Chapter 1137:
Caden resolved to tread carefully before he figured out their intentions. He returned all the gifts intended for her
but agreed to the business project. Ellis was influential in Banta. Caden wouldn't provoke Ellis, yet he wasn’t
intimidated. Business was separate, but any ploys involving his daughter were off-limits.
Scarlette would make her own choices once she was older. Until then, Caden was committed to shielding her
from any undue influences.
After ending the call with Ellis, Hank knocked from outside the door. “Mr. Ward, the car is ready.”
Alicia assumed Caden had business to handle and was about to go back to Scarlette, but then she noticed Caden
pulling out a dress. Caden carefully helped Alicia into it and said, “I’m taking you somewhere special.”
The dress was stunning, and Alicia couldn't help but speculate with a glowing smile. “Is there a new restaurant in

“I'd love to,” Alicia beamed. As long as she was with Caden, she was content.
Noticing her blush, Caden chuckled and wrapped an arm around her as they headed to the car.
In addition to dining at the elegant restaurant, Caden surprised Alicia with a visit to a jewelry exhibition where he
purchased her favorite pieces.
As evening approached, Caden phoned hto inform them he wouldn't be returning that night.
Alicia narrowed her eyes playfully and said, “Which hotel are you thinking of this time?”
Caden kissed her lightly, his voice teasing. “You'll see.”
Whether it was his warm breath or his alluring face under the dim lights, Alicia felt her knees weaken, frustrated
by her own lack of composure. Yet, she couldn't suppress her excitement about what he had planned for the
evening.
Her assumption was mistaken, however, as Caden led her to a private screening room.
Alicia instinctively said, “So, we're watching a movie?”
Caden raised an eyebrow. “You sound disappointed.”
“Not at all,” Alicia replied, a hint of reluctance in her voice.
