Alicia looked away and continued rubbing her forehead, preferring not to engage Joshua in conversation.

Joshua gently pulled her to his side, trying to keep some distance from Caden.

He greeted Caden in a polite but distant tone. “Caden.”

Alicia discreetly moved her hand away, wiping the area of ​​her dress where Joshua had touched it.

Caden responded with a slight curl of his lips, his casual acknowledgment.

Joshua then asked, “You are always so busy. How did you manage to bring Alice here today?”

Caden replied nonchalantly, “It was just a chance encounter.”

“Quite a coincidence, isn't it?” Joshua commented, his tone still dripping with hostility.

Caden let out a soft chuckle.

"If you're intrigued by the coincidence, maybe you should ask your ex-wife," I suggested.
