Alicia hurt her accusation at him, clearly frustrated by his actions. “Even an animal needs rest. You didn’t let me have one that night!”

Caden replied calmly, “Animals rest and continue the next day. “You’ve had a whole week.”

In a stern voice Alice replied, "Are you really comparing me to an animal now?"

Caden didn't respond. This conversation had taken a strange turn because of him. Used to handle these kinds of discussions, he knew better than to take things any further. I have decided to stay still.

When he didn't respond, Alice persisted, "So you finally understand how wrong you were, do you?"

Caden just shook his head. “Technically, I haven't done anything wrong according to the agreement. But I’ve learned that sometimes it’s smarter to admit guilt.”

Alice blinked in surprise. What did he mean? Was he referring to her experience with other women?
