Chapter 23:

Alicia was unable to react for a few seconds. She quickly sat up to hide the blood stain on her pants.

She then placed her hands demurely on her knees and looked at Caden, her eyes nervous. Right now, she looked like a child caught red-handed.

Caden looked at her over from head to toe and asked, “What are you trying to take? I know all about this car. “Ask.”

With a slight blush, Alice replied flatly: "I wasn't trying to catch anything."

Terrified that more blood would stain her trousers, she kept her legs tightly closed. However, the trembling in her voice, now higher in pitch, betrayed her anxiety.

Caden noticed this change, sensing that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was bothering her.

When he noticed that his hands had turned pale from clenching, he asked, "Are you okay?"

Alice bit her lip. Her pride wouldn't let her admit what had really happened. "I'm fine," she murmured.

If it had been anyone else with her, she would have asked for help, regardless of their gender. But this was Caden. There was no way she was going to show her vulnerability to him.

Caden stared at her, as if he was scanning every part of her body. The way he looked at her made her feel like if he was trying to strip her, expose her.

Seconds later, Caden broke his silence. “Okay. I’m leaving, then.”

Alice blinked in confusion.

Caden had never explained himself, and his statement had an underlying meaning that she didn't quite understand.

She looked at him. His eyes were still indifferent.

As he was about to close the door, Alice leaned towards him and murmured, "Wait."

That subtle movement was enough to make the blood flow more freely.
