Chapter 72: The Secret Rendezvous

There was one thing Caleb didn't know. 

He didn't know the reason why Alexandra had packed up everything and left that night. 

It was only a few days ago when she received a text right before she was about to go to sleep. She stared at her phone for a long time, her eyes fixed on that brightly lit screen in the dimly lit room. Beside her, Caleb noticed that she was silent, the lamp next to her casting light onto her shocked expression. Concerned, he leaned over to ask, "Is everything okay?" 

They locked eyes and she quickly shoved her phone under the blanket abruptly. She cleared her throat. "It's nothing," she replied suspiciously fast. The corners of her lips curled upwards into a small smile as he raised an eyebrow at her. She leaned over to plant a kiss on his lips, erasing any doubt that lingered at the back of his mind. "Go to sleep, good night babe."

A smile fell on his face. "Good night, my love."
