Caden scoffed. “Then drink the whole bottle.”

Shelia was speechless. She was used to Caden's bluntness, but this level of directness still caught her off guard.

Alice kept her head down, silent.

Shelia chuckled. “Joshua feels sorry for her. He lets her stay here to take care of you. And of course, he pays her monthly for it.”
