Chapter 116

Chapter 116:

Caden hesitated for a beat before yanking open the door and slipping away.

Alicia waited for the steps of Caden trailed off before speaking, staring at the closed door. You're staying tonight

Joshua's easy smile faltered. That was for Caden's ears only. He wants everything that is mine. I had to remind her that you are mine and mine alone.

Alicia frowned, but remained silent, her emotions twisting into knots.

Her feelings were a tangle, neither clear nor clear. easy to decipher.

She hadn't agreed to Caden's request, but…

Why did the thought of being alone with Joshua make her feel so guilty

Meanwhile, Caden had just gotten out of the hospital and he had gotten into Hank's car.

Hank, who had been waiting for a while, had earlier seen Joshua going up the stairs.

Noticing the dark cloud hanging overhead From Caden, Hank broke the silence.

Mr. Ward, you met Mr. Yates.

Caden's jaw tightened. Instead of answering, he simply ordered: Take me to the apartment. I need a shower.

His voice was high-pitched and cold as ice.

Hank started the engine, looking at Caden in the rearview mirror. In an attempt to console his boss, he said softly: You know, Mrs. Bennett is just acting with him; It's just a show. There's no reason to be jealous.

Caden frowned and narrowed his eyes. Who said he was jealous

Hank swallowed hard, quickly shifting his gaze back to the road. I expressed myself poorly. I made a mistake. You're not jealous.

As Caden's car slipped away into the night, Joshua emerged from the hospital, his expression unreadable.

Moments after his car disappeared from sight, a hidden camera quietly retreated behind a tree.

The man behind the camera wasted no time and sent the newly taken photos to Lilliana.

Sitting in her room, Lilliana She flipped through the images with her eyes half closed.

Although the man had not clearly captured the driver's face, and although the car was not one of her usual vehicles, Lilliana immediately recognized Joshua.

< p>He tightened his fingers around the phone and typed a question: What were you doing at the hospital. Joshua, using a different car and moving so stealthily… It was clear he wasn't there for a simple routine check.

Moments later, a message buzzed back. The only person related to Joshua in that hospital is Alicia.

Lilliana's heart skipped a beat.

Alicia

She had already dismissed the idea, believing it. too ridiculous.

If Joshua still had feelings for Alicia, why would he go to the trouble of divorcing and getting involved with her

But now, the evidence was before his eyes, revealing everything he had believed.

There was She spent days searching for any sign of another woman in Joshua's life, but all leads were empty.

She clenched her fists in realization. Where were they sneaking off to? And worse, where were they sleeping?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

Anxious thoughts tormented her, until finally, in a rush, out of anger, he couldn't take it anymore. She broke everything she could: ornaments, vases, even the framed photo of her and Joshua.

The glass shattered on the floor. As he looked at the shattered memory, his fury turned to sadness. She fell to her knees and tears spilled down her cheeks, sobbing until she was emotionless.

When Joshua returned, Lilliana had fallen into a restless sleep, breathing heavily as the maid swept up the rubble.< /p>

His expression darkened as he contemplated the scene.

Without saying a word, he entered the room.

Lilliana stirred when she heard his voice, her body tensed. and his eyes opened. Nausea and pain churned in her stomach.

Don't touch me, she whispered hoarsely, turning her face away from him.

But Joshua ignored her. Firmly, he pulled her against his chest, holding her tightly as she tried to resist. After such an emotional crisis, he was too weak to fight him. His embrace was unbreakable, and his lips pressed against her skin as his resolve broke once again. He began to cry and his tears soaked his shirt.

Joshua's tone softened, although with an undertone of concern. What happened, he asked sweetly. Why are you crying

Lilliana looked at him, her eyes red and full of pain. Joshua…of all people, why Alicia His voice shook with the weight of his pain.

He had left Alicia behind, he had left her aside. Why he was still a shadow in their relationship

How Lilliana could accept it

At the sound of Alicia's name, Joshua clenched his jaw and remembered his previous visit to the hospital. Lilliana knew it

She quickly looked for an excuse. Alicia What's wrong with her? She didn't have some kind of incident at the Gray family home and ended up in the hospital.

Lilliana's hand lashed out at him, hitting him with surprising force. Stop pretending! How long are you going to keep lying to my face? I have to catch you in bed with her for you to admit it.

Joshua's expression was still calm, unhurried, as if his outburst was nothing more than an inconvenience. . Someone told you something

Lilliana's voice broke. They have to do it. I hired a private detective to follow you. He saw you visiting Alicia in the hospital. If there's nothing between you two, why would you meet her behind my back.

A humorless chuckle escaped Joshua's lips.

I was there for a check-up, he said. tired, with his voice tinged with fatigue. I have been exhausted lately and needed to see a specialist. While I was there, I heard that Alicia had been admitted, but I didn't see her.

Lilliana blinked in surprise at his response. She wanted to believe him, but the doubt continued to eat away at her.

You're still lying to me, aren't you, she murmured, her voice breaking with disbelief.

Joshua hugged her tighter. I swear, I'm telling the truth. I haven't slept well and that affects everything, including my sexual desire. That's why I haven't told you. When I feel better, your pregnancy will have progressed and I promise I will make it up to you. Okay
