Chapter 173:

Caden said: Yes, I'm new here. I heard you're very skilled, so I wanted to check it out. The man immediately picked up on the hostile undertones in Caden's voice. He recognized that Caden was no ordinary contender, and if a confrontation occurred, it was unclear who would emerge unscathed.

Opting to calm the situation, the man quickly dressed. Right now I'm tied up, and today's session is over. Maybe another time.

Just as he was about to leave, Caden blocked his path. Her penetrating gaze fixed on him. Did Alicia do something that bothered you.

The man shuddered slightly. He responded defiantly: No, we're on good terms.

Caden's expression turned sly. So why such harsh treatment towards her?

The man hesitated. Despite her fear of Caden, she refused to back down. Why she has to get all the attention She's new here, and she's already outshining everyone. I didn't mean to hurt him today. I just wanted to teach him a little lesson to keep a lower profile.

Caden laughed. And who appointed you to teach him a lesson.

He began to roll up his sleeves, the tension in the room was palpable.

The man's eyes widened in fear. What do you plan to do?

Caden responded: I haven't had a good workout in a while. You seem like a perfect opponent to practice with. After washing his hands, Caden noticed that Alicia was outside, looking puzzled.

He frowned briefly, then dried his hands nonchalantly. I didn't ask you to wait in the car.

Alicia had heard the altercation. Realizing that Caden had defended her aroused mixed emotions in her, feelings that she had not yet fully processed.

After a moment of silence, she approached him. Well… okay.

Caden looked at his reddened knuckles, his expression distant. He bullied you, and you worry about him.

Alicia instinctively blurted out: I'm not worried about him. I'm worried it could have repercussions. And if there are consequences.

Caden's features softened slightly. No problem. His injuries are minor. I've already called an ambulance.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief.

Shortly later the medical staff arrived to take the man away.

Alicia took a look to the scene and was stunned.

Damn! “You call that minor,” he snapped, his voice rising in alarm before he controlled himself and lowered it, giving Caden a stern look. His face was covered in blood. You call that 'minor'

Caden put his arm around her as they got into the car. He's still breathing, isn't he, he said indifferently.

Alicia couldn't suppress a laugh. He realized that Caden had everything under control. Despite her rough treatment of the man, there was nothing she could change. Deep down, she felt satisfied.

As they settled into the car, Caden guided her gaze toward him. You just swore

Alicia blinked. So what if I have done it.

Impressive, he commented, with a slight smile of satisfaction. I rarely heard her use that language. Swear again.

Without hesitation, and in a playful tone, Alicia said: Caden, you stupid asshole.

Caden was momentarily speechless.

Alicia froze. He then sat on her lap, gently applying ointment to her knuckles. His punches had been powerful, and his skin had cracked, but he barely noticed the damage.

Caden felt no pain, but Alicia insisted on tending to his wounds. He allowed it.

When he finished applying the ointment, Alicia said: That's it. Now go drive.

When she tried to slide off his lap, Caden grabbed her hips and pulled her back. You feel sympathy for me You're not angry anymore

Alicia responded awkwardly: You defended me. It's natural for me to worry.

Caden smiled.

Quietly, he released her.

He walked to the driver's seat, while Alicia looked at him anxiously. . Are you sure you can drive with that hand, she asked.

Caden replied with a mocking smile: I could drive with one hand tied behind my back.

She was speechless.

After the disturbing event in the studio, Alicia could no longer stand staying there. Caden arranged private sessions with a trainer for her.

As she stepped out of the elevator, Alicia thought about what was left in her kitchen. We have run out of food. How about pasta with tomato for dinner.

Caden simply nodded his head.

Entering her apartment, Alicia was surprised to find the room filled with boxes of jewelry. Caden casually tossed him his jacket.

It's almost Christmas. They are gifts from clients. They would just gather dust in the warehouse, so I thought you might like to pick out something to wear, she said.

Alicia felt doubtful. He looked inside one of the boxes. Even the least expensive item was valued at more than $100,000.

During her two years of marriage to Joshua, she had lived frugally. The opulence before him seemed excessive. He sighed and said, This could be worth all my savings. Your clients are really extravagant.

Caden replied: I only work with those who are not ashamed to show their wealth.

Alicia laughed softly and then carefully put the jewelry away in the wardrobe. .

Later that night, Caden hugged her from behind, placing soft kisses along her neck.

Alicia's eyes shone with moisture and tenderness as she savored the moment, looking at him dreamily.

Caden's heart skipped a beat.

He really was fond of him.

It seemed like he couldn't hide anything from her, right

< p>His emotions surged, leaving soft marks on his skin. The phone next to Alicia vibrated.

She wanted to ignore the call, but she answered without realizing it.

Realizing that it was Hank, Caden quickly covered his mouth.

However, in his panic, he bit her hand.

Hank, oblivious to the shock, continued: Mr. Ward, Mrs. Ward has arrived in Warrington.
