Chapter 1058

    ?<strong>Chapter 1058:</strong>


    With her eyes still closed, Alicia fibbed. “Right, so no more today. You should reflect on your actions.”


    Suddenly, Caden remarked, “Not necessarily.”


    Alicia tensed. Turning, she saw Caden tearing open a packet of condoms.


    Instinctively, Alicia sprang up to flee, but Caden said calmly, “Seems like you can move after all.”


    Confronted with his knowing look, Alicia realized her ruse had backfired, leaving her speechless.


    Afterward, Alicia clutched her back, wincing in pain.


    Caden eyed her. “Still pretending?”


    This time, however, Alicia’s back pain was genuine. With a sigh, shey down to rest and finally broached an important topic. “How is your investigation of Pierre?”


    Caden yed with the wedding ring on her finger. “He’s of no significant concern and poses no threat. If nothing unforeseen urs, he won’t end well.”


    As autumn approached, Corey introduced tworge osmanthus trees to the vi’s courtyard. He also oversaw the nting of various other flowers, closely supervising the workers. Afterward, he sought his sister, only to discover herughing with Pierre under the osmanthus trees.


    Corey approached with a stern expression.


    Gemma said, “Corey said they’ll bloom next month. You can make osmanthus cake for me then.”


    “Sure,” Pierre responded with respect.


    “Do you know how?”


    “No.”


    “Then why agree?”


    “I can learn.”


    Gemma chuckled. “Then I’ll teach you.”


    “When did you start enjoying teaching?” Corey interjected sharply. “You always find excuses to avoid baking for me, yet you’re so eager to teach a stranger.”


    Hearing this, Pierre stepped back.


    “That’s not fair, Corey. You always said you didn’t want me to tire myself, so you discouraged me from baking.”


    Now you’re upset I haven’t made any for you,” Gemma protested.


    To make her point, she turned and headed to the kitchen to prepare desserts.


    Corey departed with threerge bags of them. Two were for Alicia and Caden. Having failed to gain Gemma’s favor, he left, ying the role of a reluctant delivery man. His mood was sour.


    Seizing the moment, Gemma instructed Pierre in the art of cake baking.


    The chemistry between them was palpable, sparking like dry tinder catching me.
