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

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.

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