Caden's voice was colder than the rain lashing outside.
Alice struggled to hold the umbrella, the bag in her hand shaking slightly, full of antiseptic and bandages.
"Letsee your wound."
Caden's response was indifferent. "No need."
She rolled up the car window without thinking twice. Alicia froze, her reflection staring back at her in the glass.
Caden was silent for a moment, then looked out the window and noticed she was still standing there, motionless.
| frowned slightly.
With a sigh, he slowed down and opened the door, letting her in.
She carefully slid into the passenger seat, wiping the rain off her clothes. The silence between them was thick,
but Caden finally broke it.
“What are you doing here at this hour?” His voice was shrill. “Shouldn’t you be with Joshua by now, nice and
warm in...?"”
Alice couldn't believe how sharp his words were. She was fed up with his constant attacks and wondered if he
would know when to stop.
Her emotions, already tangled and confused along the way, were completely untangled when he sat down next
to her.
Without thinking, he sneered, “If it weren't for you hitting your shoulder like that, | wouldn't even care about
you.”
Firmly, she took out iodine and cotton swabs, ready to clean the wound.
The air in the car slowly changed, becoming less tense as the moments passed.
Caden had stopped the car earlier to calm the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. The heavy rain
outside had been a distraction, and he didn't trust he could continue driving without losing control. Pulling over
had been the safest option, but he hadn't expected Alicia to follow him there. He watched her closely, knowing
she'd used the excuse of her injury to check on him. But that didn't bother him. In fact, he was in a better mood
now.

Alice looked at him, meeting his gaze. His deep eyes seemed to draw her in, making her hesitate.
She knew how dangerous her charm could be, so she quickly looked away.
“Take off your shirt,” | murmured. “Letsee the wound.”
Caden leaned back, almost lazily, and began to unbutton his shirt, his fingers moving slowly.
The quiet sound of rustling fabric filled the car, creating a strange feeling of intimacy in the air.
As she pushed the hem of his shirt aside, his chest and abs slowly cinto view. Alice did her best not to look
directly at him.
She quickly snapped out of her daze and protested, “Stop, stop. You don't have to take everything off. Just show
Caden's voice was mocking. "What, you don't want to see the rest?"
Alice was momentarily speechless.
He wanted to look away, but he couldn't.
Without hesitation, Caden removed his shirt completely, revealing his toned arms.
The car was filled with an undeniable tension. The wound on his shoulder was not serious, but the slight bleeding
added to his robust appearance.
Alicia focused on healing the wound, doing her best to ignore the heat between them.
“Is this convenient?” Caden asked, his tone unreadable.
“Mm?” Alice replied absentmindedly.
Before she could react, she felt his hands wrap around her waist and lift her onto his lap. Her face turned bright
red. “You...”
Caden looked at her, calm and unfazed. “It's easier this way.”
Alice felt something pressing down on her, and her mind jumped to conclusions. “Is it getting hard already?”
Caden paused before letting out a low chuckle. “What, are you skind of aphrodisiac? “It’s just my belt.”
Mortified, Alice didn't dare check. Instead, she cleared her throat and picked up the iodine, trying to concentrate.
What should have been a simple task becuncomfortable as its proximity made it difficult to concentrate.
The heat radiating from him didn't help.
“Why are you shaking?” Caden asked, watching her closely. “Is your blood making you shiver?”
Alice forced herself to remain calm, swallowing her nerves. “I'm not shaking.”
But as she pressed the cotton ball against her skin, it slipped and missed the wound entirely, landing on
uninjured skin.
He squinted, trying to hide it. “Oh, have | suddenly becshort-sighted?”
Caden smiled to himself and shifted slightly.
Alice, already nervous, whispered: "Don't move."
| laughed softly. “If I don't move closer, you might not get to finish tonight.”
As they adjusted, their bodies pressed even closer together, leaving little space between them.
Alice, tense and unsure of where to place her hands, instinctively leaned forward.
But with his abs so close, she had nowhere to go. In her attempt to adjust, she tightened her thighs around his
waist.

“Hurry up with the medicine,” he murmured, his voice raspy, tinged with something else.
Alicia, unaware of the change in tone, concentrated on applying the antiseptic.
