Chapter: 98

Caden noticed what she was doing and spoke slowly. "In a private theater."

Her hand trembled, nearly causing the contents to spill.

Gerry straightened up in surprise. “Wait, was that after you came back to the country?"

“Yes, on the day I returned," Caden answered.

“Wow, that's impressive! How many times did it happen?" Gerry asked with curiosity.

Caden paused before responding.

Alicia could sense Caden's gaze. It felt as if a snake was fixing its gaze on her, coiling around her and poising to strike, but wasn't attempting to attack.

"Five times?" Caden wondered aloud. "Or was it six?"

Sweat formed on Alicia's palms as she lifted a cup towards her Lips.

"Alicia!" Caden called out abruptly.

Alicia looked up sharply, her face turning from pale to flushed.

What was he planning now? Was he intending to reveal everything to Gerry?

Caden kept his eyes fixed on her and said casually, “That's wine you're about to drink."

She froze for a moment. Realizing his point, she quickly set the cup down.

Gerry noticed her reaction and asked, "What's wrong with wine? Can't you drink it?"

She wiped her sweaty hands on her knees and forced a smile. “I'm allergic to alcohol. I almost forgot."

"Seriously, how could you forget something like that?" Gerry remarked.

“Even Caden remembers."

A sudden thought occurred to him. "Wait a minute, Caden, how do you know that Alicia is allergic to alcohol?"

Caden wore a slight grin. "There was a time she drank too much and went wild around me."

Beads of sweat began to form again on her forehead. She had just wiped them away moments earlier.

She wished he would just stop talking.

Gerry zeroed in on his words. "Went wild around you? What exactly did she do?"

Caden prepared to answer, but she quickly cut him off.

“I really need some water. I'm feeling very thirsty," Alicia said urgently.

“I'll have someone bring you some," Gerry offered.

However, Alicia couldn't wait anymore.

She clutched her chest and stood up. "I'll go get some myself.”

Without waiting for a reply, she hurried out of the room.

Gerry looked confused. “Why is she in such a rush for water?"
