Chapter 813:

“Caden’s life is a whirlwind these days. His own grandmother sees him but rarely. It’s been two years. Don’t you wonder if your ex-fiancé has evolved in any way?”

Instead of responding, Alicia hurled a glass in his direction.

Corey swiftly sidestepped, avoiding what could have been a direct hit to his head. The glass shattered to the floor, its fragments scattering, leaving Corey a bit shaken. Yet, he teased, “Quite the intense reaction. It seems you’ve still got some attachment, you sentimental one.”

Despite not having seen much of Caden lately, Corey’s trip to Warrington was necessary this time. He needed to acquire some medical equipment.
