The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 326:

Alicia blinked slowly.

Her long lashes brushed against his eyebrows, tickling him.

“You’re good to me when we’re not in bed too, but that’s just to make sure we end up back there.”

Caden didn’t respond.

Was she right?

He found himself questioning everything silently.

Alicia laughed softly, clearly catching on.

“You’re not fooling anyone.”

“About to confess your love for me, are you, Caden?”

Caden’s body stiffened, visibly unsettled by her words.novelbin

He quickly shook it off and replied, “Don’t flatter yourself.

I’d never say something so ridiculous.”

He added, “Your lips were just soft.

I got caught up in the moment.”

Alicia’s expression turned cold as she looked at him.

She shoved him back firmly.

“Even if you confessed, I’d only see it as a way to get me into bed.

After all, Mr.

Ward, with your high-and-mighty attitude, I’m not foolish enough to believe you would ever fall in love with me.”

Hearing that, Caden stood up, wearing a blank expression.

He leaned against the car and lit a cigarette.

The bitter taste of the smoke always helped clear his mind.

Once his thoughts cleared, he regretted the harsh words he had thrown at her and wished he could take them back.

“Damn it! I meant to approach her with patience and finally tell her how I truly feel about her.

Why do I have to be so damn stubborn?” he screamed inwardly.

Caden, typically known for his resilience and determination, felt his self-assurance crumble in that moment.

He took a deep inhale from his cigarette, trying to steady himself.

Not being a habitual smoker, the intense puff of smoke overwhelmed him, causing him to cough violently.

Alicia finished getting ready and stood up.

Caden quickly put out his cigarette.

“How will you spend Christmas Eve alone here in Warrington?”

Alicia responded indifferently, “I have Lucky.”

Caden added, “You canceled on Grandma tonight, yet she still longs to see you.

Won’t you go visit her?”

“I know she bought my painting to reconcile with me, and I knew you’d be at Joy Mansion today.

That’s why I didn’t bring it myself,” Alicia said, her voice softening.

“Could you explain to her? It’s Christmas Eve, and maybe now isn’t the time for outsiders.”

Caden looked at her, his tone teasing.

“We’ve been intimate so many times.

How can you still consider yourself an outsider?”

A flicker of emotion crossed Alicia’s eyes.

“Caden, we’ve ended things.

Speaking to me like this is harassment.

I might even slap you,” she said sharply.

Caden was at a loss for words.
