?Chapter 208:
Alice turned her back to him.
“Do you need anything else?”
Caden’s voice was cold.
“Turn around and face me when you speak.
”
Reluctantly, Alice turned to him, wary of his unpredictable reactions.
Caden''s gaze fell to his knee.
With an unreadable expression, Alice reassured him: “It’s nothing.
Just a little bump.
”
“Were you showing concern?” Caden snapped.
“Remove all your belongings except the painting,” he ordered.
Alice was momentarily speechless.
She realized how deep Caden''s disdain for her ran, far deeper than she had imagined.
However, he was right.
He decided to eliminate it all, ending his ties once and for all.
Leaving the painting aside, he began to carefully gather his things.
Even though they were insignificant items, she decided to get rid of them, knowing that Caden had used them.
She began filling arge trash bag, item by item.
Caden watched her, growing more and more annoyed.
“Enough,” he murmured, closing his eyes for a moment.
"I''ve nearly finished," Alice replied firmly.
Caden remained silent.
As he watched her, he noticed that she was knocking over a ss that he often used.
“Why are you throwing away my belongings?” he asked, frowning.
"I''ve used them.
I wouldn''t want you to feel soiled," Alice replied.
He stood there stunned into silence.
Alicia went to the kitchen and put the pots and pans in the bag.
“These were my purchases,” she reminded him, continuing with her task.
Caden stood, momentarily speechless.
She thenmented: “We have shared a bed and we have kissed.
Should I also jump into your garbage bag?”
Alice replied indifferently: "As you wish.
"
Caden clenched his jaw in frustration.
In a moment of tension, she reached for the calming candle beside her.
But as soon as she lit it, Alice quickly extinguished the me and threw it in the trash.
Now calmer, Caden asked, "You''re taking it all, right?"
Alice thought about it, remembering the value of the candle.
She took it out of the trash and put it in her bag.
"She''s too soiled for you.
I''ll keep her," he dered.
Caden sneered disdainfully.
Who cared about the candle?
After more than an hour of tidying up, Alice announced, “All done.
Check it out if you want.
”
Caden didn''t bother to check.
He knew Alicia well enough.
She had probably discarded even the slightest memory of their time together.
“Have youpletely emptied the bedroom?” he asked, looking at her.
Alice nodded.
"Everything I touched is gone," he confirmed.
Caden scanned the room to make sure.
When he returned, he was holding several unopened condoms.
Alice looked away.
"They''re yours.
I''ve never used them," he stated coldly.
Annoyed, Caden threw them into a nearby trash bag.
"I''vee to hate this brand.
It reminds me too much of our disastrous time together.
"N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Alice remained silent, her anger almost pushing her toughter.
“Grim?” she mused to herself.
“If it was really so terrible, why the repeated encounters? Why continue when I was clearly tired? How could I prolong our moments together, turning a short session into a marathon?”
He sneered disdainfully.
?Honestly, you''re not as impressive as you think you are.
I once med you, but now I realize that it''s your problems that are at stake.
?
Caden''s lips twisted into a cold sneer.
“Oh yeah? Then how do you exin that you wet the sheets before I prated you?” he challenged.
Although Alice was used to his harsh words, this time they stung.
He refused to retract, replying, "You say our time together was terrible, but your face always showed pure pleasure.
Why?"
“Men can fake pleasure too,” Caden replied tly.
Alice smiled with satisfaction.
“Pretend? Interesting choice of words.
I was pretending the whole time, and so was the so-called evidence.
It was all a ruse.
”
Caden fell silent, his fists clenched in frustration.
Seeing his reaction, Alice knew it was time to leave.
“It’s okay to admit that you’re struggling, but you should seek help soon.
I wish you the best,” she said, gathering her belongings and the painting, determined to leave that toxic environment behind.
