Chapter 60

Chapter 60:

Shelia shuddered, uneasiness flooding her instantly. She was worried that Caden might have heard her. But then, she reminded herself that Jerald was awake and would support her. What Caden Could Do She would have no choice but to go with the flow.

Putting on a smile, she said, Caden, it's pouring outside. Why don't you stay a while? Don't go to the office today and have dinner with Jerald.

She expected him to refuse, but to her surprise, he simply said: Okay.

She stared at him, momentarily surprised. Caden raised an eyebrow. Caden raised an eyebrow. You expected me to refuse

Shelia forced a smile. No no. It's just... I'm glad you're staying. It's so weird.

Caden looked stone-faced. He could see right through her, knowing that her kindness was nothing more than an act. But she had no patience and turned towards the guest room without saying another word.

Alicia limped back to her room, pulling up her dress to check her knee. She was not seriously injured, but a bruise had already begun to form. He let out a heavy sigh. It seemed like karma came fast for her.

But why Caden had never faced any consequences for his actions

She opened the closet and found some clothes that she had left behind. before the divorce, then headed to the bathroom. Upon entering, she was overwhelmed by the presence of Joshua's things everywhere. His stomach turned. He closed the door and went to look for another room.

The rooms upstairs were all private, so he chose one at random to clean up. Pushing open the door, he stopped short. Caden was standing by the bathroom door, in his underwear. He had his hands hooked on his waist, ready to pull them down when he noticed her.

He stood still, his sharp eyes locked on hers.

Alicia remained standing. , stunned, unable to look away from his almost perfect abs. She was left speechless.

Caden's physique was impeccable, from head to toe. It was a shame that his personality was as sharp as his tongue.

For a moment, she was completely mesmerized, lost in her daze, unable to speak or move.

Caden stood there. I stand still for a few moments, observing her. When it became clear that Alicia wasn't going to look away, she slowly pulled up her underwear. Enjoying the view, he joked.

Alicia blinked, startled, coming back to reality.

He smirked. Just looking, huh You know it's more fun if you play.

Her face flushed, and she quickly redirected her gaze to his face, avoiding the awkwardness. What are you doing here

He shrugged nonchalantly. Is this your room

She didn't respond. Of course, it wasn't. There were plenty of guest rooms, and she had just chosen the closest one without thinking. Running into him had been a pure coincidence.

Caden, ignoring the tension, opened the bathroom door with a gentle gesture. His voice, deep and suggestive, filled the room. Since you're here, would you like to take a shower together?

Her mind stirred, reliving memories of him. He had already gotten away with it twice. If she gave in again, there would be no turning back.

She couldn't resist.

No way.

Alicia shook her head. Forward. I don't feel comfortable with another person around.

She turned around and headed for the door. Just as he opened it, the sound of approaching footsteps reached his ears.

He hesitated. It had to be one of the maids. Her instincts took over and she immediately closed the door again. Being trapped in this situation, soaked and in the same room as Caden, would create all kinds of rumors.

This wasn't a hotel. It was the Yates Mansion.

The family fed on gossip, and if Joshua found out about this, it would be a disaster.

As if reading his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.< /p>

He followed the maid's voice.

Mr. Ward, the clothes you ordered have arrived.

Alicia moved away in surprise, leaving room for Caden. Without saying a word, he grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his waist and shouted: Leave them at the door. The maid replied: Okay, and soon the hallway was silent.

Only then did Caden open the door to get the clothes.

Alicia, leaning nonchalantly against the wall, asked with concern. curiosity: Why bother with the towel if you weren't going to let her in.

Caden looked at her. To protect me from you.

Alicia blinked, momentarily speechless.

Without hesitation, Caden tossed the clothes onto a nearby surface and removed the towel. His toned chest, chiseled abs, and slender figure immediately caught her attention again.

He cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. And now you're not protecting yourself from me.

Caden scoffed. Think before you speak, okay. You expect me to shower with a towel on.

Once again, Alicia was speechless.

Caden walked towards the bathroom, his voice indifferent. I'll shower first, then it's your turn.

Alicia hesitated before saying, I think I'll go back to my room.

Caden raised an eyebrow. Oh In that case, you're fine with everyone assuming we're involved.

Her face flushed, caught off guard.

I'll be careful, she murmured, touching her nose. .

Caden's lips curved into a smile. If you're really worried, jumping out the window might be your safest bet. Then he asked: Why are you so nervous around me? You're too trusting

His irritation increased. Instead of leaving, he sat stubbornly. She wanted to see who would fall into temptation first.

As she sat there, fatigue began to weigh on her. From the moment she had arrived at the Yates mansion, she had been nervous. Now, listening to the rhythmic sound of the shower and the silence of the room, his body gave way. A yawn escaped her.

The wet clothes stuck to her skin, making her feel hot and sleepy. Her eyes became heavy and soon she couldn't keep them open.

Just as she was beginning to fall asleep, a sharp pain woke her up.

She gasped and opened her eyes to find herself lying on the floor. bathtub. Caden knelt by her side and healed her injured knee.
