But after a few steps, Caden stopped abruptly when he saw Alicia waving to someone, her back to him.

He was momentarily stunned.

Looking beyond Alicia’s silhouette, he tried to see who she was greeting.

Blake was approaching, suitcase in tow, a broad smile on his face.

Alicia didn’t move to greet him; she remained standing, her hands still in her pockets.

Caden couldn’t see her face, but he sensed she was smiling.

They were close.

Although Alicia was unaware of Caden’s presence, Blake saw him.

But Blake’s attention was focused on Alicia, oblivious to his surroundings.

His behaviour remained cautious.

When he reached Alicia, they kept a polite distance as they spoke.

Caden stood watching them intently, his dark eyes fixed on both of them.

His heart felt trapped in sin, suffocating him, choking him, making him feel suffocated.

They had quarrelled and not spoken for several days.

Now to see her cheerfully greeting another man filled Caden with such rage that he could only manage a bitter sneer, his lips curving into a menacing smile.

Gerry stood by, taken aback.

He watched Caden for a moment and said, “Caden, this has got to be a misunderstanding, right?”

Caden’s grip on the handle of the case tightened, his knuckles turning white.

Amidst the noise and laughter around him, a chilling aura surrounded Caden, his voice cold.

“Let’s go.” With that, he walked away without looking back.

Gerry called and hurried to catch up, “Why didn’t you say hello to Alicia? What if it’s all a big misunderstanding? ”

Alicia suddenly turned and scanned the crowded area.

A familiar figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Her heart fluttered as she looked around intently, but she couldn’t make him out.

Was it Caden?

It seemed to be.

But how could he have vanished so quickly?

Determined, Alicia searched for some time until Blake asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Alicia snapped back to the present and laughed.

“Nobody.” It must have been her imagination.
