Chapter 107:

Later, Rachel put on makeup and went to get some finer wine to make peace with Caden. His eyes were swollen and red. Mr. Ward, I would like to propose a toast in your honor. Otherwise Randolph will have my head.

Caden kept a stoic attitude and took a sip of wine. This one was considerably stronger than the previous one. As it went down her throat, she winced slightly.

Rachel filled a glass for Alicia. Miss Bennett…

Rachel's voice was as weak and plaintive as before. Fighting back tears, she said: I am most to blame for today. I'm really sorry; please forgive me. To Alicia, such a plea seemed like moral blackmail.

After having been slapped, Raquel now approached her with humility. If Alice chose to remain resentful, it would only paint her as unreasonable.

After a few seconds of silence, Alice finally raised her glass. Caden looked in her direction and subtly pushed her under the table.

Alicia recognized the warning. I was silently warning him not to drink. But she answered bluntly: Why did you kick me?

Caden was momentarily speechless. Alicia raised her glass and turned to Rachel. I can't drink wine, so I'll drink water instead. Then he swapped the wine for water.

Rachel's expression tightened momentarily, though it was hard to tell due to her swollen cheek. I appreciate it very much, Mrs. Bennett.

Rachel closed her eyes and drank the wine. Her face turned red immediately.

Alicia responded with a small sip of water, feeling a little uncomfortable under the gaze of the room. Rachel turned around quickly, embarrassed to be the center of attention. She walked over to Randolph, who was a short distance away, and leaned gently against him.

She patted him on the back to offer him some comfort.

Alicia sat down. It seems Randolph managed to calm her down. She decided to ignore the slap so easily.

Caden replied nonchalantly: Neither of them is forced to do anything against their will. It's your business. Don't make it yours.

Alicia rested her chin in her hand, suddenly intrigued. Caden, given your unique temperament, if you got married, you would end up hitting your wife when you felt stressed.

Caden kept a straight face. I would hit him even when I didn't feel stressed.

Alicia was surprised. You're an idiot.

I never specified where I would hit, Caden replied, giving him a meaningful look.

Alicia instinctively replied: What kind of twisted reasoning is that Domestic violence is illegal, it happens wherever it occurs.

Caden commented: You might want to check with the police if playful spanking in bed is illegal.

Alicia was speechless. Noticing her shocked expression, Caden smiled and began: And also….

Before he could continue, Alicia covered his mouth and said seriously: That's enough.

Caden He brushed her hand away playfully, jokingly: You have any idea what I was about to say.

Alicia's expression was blank, but her ears reddened. He struggled to maintain his composure. I know it wasn't going to be appropriate at all.

Just standard sex education, Caden replied, keeping his tone serious.

Alicia wasn't convinced. He lowered his voice and said, My biology teacher never mentioned anything about spanking in the context of sex.

Caden let out a soft laugh. I teach advanced classes, he commented.

Alicia looked at his hand. She could easily imagine how he used to playfully spank the women.

No, thank you, she replied, clearly annoyed.

While everyone was finishing eating, Alicia lost her appetite and headed to the bathroom. Caden turned in another direction to rinse his mouth and wash his hands.

A feeling of being watched bothered him from behind. He decided not to look back immediately. Once he dried his fingers, he turned around. A crowd had gathered outside.

However, their target quickly caught their attention.

It was a servant of the Gray household.

The servant hesitated momentarily. under his scrutiny before stepping forward. Mr. Ward, would you like to get some rest

Caden barely acknowledged your presence.

In a carefree tone, he asked: Where could I go?

The maid replied: Mr. Gray mentioned that he had been drinking, so he thought he could use some rest. He prepared a room for him.

Wary of possible deception, Caden replied: That won't be necessary. Have Randolph join me in the living room. I need to talk to him.

The maid hesitated, biting her lip for a few moments.

It was clear that she was trying hard to complete her task due to Caden's response, but her timid nature prevented him from continuing to press. He hurried to find Randolph.

Randolph's expression darkened when he learned that Caden had not gone to rest in the designated room. However, he showed no signs of anger. He simply dismissed the maid with a wave of his hand. Soon, Caden headed to the living room. Randolph motioned for someone to bring a bowl of soup to help Caden sober up.

Caden declined the offer. Mr. Gray, if you are concerned about my drunken state, why did you have Mrs. Gray serve such potent wine?

Noticing Caden's cold attitude, Randolph pressed further. Mr. Ward, you are still bothered by Rachel's treatment of Miss Bennett.

He had previously asked Rachel about the previous incident.

Although it was only a few women , Caden had intervened.

He had defended Alicia so transparently.

Concerned that Caden had some interest in Alicia, Randolph felt compelled to address it.

Caden, understanding the reasons for Randolph responded enigmatically: She was my brother's ex-wife. Now that she is facing difficulties, what reason would I have not to help her.
