When Monica found out that it was Caden who had brought Alicia back, she couldn't stop chattering, her eyes shining with excitement.

Just as she wrapped herself in a towel, her phone ranged on the counter.
He looked at the screen and frowned. Joshua, again.
He kept calling. Without hesitation, Alice blocked the number and tapped the screen with her finger.
Alicia found Monica standing by the window. Just as Monica was about to draw the curtains, Alicia saw
