Chapter 152:

? ? ? ? ?

Recently, the weather in Warrington had turned quite cold with significant precipitation. Caden, concerned for Ciara's comfort, suggested that she postpone her visit until the weather improved.

Ciara always trusted Caden's judgment in such matters. Over the phone, he warned her, “It's getting colder. Wrap up warm. You seem to be always wrapped up in work. Are you taking care of yourself? Are you eating well?”

Sitting on the edge of the tub, Caden assured her as he checked the water temperature, “Don't worry. “Everything is under control.”

Curious about the background noise, Ciara asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m about to take a bath,” Caden replied, looking toward the door.

Ciara observed, “It’s still daylight. Isn’t it too early to take a bath?” Caden just smiled silently.

"Grandma, I have to go now," she ended the call, wrapped a towel around her waist and headed back to the bedroom.

The bed was untidy but cozy, with Alice resting in the center of it.

The blanket around her waist barely concealed the intimate marks that adorned her legs and back. Caden's eyes lingered on those red reminders of their passion.

His touch wasn't rough, but Alicia's sensitive skin bore the marks of their encounters, marks that faded and then reappeared.

These marks served as silent affirmations of their intense connection.

“Are you still catching your breath?” Caden teased, his voice playful as he held her close, his chest pressing against her back. “Bath time.”

Alice, her cheeks still glowing with warmth, buried her face in the mattress and bit her lip.
