Chapter 635:
“Aren’t you going to remove the robe before sleeping?” Alicia’s face blushed deeply. She looked away, feeling slightly embarrassed.
“I don’t like sleeping without clothes in hotels.”
With a thoughtful expression, Caden suggested, “There’s a cotton T-shirt available.”
“I’m not in the mood to change. I’ll just sleep like this,” Alicia said.
She then glanced at his bare chest.
“You’re sleeping in just that?”
Caden’s voice had a husky edge.
“Yeah. It’s warm tonight.”
As he spoke, Alicia sensed he was feeling unsettled. She hesitated, wondering what had changed his mood so suddenly. Yet, Caden appeared deeply engrossed in his reading, as if his mind were free from distractions.
Driven by curiosity, Alicia lifted the blanket slightly to sneak a peek. Indeed, there was a noticeable bump.

Alicia blurted out, “What’s going on?”
Caden stayed still, his face unchanging.
“Not sure. It’s been rebellious lately, doesn’t really listen to me.”
Alicia wasn’t buying his explanation.
“What were you up to while I was in the bathroom?”
Caden’s eyes remained fixed on the magazine.
“Nothing, really.”
And that was actually the truth.
Noticing his apparent interest in the magazine, Alicia became suspicious and leaned over for a better look.
“What exactly are you reading?”
Caden answered instantly, “Just some financial news.”
Alicia flipped the page. Next to a black sports car stood a sexy female model dressed in revealing clothes.
Caden coughed awkwardly.
“Damn! Was that on the second page?”
How could he have known?
Alicia sat up with her arms crossed, her expression serious, like that of a strict judge.
“Is this what your financial news looks like?”
Caden found himself speechless.
Alicia, teasing him, said, “Her breasts are quite large. You must like that.”
For once, Caden was utterly at a loss for words. His entire distraction had been because of Alicia, and he had just been reading the magazine to go along with her.
Who could have anticipated it would turn out this way?
Caden threw the magazine into the drawer.
