The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 165

Chapter 165:

Monica blinked curiously, her expression showing clear confusion. Alicia, how come you don't seem worried at all.

Alicia responded without hesitation: What's there to worry about?

You mentioned that Joshua always finds a way. I've been thinking about it and you're right. He always seems to be one step ahead, and probably has some backup plan. That means that everything we have done so far will come to nothing.

Alicia smiled. But I've almost gathered all the evidence I need. Even if you make them public, it won't change anything. I'll still make him fall.

Seeing how calm and collected Alicia was, Monica felt her own anxiety calm down.

Unable to resist, Monica complimented her. You've changed a lot lately. You are much more composed and firm.

Alicia felt a little nervous, with a hint of shyness. "Is it because of him?" Monica asked curiously.

Alicia felt surprised. He immediately knew who Monica was referring to. She parted her lips, ready to explain, but the words seemed tangled in her thoughts.

How she was going to introduce Caden

Their relationship was strictly contractual. As soon as Joshua fell, their relationship would end. Maybe, Alicia responded, with palpable uncertainty.

Lately she had found calm.

Caden was undoubtedly the reason for this new sense of security.

The evidence he had gathered seemed trivial in the face of the influence of those formidable players. If Joshua decided to escalate the situation, she could be in serious trouble. However, with Caden as her strong support, the situation felt completely transformed.

Monica smiled at him, deciding not to investigate further. As long as Alicia was happy, nothing else really mattered.

On the day Caden had to return, he contacted Alicia in advance.

Are you available tonight, he sent her a message.

Alicia, who had just finished her class, began to gather her belongings and replied: Of course.

Caden replied: I will land tonight at eight. Be at the apartment when it arrives.

Alicia stared at the screen for a moment, took a deep breath, and turned off the phone.

She thought the music teacher sitting next to her might He looked at the screen, but fortunately, he was too engrossed in the conversation to notice anything strange. Alicia responded here and there, although her thoughts were already elsewhere.

Caden had been out of town for several days on a business trip. The time apart had gone on long enough for her to be sure she was in for a sleepless night.

When they reached the school gate, the music teacher greeted Alicia enthusiastically. Goodbye, Miss Bennett. I have to pick up a birthday present for my husband.

Alicia smiled and waved back.

A thought crossed her mind: she should be planning something for Caden too. He had supported her so much. many ways since they started working together. Cooking was starting to seem repetitive, and she couldn't contribute much to her work. She bit her lip, her thoughts wandering.

She struggled to think of something Caden could truly appreciate. After what seemed like an eternity, an idea finally occurred to him, and his face lit up.

This is perfect!

Once Caden got off the plane, he looked at his phone. .

There was an unread message from Alice: I have planned something special for you.

His imagination began to wander, wondering what she was up to. I had told him clearly before to wait in the apartment. Now he mentioned a surprise.

What else could it mean?

His thoughts spiraled, leading to vivid assumptions about what might be waiting for him. He imagined Alicia stepping out of his usual comfort zone, dressed in something he always admired, her delicate figure enhancing the charm in his mind... A wave of expectation hit him, catching him off guard. With the hustle and bustle of the airport around him, he had to restrain himself from giving anything away. He smoothed his raincoat, hiding his thoughts, and called Hank: Bring me a bottle of water.

With the suitcase in hand, he sent a message to Alicia: I just landed. Where are you

His response was almost immediate: Exit A.

Caden raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised. You are so far ahead, he responded, half incredulous. Her mind was already overflowing with tantalizing visions.

Meanwhile, standing at the exit, Alicia looked at her message with a confused face, unsure of what she expected. Although I had planned a surprise, it wasn't anything particularly daring.

Come quickly. It's very cold out here, Alicia wrote, waiting impatiently.

Caden put his phone in his pocket and started heading towards the exit. When Hank returned with the water, he stood confused, looking around. Where Caden Had Disappeared Outside, the area was crowded, full of people coming and going, creating a constant hum of activity. Caden's eyes scanned the crowd, but Alicia was nowhere to be seen among the sea of ​​faces. Despite the crowd, Caden's tall stature and imposing presence made him easily stand out.

Alicia saw him almost immediately. He ran up, shouting: Lord!

When he heard his voice, his heart gave a sudden jolt. He turned to her and saw her approaching. She wore two neat braids, a long black cotton coat, and her face was partially hidden behind a mask. With playful energy, he raised a cardboard sign in the air.

Sir, are you looking for accommodation, he asked with a smile under his mask.

Our cozy family-run inn is just a ten-minute walk away. foot from here. For just five hundred dollars a night, you can enjoy everything included, like relaxing massages and even a game room.

Caden stood there, speechless.

He stared into each other's eyes. of her, those bright eyes that shone behind the mask, holding her gaze much longer than she intended as she tried to process what was happening.

This was her big surprise.

A role playing game His big idea for a surprise was...a role-playing game.

What the hell...role-playing game

Caden's anticipation quickly faded.

Just as He opened his mouth to say something, and Hank appeared, running. Mr. Ward.

Hank looked at Alicia but didn't recognize her, mistaking her for someone trying to advertise. He dismissed her politely. We are not interested. We're not interested.

Alicia stood firm, undaunted. Two people get fifty percent off!

Hank froze, clearly surprised.

Hank's eyes locked with Alice's for a brief second, and then he fell. in the account.

Without wasting a second, he looked at Caden and then took a wise step back, taking the suitcase from his hands.

Caden remained motionless, looking at Alicia with an expression expressionless. They have romantic themed rooms. I'll book one of those.

Alicia blinked, momentarily dazed, unable to find the words.
