Chapter 36:

? ? ? ? ?

Alice was surprised to see him.

She had only intended to pick up some topical medicine and somehow she had run into Caden so soon. What bad luck she had had!

After everything that had happened the night before, guilt washed over her every time Caden appeared. She instinctively took a step back.

Then, she stopped and questioned her reaction. It was ridiculous to feel this way after sleeping with him. Why should she be afraid?

Alice looked down and returned to her original position.

Shortly after, Caden walked in silently.

Hank, not wanting to intrude on his moment, made up an excuse to leave. “Mr. Ward, I need to use the bathroom. You two can go ahead,” he said.

After Hank left, Caden pressed the elevator button. As the doors closed, Alicia felt the air grow thin around her.

It was then that Caden noticed the paper in her hand. Alicia quickly put it behind her back, but he had already glimpsed what it was.

In a calm tone, Caden commented, “You don't need to take birth control pills.”

Alice paused for a moment, surprised by his answer. “Why do you say that? Do you have azoospermia?”

Caden acknowledged her lack of understanding, but chose not to reprimand her. “I didn't finish last night.”

Alice's eyes widened at the abruptness of his response. She replied doubtfully, "But I thought it was rather intense."

Caden gave him a sidelong glance.

"I relied on different methods."

Alice felt a little perplexed by his answer.

Caden was the only man she had ever shared intimate moments with, and those experiences had happened twice, both times shrouded in uncertainty. Her understanding of such subjects was limited.

“I… what methods did you use?” he asked hesitantly.

The moment she spoke, Caden found himself reliving the vivid moments of the previous night.
