Chapter 227:

Alicia paused.

Caden's explanation caught her off guard.

"Why are you explaining it to me now?" she asked uncertainly.

Caden didn’t answer right away.

Instead, he gently massaged her aching shoulder.

Even though he’d been unconscious and unresponsive, he’d heard Alicia’s panicked calls.

She’d desperately searched for his wounds and dragged him to safety.

It was clear she was determined to save him, no matter what it took.

He was aware of everything.

“You wanted to know, right? That’s why I’m telling you,” Caden’s voice was unusually deep and reassuring.

Alice almost believed that he really cared for her.

Unable to resist, she looked up at him.

He leaned down and kissed her lips.

It had been a while since their last kiss, and Caden found himself enjoying it more than he expected, wanting more.

Alicia didn't resist; she let him have his way.

Her answer seemed to touch him.

He stepped back a little and said, “About the scarf Yolanda was wearing the other day, I forgot it was yours.

I bought another one to fix it.

Alice was startled.

She had been upset for quite some time.

However, hearing Caden's words eased her distress.

She silently scolded herself for her lack of determination.

Caden’s kiss grew deeper and more intense.

His desire for her was palpable.

Alicia felt the heat between them as well and whispered softly, “I’m hurt…”

Caden stepped back slightly, his voice hoarse.
