The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 183

Chapter 183:

Alicia decided not to lend money to Joshua. Furthermore, the evidence that Caden had mentioned would soon be made public. Joshua was facing public humiliation and the threat of losing everything.

That was exactly what he deserved.

Alicia stood in a quiet corner, collecting her thoughts. Caden looked at her, with a cold laugh. Are you scared or feel sorry for him.

Alicia came out of her thoughts. I would have gone this far if I felt sorry for him. I'm not crazy, right. She rolled her eyes, exasperated.

Although it seemed like the matter was calming down, Lilliana's sudden appearance worried Alicia. Over the past two years, Joshua had become deeply involved in the Green family. Lilliana, in love and pregnant with him, was unlikely to walk away from him easily.

Alicia's expression turned serious. This is going to be hard, a long road...

Caden, sensing his concern, responded: Now it's my thing. You don't have to worry. He reassured her, with a firm tone.

Alicia was not the only one who had complaints against Joshua. Caden also had unfinished business with him.

Alicia was momentarily surprised, but then she understood what he meant. Their mutual need for revenge no longer united them.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them felt charged, and their first instinct was to flee. Now that everything is settled, I think we should end this.

Caden stared at her.

She looked down. If it's any use, thank you.

Without saying a word, Caden gently cupped her chin in his hand, forcing her to look into his eyes.

Alicia's eyelashes fluttered.

He turned his face. Why are you squeezing me? It hurts.

Have I pressed too hard, Caden asked. What have you done to feel this guilty?

Alicia remained motionless, almost as if she wanted to imply something. I'm not guilty. Let go of me or they might see us.

Caden's eyes turned cold. I'm making you uncomfortable. Why are you so worried about being seen?

Alicia was momentarily stunned. It hasn't always been like this between us.

They had always kept their relationship a secret. Their agreement was coming to an end. They would separate cleanly, pretending nothing had ever happened.

It wasn't the best

Caden paused before slowly releasing her. That's how it is. She touched the new bite mark on her lip and said casually: What would I do if someone got the wrong idea? How I could get married.

Alicia was silent for a moment. He hesitated before answering: It won't last long. It was then that Caden realized the reason for her downcast expression.

He smiled satisfied. And now you've used Me, and now you want to leave Me.

Alicia felt a wave of discomfort. What do you mean? We agreed to follow the contract, right.

It's over, Caden declared lightly. So what's next?

Alicia's throat got tight. His tone was indifferent, his eyes shining with a mischievous glint. This wasn't affection; It was more like he was teasing a pet. He clarified his ideas.

There is no what now. We stuck to the plan.

Caden scoffed. You can really let him go so easily.

His heart sank. She nodded stiffly.

There are many other opportunities out there. Why hold on to what is not right

With those words, he took a deep breath and left without looking back.

Caden stayed where he was, with a smile tinged with contempt.< /p>

Alicia entered the hall and accidentally bumped into Monica.

Have you seen Joshua asked Monica, her voice full of emotion. His face was all marked with slaps, and he slipped away with Lilliana as if he were embarrassed. What a show! Who did that to her?

Alicia blinked, about to confess. However, Monica quickly added: It was Caden, right.

Alicia did not correct her. How did you guess?

Who else would have the courage to do something like that? Joshua is afraid of problems, but Lilliana is not. Even so, she was quiet just now. Who else in this room has so much influence besides Caden.

Alicia couldn't help but smile. He looked up and spotted Caden. Mr. Wade was leading him and Gerry into a room, with a group of people carrying snacks and drinks following them. Alicia looked away, lost in thought.

She leaned on Monica. Monica, I can stay at your house tonight. I'll cook for us, okay.

Monica noticed his tiredness. You look very tired. Don't worry about cooking. Let's go out to eat something delicious.

Alicia said: But I would like to cook for you.

Monica raised an eyebrow, surprised. You haven't always disliked cooking.

Alicia remained silent. I used to hate him because he had worried too much about pleasing Joshua, who was picky and preferred expensive foods. Their efforts were often wasted.

But in recent months, cooking for Caden had been different. He was easy to get along with and appreciated everything she did. He always cleaned his plate. She even began to feel like she was a good cook.

Let's go out to eat, Alicia said, trying to sound more cheerful. I have a lot to share with you.

When the art exhibition came to an end, most of the attendees had left. Alicia was ready to leave.

The door to the room where Caden and the others were having drinks was open. I could hear the lively chatter, including Gerry's enthusiastic voice.

Finally I have my chance! he shouted. Now, you have to go up and kiss whoever passes first, it doesn't matter who!

Upon hearing this, Alicia and Monica froze.
