Chapter 209:

The next moment, there was a knock at the door.

"What are you doing up so late?"

The door was slightly ajar, allowing Gerry to enter.

The room looked nothing like he had expected.

“Why are all these bags lying around? Are they planning to move?”

Gerry's arrival broke the tension, but Alice felt even more embarrassed.

"Mr.

Hopkins, when did you arrive?" he asked.

Noticing her discomfort, Gerry cleared his throat.

“Don’t worry.

I didn’t hear anything you two were arguing about.

Alicia was speechless.

Her acting was poor, and it was obvious she was enjoying this.

Feeling awkward, she lowered her head and began to tidy up, trying to hide her feelings.

She was sensitive, while Caden remained direct.

Without hesitation, she turned to Gerry and asked, “Why are you so late?”

“I was just leaving a party and thought I’d stop by on my way home,” Gerry explained as he walked into the room.

“Why don’t you get up? I’m a guest here.

Bring me a glass of water.

Caden’s face remained impassive.

“There’s water in the bathroom.

Feel free to help yourself.

Gerry was momentarily speechless.
