Chapter 594:
Alicia raised an eyebrow.
“No, it was just a hobby I looked into.”
“You are better than Yolanda, at least.”
Alicia blinked, caught off guard.
“Sir, if you have something to say, just spit it out.
There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Benedict was momentarily speechless.
He wanted to apologize after recognizing her competence, but his pride held him back.
Instead, he fumbled for a more indirect approach.novelbin
Alicia wasn’t about to let him off the hook that easily.
She raised the tray and offered, “Do you want some?”
Benedict cleared his throat, reaching out tentatively.
“You’ve worked hard.
I’ll give you some face.”
But just as his fingers brushed the edge of the tray, Alicia pulled it back.
Benedict stared at her in confusion.
“There’s more in the kitchen.
Help yourself.
This is for Ciara,” Alicia explained, a sly smile playing on her lips as she turned away.
After Ciara had eaten two pieces, Aylin entered and announced, “Ms.
Bennett, Mr.
Caden Ward is back and wants to speak with you outside.”
Without asking why, Alicia let Ciara have more and take a rest before stepping out.
Ciara watched her leave, a smile spreading across her face.
The most beautiful feeling in the world is when love reaches its peak.
It was mutual and sincere.
Why fret about the future?
Meanwhile, after Caden stepped out of the car, he opened the trunk and untied Blake.
Finally free to move, Blake winced as stiffness and pain coursed through his joints from being bound for too long.
Caden unscrewed the water bottle again and asked, “Do you want some more, my dear nephew?”
Blake weakly shot back, “Get lost.”
“It’s already open,” Caden said with a sly grin, tilting the bottle and splashing water all over Blake’s pants.
“Oops.
My hand slipped.”
Blake was taken aback.
“What’s wrong with you?”
The damp stain on his gray pants was impossible to ignore.
He wanted to brush it off but lacked the strength to do so.
Alicia’s voice suddenly came from behind.
“What are you doing, Caden?”
