Chapter 659

But after a few steps, Caden stopped abruptly. Alicia was waving to someone, her back to him. He was momentarily stunned. Looking past her silhouette, he tried to discern who she was greeting. Blake approached, suitcase in tow, a broad smile on his face. Alicia didn't move to greet him; she remained standing, hands still in her pockets. Caden couldn't see her face, but sensed a smile. They were close.

Although Alicia was unaware of Caden's presence, Blake saw him. However, Blake's attention remained focused on Alicia, oblivious to his surroundings. His demeanor was cautious. When he reached Alicia, they kept a polite distance as they spoke.

Caden watched intently, his dark eyes fixed on them both. His heart felt trapped, suffocating him with a suffocating rage. They had quarreled and not spoken for several days. Now, seeing her cheerfully greet another man ignited a furious rage within him; he could only manage a bitter sneer, his lips curving into a menacing smile.

Gerry, standing nearby, was taken aback. He watched Caden for a moment, then said, "Caden, this has got to be a misunderstanding, right?" Caden's grip on his case tightened, his knuckles turning white. Amidst the surrounding noise and laughter, a chilling aura surrounded him. His voice was cold. "Let's go."

He walked away without looking back. Gerry called after him, hurrying to catch up. "Why didn't you say hello to Alicia? What if it's all a big misunderstanding?" Alicia suddenly turned, scanning the crowded area. A familiar figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. Her heart fluttered as she searched intently, but she couldn't find him. Was it Caden? It seemed so. But how could he have vanished so quickly? Determined, she searched for some time until Blake asked, "Who are you looking for?" Alicia snapped back to the present and laughed. "Nobody," she said. "It must have been my imagination."
