The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 117

Chapter 117:

Lilliana pushed Joshua away. Joshua, I'm serious!

Joshua touched her belly, with tenderness in his eyes. Me too. In just a month, we will feel the baby move. This is the first time I have been a father and I value our life together. Lilliana, you have to trust me. I have never cheated on you. You are the only person I have ever loved. You understand

Lilliana's tears had exhausted her, leaving her eyes empty. His mention that the baby would be moving soon hit her deeply. As a mother, she wanted to provide her baby with a happy and complete family.

Therefore, her heart began to soften.

Joshua... She felt moved, and her doubts began to fade away. With tears still in her eyes, she said, Joshua, promise me you won't let me down.

Joshua was relieved to hear her response. He gently ran his hand down her back. I promise you. I won't be going to the office for the next few days. I will be here with you at all times. That's fine with you

Lilliana nodded her head.

Once Joshua got Lilliana to sleep, his kind expression faded.

Meanwhile, Alicia He opened the bag Caden had given him. Inside, he found several types of underwear. Some were disposable and some were soft cotton. The designs were simple, nothing extravagant, but well made.

Alicia put on the cotton ones, and a strange feeling took over her. She touched her cheek and noticed that she was blushing. She looked out the window, and the view of the autumn landscape dragged her thoughts elsewhere.

Before she knew it, sleep took hold of her again.

When Alice woke up, she felt that someone hugged her. Whoever it was, his smell was familiar.

Still half asleep, she instinctively pushed the person away. We are in a hospital. Don't be so reckless... Wait.

Suddenly, he felt something unusually soft on his hand. She opened her eyes with a start and realized that she was clutching a soft breast, probably a C cup. Startled, she opened her eyes wide and looked up. Monica

Alicia turned around, trying to recover from the embarrassment. When have you arrived

Monica narrowed her eyes and leaned towards her. Who exactly did you think it was.

Alicia was speechless.

She had been comforted by the smell, thinking it belonged to Caden.

I… Alicia He turned his head, avoiding Monica's gaze. To nobody. I was just having a wet dream.

Monica didn't seem convinced.

Of course, because I've had wet dreams too, she said sarcastically. You looked too guilty for it to be just a wet dream.

Monica's expression hardened. Who is that mysterious man you are hiding?

Alicia replied softly: It's definitely not Joshua. You can be sure of that.

You slept with that man, Monica insisted.

Alicia moaned and closed her eyes. Suddenly, my head is killing me.

Monica stared at her, exasperated.

Frustrated, Monica lightly slapped Alicia's butt.

Monica then looked at her seriously. You're really happy with him.

Alicia stopped for a moment to reflect.

In a way, yes. Especially when it came to sex.

Caden had a tact that was hard to forget.

Yeah, I guess, he murmured.

He had come to her rescue more than once.

And even if his intentions weren't entirely selfless, it didn't change the fact that he had helped her a lot.

Seeing that Alicia seemed happy, Monica decided to let it go. .

So how long do you plan to keep pretending with Joshua.

Alicia sighed. At first, he planned to gather more solid evidence through the Gray family, but it turned out to be much more difficult than he expected. It had barely started, and now I'm stuck here in the hospital, she said solemnly.

Monica looked at her worried. For now, avoid anything too dangerous. Try to find other evidence.

I've already hired someone to look for evidence of Joshua's affair with Lilliana during our marriage. Maybe that's enough, Alicia answered.

Joshua is a cunning man, Monica warned. And even if she gets all the evidence she needs, what will happen next? Have you thought about how you will face the retaliation of the Yates and Green families.

Alicia had once been fearless, feeling invincible because nothing had happened to her before. But now, with her injuries, she realized how dangerous these people were.

Monica knew they had to plan carefully.

Alicia clenched her fists, determination etched in her heart. in her eyes.

The image of Caden appeared in her thoughts.

Facing the two powerful families alone would be impossible, but with a strong ally, she had a chance to change the outcome. .

Once Monica made sure that Alicia She was fine, she slipped out of the hospital, avoiding any trouble with the nurses.

Shortly after Monica left, Hank entered the room, carrying a basket of fruits and flowers.

Mrs. Bennett, are you okay, he asked.

Alicia accepted the gifts with a polite smile. They're just some small wounds. Thank you.

I'm terrible at choosing gifts and I wasn't sure what he would like. Mr. Ward chose the fruit basket and the flowers, Hank said, glancing around the room. He relaxed when he saw that there was only one nurse in the single-person ward. It's getting late. Now I'm leaving. May you rest.

Alicia nodded. OK. Take care on the way back.

Once Hank left, she looked at the luxurious fruit basket, feeling confused.

Since when had she gotten so close to Hank

As soon as Hank left the hospital, he sent Caden a message. Mr. Yates did not spend the night in the hospital.
