Blushing, Gemma turned toward Alicia, her steps deliberate as she tried to divert Caden’s attention. “Alicia, are
you happy today?”
“Yes,” Alicia replied warmly and pulled out a chair, motioning for Gemma to sit beside her. “Yes. But tell—

Gemma shook her head firmly. “No. He's just my bodyguard.”
Alicia’s lips curled into a teasing smile. “Don’t worry. | won't tell your brother.”

There was a moment of silence on the line, broken by the sound of a bottle shattering. Then, Talia’s sobs
followed. Concerned, Pierre steadied himself and went back inside to Gemma. “I need to step out for a while.
Stay with Mr. Ward until I return, and please, stay put,” he said firmly.
Gemma, noticing his serious tone, expressed her worry, “What's going on?”
