The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 153

Chapter 153:

Idiot!

Caden wasn't sure if she was angry at his rudeness or that he used her nickname for him. puppy. Either way, her voice sounded strangely sweet.

The water splashed more violently in the bathtub.

Alicia's sense of shame had completely disappeared. Her emotions took over, and her body shook as soft sobs escaped her.

Caden enjoyed those moments. Watching her cry made her seem helpless as she clung to him tightly, desperate for any sense of stability.

It gave her the satisfaction of knowing that he was the only one she could trust.

< p>The puppy noticed Alice's tears and sensed that something was not right. He stopped his playful movements, tilting his head in confusion as he watched her.

From time to time, Alicia caught his innocent, curious gaze.

Her face turned red and she cursed Caden in her voice. His voice was low.

Caden freed one hand and gestured for the puppy to come closer.

Though he had only been in his new home for a week, the puppy was surprisingly obedient. It snuggled into his fingers.

Caden gently covered his eyes. Mom is a little shy. Don't stare at her.

After that day, everything went smoothly. Alicia's skills were undeniable and, with Caden's support, everything went smoothly.

In her free time, she often brought gifts when she visited Harley in the hospital.

Harley's recovery after the operation was going well, and Alicia spared no expense. She made sure Harley received the best care, from living conditions to medication.

Gina would stop by from time to time, feeling guilty every time she saw the cabinets full of supplements.

< p>I haven't contributed much. You shouldn't spend all this, Gina said.

Alicia also felt a pang of guilt.

Were you thinking about leaving him before agreeing to help me, she asked.

Gina He laughed at the idea. No, I've always been Lilliana's punching bag. He made it clear to me that if I left, I would never find another job as an assistant. With Harley's medical bills piling up, I couldn't afford to give up a job like that.

When Alicia heard the term punching bag and thought about Lilliana's attitude, she realized that Gina must have endured a lot. .

Alicia felt a pang of sympathy for her.

When Harley is discharged, you won't have to work so much anymore, Alicia told her quietly. When this is all over, the Green family won't bother you and you can find a job that makes you truly happy.

Gina looked at her with a hint of envy.

Alicia felt sorry for her. .

It was clear that Alicia's life was in a much better place now.

Miss Bennett, my situation is not your responsibility. You don't need to feel sorry for me. I help her because I want to. Plus, you saved Harley's life. "Everything I've done for you is nothing compared to that," Gina said with a soft smile.

Alicia felt a lump form in her throat as emotion welled up inside her.

p>

Thank you, Alicia said quietly. She then offered more comforting words that seemed to ease Gina's heart.

I understand, Mrs. Bennett, Gina responded with a warm smile. It was then that he noticed the shopping bag next to Alicia.

He was able to recognize the logo.

It was from a home goods store that he visited frequently to buy Lilliana's personal belongings.

A tag hung from the bag, revealing that it contained a triple XL size men's pajamas.

Gina smiled knowingly. Miss Bennett, you should go home. Don't keep your family waiting.

Alicia followed his gaze to the bag and quickly turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.

She hadn't bought the pajamas specifically for Caden. He had casually mentioned that he needed new ones last time, so she grabbed a pair while he was shopping for other things today.

Alright, I'm leaving now. Take care.

I will, Gina responded.

In order not to attract attention, Gina did not accompany her. Alicia hadn't gotten very far when she passed Joshua and Lilliana.

Lilliana was wearing sunglasses and looked irritated. On the other hand, Joshua had a blank expression and hostility was reflected in his eyes.

Joshua stopped abruptly when he saw Alicia. Even behind her sunglasses, Lilliana's resentment was evident.

Too much had happened between them lately.

Lilliana couldn't contain her temper and said, Joshua, what a coincidence . In fact, we met your ex-wife at the hospital.

Joshua didn't seem fazed.

You said it yourself. She's my ex-wife. It doesn't mean anything to me anymore.

He squeezed Lilliana's hand tightly. Let's go.

Alicia kept her mouth closed. She couldn't wait to get away from them.

But Lilliana wasn't finished. He leaned over and hissed: Alice, you are an orphan. So you're not here visiting family. You're the one who's dying of cancer

Alicia's gaze drifted to Lilliana's swollen belly.

Alicia calmly responded: You're pregnant. Try to be kind, if not for yourself, then for your baby.

Lilliana caressed her belly and took a step closer.

Alicia looked at her.

She Lilliana's cocky attitude perfectly mirrored Joshua's. “I underestimated you, Alicia,” Lilliana stated. Who would have thought that you would end up with Caden.

With the Yates family facing problems, the Green family had been dragged into the mess. Now he was under investigation for reasons they couldn't explain.

Everything was spiraling into chaos.

Lilliana knew that it was Alicia who had incited Caden to act, and that The thought made him want to destroy Alicia.

Alicia was nothing more than a discarded woman. How she had managed to involve Caden

Alicia maintained her composure. I'm much more capable than you think.

Lilliana mocked. Seriously, that's hilarious. A woman who uses her body to climb the ladder really thinks she is something special. He covered his mouth, laughing mockingly.
