?<strong>Chapter 1051:</strong>


    Alicia, sitting down in hisp, asked softly, “Should Ie with you?”


    Caden quickly dismissed the idea, saying, “Terrnd is chaotic. Things that are illegal here are legal there. I wouldn’t be at ease.”


    He tenderly caressed her face, adding sincerely, “We’ll be apart for a week, and you don’t seem to want me to stay at all.”


    Alicia let out a dryugh and said, “It’s only a week, not a year. Mr. Ward, who was it that said love is just a spice of life? Who said one shouldn’t be too sentimental?”


    Caden retorted, “Only a fool would say that.”


    “Yes, Mr. Fool.”


    Alicia decided to leave her work for the evening and drove Caden to the airport.


    Outside their home, Caden wasn’t the type to cling to Alicia, no matter how reluctant he was to let her go. At the security checkpoint, after a quick goodbye, Caden told Alicia she should head home.


    But Alicia just smiled and gave his finger a yful tug. “Go on, I’ll wait until you’re through before I leave.”


    Her words made it even harder for Caden to walk away, but he had bigger things to deal with. He gave her a nod and turned to go.

    Inside, Hank handled the paperwork while Caden found a seat at a restaurant. Caden wasn’t hungry, so he just ordered a coffee and tried to kill time.


    With an hour left before his flight, Caden sat there, waiting. The coffee was taking forever.


    Caden checked his watch, ready to ask about it, but when he nced up, Alicia was walking toward him with two cups of coffee. He thought he was imagining it and froze for a few seconds.


    Alicia set the coffee down in front of him, shing a smile. “What’s up? Don’t recognize me, huh?”


    Caden definitely recognized her, but he couldn’t believe his eyes. “How’d you get in here?”


    Alicia held up a boarding pass with an innocent smile. “I bought a ticket. I just wanted to spend a little more time with you.”


    Caden felt a warmth in his chest and smiled at her. Alicia had this way of doing little romantic things, and each time, it felt like apletely new experience. The cost of a ne ticket didn’t matter, but the thoughtfulness Alicia showed was priceless. That extra half hour would stick with Caden for days in Terrnd, a memory he would hold onto.


    Caden moved his chair to make space for Alicia to sit next to him.


    Alicia gave him a warning. “There are people around, so no funny business.”


    Caden obediently nodded. “Alright, just a hug then.” It was the same lie Caden had fed Alicia countless times before. She knew it wasn’t true, but she fell for it every time


    How could he possibly stay obedient? With his wife in his arms, there was no way Caden could just hold her without taking things further.
