Chapter 642
Chapter 642: Regina, this is Yolandas only wish.
I have to make it happen for her.
Reginas expression wavered.novelbin
She recalled her recent encounter with Alicia and the family photo that had left an indelible mark on her mind.
It had driven her to dig deeper into Alicias background, only to discover that Alicia, too, had been born in Warringtons most prestigious maternity hospital.
A sudden wave of sadness swept over her.
Have you thought about what will happen to Alicia? Dorians response was quick and dismissive.
Why should I care about anyone else? Regina narrowed her eyes, frustration rising.
Alicia lost her parents young and grew up alone.
Shes already had enough struggles she even fell out with the Yates family.
Without Caden, anyone could have taken advantage of her.
And now, youre forcing Caden and Yolanda together.
But what about Alicia? She and Caden truly love each other.
Forcing them apart is cruel its worse than death.
Dorians gaze shifted, a flicker of doubt crossing his face before he masked it.
Alicia is smart, resilient.
Yolanda could never match her in that regard.
Im confident shell move on after Caden is gone.
Reginas heart sank at his unyielding tone.
She shook her head slowly, feeling a numbness seep through her.
I need some air, she said, rising from her chair.
You rest.
Regina walked to the living room, her mind heavy with turmoil.
She stood before the liquor cabinet, staring at the bottles as if they might offer solace.
But she knew she couldnt give in she was allergic to alcohol.
The family photo haunted her thoughts.
Alicia, eyes shut as an infant, had looked strikingly like Yolanda at birth.
The resemblance was uncanny, and it twisted something deep inside her.
Tears pricked her eyes as the memory clawed at her heart.
After returning home, Caden lay down on the sofa to take a nap.
His dreams were vivid, and Alicia was at the center, but not as her usual composed self.
This Alicia was bold and passionate, holding onto him with unrestrained fervor.
He felt as if his body was aflame.
The sudden chime of the doorbell jolted him back to reality.
He opened his eyes, disoriented, and found himself sprawled on the sofa, fists unclenched and his skin damp with cold sweat.
Wheres Caden? a familiar voice called from the doorway.
Caden turned his head and saw Gerry standing there.
Alicia had opened the door and now pointed in his direction.
Hes right here.
Caden took a deep breath to steady himself, grabbing a cushion to subtly cover his embarrassment.
