The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 298:

Regina added, “Even someone as headstrong as you would treat Yolanda with courtesy for our sake.

She’s very important to us.”

“Let’s be direct, Regina,” Caden pressed, his impatience showing.

Her expression softened.

“Alicia is resilient.

Dorian’s efforts to escalate this are futile.

We are reasonable people.

If Alicia apologizes to Yolanda, we can move past this.”

Caden nodded, understanding the expectation placed on him to mediate the situation.

The approach he chose could be stern or mild—his choice.

They were soon to return to Devarlton.

How the situation would unfold—whether amicably or disastrously—now rested on his actions.

Regina guessed correctly.

Dorian’s recent confrontation with Alicia had been brief but heated, and he left in a huff.

Upon reaching home, his uproar was so loud it woke Yolanda, who came to him in tears.

“Dad, please calm down,” Yolanda pleaded.

“I confronted her because I was curious about what Caden sees in her.

Yes, I was harsh, and I upset her.

I even mentioned that Caden and I planned to marry, which broke her heart.

Let me apologize to Ms.

Bennett.

This mess is my fault.”

Tears continued to fall from Yolanda’s eyes as she sought comfort in Regina’s embrace.

The core of this conflict hinged on Caden’s decisions.

Caden, his expression stoic, turned to Yolanda and asked, “Is there another reason Alicia struck you?” Yolanda, her eyes filled with tears, weakly protested, “Caden, how could I possibly retaliate?” Her complexion pale, she added, “Do you think I have the strength to fight back?”

Despite Yolanda’s emotional plea, Caden’s demeanor remained unchanged.

“Rest now.

I will take care of everything,” he said ambiguously, before leaving the room.

Regina comforted Yolanda, urging her to return to bed and rest.

Later, Regina found Dorian alone on the balcony, smoking.

She handed him a coat and gently cautioned, “You’re stressed enough; the cold isn’t helping.

Please, don’t be so stubborn.”

Dorian took her hand, offering a comforting pat.

“Did I frighten you?” he asked softly, his concern evident.

Dorian was typically even-tempered, except when it came to Yolanda.

His protective instincts for her were boundless.

With a warm smile, Regina reassured him, “As her father, it’s natural that you’re worried.

My concern is that this might cause a rift between you and Caden.”

Neither the Moss family nor Caden feared confrontation, but direct conflict was unnecessary and beneficial to no one.

Now more composed, Dorian rationalized, “That’s why I only requested an apology from Alicia and refrained from escalating the situation.”
