Chapter 156:

Caden was at home, absorbed in work when Jerald's call came.

Alicia was lying on the couch at his side, preparing his classes. When she heard Jerald's voice, she discreetly moved to the balcony to give Caden some privacy.

The balcony door was soundproof, ensuring that they wouldn't disturb each other.

Alicia settled back, hoping to concentrate on her preparations.

However, it wasn't long before her notes became disorganized and chaotic.

Her thoughts kept coming back again and again. to the room.

Unable to resist temptation, she peeked inside.

Although she couldn't hear the conversation, Alicia could see Caden's expression quite clearly.

His lips moved occasionally, indicating that he was responding with some words.

For the most part, his expression remained unchanged. However, after spending so much time with him, she could sense his displeasure.

It was clear that Jerald's words were especially harsh. Alicia was well familiar with Jerald's temperament. No matter how successful Caden became, he always remained the unappreciated son in Jerald's eyes. True to his custom, Jerald was not content with scolding Caden, but resorted to physical violence. She hit Caden so hard that it seemed like she didn't care if she caused him serious harm.

Alicia absentmindedly flipped through her book, but her attention returned to the room when she realized that Caden had hung up the phone. .

He seemed as calm as ever and quickly returned to his work.

Alicia touched her nose, opened the door and entered the room.

Uncertain about the mood of Caden refrained from asking him directly and instead occupied himself with various tasks.

He played with a vase for a moment.

Then he looked at the bookshelf and glanced at his desk. content.

Then he filled a glass of water.

Caden was still deeply concentrated on his work, without even looking up.

Alicia watched him in silence. He supposed it was nothing serious; If it was, he would have lost his temper by now.

Wait a minute.

Why he was worried about her mood

He shouldn't care.

Feeling like an intruder, she began to cut fruit.

After taking a bite, she walked out and leaned against the wall to peek at the desk, only to discover that Caden had disappeared.< /p>

Alicia felt disconcerted. Where would she have gone

Just then, she felt a presence behind her.

What are you looking for, Caden's deep voice echoed.

She turned around. , clearly upset. You can't make some noise when you walk.

I'm walking too quietly, or you're just too distracted to notice. Caden asked nonchalantly as he picked up a piece of fruit and popped it into his mouth. Why are you sneaking around?

I'm not sneaking around, Alicia replied.

Caden savored the sweet taste of mango as he picked Alicia up and placed her on his lap at his desk, inviting her to to feed him.

Alicia had gotten used to his ways, so she offered him piece after piece.

When Caden joined an audio conference, his mouth quickly filled with fruit.

Before Before he could chew, Alicia shoved another piece into his mouth, treating it as if it were a factory assembly line.

Maintaining a deadpan demeanor, Caden commented, Don't put the whole plate in my mouth. .

Alicia was left speechless.

When she realized that her chin was stained with mango juice from her hasty feeding, she realized that she was feeding him too quickly and decided to take a piece for her.

Caden had his hands full, so Alicia grabbed a tissue and wiped the juice from his chin.

Caden tilted his head.

Alicia blinked and reminded him: You have juice at the corner of your mouth.

Caden turned off the microphone and looked at her. You don't need a handkerchief. Just use your mouth.

Alicia felt a blush take over her cheeks.

Although she refused at first, Caden put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

Why not You're worried that your tongue might accidentally get into my mouth.

Of course not! "You think I lack self-control," Alicia replied immediately.

Not exactly, Caden replied.

That's a good thing you know, Alicia replied.

You really don't have self-control. Sometimes I don't even have to lift a finger. Just one look makes you nervous," Caden mocked.

Alicia felt her cheeks heat up.

She whispered: What are you talking about?

Caden gave him a smile.

Determined to prove that she wasn't that kind of person, Alicia acted quickly.

She leaned towards him and licked the juice from the corner of his mouth. the lips.

Caden stopped teasing and turned up the volume of the meeting.

Alicia was taken aback when she heard someone speak.

When the meeting started.

Caden looked at her and answered: It started when I brought you.

Alicia instinctively covered her mouth.

Have you heard everything we've said before, he asked staring at them eyes.

Caden giggled, hiding the fact that he had muted the microphone. Yes.

Feeling mortified, Alicia tried to escape.

However, Caden wouldn't let her go. He placed it between the desk and his chest.

He continues feeding me. There is still fruit on the plate.

Unable to resist, Alicia playfully punched him and whispered: Let go of me!

Caden replied: If you don't feed me, I'll have you right here.

Alicia was speechless.

She couldn't believe he would make such a bold statement in front of his employees.

Still, she knew that was capable of doing such things extravagant.

Reluctantly, she agreed.

While Caden ate, he turned the microphone back on in front of her.

Alicia was once again left speechless. .

With a determined expression, she shoved a large piece of fruit into his mouth.

Caden grunted, stopping momentarily to avoid choking.

At the sound of the noise , someone asked with concern: Mr. Ward, he is fine.
