The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 287:

Exhaling deeply, she retorted, “I sympathize with your situation, but I’m not the one who can assist you.

Perhaps you should consider contacting the authorities to look after you.”

Caden responded, “Then why not call them for the dog?”

“I am responsible for Cade.

I’m his owner,” Alicia said, before shifting the tone of the conversation.

She teased, “If you agree to be my pet, then, of course, I’ll look after you too.

Is that what you want?”

Caden fell silent, letting the argument drop.

“I don’t have time to care for the dog.

He can fend for himself.

If he doesn’t make it, I’ll just get another.”

His voice was cold and detached.

Alicia recognized that he was deliberately trying to provoke her.

She rolled her eyes in exasperation.

With the maid away for the holidays and no one else to turn to, she had reluctantly reached out to him.

“Alright, if you’re not willing to help, let’s leave it at that,” Alicia said briskly, ending the call.

Caden’s demeanor remained cold, void of warmth.

Their exchange hadn’t been overtly hostile, nor had it escalated into an argument.

Yet, there was something irksome about it, something that irritated him deeply.

Once again, Alicia had managed to provoke him profoundly.

After finishing his work for the day, Caden selected a robot and brought it home.

Once activated, this robot was not just programmed for household tasks.

Feeding the dog was only one of its many functions.novelbin

It was also equipped with dual cameras, allowing it to surveil the entire apartment continuously.

Caden initiated a video call to Alicia.

After she accepted, the camera displayed Cade happily wagging his tail while eating.

Interestingly, the robot even engaged in light conversation with Alicia.

She responded with a few casual remarks.

Caden was nearby, out of the camera’s view, so Alicia couldn’t see him.

He scoffed.

There she was, chatting with a robot, yet ignoring him as if he didn’t exist.

That evening, Alicia attended a charity event.

In the photographs circulating in the news, she looked absolutely stunning—poised and alluring.

She stood out like a brilliantly blooming rose.

Captivated by her elegance, Caden found it hard to look away.

How could anyone be so effortlessly beautiful?
