Alicia spoke, her gaze lost.

She didn't want to meet Caden's gaze.

Caden, on the other hand, seemed completely relaxed. He leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed. “What do you mean by that?”

She hadn't expected him to ask that question.

Considering how things used to go between them, shouldn't they just strip down and move on? He'd give her what she wanted, and then he'd leave.

But since he was questioning her, she couldn't help herself and had to address him directly. "Can you stop acting like you're not aware?" With all his games, it was clear that he had a lot of experience at this.

Caden began to walk towards her at a leisurely pace. But for some reason, he felt as if each step was weighing on his heart, stirring up conflicting emotions within him. He took the bag from her hand and opened it.

He looked at her with a mocking smile. “Condoms? Is that what you bought?”

Alice blushed when she heard his laughter.
