NovelStartChapter 743: Without a word, Alicia slapped him hard. The sharp sound reverberated through the room. A faint red mark blossomed on his cheek, but Caden didn't flinch. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, but embarrassment never crossed his face.
Instead, he took her hand and gently rubbed it.
"Feel better now?" "Get out," Alicia said, her voice icy.

"If you're still upset, go on. Take it out on me. Use the other hand when one gets tired." Alicia's glare deepened.
"You're willing to go this far for a child? You have plenty of women who would gladly give you children. Why waste your feelings on me?" galnovs.com, where stories thrive Caden's expression remained unchanged, unfazed by her words.
"Why just shout when you can hit and shout at the stime? It's more effective." A tightness coiled in her chest.
Caden had a way of deflecting conflict, steering it into unexpected territory. He was relentless, weaving through emotions with practiced ease. But there was no doubt — his love for her ran deep, and he knew she felt the same, even if she refused to admit it.
But before she could say another word, he gently lifted her onto the sofa, placing his thick coat over her knees. He knelt down, resting his head in her lap, the gesture so tender it made her breath catch.
"You know I can't live without you," he said softly, his eyes searching hers.
"Who else would I want to have a child with?" His voice dropped, vulnerability breaking through.

"Didn't you and Yolanda have your fun in Terriland?" Caden's jaw tightened.
"We didn't. I needed her cooperation, so I let her into my room. I wasn't thinking straight, and she took advantage of that to leave a mark on my neck." Alicia's gaze remained cold and unyielding.
He sighed, reluctantly admitting, "Yes, I was petty. I wanted you to see things from my what I was going through. But apart from that mark, I didn't let her touch active and feel me. The door was open the whole time."
"I can show you the surveillance footage if it helps." He had been clouded by frustration then but had known enough to leave himself an escape route. He had kept the evidence ready, knowing Alicia's anger would be fierce. Alicia's retort was sharp.
"You and Yolanda make a fine pair. If the chemistry isn't there yet, you can build it over time. And if you still can't feel anything, well, modern fertility treatments work wonders. Soon enough, Yolanda could give you a child every year, filling the Ward house with heirs."
