The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 169

Chapter 169:

The room fell into a brief silence. Caden pursed his lips before answering: He really said that.

When I was with Ciara, I heard him subtly ask about your love life. He even mentioned waiting for Yolanda to finish her studies before bringing it up with you. As relatives of the bride, they would not be too deferential. That would only tarnish his image.

Caden seemed to consider it for a moment before falling silent again.

Blake wasn't opposed to the idea. Ciara thinks the same. You and Yolanda can discuss whether you want to have children or not. If things don't match, you can go your separate ways. Just remember what's most important.

It was Caden who had initially sought a deal with the Moss family. Being in a weaker negotiating position, he was forced to make some concessions.

Are you seeing someone? Blake asked, sensing Caden's hesitation.

Caden answered slowly: No.

Then it's okay. It's no sacrifice for you, Blake replied.

Caden hesitated a moment before saying: That's true. His tone was indifferent. Get some rest. I'm going to bed.

After finishing the call, Caden slowly closed his eyes, tapping the armrest of the couch, his eyebrows furrowed in thought. Why things had taken such a sudden turn

At nine in the morning, Alicia finally got out of bed. Caden was in the dining room talking on the phone, with breakfast already served on the table. Sore and weak, Alicia moved slowly, leaning on the table.

Caden held the phone in one hand and put his other arm around her.

Despite his caution, he Alicia's pain made her wince and, frustrated, she hit him.

Instead of pretending to be nice, why don't you castrate yourself, she murmured, her voice harsh and soft, without any hint of threat.

On the other end of the line, Ciara interrupted her chat, clearly taken aback. Brat, there's a woman there with you.

Caden stuffed a donut into Alicia's mouth. Yes, my personal assistant, he answered nonchalantly.

Alicia, with the donut in her mouth, glared at Caden. Caden, deep in thought, showed her the name on his phone. It was her grandmother.

Alicia froze.

Ciara's voice came through the phone again: It's not Hank your personal assistant.

It's my executive assistant, Caden corrected her.

I was under the impression that you didn't employ women on your staff, Ciara commented, curious.

The lies often needed more words to explain. be woven, and Caden looked at Alicia before responding with apathy: He insisted so much that I had to give in. Alicia was speechless.

Ciara was not convinced. I've seen women harass you before. Without your interest, he would dare to overdo it And what did he mean by 'castrate you' Why would he say that

Caden rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to hide his growing frustration. She's a little crazy. I'm going to let her go today.

Alicia, indignant, tried to kick her, but her leg was too weak. I couldn't even lift it. Instead, she accidentally kicked the chair leg with her pinky toe and nearly passed out from the pain.

Ciara sensed the strangeness of their interaction. Confidently, he said: You have a girlfriend.

Caden remained calm. If that were true, you'd be the first to know.

Ciara trusted her instincts and wasn't about to let the matter go. After finishing the call, he turned to the maid next to him. If she's just a secretary, why would Caden put up with Caden scolding her? He must be spoiling her.

The maid smiled and suggested: Why don't you ask Hank.

Ciara sat down. He mocked: They are too friends. Hank won't reveal the truth.

Determined, she said: Book me a plane ticket. I'm going to Warrington right now.

The maid helped her up. If Caden is really seeing someone, do you think he should marry her

Definitely, if he's fond of her, Ciara replied, her tone resolute.

And the Moss family, then, the maid inquired, reminding him. Yesterday they sent a representative. It won't be easy to fire them.

Ciara frowned. I don't like Yolanda. She's not right for Caden. I don't want this marriage, but from what Blake mentioned, Caden needs the support of the Moss family.

Caden was proud and stubborn. His only weak point was his late mother. Her determination often wavered when it came to anything related to her.

Ciara's gaze turned grim.

The maid sighed. It's hard to see Caden so determined. It really saddens me. Tears welled in Ciara's eyes as she spoke, deeply sympathizing with Caden's situation.

Before leaving, Caden put on his coat, and Alicia helped him choose a tie.

Ciara had asked him what his position would be if Yolanda wanted to marry him. He had responded indifferently. For him, marriage was nothing more than another negotiating instrument. As long as Yolanda felt like she wasn't losing out, she didn't care.

However, at that moment, standing in the small cloakroom and looking at Alicia, an impulse came over her.

Alicia , would you consider remarrying.

Alicia looked up, her eyes bright and soft, meeting his almost serene gaze.

No, she answered, with a firm voice.

p>

Caden expected this answer. Alicia showed little interest in the topic and did not elaborate. Instead, he gently patted her thigh.

With a worried expression, he asked: It's colder today. Your pants are thick enough. Maybe you should wear some long underwear.
