Chapter 330:


    How had she aplished it? How had she managed to do it so perfectly?


    Without dy, he dialed Alicia’s number.


    As expected, she didn’t pick up.


    Caden’s thoughts then turned to Gerry.


    Gerry had identally revealed earlier that Alicia had been to Averibon.


    Caden pressed Gerry for more details, and Gerry, unable to keep it hidden any longer, admitted over the phone, “Alicia went to Averibon to uncover your past with your mother.


    She nned it as a surprise for you and told us to keep it quiet.”


    Caden’s thoughts swirled.


    That exined her trip to Averibon.


    Ynda wasn’t aware of the details between him and his mother, so she didn’t know how to improve Lina.


    Neither did Alicia.


    Yet, Alicia had secretly set out to discover more.


    She visited his childhood haunts and spoke with neighbors and rtives, learning about his mother’s deep affection for him.


    She had intended to surprise him that day.


    It exined her strong reaction when she saw him with Ynda.


    What was even more shocking was that she had an ident the same day, and without a second thought, he had chosen Ynda over her, leaving her in danger.


    Later, she tearfully proposed, “Will you marry me? Say yes, even if it’s just a lie.” He cruelly refused.


    She smiled through her despair, shaking her head, tears in her eyes.

    Caden couldn’t exin it, but he found himself paralyzed.


    He bowed his head, deep in thought.


    Lina approached and touched him.


    It detected Caden’s distress.


    Its eyes dimmed, andfort mode activated.


    Like Caden’s mother once did, Lina began to sing a luby to soothe him.


    Ovee with sadness, Caden reached to turn it off.


    Just as his fingers touched the switch, Lina’s voice stuttered, and another voice took up the song, soft and clear.


    She hummed gently.


    “The dark sky hangs low, with bright stars shining.


    Fireflies dance in the night.


    Whom do you long for?”


    Caden’s breath caught, and his heartache nearly overwhelmed him.


    The luby his mother used to sing, now softly voiced by Alicia, revealed a hidden love within the surprise.


    Caden was overwhelmed.


    He realized he had let her downpletely.


    Memories flooded Caden’s mind, unfolding like scenes in a film.


    It was then that he fully realized how freely and wholeheartedly Alicia had always loved him.


    When she loved Joshua, who sought financial stability and a supportive partner, she gave everything without hesitation, even sacrificing her own promising future to marry him in secret.
