Chapter 153:

"Idiot!"

Caden wasn't sure if she was angry at his rudeness or at him using her nickname for the pup. Either way, her voice sounded oddly sweet to him.

The water splashed more violently in the bathtub.

Alice's sense of shame had completely disappeared. Her emotions took over, and her body trembled as soft sobs escaped her.

Caden relished these moments. Watching her cry made her seem helpless as she clung to him tightly, desperate for any sense of stability.

It gave her the satisfaction of knowing that he was the only one she could trust.

The puppy noticed Alice's tears and sensed that something was wrong. He stopped his playful movements, tilting his head in confusion as he watched her.

From time to time, Alice caught his innocent and curious gaze.

Her face turned red and she cursed Caden under her breath.

Caden freed one hand and gestured for the pup to come closer.

Although he had only been in his new home for a week, the puppy was surprisingly obedient. He snuggled into her fingers.

Caden gently covered her eyes. “Mom is a little shy. Don’t stare at her.”

After that day, everything went smoothly. Alicia's skills were undeniable and, with Caden's support, everything went swimmingly.

In his spare time, he used to bring gifts when he visited Harley in the hospital.

Harley's recovery from surgery was going well, and Alicia spared no expense. She made sure Harley received the best care, from living conditions to medication.
