Caden’s expression hardened, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes. “So, Corey will be there at lunch too?”
Alicia dismissed his concern. “I don’t know. You should head to the office. Don’t worry about me.”
Caden was taken aback. When she desired intimacy, she softened her tone, yet now, she brushed him off with

Alicia suggested several places that seemed ideal for a day out and let Gemma choose.

Corey then asked Alicia to persuade Cliff.
Cliff glanced between Corey and Alicia. Gazing at Alicia, he inquired, “When did you and Corey becso
close?”
Alicia, noting his misunderstanding, said, “Today is about taking care of Gemma. It’s not about Corey.”
“It doesn’t seem that way,” Cliff responded coolly. “Besides, Caden isn’t here today. | don’t want to be a
