Chapter 275:

“Yes.

What’s wrong?” she replied.

It seemed like he had completely forgotten their previous conversation.

Caden struggled to keep his temper under control.

"Are you really not going to cook tonight?" she asked.

Alice replied as if the thought had just crossed her mind,

"I'm up to my neck in work.

Don't wait up for me."

Caden could tell from her tone that something was wrong.

“You don’t want me to wait up for you? Does that mean you won’t be home for dinner?” he asked.

“What do you think?” Alice chuckled.

“What part didn’t you understand?”

Caden suddenly realized something.

With a forced smile, he replied: "Alice, this time you really got me."

Alice replied: 'What's that about, Mr Ward? Did I ever promise to dine with you to-night?'

Caden replied, “Then why did you ask me what I wanted?”

"I was just curious.

I never said I would cook," she clarified.

Caden was speechless.

"Well played, Alice," she thought to herself.

Alice continued politely: “I know that someone as refined as you would prefer a home-cooked meal.

Would you like me to recommend a trustworthy maid? She is from here, in Warrington, and I am sure her cooking will satisfy your requirements.”

Caden hung up the phone without saying another word.

Caden was so furious his stomach hurt.

He turned around, about to leave the apartment.

When he closed the door, Cade followed, reluctant to be left alone.

Caden paused, finding Cade's persistence irritating.

“Go find your mother!” Caden snapped.

Cade, looking sad, raised his paw and pointed to his empty bowl.

Cade was hungry.

With a stern expression, Caden opened the bag of dog food, letting Cade eat his fill.

After leaving the apartment, Caden randomly chose a nearby restaurant for dinner.

To her surprise, as soon as she walked in, she saw Gerry, that annoying guy, having dinner with his friends.

Gerry's seat faced the entrance, so he immediately spotted Caden.

“Well, well, look who it is: Mr.

Ward?” Gerry smiled mischievously.

“What brings you here to dinner?”

Caden remained silent.

Hearing Gerry's greeting, his friends joined in, respectfully acknowledging Caden.

Caden approached with a calm demeanor.
