Chapter: 786

She caressed it gently. “We're doing this for your well-being."

As if it could understand what Alicia was saying, the dog's eyes rolled back, and it lost consciousness entirely.

Alicia stayed beside it for some time, then went outside and found Caden taking photos of the dog's testicles.

Alicia was confused. "Since when have you been so interested?"

He had never even taken pictures of the dog before, but now he was capturing images of those moments.

Caden responded casually, “I'm sending the photos to a craftsman to get something custom-made."

Alicia leaned in curiously and asked, "Custom-made what?"

Caden angled the phone screen toward her. "A bell for Lucky."

Alicia felt uneasy.

"You're not planning to use those, are you?"

Caden looked at her. "I hadn't noticed, Ms. Bennett, that you had such a naughty side."

Alicia's cheeks turned pink. "Your actions are the ones that are inappropriate."

Caden explained, “I'm asking the craftsman to create a bell that resembles them, as a souvenir for it.”

Alicia couldn't resist responding, "Who is the real naughty between us? And didn't the craftsman reprimand you?"

Alicia frowned and continued, "If I received such an odd request, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself."

At that moment, Caden's phone rang.

They both glanced at it.

It was a message from the craftsman. "Did the dog steal the owner's phone to text me? Please give the phone back to your owner and stop causing trouble."

Caden was taken aback.

Alicia, trying to preserve his pride, held back her laughter.

After Alicia returned to her apartment, she started seeing Caden more often.

Caden, knowing her fascination with technology, frequently brought her along to tech events.

Previously, he hadn't taken a female companion to these events. So, when he began bringing her, attendees humorously inquired if she was his girlfriend.

Caden confirmed it with no hesitation.

Even though she was prepared, Alicia still felt uncomfortable with all the attentive looks and flashes from cameras.

There was a time when she longed for a formal recognition of their relationship, which Caden had denied.

Now, with the title, she became aware of the significant disparity a status could bring.

Though she managed a gallery in Warrington and her financial status had improved, she was still nowhere near the league of an international entrepreneur.

Additionally, Alicia was strikingly beautiful.

In those circles, beauty often overshadowed talent, which made her a target for ridicule.
