The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 166

Chapter 166:

Hank's mouth was open. Caden had really said that. He never imagined that Caden could be so blunt.

Alicia was equally surprised. He stared for a few seconds before stammering: Well….

At that moment, Caden lost his patience and left. Alicia ran after him. We have rooms! All types of rooms.

He didn't dare raise his voice with so many people around, staying close to Caden and almost colliding with him.

Once they left the airport, Caden stopped. Finally he slowed down, and Alicia almost collided with him. He frowned at the billboard and said, Keep that thing away from me.

Alicia sighed at his irritability. I just did this. It's new.

New doesn't always mean clean, he replied.

His comment left her speechless.

Noticing her rolling her eyes, He said to her: Why are you stalling? You wanted me to reserve a room, so guide me.

You don't recognize me, asked Alicia, with confusion in her eyes.

No, I don't know who you are. , Caden responded.

This left Alicia dumbfounded.

Who the hell are you kidding, Caden, she grumbled to herself.

She knew that if he didn't really know who she was, he wouldn't be committing to her at all.< /p>

But I didn't want to keep pretending; The cold was biting and she just wanted to go home. He removed his mask and exhaled deeply. It's me, Alice. Let's get in the car and talk.

Caden raised an eyebrow. The inn is only a ten minute walk away. Why do we need a car?

Once again, Alicia was silent.

She rubbed her cold hands and put them in her pockets, frowning at the biting cold.

Caden noticed her discomfort.

He turned to Hank, who stood nearby, eager to catch every word.

Get the car, he ordered. Caden.

Hank hesitated, he didn't want to miss nothing. I thought we were walking, he said.

Caden narrowed his eyes. If you prefer, I'll drive and you can walk back alone.

Realizing that he was pushing his luck, Hank remained silent and headed to look for the car.

Caden tried He offered his coat to Alicia, but before he could, she had already hurried away.

When she returned, she was carrying a bouquet of fresh, light green flowers.

The flowers looked vibrant and beautiful.

He approached Caden in a quiet corner and handed them to him with a smile. Welcome back, she said.

He was surprised by the sudden gesture and instinctively accepted the flowers. He remained silent for a few moments.

Are they for me, he asked.

Alicia looked around and realized that several people were already watching Caden.

< p>With her striking appearance, she attracted attention wherever she went.

Worried about being recognized, Alicia quickly put her mask back on. Let's continue this conversation in the car, he suggested.

Once inside the car, Caden set the flowers aside.

He turned to her, staring at her.

< p>Alicia rubbed her hands vigorously to protect herself from the cold, but the redness of her nose betrayed the persistent cold. He asked: So, you feel warm and comfortable now.

Caden sensed something was wrong.

He already had an idea of ​​what was going on.

A Despite that, he clung to a shred of hope.

He asked: This is the surprise you have prepared for me.

Alicia seemed completely innocent.

Yes "I've come to pick you up," he replied. He pointed to the bouquet of flowers. You don't like them.

Caden didn't know what to say.

He pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

Seeing his reaction, Alicia said: I I dressed like that to avoid being recognized.

Caden tried to hide his anger. You call surprise to pick me up.

Alicia stared at him, blinking in confusion.

You have everything but love. After working hard for days, wouldn't you want someone to welcome you home, he asked.

Again he was speechless.

He pursed his lips and replied: I've been dealing He has family problems, but that doesn't mean he's lonely or desperate for affection.

Alicia didn't know how to respond.

Caden realized that she might not understand his point of view. . He softened his tone and added: There's still time to plan a real surprise.

Alicia didn't see it that way, though.

She pointed to the flowers. I've already spent the money.

Caden looked and said: Hank, these flowers are yours.

Alicia couldn't believe it. Her jaw dropped in disbelief.

Caden is so infuriating! she thought.

She turned to look out the window, muttering under her breath: Well, forget about surprises.

Caden saw her out of the corner of his eye. From where I was sitting, I could see part of his face. He seemed so indifferent at that moment.

However, his distant attitude did not bother him; instead, he found her braided pigtails quite intriguing. He knew he hadn't done them for him.

Still, it was nice to look at them.

All the way, Alicia kept her hands in her pockets.

< p>He preferred to remain silent.

Caden did not try to talk to her; He immersed himself in his work.

He listened attentively, with his eyes fixed on the laptop screen. Suddenly, his expression darkened. He closed the laptop and put it aside.

Lost in his thoughts, he accidentally bumped into Alicia. She clicked her tongue in annoyance, her face showing clear impatience.

Caden was silent and just looked at her sternly.

Then he closed his eyes and indicated to Hank: Tomorrow In the morning, he fires the new project managers. Replace them.

Hank nodded. Understood, Mr. Ward.

Alicia looked away.

Before, she had heard everything that touched the laptop. He realized that the new product lacked innovation and would likely fail in the domestic market. He also knew that Caden was unhappy with the employees' revised plans, which explained his bad mood.

Domestic and international tastes are not the same. Here people respond more to emotional appeal. You should skip traditional methods and focus on attracting the younger generation, Alicia commented.

Caden replied: And how much money young people have.

They may not be rich, but they are If you lower prices and accept smaller profits, you can still be successful, she argued. It is called small profits, but quick profitability. You've forgotten how things work here after spending so many years abroad.

Caden stared at her, his expression unreadable.

Profits no longer mattered to him.

Leaning towards her, he said: You're trying to start an argument. With that attitude, you're just looking for problems.
