Chapter 34:

Alice closed her eyes as tears fell down her face.

"Forks. Am I really that stupid?” she whispered.

“Yes, extremely stupid,” Caden replied flatly.

Alice struggled to form her words. “You must think I'm jealous of Lilliana, don't you?”

Caden probably assumed she wanted that expensive diamond ring. But that wasn't it at all.

What truly destroyed Alicia was seeing Joshua's hands.

The year his parents died in the plane crash, their bodies were trapped under the wreckage. Joshua risked a second explosion and spent three days and nights digging through the rubble. When he recovered their remains, his hands were so damaged they were almost unrecognizable.

If it hadn't been for Joshua's betrayal, Alice would never have realized how convincing pretending could be. After shedding her tears, she felt the weight on her heart lighten.

His vision blurred and he felt like he was in a dream.

"Why are you crying?" I asked her in a low voice.

“Have you lost your mind?” Caden asked, his tone high-pitched. After all, she was the one crying.

Alice paused for a moment and gently stroked her face. She carefully wiped the tears from his cheeks and then wiped his nose.

Caden let her continue without reacting, staying still while she worked.
