Chapter 536:

Alicia blinked in surprise, instinctively stepping back.

“Thanks, Blake, but I’m okay.

Blake knew how Alicia felt about such gestures, so he tucked his jacket away and opened the car door.

Alicia hesitated, glancing down at her soaked clothes, but then climbed into the car.

Once inside, Blake handed her his jacket.

“Here, dry off a bit.

She brushed the rain from her face and said softly, “Sorry you had to witness that.”
