Chapter 1023:

Before getting into the car, Jimena picked up the red silk and put it in her medical bag. He thought about giving it to Casey next time. Maybe it could help ease Casey's homesickness.

At the time, Davey was in the studio.

One of his men informed him. "Sir, shall we bring our men back from Ardlens?" Now that Miss Foster is with the Clifford family, shall we send someone to examine the situation within the Clifford family…?”

«There is no need to send someone to the Clifford family. Just withdrawing our men from Ardlens temporarily,” Davey interrupted. "I don't want to strain my relationship with the Clifford family over this trivial matter."

Back then, when Davey found out about Katie's death, he immediately ordered Raegan to be killed. However, his first attempt failed. Since then, he had been looking for another opportunity. But unexpectedly, Raegan married into the Clifford family.

It wasn't about whether Davey could do anything against the Clifford family. It was about whether it was worth it.

The Clifford family was one of the leading families in Aurora. It wasn't worth starting a conflict with them. Raegan was the new daughter-in-law of the Clifford family, and they valued her very much.

Thus, Davey decided to suspend the assassination plans for the time being. He had to observe and study the situation thoroughly before making a move.

After talking to his man, Davey went to the basement to see Casey.

Casey was sitting up in bed, dazedly looking out the window at the perfectly manicured garden. She was so engrossed that she didn't notice Davey's presence.

Davey quietly approached her from behind and placed a blue diamond necklace around her neck.

The stones looked dazzling when the lights illuminated them. Obviously, such a jewel was of incalculable value.

Davey leaned down and gently kissed Casey's earlobe. Then he asked in a deep voice, "Do you like it?"

Casey felt the cool touch of the diamond on her skin, but she didn't even look at it. He wasn't interested.

Since he woke up, Davey had not stopped trying to win her over in various ways. Sumptuous gems, rare pearls and other valuable items.

He gave her gift after gift, and each one was more extravagant than the other. But after Casey took them off, she never put them back on.

Davey thought he didn't like them. So he kept offering her different things. But no matter how delicate, exquisite, and expensive they were, Casey remained indifferent.

This time, Davey's patience was wearing thin. He said in a much colder tone, “Why are you unhappy? Jimena said you needed more exercise. Let's go. I'll take you to the garden for a walk.

Davey held out his hand to Casey. However, she slapped her away. He looked at her sternly and his expression turned cold. He grabbed her chin with the intention of teaching her a lesson.

Casey looked at him without fear. Her beautiful eyes were moist and shiny. They shone brighter than the diamond he wore around his neck.

Davey found himself unable to continue his reprimand. He sighed softly and said, "Casey, you're the only person who can do this to me repeatedly."

He loosened his grip slightly and leaned in to kiss her. However, she turned her face to avoid him. Before he could say anything, she said with red eyes, “Davey, I'm not a bird you can cage. You always lock me here. "I don't want to live in this basement anymore."

Casey stood up and pointed outside. «That garden is very big and beautiful. But do you know how many steps you have to take to go through it?

Davey's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

“Eight hundred and thirty-six steps!” Casey yelled.

«You're asking me to go out for a walk. What am I supposed to enjoy there? Count the leaves on the trees? Do you realize how suffocating it is to stay in the same place every day?
