Chapter 248:

Katrina cast a sidelong glance at Caiden’s detached expression, her eyes drifting to his phone screen, where a photo of Daniela was prominently displayed. She stayed quiet for a moment, the faintest flicker of calculation flashing in her gaze.

Since their last heated exchange, Caiden had become a different man—aloof and disengaged, barely sparing a word for her or Joyce. Even their moments of intimacy had lost their warmth; he would pull away almost immediately. It was obvious that he had some hidden agenda.

His once palpable excitement for Joyce’s pregnancy had faded, replaced with a cold indifference. Could he be shifting his reliance to Daniela instead? That simply wouldn’t do.
