Chapter 474 Waking Up to Lose Everything

Caden had no idea how he returned home. His mind was completely blank.

+ Pearls

Paulin trailed behind him the entire way, speaking to him, but Caden didn't seem to register a single word.

Everything had changed too quickly and unbearably for him to process. He felt lost, uncertain about what to do, and completely numb.

"Caden..." Paulin called his name, hoping to offer comfort, but at this moment, words meant nothing

Perhaps it was better to give him some space and let him be alone for a while.

"Sorry... I'm exhausted, I just need some rest," Caden muttered as he stepped inside and shut the door on Paulin.

He moved numbly into his room, locked the door, and collapsed onto the bed.

He wanted to escape, to shut everything out. Maybe... when he woke up, things would be normal again.

Sidney would walk in, berating him for lazing around all day instead of working.

Charles... he will return too.

He'd reveal that his real name was Herman Benson, and that he had been working undercover, but the mission was over now. He wouldn't be going home or getting married. He just wanted to stay by Caden's side.

Caden had never wanted much. He never cared for how much of Sidney's inheritance he could get. He just wanted enough money to spend. He wanted Sidney to always be there, looking after him.

He wanted Herman to return and promise never to leave again.

Was this all just a dream? Or a nightmare?

Maybe when he woke up, everything would go back to how it used to be.

At Kelly's residence.

When Kelly returned home after work, he found Zev sitting alone on the sofa in the dimly lit living room, looking forlorn.

"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Kelly asked gently, switching them on before settling beside Zev.

Zev's eyes were swollen and red, clear signs that he had been crying.

He pulled Kelly into an embrace and murmured, "Gary told me to go see Caden,
