Chapter 941:
Soon, they became distracted by the moment.
As the office was enveloped in the warm, golden glow of dusk, Alicia admired the floor-to-ceiling windows and couldn’t help but smile. “It’s beautiful.”
Caden glanced sideways, his thoughts drifting to an even more beautiful image. Alicia’s delicate skin, particularly radiant in the summer with its tanned hue and smooth texture, was something he found irresistible.
They had shared intimate moments in the office before, but always under the cover of darkness. She was shy, always insisting on dimming the lights when pressed against the glass, leaving Caden to rely on the ambient city lights to barely make out her silhouette.
He secretly enjoyed seeing her in the full light of day, where her shyness had nowhere to hide, entirely visible to him. Her waist was so slender that he could encircle it with one hand. Her legs were long and lithe, coiling around him effortlessly.
The more Caden dwelled on these thoughts, the more his desire grew. His Adam’s apple bobbed several times as he struggled to suppress the rising desire. “Are you hungry?” he asked, hoping to distract himself. “What do you feel like eating? I can book a restaurant.”
Alicia wasn’t picky. They eventually settled on a place that accommodated Caden’s dietary needs.

Caden said, “I need another surgery. I don’t have much faith in Warrington’s hospital, so I might go to Sowell.” Alicia remembered the renowned orthopedic specialist from Sowell. “She’s skilled with orthopedics. Does she handle surgeries on the stomach too?”
“It’s a different doctor with the last name Ramos.” Curious, Alicia looked up Sowell on her phone. Dr. Ramos, a distinguished visitor, wasn’t a local but would be visiting Sowell next month.
“How do you know her schedule?” she asked, surprised that he had such private information.
Caden embraced her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I’ve had dealings with Dr. Ramos’ husband twice. I asked if she could take on my case, and her assistant shared her schedule to coordinate a time.”
“Oh.” After getting the details she needed, Alicia began searching for hotels and restaurants in Sowell. Caden peeked over her shoulder. “Why are you looking at that?”
Without thinking, Alicia responded, “You’re going for surgery. I can’t stay with you in the hospital, can I?”
Caden raised an eyebrow playfully. “Hmm?”
Realizing her slip, Alicia hastily locked her phone. “I think I have a business trip to Sowell next month.”noveldrama
Caden chuckled knowingly at her transparent excuse. “What business do you have in Sowell? You just got back, and you’re already expanding your work there? Impressive, Ms. Bennett.”
