Chapter 877:
Looking up at him, her eyes misty and confused, Alicia remained silent.
Holding her close, he asked again, “I always use fireworks to cheer you up. Are you tired of them?”
Alicia pressed her lips together, offering no reply.
Caden’s voice softened as he continued, “If our baby were still here, they’d be taking their first steps by now. It’s all my fault.”
Her eyes welled up once more.
“I’m sorry, Lucky.” Caden had apologized many times, yet it never seemed enough. “I love you.”
He had not confessed his feelings during his proposal; now he made sure to express them.
“You don’t have to forgive me. I just want you to be happy right now.”
Not wanting him to see her cry, Alicia turned away, only to see Ray frozen, watching them.
Caught off guard, Alicia quickly stepped back from Caden. Ray, realizing he had been staring, blushed and hurried away.

Alicia’s gaze then caught Yvonne sneaking out of the master bedroom on the second floor. She swallowed her sorrow and steeled herself.noveldrama
“Caden,” Alicia nudged him. “Yvonne was in your room.”
Caden’s brow furrowed.
“What would she be doing in my room?”
Curiosity piqued, Alicia studied Caden’s strikingly handsome face, a ridiculous thought crossing her mind. “Do you think Yvonne might be interested in you?”
At her words, Caden was left speechless, a mix of emotions threatening to overwhelm him.
Alicia knew that it was inappropriate at the moment, yet memories of a film she had once watched with Caden surfaced in her mind.
It wasn’t the most respectable movie.
Back then, Caden, often impatient when alone at home, chose films that he preferred.
After they watched that movie, they had spent a long time together, exhausted yet cuddling affectionately.
When the next film started automatically, they found that it was an adult drama by Jonio, featuring a female lead in roles like a sister-in-law or stepmother, the kind that usually appealed to men.
Caden had playfully teased her then, coaxing her to act as his sister-in-law.
“Do I satisfy you better than my brother?” he had joked.
Alicia had reprimanded him for his vulgarity, but he had merely laughed and playfully wrestled with her.
