Chapter 399:


    Ciara sighed.


    “With such a strong rival, don’t you feel any sense of urgency?”


    Caden chuckled lightly.


    “Alicia doesn’t like the hypocritical type.”


    Ciara’s tone turned sarcastic.


    “Right, she prefers those who are stubbornly aloof.”


    Caden was left speechless.


    Whose grandmother are you, really?


    Having observed everything, Ciara understood that ke was no ordinary man.


    “Let me tell you something: anyone associated with the Ward family should never be underestimated.


    Stay vignt,” she warned.


    After Ciara left, Caden remained standing in silence, lost in thought.


    ke closed the door behind him and approached Caden, his expression filled with regret.


    “Caden, Ray doesn’t want to leave.


    Since I n to stay in Warrington for a while, would it be alright if he stayed here temporarily?”


    Caden wasn’t one to make a fuss over such things.


    “Alright.”


    ke’s face lit up with a warm smile.


    “Thank you.”


    Caden shot back, “That’s a bit hypocritical, even for you.


    There’s no one else around, so you don’t need to put on an act.”


    Ga lno vel s .


    takes you into new worlds


    ke remained unbothered by the remark.


    “I genuinely appreciate it.


    Even if you’re grumpy and pretentious, I owe you one.”


    Caden replied tly, “If you truly mean it, then stay away from my woman.”


    ke raised an eyebrow, intrigued.


    “What’s the matter? Are you worried I might beat you?”


    Caden scoffed derisively.


    “What do you think you have that could possiblypete with me?”


    ke was fully aware of his limitations.


    He never intended topete with Caden for Alicia’s affections.


    Whether Alicia had feelings for Caden or not, he understood that he simply didn’t have the means to surpass him and win her heart.


    Still, speaking as a man, ke said, “Alicia is truly a wonderful woman.


    If you genuinely care for her, please don’t put each other through unnecessary torment.”


    Caden remained silent.


    ke’s words hit a nerve, stirring irritation within him.


    He responded coldly, “What happens between Alicia and me is none of your concern.”


    ke sighed, realizing the reality of the situation.


    This was Joy Mansion—Caden’s domain—and he had no desire to create conflict.


    So, he decided to end the conversation and take his leave.


    As time passed and ke became more familiar with Joy Mansion, Ray began to engage more with Ciara.


    When he was in a stable mood, he was a well-mannered child.


    Ciara grew deeply fond of him, and ke noticed this each time he visited.


    On his visits, ke would bring gifts—some for Ray, others for Ciara.


    He wanted to show his gratitude for the care she had shown Ray.


    A month passed quickly, and ke found himself visiting more often than Caden.


    Caden, caught up in work, had only managed to visit once, while ke hade by five or six times.


    One day, Ciara casually remarked, “So which one of you is actually my grandson?”
