The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 195

Chapter 195:

Caden smiled satisfied. His eyes shone with mockery, causing her pain. With all cards on the table and their discussion reaching a fever pitch, Alicia determinedly declared: There is no need to continue discussing this. This ends today.

Caden's expression stiffened for a moment. His face fell completely.

Are you sure about this, he asked in an impatient voice.

Alicia prepared herself. What to Consider You've said the same thing over and over again. What exactly do you expect me to say? You're thinking about letting me go.

Caden scoffed again. You know very well who has trouble letting me go, he replied, his patience diminished. Stop being so dramatic. I'm done.

Alicia remained just as resolute. I didn't ask you to enjoy my drama. You can proceed however you want with our agreement.

Realizing that Caden wasn't going to stick with it, she added nonchalantly, If you think this partnership has been a burden, let me know. I'll take care of it.

With those words, she grabbed her bag, opened the door and left.

She didn't make a scene, but when she left, the office was plunged into chaos. disturbing silence. He seemed almost lifeless.

Caden felt his anger rising uncontrollably. He was on the edge.

But he wasn't one to express his frustration with outbursts. Instead, he sat back down, trying to concentrate, and began going through the documents as usual.

A few moments later, Hank knocked on the door and entered the room with a bewildered expression.

Mr. Ward, what happened to Miss Bennett? He refused to let me get him a driver.

Caden's expression was still cold. Just ignore her.

Hank hesitated, sensing something was wrong. They had had a disagreement

The room felt heavier, and as darkness settled in, the rain began to fall.

Aware of Caden's mood, Hank dared to suggest: It's getting dark and it's starting to rain. Mr. Ward, perhaps you should take Miss Bennett home. What do you think?

Caden lost his temper. Why is she an adult? You think he can't find his way.

Hank, intimidated, felt too nervous to react. I apologize, Mr. Ward. It was out of character for me to suggest that.

Leave now.

Hank quickly closed the door behind him.

Caden had planned to work longer, but he found that he couldn't concentrate. He turned off the computer and decided to take the medical report to the Joy mansion.

Ciara was enjoying some music when he arrived. Caden didn't interrupt her, but instead put the medical report in front of her.

Ciara immediately sensed that something was wrong. What's up

Caden kept a neutral expression. Nothing. Just some work matters.

Seeing that he was reluctant to say more, Ciara didn't press any further. He began to glance at the report. Everything seemed to be in order for her.

Her only wish was for him to remain in good health.

When Ciara learned that Caden would be eating there, she asked the kitchen staff to prepare some dishes additional.

He turned around and saw that he had disappeared.

Finally, he found him on the terrace. Caden stood against the sky, a tall figure shrouded in the night, with faint trails of smoke swirling around him.

Ciara approached him. Why do you smoke? I thought you didn't smoke.

Caden crushed the cigarette under his foot, waving his hand to clear the smoke. Stay away from me when I smoke, he replied, avoiding her question.

Ciara watched him carefully. You don't usually do this...

Caden frowned. Stop worrying about me.

Ciara replied: If you don't want me to worry, then don't make it so obvious. Your feelings are written all over your face. I can't ignore it.

After stating her point of view, she smiled, somewhat pleased. That girl really gets to you, huh

Caden's expression became even colder. He turned and walked away, not wanting to remain in Ciara's presence any longer. Everything she did or said seemed to irritate him.

But no one irritated him as much as Alicia. Just thinking about her made him angry, although he didn't understand why.

She had feelings for him and refused to leave him, but she always resisted him. She was stubborn, determined, very stubborn. He fantasized about locking her up and forcing her to submit until she was too exhausted to argue.

It was late, after dinner, and he had no intention of going out. He decided to stay the night.

Ciara had a room ready for him, with everything he needed.

Let's see if you can sleep alone tonight, Ciara scoffed. You're not afraid of the dark, are you, my dear grandson?

Caden was momentarily speechless.

He replied dryly: I'm not afraid of the dark. It's the constant chatter that I can't stand. No talking after nine. It's irritating.

Ciara laughed softly and then hummed a tune as she left to tend to her flowers.

Caden settled down on the couch to watch TV. He was distracted, his mind wandering, he was barely paying attention to what was on the screen.

Then his phone, which he had carelessly thrown to the side, started to vibrate.

It was Gerry, who sounded excited. Come out here and have a drink, Caden!

Caden wasn't feeling it. I've stopped drinking.

Of course, Gerry replied, his voice full of amusement. I'm texting you the address. Come with us. It'll be fun.

The loud music playing in the background on Gerry's side was overwhelming.

Then a soft female voice was heard. Alice! Wait for me!

Caden wrinkled his brow.
