Chapter 166:

? ? ? ? ?

Hank's jaw dropped. Had Caden really said that? I never imagined Caden could be so blunt.

Alice was equally surprised. She stared for a few seconds before stammering, “Well…”

At that point, Caden lost his patience and walked away. Alicia ran after him. “We have rooms! “All kinds of rooms.”

She didn't dare raise her voice with so many people around, staying close to Caden and almost colliding with him.

Once they left the airport, Caden finally slowed down, and Alicia almost ran into him. She frowned at the billboard and said, “Keep that thing away from me.”

Alice sighed at her irritability. “I just made this. It’s new.”

“New doesn't always mean clean,” he replied.

His comment left her speechless.

Noticing her rolling her eyes, he said, “What are you stalling for? You wanted me to book a room, so guide me.”

"Don't you recognize me?" asked Alice, with confusion in her eyes.

“No, I don't know who you are,” Caden replied.

This left Alice stupefied.

“Who the hell are you kidding, Caden?” he has muttered to himself.

She knew that if he didn't really know who she was, he wouldn't be committing to her at all.

But she didn't want to pretend anymore; the cold was biting and she just wanted to go home. She took off her mask and exhaled deeply. "It's me, Alicia. Let's get in the car and talk."

Caden raised an eyebrow. “The inn is only a ten-minute walk away. Why do we need a car?”

Once again, Alice fell silent.

He rubbed his frozen hands together and shoved them into his pockets, frowning at the biting cold.

Caden noticed her discomfort.

She turned to Hank, who stood nearby, eager to catch every word.
