Chapter 638: Alicias mind was in chaos.
If you really want to marry me, why here, in such a ce? she asked.
Its just something I really like, he confessed.
Alicia gave him a brief look.
Too tired to debate further, she said, I dont want to argue with you.
Anyway, it doesnt count.
Cadenughed lightly.
You didnt agree anyway.
The earlier urgency had faded.
He nned to wait until they were home to propose properly.
Alicia could tell that he was serious about wanting to marry her.
Throughout their time together, she had felt genuinely loved.
Yet, the idea of marriage still seemed like a distant dream.
How could Caden willingly settle into the role of a husband? Wasnt he the very person who detested being confined? Alicia was conflicted.
Caden, are you making this decision impulsively? she asked.
If that was the case, she would not consent.
She had no desire to endure another divorce.
Caden understood the seriousness of her worries and embraced her closely.
This isnt an impulse, he reassured her.
Tears welled up in Alicias eyes.
Then why… she began to ask.
Caden himself was uncertain.
He was certain of only one thing: he would provide whatever she desired.
Wealth, influence, affection.
Even marriage.
All of it.novelbin
He wanted her to be happy.
Alicia asked, Caden, are you truly in love with me? Cadens response was not straightforward.
Rather, he replied, I wouldnt tolerate anyone else pping my face, but for you, its different.
Aliciaughed through her tears, amused yet emotional.
She didnt want to cry, so she clung to Cadens neck firmly.
Caden, she murmured softly.
Caden responded, Hmm? Can we do it again? she suggested.
This was her first time making such a request, even though her body felt weak.
Caden hesitated for once.
Are you sure? he asked.
Alicia pressed a kiss to his lips.
Mm, she whispered.
I desire you.
Caden finally understood what it meant to be utterly drained.
If Alicia hadnt copsed from sheer exhaustion, he might have found himself awkwardly asking her to stop.
