Chapter 98:

Alicia evaded Caden’s probing question with a distraction. “I’ll be kissing many more in the future.”

Caden's question was pointed out. "Do you also prepare yourself with breath spray before you kiss Joshua?"

Speechless, Alice felt that continuing the conversation might expose too much.

Determined to move from passivity to action, she bit her lip and initiated a kiss.

Caden inhaled sharply in reaction. “My wound is still fresh, and now this?”

"You talk too much," Alice complained, annoyed by his continued chatter during the kiss.

Why couldn't he keep quiet?

Kisses were supposed to be simple, without unnecessary talk.

When the kiss ended, Caden released her, and the immediate heat between them dissipated.

With a lingering feeling on her lips, Alice declared, “My safety tomorrow is your responsibility. Keep an eye on my location and intervene immediately if anything seems amiss.”

Caden, raising his head indifferently, replied, “Am I supposed to act as your bodyguard just for a kiss? That’s like expecting a free ride for a simple handshake.”

Alicia preferred to ignore his comment.
