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.”

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.

This left Alicia speechless, as Caden's insinuation seemed to hint at a romance.

Wasn't Caden the one who offered to take her?

Joshua's intense gaze made Alicia uncomfortable, so she decided to use a tactic from the book.

“I was walking too fast and accidentally bumped into Caden,” she explained quietly, her hand still on her forehead. Feeling overwhelmed, she added, “I feel a little dizzy. Can I come in and rest for a while?”
