GoodNovelChapter 1024:
Alicia turned her head, her voice steady but sharp. “I'm still angry. Wait until I'm not before you try to make it up
to me.”
Frustration surged within Caden, his tone clipped. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should | be the one making it
up to you?”
Alicia raised an eyebrow, her silence louder than any retort.
Realizing he was fighting a losing battle, Caden withdrew his hand and exhaled slowly, easing his posture. “I

Alicia asked, her tone sharp, “So, | misunderstood you earlier? You really need a second secretary?”
Caden licked his lips thoughtfully. “We'll talk about work later. Just tellwhat kind of dessert you want.”

After preparing the pudding, Caden didn’t knock on the door but left it in the dining room.
After a while, Alicia emerged from the bedroom, silently sat at the table, and ate the pudding as she always did.
Once finished, she returned to the bedroom without a word.
While she ate, Caden pretended to be engrossed in his work.
As Alicia made her way back to the bedroom, Caden couldn't resist. “Finished and leaving already?”
Alicia glanced at him. “It was good, very delicious.”
Sensing an opening, Caden stood, ready to embrace her, but Alicia turned away, her words firm yet indifferent.
“Wash the dishes.”
He froze in place, stunned.
Maybe the marriage certificate had given him a newfound sense of confidence, or perhaps he had just grown
used to her curt demeanor. Either way, Caden didn’t push further that night.
