Caiden was somehow trapped by her tactful response.
“Yes... we will always be good friends, now and in the future!” He shouted suddenly.
He did not include “past” in his sentence, since as a matter of fact, he used to view her as his girlfriend.
“Let's go. It's late already. Let me send you back.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
They both had a pleasant time together, but little did they know that Keith had started planning a series of moves in the dark.
“Hello, Caiden. Long time no see! I miss you!” Lucius was excited to see Caiden as he ran right towards him when the latter appeared at his house.
“Really? How much do you miss me?” Caiden squatted down and gazed at Lucius in his eyes.
Right then, Lucius happily left a kiss on Caiden's chin.
“How could Mr. Caiden be so free to come here?” Delilah emerged out from nowhere, while her tone sounded clearly displeased.
Caiden understood that Delilah was supposedly still mad at the previous incident, but he did not mind.
“Ms. Young, I miss you so much that I come to visit you.” Caiden patted Lucius's forehead before he turned to hug Delilah.
“You little rascal, let go of me. Let me tell you this. If Mr. Owens were to create any more trouble, don't ever expect me to forgive you.”
Caiden could not seem to suppress the dull pain in his heart while listening to Delilah's
words. Indeed, all those mistakes started with me.
“Ms. Young, I am terribly sorry. It was all my fault. Please forgive me.” Caiden kept on shaking Delilah's arm in a spoiled manner.
It was somewhat peculiar that every time Caiden met Delilah, he acted like a son seeing his own mother. Perhaps this was a kind of fate that no one could explain.
“Caiden, is this how you treat your mother at home too?” Delilah responded faintly.
