The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 191

Chapter 191:

The Moss family, while not extravagant, wielded considerable influence, a fact of which Caden was well aware. The Ward family was in the lead, and the Moss family was not far behind. Furthermore, the oldest members of both families had shared a strong friendship for many years.

Since Caden had initially sought their help, the Moss family's proposal could not be easily rejected without causing offense. Rejecting her would be seen as a slight.

Breaking the silence, Ciara asked: You are aware that Yolanda has had feelings for you since she was young, right.

Caden responded nonchalantly: No. .

Well, now you are, Ciara added.

That's not particularly good news, Caden replied dryly.

Ciara agreed. He had never liked Yolanda, finding her moody and high maintenance. Although Yolanda was certainly intelligent, she was also delicate and excessively pampered by her father, Dorian, who indulged her every whim. If Yolanda joined the Ward family, Ciara knew what the result would be: she would have to be treated like royalty.

Ciara sighed. In any case, I would prefer a cheerful and optimistic granddaughter-in-law.

Caden replied: I see marriage as a business.

This irritated Ciara slightly, but then she remembered the long illness that had left her. had affected for years. He held back his frustration. You have no feelings for the woman you're currently dating.

Caden looked down, his expression unreadable. If he had any feelings for her, he would have introduced her to you by now.

He hadn't brought her, which meant, in Caden's eyes, that he had no feelings for her. Ciara's heart sank.

Do what you think is best, she said softly. Yolanda likes you, and you need her support. Maybe you'll come to have feelings for her after you get married.

Caden didn't feel anything. He looked at the plan with the same indifference he had toward his routine work.

You're right. If you're eager to have a great-grandchild, I could have her undergo IVF to have a child, Caden suggested, trying to reassure Ciara.

Ciara shook her head. Yolanda's health is not very good. We should talk about it later.

Although I longed to have a great-grandson, I did not want to threaten Yolanda's well-being.

After a while, Ciara asked: Does this mean that you have accepted the proposal? of the Moss family.

Caden did not give a direct answer. I'll pick up Yolanda in a few days.

Ciara felt a pang in her heart.

She sighed. You always set the bar high.

Caden laughed lightly. High levels Or I'm just exploiting the situation

Ciara noticed that her smile didn't reach her eyes. In his mid-twenties, Caden was used to making bold decisions that were decisive for his ambitions. But at that moment, Ciara saw a flash of hesitation.

It could be that he had feelings for the woman he was seeing. Maybe he did, but he hadn't recognized them yet.

Ciara decided act, bearing in mind that he was already in Warrington and wanted to make the most of his visit. After dinner, Caden stayed briefly before leaving.

As the maid cleared away the dishes, she sighed and commented, Mr. Ward barely ate anything.

This distressed Ciara, who she scolded herself. I won't bring it up again.

Caden then returned to his company and spent hours reviewing the details of a project.

Leaders in any field often seemed to have a natural talent, and Dorian's abilities were remarkable: he was a true talent, irreplaceable.

Caden briefly closed his eyes, thoughtful.

When he returned to the apartment, Alicia had already fallen asleep of tiredness. However, his sleep was not deep. As soon as he got into bed, she rolled over and snuggled into his arms.

Caden murmured sleepily.

Caden whispered, Yes.

< p>In the dim light, he noticed the slight shadows under his eyes. Lately, he had been pushing himself hard, treating his body like a machine and working tirelessly.

What do you need? Caden asked softly. You're missing something

Alicia's eyes remained closed.

I need a lot, she murmured softly, but she left it vague.

There was silence between them. .

Caden, who no longer felt like talking, settled down to sleep. Alicia had her back pressed against his chest, skin in contact. He heard the soft growl of his stomach.

He barely opened his eyes. After a moment, he asked: Have you skipped dinner?

Caden hadn't been hungry before, but his question made him realize his hunger.

It was late, and he didn't He wanted to bother her, so he said casually: Let's go to sleep.

Alicia, however, was still alert. Her stomach growled again, louder this time.

She nudged him with her hip. Then move a little. Your stomach is making too much noise.

Caden stayed still. Instead, he playfully slid his hand under her pajamas.

I can't help it, he joked. Maybe we could find another way to distract you if he's bothering you.

Alicia shuddered at the thought of his energy. She tried to push him away, but he insisted.

Her cheeks turned red.

I'll make you something to eat, she said, pushing his hand away. Then we can sleep. Okay

Her voice softened without her meaning to.

Caden's throat worked visibly, his eyes darkening with desire.

Now it's not just me It is the stomach that is hungry, he said.

Hoarsely, Caden murmured: I feel hungry here too.

His hand wandered south.

The Alicia's cheeks turned red with heat as she ran towards the kitchen, feeling completely overwhelmed.
