Chapter 652: Her distress stemmed from Cadensck of seriousness about their engagement.


    It was obvious that he was at fault, yet he made no effort tofort her.


    Was his ego really that significant? Alicia could no longer contain her frustration.


    She pulled her hand back forcefully.


    Im leaving.


    You can take Mrs.


    Moss home.


    Caden rose with a serious expression.


    Alicia.


    Just then, the door to the treatment room swung open, and Regina appeared.


    Both tried to hide their feelings, but Regina sensed the tension.


    Whats wrong with you two? Regina asked with concern.


    Is this about Ynda? Alicia turned away.


    No, Im leaving.


    Regina attempted to exin.


    Ms.


    Bet, I learned today that the store is owned by Caden.


    He was merely assisting Ynda to avoid any issues.


    Please, dont take it to heart.


    Alicia hesitated, but then she heard Cadens harsh words.


    Why are you exining this? Youre just spoiling her.


    A restlessness of feelings welled up in Alicia, but she did not turn back and walked away swiftly.


    Regina sighed and said, Caden, why are you arguing with Caden clenched his jaw.


    He too felt that this minor disagreement wasnt worth the fight, but Alicias distant behavior left him no chance to rify.


    Additionally, it was evident that she was troubled by Ynda.


    He couldnt understand why.


    Hadnt he made his feelings and intentions clear? He was not so careless as to leave any ambiguity regarding Ynda.


    Ill drive you home, Caden offered.


    Mrs.


    Moss, theres something important I need to discuss with you.


    Regina responded, You can tell me here.


    Afterward, you should go look for Alicia.


    She shouldnt be out there by herself.


    Caden felt a pang in his heart.


    He said, Alicia and I are nning to get engaged in November.


    Please make sure youre avable to represent the Moss family at our engagement party.


    Regina was taken aback for a moment.


    She understood Cadens underlying motive.


    Despite his fallout with Dorian, maintaining ties was important.


    Her presence at the engagement would suffice for the entire Moss family.


    Congrattions, Caden.


    Ill certainly attend, Regina said.


    Do you have a specific date in mind for the engagement? Yes, its set for November 23rd, which is also Alicias birthday.


    Reginas face stiffened.


    Alicia and Ynda were born on the same day? After Caden left, Regina remained standing for quite some time.


    Her mind was in chaos, struggling to process all the information at once.
