NovelEnglishChapter 429: The driver straightened immediately.
"Not at all, Mr.
Ward.
My apologies." Alicia smiled, still amused.
Was she overthinking it? Could Caden really be jealous over something so trivial? Suddenly, Caden expressed a craving for pies and suggested they stop at a restaurant, but Alicia had a better idea.
"How about a family cooking night at Joy Mansion? We can make pies with Grandma and Jasmine.
It'll be fun." Making pies wouldn't be too much trouble, especially with everyone pitching in.
They could each make a few, and soon enough, the kitchen would be filled with laughter and delicious aromas.
The idea of a lively family evening tempted Caden, and he agreed.
They headed to the supermarket to pick up ingredients, and Caden loaded the cart with anything that caught his eye.

"Don't you think that's a bit much? We're just making a few pies." Caden glanced at her as he added more items to the cart.
"We'll be staying at Joy Mansion for a few days." Alicia paused, looking thoughtful.
"Do you want to go?" he asked, watching her reaction.
She shrugged.
It didn't matter much to her where they stayed.
"Sure," she replied, smiling.
"Besides, your grandma got snew pets recently.
I'd love to see them." Caden smiled.
"A pair of birds arrived today.
They're quite remarkable, raised with special care by one of her friends.
They're intelligent and can sing.
Grandma's very fond of them and specifically askedto bring you by to see them.” Alicia's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Then I absolutely have to meet them!" Caden chuckled, amused.
"She treasures them so much that she barely lets anyone touch them.
But don't be disappointed; I have something special for you to play with." Distracted by the items on the shelf, Alicia didn't catch his meaning right away.
"When did you start keeping something 'special'?" "Oh, since birth.
I've had it for twenty-six years now.
It can't sing, but it's smart enough to do tricks — it can change its size and texture. Amazing, isn't it? Plus, you can control it anytime," Caden replied, his eyes twinkling. Realizing his meaning, Alicia instantly blushed and swatted him with a green onion.
At the checkout, she noticed him glancing at the condoms displayed nearby.
He looked at them for a moment but didn't pick any up.
She remembered there weren't any at Joy Mansion and figured he wouldn't want to be without them.

That wouldn't do.
With a small, reproachful smile, she casually added a box to their purchases.
Caden's gaze shifted to her, a slight smirk on his face.
With people milling around, he held back any comment until they reached the parking lot.
Then, he finally leaned in and teased, "So, you prefer this kind? Why didn't you say so sooner?" Alicia sensed that Caden's words weren't just about the condoms.
She glanced at him, raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean by 'this kind'?" Caden picked up the box and held it up with a small grin.
"Ribbed." Alicia's cheeks flushed as she quickly snatched the box back.
"I didn't look that closely - I just grabbed it!" Caden smirked, unconvinced.
"It's no big deal.
Everyone has preferences.
Besides, I've brought up much kinkier things before, and you've gone along with them.
