Chapter 666

Alicia raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

Caden’s mouth set into a firm line. “Your front seat was used by that guy Blake, and I find it… dirty.”

Alicia was momentarily speechless at his response, and then seething with anger.

She had already gone to bed that night, but the thought of Caden out drinking and her unease made her go out to pick him up. She also wanted to fix their relationship and end their ongoing rift. Yet, Caden seemed intent on creating more drama and continued to stir trouble.

Clutching the steering wheel tightly, Alicia clung to her last bit of patience and asked, “What have you been doing these past few days?”

Caden swallowed hard. He wasn’t ready to disclose his recent activities; the timing wasn’t right. He falsely said, “I was on a business trip.”

Alicia scoffed, “A business trip or just avoiding me? After being together so long, you avoid dealing with me directly, disappearing for a few days, then returning as if nothing’s wrong, right?”

Caden’s face remained serious. “And what about you? Why did I send Blake away? I wanted no interaction between you two. What role were you playing when you went to the airport to pick him up today?”

Alicia raised her voice, “Then why are you involved with Yolanda?”

As she spoke, the car fell into silence.

Caden looked at her gravely and asked, “Are you still upset that I helped her? I did it out of respect for the Moss family. If something had happened to her at one of my venues, Dorian would have held it against us. Didn’t I explain that already?”

Alicia was aware, but Yolanda was a constant pain. She turned her head, her breathing heavy with distress, and asked sorrowfully, “Is this what our future looks like? Do we always have to make adjustments for Yolanda? Do we always have to be under this woman’s influence?” What if Yolanda never let go? Did she have to be stuck between Caden and Yolanda for the rest of her life?

Caden irritably loosened his tie. The influence of the Moss family was significant, and resolving issues with them wasn’t a quick or simple task. On top of that, Corey had started interfering.

“As long as I maintain my boundaries, what harm can Yolanda really do to me?” Caden taunted.
