The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 180

Chapter 180:

Mr. Wade called Caden to inform him of the situation.

When Caden answered, Mr. Wade, carefully avoiding names, he simply said: It's done. When are you coming.

Caden replied in a flat tone: Tell him to wait. Without saying anything else, he ended the call.

At this time, Caden was sitting in the banquet hall. Four people were gathered around a table, including him. Alicia drank non-stop, finishing one drink after another, while Caden remained expressionless. Gerry and Monica, who had just met, talked non-stop.

Their chatter continued unabated, leaving Alicia unable to join in. Feeling distracted, she glanced at Caden from time to time. He wondered what time it was and how many drinks he had already consumed. Why hadn't they started talking about the important matters?

Impatiently, he kicked Caden under the table.

Caden looked up. What was that kick for, she asked.

Alicia's lips moved slightly. She thought to herself: I kicked you because I can't say it out loud. Why would you announce it like that

Just as she expected, Gerry leaned toward her. What's wrong with you now, he asked.

Alicia touched her nose. I had a cramp in my leg. "I couldn't help it," he said, trying to divert attention.

What a cramp, Caden said coldly. You ended up kicking me.

It's a condition where I aim unpredictably. How unlucky you are to be sitting there! Alice replied with a smile.

Gerry giggled, amused by her jokes.

Realizing that they were arguing again, he decided to liven things up. He nudged Caden and said, I don't believe that excuse. Let's change seats, Caden.

Caden looked at him, understanding Gerry's intention. Despite this, she got up and changed seats.

Alicia didn't dare approach the subject with Caden directly, so she turned to her phone and typed a message.

Joshua has arrived, he wrote.

Caden's phone vibrated on the table in front of him. Aware that it was from Alicia, she chose to ignore it and casually swirled the drink in her glass.

Frustrated by his indifference, Alicia gritted her teeth.

Determined to get a response, she sent another message.

The art exhibition is about to end. You're either going to take care of business today or not.

Caden noticed how aggressively he was typing. She looked as if she were going to pass through the screen.

She raised an eyebrow, but then closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

Alicia, exasperated, could no longer contain herself. She began bombarding him with a string of angry face emojis.

Caden's phone buzzed incessantly. With each vibration, he moved closer to the edge of the table. Gerry looked on, bewildered.

Caden, someone is trying to contact you. You're not going to answer, he asked.

Caden remained motionless. Don't bother. That phone is cursed.

How do you say, replied Gerry, bewildered. How can a phone be cursed?

As Alicia continued to flood him with angry emojis, he suddenly realized how childish he was being. She turned off the screen, frustrated.

Unable to contain herself, she kicked Caden under the table again, this time harder.

The sound was loud enough for him to The two people next to him heard it, but neither of them said a word.

Caden opened his eyes and looked at her. What's wrong with you now? Another sudden tremor in your leg

Alicia coldly replied: Yes. It seems like my leg acts up every time I'm around hateful people.

Without saying anything, Caden stands up. He got up and walked away from the table.

A few moments later, his phone buzzed with a new message.

See you outside, Caden's message said.

Alicia bit into the straw, gritting her teeth with frustration. He stubbornly refused to answer, debating whether he should leave.

Seconds later, another message appeared: You have two minutes. It's your last chance.

She stared at the screen, momentarily speechless. Letting out a sigh, he pushed his chair away and headed toward the door to the private room.

Caden leaned against the wall, looking at his watch. You really can't stand losing, can you? You showed up at exactly one minute and fifty-nine seconds.

Alicia skipped the pleasantries and leaned toward him, whispering: Where is Joshua.

Mr. Wade is waiting for my word, Caden responded.

Alicia understood the seriousness of the situation. The outcome depended entirely on his actions.

He clenched his fists, frustration bubbling inside him.

Our agreement clearly states that you cannot threaten me, he said, his voice firm.

p>

Caden calmly replied: If that agreement means so much to you, why do you stay trapped in this endless loop with me.

This time, Alicia was speechless. Not wanting him to read her thoughts, she turned away, feeling the flush of shame creep up her neck.

I never agreed with the marriage my family arranged, Caden continued.< /p>

Alicia remained silent.

Impatient with her silence, Caden added: Give me a quick kiss and we'll go. Come here.

Alicia looked at him with a frown. Now is really the time for that.

Caden didn't answer. Instead, he just looked at her with a stern expression.

With a sigh, Alicia walked over, wrapped her arms around his neck, and bit his lip.

Caden took a breath. deep, but just as he was about to pull her closer, his phone rang. It was Mr. Wade, calling to discuss an urgent matter.

Caden decided to postpone dealing with her for the moment and focused on business first.

They left the room through separated, Caden leading the way and Alicia following close behind.

Meanwhile, in another room, Joshua was growing impatient.

He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his expression grim. . Mr. Wade, if you have no intention of lending me the money, say so clearly. There's no need to play with me, Joshua said.

Mr Wade felt cold sweat forming on the palms of his hands. He relied on Caden's support, but with Caden still absent, he began to worry that Caden might be playing him. He knew that offending Joshua could lead to serious consequences.

Just as Joshua was about to leave, the door suddenly opened.

Joshua looked up, frozen in place.

Standing in the doorway were Caden and Alicia, side by side, making a surprisingly handsome couple. The sight was so dazzling that it was like a direct blow to Joshua's senses. The anger he had been suppressing surged forth instantly. He let out a bitter laugh.

What is this supposed to mean? You plan to make your relationship with my ex-wife public.
