GoodNovelChapter 1023:
Without missing a beat, she pulled out her phone and, right before Caden, blocked every one of Corey's
contacts. “There. Happy now? And for the record, | haven't spoken to Corey since we returned. Even during those
two years in Xada, we only exchanged a few work-related words.”
Caden paused, caught off guard.
Alicia smirked, patting his face. “Feeling better? Good. Then go ahead and hire a couple more secretaries. By
next month, | expect to see them on board.”
Caden was left speechless, unable to argue.
After marrying, Alicia’s emotions becmuch more stable than before. She no longer displayed her feelings

In this house, the soundproofing was poor, and her voice drifted clearly through the door. “If you even think

and Alicia. And yet, his temper flared far too easily. Why couldn’t he just admit the truth and let it go?
Lost in thought, Caden was startled when the door creaked open.
Caden quickly straightened, his gaze locking onto hers with intent. “Already calmed down?”
Alicia stood tall, her expression frosted with a hint of chill. “Caden, | know you're jealous of Corey, but there has
to be a limit. This is the last tI'm letting this upset me. If you keep making a fuss, we’ll end up divorced.”
Caden’s carefully constructed composure shattered in an instant. “When have | ever been jealous of Corey? Is he
even worth it?”
Alicia resisted the urge to roll her
