Chapter 356:
Suddenly, she recalled that this very car had been appearing almost daily since Caden left for his business trip.
It had been everywhere—whether she was heading to work or returning home.
Her suspicions rose, and she decided to investigate.
As she suspected, the vehicle was registered in Caden’s name.
Hank was behind the wheel.
A bittersweet smile crossed her lips as a sharp ache settled in her heart.
Caden was constantly looking out for her, yet she remained unaware of his feelings for her.
Caden’s anger had ignited swiftly, only to cool down just as quickly.
Once he left the club, Caden set out to find Alicia again, but quickly realized he couldn’t even step foot past her front door.
He wasn’t the type to linger outside all night, hoping to win her back.
That approach wouldn’t sway someone like Alicia, and he simply couldn’t bring himself to do it.
There were countless other ways to bring joy to a woman’s heart.
Upon returning to the office, he tackled some pressing tasks before turning his attention to compiling a list of brands associated with women.
At first, he thought there were numerous possibilities to consider.
However, after spending a considerable amount of time researching, he came to the stark realization that Alicia already owned all the items he had in mind.
She had no desire for anything she didn’t already possess.
His apartment overflowed with extravagant possessions, yet she hadn’t taken a single one with her.
Caden rubbed his brow, sifting through the information about those brands, feeling frustrated.
Without warning, someone barged into the room, unannounced.
“Caden.”
He glanced up to find Gerry standing there.
Only Gerry would have the audacity to enter without knocking.
Caden subtly shifted the stack of documents.
Gerry remarked, almost reflexively, “What’s with the secrecy? I couldn’t care less about your robots.” He dropped an invitation onto the desk.
“Next month is my mom’s birthday.
The family specifically asked me to hand this over to you, the illustrious Mr.
Ward.”
Caden had little interest in such matters at the moment.
He nonchalantly set the invitation aside.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he inquired, “Is Alicia on the guest list?”
“I’ll invite her as a friend,” Gerry answered.
“But honestly, it doesn’t matter much.
You two are practically a couple, so one invite should suffice.”
Caden responded, “You need to invite her.
She’s a businesswoman now.
Her status has changed from before.”
Gerry assumed they were still an item and refrained from probing further.
He said, “I’ve heard you rave about Alicia’s cooking.
Why don’t I come over tonight to try it myself?”
Caden couldn’t help but think, I can’t even enjoy her cooking, and you want to sample it?
His gaze shifted slightly, and he replied, “Why not give her a call?”Belonging to .
