Chapter 670

Was she trying to suggest he should leave next? The more Caden dwelled on it, the angrier he became, glaring at the dog.

Feeling threatened, the dog tried to escape, but Caden caught it by the collar.

The dog whimpered, looking toward Alicia in the bedroom for help.

Alicia, confused, got up to investigate, only to find Caden carrying the dog toward the kitchen.

“What are you doing, Caden?” she asked.

Could he be so upset that he’d resort to cooking the dog?

Caden responded without emotion, “My stomach hurts. I’m putting this dog to cook for me in the kitchen.”

Alicia was at a loss for words.

She had never seen Caden behave like a child having a tantrum.

Caden set the dog down on the floor, and they looked at each other, both frozen.

Alicia crossed her arms and tilted her head, watching intently.

“Go ahead,” she said, “I’d like something to eat too.”

Caden reprimanded the dog, “Did you hear that? If you don’t cook, your mom will be disappointed.”

Alicia interjected, “Stop causing trouble.”

The dog, with its head low, scampered away.

Caden didn’t try to follow it.

Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and started to cook.

His stomach was aching, filled only with acid and alcohol.

He needed to eat.

Alicia didn’t go back to the bedroom. Instead, she crouched down to pet the dog, her ears tuned to the sounds coming from the kitchen.

Caden was still downstairs.

The sound of water sizzling brought back memories of happier times.

She noticed the little dinosaur plush toy on the sofa, untouched by the rain.

Alicia scolded herself for being so sentimental over such a small thing, yet she couldn’t look away.

What was she to do, so helplessly in love with him?

As she was deep in thought, a sudden crash from the kitchen interrupted the silence.

Instinctively, Alicia worried something had happened to Caden and hurried to check.

Just as she had anticipated, Caden had tipped over the pot, causing boiling water to splash onto his hand.
