Chapter 95:

Caden questioned her: You are afraid of him.

Alicia did not deny her fear. Randolph is not a good man. Many people fear her.

In her vulnerable state, it seemed that anyone could take advantage of her.

Her resistance capacity was not yet strong.

Caden, Speaking calmly, he noted: You're terrified just thinking about meeting them. You really think you can help Joshua with his problems.

Alicia was surprised, having momentarily forgotten her made-up story.

She hesitated. Courage is not constant, it varies depending on the circumstances.

Caden laughed knowingly. So fear has taken over you now.

Yes, Alicia admitted, trying to maintain her composure. Fear is not permanent. You might get over it soon, Caden assured him. Don't worry, Randolph is not going to devour you.

Alicia remained silent.

They both remained silent, but the call continued.

Alicia sensed that an issue persisted without resolve, but it was difficult for him to articulate it.

Caden also remained silent.

Finally, Alicia broke the silence. Why is there so much silence?

Caden, losing his patience, stated bluntly: I'm waiting for you to beg me.

She paused, surprised. Who said I was going to beg?

You are undecided because you need my support at the Gray house, correct. Caden pointed out sharply. Randolph might be aware of something, so he poses a threat. You're looking for protection, right.

Alicia responded defiantly: You were the one who informed me about him. If he's looking for revenge, you can't just walk away.

Caden laughed at the seriousness. To him, Randolph was irrelevant. Yes, he is a dangerous man. "I'm completely petrified," he said sarcastically.

Alicia was speechless, her anxiety palpable as she fidgeted with the sheet. Caden had hit the target accurately.

Alicia was speechless.

Caden kindly offered: I ask Joshua to accompany you.

Alicia He quickly intervened: No!

Why not. What's wrong with me seeing your efforts

I want it to be a surprise. He must not know yet.

Caden scoffed softly: How touching.

Embarrassed, Alicia felt the conversation had to end. Why had she called him? She knew he wouldn't just offer help.

I'm going to hang up, she murmured.

Unknowingly, her tone sounded charming to Caden.

Caden's hearing seemed momentarily dull.

He grabbed a bottle of strong wine from the bar counter and drank it quickly.

The alcohol burned his throat and ignited a heat in your heart.

He was unable to quell the inner turmoil.

Meanwhile, Joshua was coming out of the shower in another house.

Lilliana put her arms around him.

Why do you come home so late these days, he asked. You're always at work and you come home too late. We barely spent any time together, she lamented.

Joshua pinched her playfully.

You're pregnant, try not to get too upset.

Lilliana lightly hit his chest. I'm not nervous. I just miss you, he said.

Josué felt the absence of intimacy.

He couldn't seek comfort with Alicia, and Lilliana's pregnancy complicated things. His spirits were visibly low.

Lilliana noticed his distraction. What are you thinking about? You think about someone else, he joked.

Josué hesitated, but then discarded the idea.

Another person Hardly. He quickly changed the subject.

We are running out of my father's medicine. It is rare, and only certain individuals, like Caden, can obtain it.

Lilliana sensed an underlying issue. Is Caden causing trouble again

He's always a potential problem as long as he's around, Joshua confessed.

Lilliana calmed him down by tracing patterns on his chest. Don't worry about the medicine. My dad can fix something if Caden gets difficult. It's manageable.

Joshua relaxed, reassured by her support.

Lilliana, you always know what to say.

Lilliana's eyes were sensual.

A few months into her pregnancy, Lilliana and Joshua had kept their physical intimacy at bay after some friction that nearly endangered the baby's safety. As a result, they had taken a more cautious approach lately.

Joshua, I've taken care of you many times before. "It's not your turn," she murmured, snuggling closer to him. Normally, Joshua would not hesitate under such circumstances.

However, today, as he reached under Lilliana's clothes, he suddenly stepped back.

This unexpected reaction caught him by surprise and It made him gasp.

Lilliana was surprised.

She knew her attractiveness and she knew that Joshua was in love with her physique, so her reaction was even more disconcerting.

p>

Does it disgust you, he asked, with his voice tinged with disbelief. Joshua, are you repulsed by my pregnancy, she asked, her anger increasing.

Joshua was equally perplexed by his own reaction. He didn't understand why he felt such a sudden change. Lilliana became enraged and made to leave the bed.

Josué, concerned about her well-being and that of her unborn child, was quick to assure her: Today I'm just tired and I don't feel well. It has nothing to do with disgust.

In her frustration, Lilliana slapped him hard.
