Chapter 527:

Meanwhile, Alicia had assumed Caden wouldn’t be coming home, so she showered early and tried to sleep.

Yet, rest eluded her, an uneasy feeling lingering.

Alicia moved closer and instinctively held his hand.

“Are you tired?”

Caden rarely let his exhaustion show around her, but tonight, as soon as he lay down, he sank into the cushions, too drained even to speak.

“Yeah, I’m worn out,” he admitted, barely opening his eyes.

“Good night.”

Touched by his fatigue, Alicia slipped off her slippers and curled up beside him on the couch.

Caden frowned.
