Chapter 56:

Alice pointed to a large vase nearby. “I’ve been here for a while, hiding behind that.”

Caden, amused, commented, “You're quite the expert at hiding. “You could probably join the CIA.”

As he was splitting the mangosteen in half, he was interrupted by Alice, who picked up one half and asked, “You didn't share our chat logs with Joshua, did you?” Given Joshua's nature, he would surely have mentioned it already.

“Are you worried he’ll find out?” Caden asked.

Alice savored the mangosteen, enjoying its sweetness, and playfully reached for the piece closest to Caden's mouth.

Caden was momentarily speechless.

Alice, eating confidently, said, “You heard Joshua. My relationship with him has evolved, and I don't want any misunderstandings.”

Caden laughed softly. “You really agreed to be his lover?”

Alice grimaced slightly at the question, but agreed.

Caden watched her intently, his expression unreadable. I remembered how Alicia had collected when Joshua had touched her hand earlier in the yard.

However, Caden chose to remain silent, not revealing his true reasons for visiting the Yates mansion.

Alice, looking at the remaining fruit, commented, “Why are these mangosteens so good? Aren’t you going to eat someone?”
