The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 215

Chapter 215:

Alicia remembered the excitement she felt when she bought the scarf, her heart fluttering with excitement and expectation. But life was unpredictable. That same day, he had a heated argument with Caden.

He tried to console himself. After all, it was just a scarf. He had already given it to Caden; It was his to do with whatever he wanted. However, he couldn't get rid of the image of him giving her to Yolanda. Perhaps he had thrown it away carelessly, mocking Alicia in her presence.

Although Yolanda knew nothing of the meaning of the handkerchief, the way Alicia looked at it said it all. Alicia couldn't take her eyes off, and upon noticing it, Yolanda smiled and asked: Oh, you also admire this scarf, Miss Bennett.

Alicia calmly dried her hands and answered with an indifferent expression: The truth is that No. Men's scarves are not my style.

It seems fair to me, Yolanda responded softly. But it's not just about scarves. Everything must fit well. Forcing things just because you want them only wastes time and effort.

Alicia immediately grasped the underlying message. Staring at Yolanda, he replied firmly: You may be exaggerating. I assure you that I have no interest in anything that belongs to you.

Yolanda laughed softly. What are you implying, Miss Bennett I must admit that I am a little lost.

Alicia smiled weakly, recognizing Yolanda's ability to pretend. Clearly, Yolanda excelled at the art of keeping up appearances.

Not wanting to keep Caden waiting any longer, Yolanda elegantly pulled a business card from her purse and offered it to Alicia. At dinner, Caden mentioned that you had designed a new product for his company, he said, maintaining his serene smile. I work with him. If there are any problems with the products in the future, I would appreciate your guidance, Mrs. Bennett.

Alicia looked down and accepted the card.

The name on the card read Yolanda Moss, a high-level chip development engineer who had been specially invited by Blizzard Group.

Alicia responded modestly: I appreciate it, Miss Moss, but I don't think I'm qualified to advise someone of your kind. caliber. The project was nothing more than a small side adventure of mine. Yolanda did not answer immediately.

It seemed that an idea had just occurred to her when she asked: Miss Bennett, do you happen to know why Caden returned to the country?

It was clear that Yolanda already he knew the answer: a boast veiled as a question, an implicit challenge. Remaining unperturbed, Alicia replied: Caden and I are not friends enough to talk about those topics.

Seriously, Yolanda replied, momentarily surprised by Alicia's calmness. Regaining his composure, he added politely: Since it's a secret, perhaps I shouldn't say more. Goodbye, Mrs. Bennett.

Alicia saw her go, but did not follow her. His gaze returned to the business card in his hand. On impulse, she took out her phone and looked up Yolanda on the Internet.

As she left the bathroom, Alicia tried to contact her assistant, but saw a message from Caden: Come out and look for me.

< p>Confused by his request, she preferred not to respond. Lost in her thoughts, she returned to the restaurant to meet with her assistant.

Are you feeling unwell, her assistant asked her with concern. You seem a little off.

Alicia shook her head and gave a reassuring smile. I'm fine. Thanks for tonight. You should go home and rest.

Her assistant sighed in relief and nodded.

After saying goodbye, Alicia looked around but didn't see Caden anywhere. However, as she walked down the stairs, she finally saw him.

In the midst of a sea of ​​luxury cars and bustling people, Caden stood out effortlessly. He was a few meters away, deep in conversation with Yolanda. Yolanda held a steaming mug of hot drink, smiling as she took a sip, but immediately flinched as the liquid scalded her.

Started, she spilled the drink all over her clothes and her composure gave way to panic.< /p>

Caden frowned and hurried to remove the scarf from Yolanda's neck, using it to wipe the hot drink from her hands and avoid burns.

Her eyes Yolanda turned red instantly; She bit her lip to hold back the pain, she seemed totally distraught. After a few moments, Caden finished cleaning her hands and tossed the tissue into a nearby trashcan. He stopped, something was bothering him. The scarf looked familiar.

Alicia watched his actions from a distance, her eyes flickering as she watched his seemingly nonchalant removal of the scarf. Deciding not to linger, she walked away from the unfolding drama.

Just as she was about to leave, Caden noticed her. He narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to Yolanda.

Have the driver take you to the hospital to have that checked, he ordered.

Yolanda's voice trembled. Caden, and you.

I have things to take care of. Don't worry about me, he responded, signaling to the driver, who immediately opened the car door for Yolanda.

After saying goodbye to the client, Alicia noticed Caden approaching her. He seemed determined, and she realized there was no escape.

Didn't you see my message, Caden asked.

Alicia kept her eyes down. I have seen it. What do you want? Her cold and distant response seemed to irritate him. A few days before, their conversations had been flirtatious and full of laughter, but now she acted as if he were a stranger.

Nothing serious; “I just wanted to catch up,” Caden said, his eyes subtly scanning her exposed neck and arms. He was relieved to see no signs of an allergic reaction.

Then he asked, lowering his voice: The investment went well.

Alicia nodded. Yes.

Caden frowned, his impatience growing. Your neck is stiff Why don't you look at me Look up.

She remained silent, with her gaze fixed downwards. Feeling frustrated, Caden reached out his hand, trying to tilt her chin up, but Alicia quickly backed away, avoiding his touch.

Her face immediately darkened. "What's that supposed to mean?" Caden asked.
