Chapter 36:

Alicia was surprised to see him.

She had only intended to take some topical medication and, somehow, she ran into They fall so soon. How unlucky she had been!

After everything that had happened the night before, guilt washed over her every time Caden showed up. He instinctively took a step back.

Then, he stopped and questioned her reaction. It was ridiculous to feel this way after sleeping with him. Why should I be afraid

Alicia lowered her gaze and returned to her original position.

Shortly after, Caden entered silently.

Hank, who did not want to intruding on his moment, he made up an excuse to leave. Mr. Ward, I need to go to the bathroom. You two can go ahead, he said.

When Hank left, Caden pressed the elevator button. When the doors closed, Alicia felt the air grow thin around her.

It was then that Caden noticed the paper in her hand. Alicia hurried to put it behind her back, but he had already caught a glimpse of what it was.

In a calm tone, Caden commented: You don't need to take birth control pills.

Alicia paused for a moment. moment, surprised by his response. Why do you say that? You have azoospermia.

Caden acknowledged her lack of understanding, but preferred not to reprimand her. I didn't finish last night.

Alicia's eyes widened at the abruptness of his response. He replied doubtfully: But it seemed pretty intense to me.

Caden gave him a sideways glance.

I relied on different methods.

Alicia felt a little perplexed by his response.

Caden was the only man she had shared intimate moments with, and those experiences had occurred twice, both times shrouded in uncertainty. His understanding of such topics was limited.

I…what methods did you use, he asked hesitantly.

The moment she spoke, Caden found himself reliving the vivid moments of the previous night. .

His expression darkened slightly. You really don't understand.

Alicia's ears turned red with embarrassment. At first, she hadn't understood the situation, but his penetrating gaze filled her with concern.

Eh, I don't understand. I was just teasing you, she replied, trying to appear nonchalant as she ruffled her hair and he cleared his throat. I get it now. Thanks for trying.

Caden preferred not to call her out for his deception. Although Alicia's words came out with conviction, her face betrayed her confusion. It was clear she wasn't being sincere.

Yet, strangely enough, her occasional silliness made Caden smile. It was enough to lighten her bad mood.

Caden had a serious expression as he joked: Oh, yes. Then tell me, where have I used it?

Alicia's bearing faltered. It's really appropriate that we discuss this.

Caden chuckled.

We've already slept together twice. What's inappropriate about that?

What the hell...

Alicia looked at the numbers of the elevator floors, feeling as if each second that passed was lengthening into an eternity. Damn! Now he wished he had joined Hank during his sudden bathroom break.

The elevator fell silent again.

Caden added, If you're really curious, just check the security images at home.

Alicia was surprised once again.

How do you know I have surveillance at home.

Caden's face remained impassive. Not only am I aware of the cameras, but I also enjoyed watching your enthusiastic efforts last night, Miss Bennett.

The warmth that had just faded from Alicia's cheeks returned.

He fixed his gaze on the crack in the wall, wishing he could transform into a cockroach and slide into it.

However, reality was not so easy. She couldn't turn into a cockroach and had to explain with a calm expression: She was drunk. It was unintentional.

A slight smile appeared on Caden's lips, hinting at a memory. He really caught me off guard.

Oh, God!

His ambiguous words made Alicia flush with embarrassment.

With a soft ding, the elevator doors opened. .

Caden left, ending the useless conversation.

Alicia followed him.

Caden, we are both adults. It's normal for things to get a little out of control. Let's pretend last night didn't happen, he suggested.

Caden remained indifferent. What else is there.

Alicia let out a sigh of relief.

But before she could finish sighing, Caden added: However, three times is the limit. If it happens again, I won't be so complacent.

Alicia looked up.

The sunlight softened Caden's eyes, but it couldn't hide the intensity of his aggression.< /p>

What do you mean, he asked.

If there was a third time, what would happen Given their identities and their relationship, what could happen

Caden responded cryptically: It seems that you are already anticipating our third once.

Alicia felt a flicker of surprise.

Why her initial reaction involved thinking about what might happen after a third encounter

How could there be a third time

Alicia looked away. Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm leaving.

After saying what he needed to, he gradually walked away from Caden, and they separated.

Later, Caden returned to the car, where Hank wore a somewhat regretful expression.

Mr. Ward thought he was going to take Ms. Bennett home.

And then he was able to take things further.

Caden grabbed his work laptop. If you like taking people home so much, I'll get you a job as a driver.

Therefore, Hank decided to drop the subject and asked: But what about your illness. Are you going to continue taking the medication.< /p>

Caden frowned at that.

He didn't care much about the illness. He was willing to take the medication just so as not to worry Ciara at home.

He spoke in a deep voice: I will continue taking the pills.

Hank advised him: The medication can be harmful to your body and has not been effective. You've been single all these years. Why don't you explore other options.

Caden responded nonchalantly: Romantic relationships don't mean much to me.

Whether I had one or not didn't make any difference to him.

< p>He was happy as long as Alicia stayed out of his life.

Hank felt a surge of emotion. You can't stay single forever.

Caden's expression hardened.

He remembered what he had just said to Alicia. It wasn't something he said jokingly.

Three times was the limit. If Alice crossed that line, he wouldn't be able to contain himself.
