Chapter 324:
The photo in Caden’s hand had been taken while he was asleep.
She struggled to recall the exact morning it was taken.
The weather had been beautiful that day, with gentle sunlight illuminating Caden’s face, making him look irresistibly attractive.
On a whim, she snapped the picture.
By then, her feelings for him had already started to grow, though she hadn’t confessed them yet.
Instead, she secretly developed the photo and tucked it away in her wallet.
Recently, with all the arguments between them, she had chosen to put the photo aside, locking it in a drawer.
“Out of sight, out of mind,” she thought.
Trying to maintain her composure, she countered, “My drawer was locked.
You said you found it by accident?”novelbin
Caden shrugged casually.
“I happened to discover your password by chance.”
This time, Alicia didn’t respond.
Caden, wanting to push her further, smirked and said, “Both your computer and drawer passwords are my birthday.”
Alicia tightened her grip on the edge of her chair, her frustration clear.
“I’ll change them then.”
Caden seemed unfazed by her response.
He gently brushed his fingers against her hand.
“Now, about that photo.
Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Alicia took a deep breath, steadying her voice.
“I took it impulsively and forgot to delete it.”
Caden locked eyes with her, enunciating each word.
“You violated my privacy.”
Alicia was speechless for a moment.
What a shameless man!
She finally replied, “I didn’t share it with anyone.”
Caden’s gaze remained steady.
“You didn’t do anything else with it? If I had a picture of you, I would’ve used it at least three times in two days.” His tone was calm, despite the boldness of his words.
Alicia frowned.
“What do you mean?”
Caden kept his gaze fixed on her.
Alicia realized what he implied and quickly exclaimed, “I never did anything like that!”
Caden replied, “Who would know?”
She couldn’t find the words to respond.
Although she knew he was just making conversation, his comments were completely absurd.
She gritted her teeth and fought the urge to slap him.
“We were together every day.
I barely had time to think, let alone use your photo for that.”
Caden repeated himself, “Who would know?”
Her mouth fell open in disbelief.
She finally lost her patience and called him sick.
After venting, she sighed and asked, “Just tell me what you want.
Stop wasting time.”
Without hesitation, Caden replied, “I want a kiss.
Then we can settle this.”
