thoughtfully stroked her chin. “But it might be feasible..."

Caden held back a smile. "It seems that sharing a bed with you makes us think alike."

After the neutering surgery, the veterinarian asked, "Would you Like to keep its balls?"

Alicia looked over and passed the decision to Caden.

Caden examined the two small balls, feeling a sudden coldness in a certain part of his body.

Alicia went to check on the dog. It was still on an IV, under anesthesia, and only semi-conscious.
