Chapter 370:

Cliff was on the verge of pushing his chair away from Alicia when Caden approached.

Relieved, he quickly stood up and offered, “Mr.

“I’ll go mingle with the elders.

Enjoy yourselves,” Cliff said before making a hasty exit.

Caden took his place beside Alicia.

With a subtle gesture, he served her a portion of her favorite dish.

“Ms.

Bennett, if I impress you tonight, do I get a little reward?” he asked, a playful tone lacing his words.
