Chapter 131:

Alice's heart raced as her eyes widened.

“Huh? What did he just call me?” she asked herself. She stared at him, genuinely surprised. “How do you know my nickname?”

Caden silenced her question with a kiss, his focus clearly not on explaining but on fulfilling her desires.

Although she had agreed to do it just once, Caden took his time, deliberately prolonging the moment. His movements were slow, but his grip remained firm.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over their intertwined forms. Alice looked up, meeting her gaze, and saw her reflection in her eyes.

His flushed face and dazed expression started her. Both her voice and the sight of herself seemed unfamiliar, almost strange.

Caden's intense gaze seemed to pierce through her, making her chest tighten. For a brief moment, Alicia wished she could stay locked in her embrace forever, suspended in time.

Afterward, Alicia collapsed onto the couch, exhausted and still dazed from the intensity of the moment. Caden printed out the revised agreement and handed it to her to sign.

Still stunned, Alice looked at him. “How did you know my name was Lucky?”

The nickname was a gift from her mother, who hoped that Alice would have a peaceful and prosperous life. Her father, on the other hand, despised it, considering it superficial and trivial. He forbade anyone to use it, so only her mother called her Lucky.

And now, Caden was the second person to use it.

At that moment, Alice wasn't sure how to feel. It was like she was caught in a wave, but somehow, holding on to him made her feel safe from being swept away.

“It was in the first photo in your album,” Caden admitted. “I saw it there.”
