The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 225

Chapter 225:

Alicia worked with the mistaken idea that they had already perished. Despite this belief, she found herself unable to ask Caden: That's it. You don't like anything else about me.

His previous words had been so harsh that she couldn't bear to hear them again.

Exhausted, her eyelids became heavier and sleep began to take over her. She knew that falling asleep now could mean starting a new life, one in which she would forget Caden and everyone she had known in it. Although reluctant, there seemed to be no way to resist. As sleep began to take hold of her, she murmured, Caden…

Yes Caden responded instantly, leaning closer, anticipating a confession.

Instead, her next statement caught him off guard. : I need to go to the bathroom.

Caden blinked in surprise. Alicia continued in a low voice: There are bathrooms in hell. Maybe I should piss right here.

For a moment, she was speechless. Realizing her urgency, he quickly reached out to help her, but it was too late. Lifting the blanket, he saw that his clothes were already soaked. A vein throbbed on his forehead as his expression went from confusion to resignation. Without saying anything, he takes out his cell phone and takes a photo of the scene.

Suddenly, the door burst open.

The plump, middle-aged owner, who had been his unexpected savior, entered. His eyes widened at the sight. "My God," she exclaimed in shock.

Maintaining his composure, Caden calmly responded, "I'm sorry about this." I'll take care of it.

The owner looked at the bed, her face contorted with anguish. These sheets are pure silk and cost a fortune!

I'll compensate you tenfold, Caden replied, instinctively reaching for his checkbook, only to realize that he didn't have it with him. In a quick gesture of assurance, he unclasped the luxurious watch from his wrist, valued at more than nine million dollars, and handed it to her. Please accept this as a guarantee.

The owner's eyes widened slightly as she recognized the unique brand. Noticing the man's wealth and the authenticity of the watch, he smiled subtly and put it in his pocket.

Well, then, he said with a wink. Feel free to make as much mess as you want!

Caden was speechless; He hadn't expected her to go this far. The owner, who had some basic medical knowledge, examined Alicia. With a reassuring nod, he turned to Caden.

He's stable; His fever is going down. But it's cold tonight, you shouldn't stay in wet clothes. You'll have to change it quickly.

Caden nodded, his expression determined but slightly hesitant. The owner glanced at him, her eyes shining with curiosity.

You don't look like you've done much laundry, she observed with a mocking smile. Have you ever washed sheets.

Caden raised an eyebrow. You don't have a washing machine here.

Oh, yes I do, she responded with a hint of amusement. But you know how to handle it.

Caden was momentarily speechless. Then he replied: I seem incapable to you. The owner smiled satisfied. Well then, go ahead.

He had encountered a lot of spoiled men who lacked even the most basic skills. Before leaving, he reminded her: But don't put his underwear in the machine.

Okay, Caden responded, his voice unsure. In fact, it was the first time he had handled a woman's underwear, but it turned out to be easier than he had anticipated. The accommodation at the inn was basic, and the weather was tough. The water took centuries to heat up. Impatient, he decided to wash them in cold water.

It was a struggle; The fabric was delicate and sparse, making it difficult for his large hands to manipulate it gently. When he finished and hung them to dry, he realized that the elastic had stretched. Given Alicia's slim waist, he was worried they wouldn't fit properly.

Caden paused for a moment, contemplating the situation. Since they were enduring the harsh conditions of the snowy mountains and the inn did not sell underwear, they would have to make do.

Alicia slept soundly all day and all night, not waking up until the next afternoon. .

The medication had had its effect: the fever had disappeared and the wounds were less bothersome, but the surroundings still seemed like purgatory.

A warm yellow lamp gently illuminated the room. Caden was sitting in a chair next to the bed, resting with his eyes closed. The chair made a soft creak, adding a note of tranquility to the environment.

Alicia watched him, captivated by his severe but attractive profile. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't realize how long she had been looking at him until suddenly he opened his eyes, turned his head, and their gazes met.

Alicia was startled and returned to reality. Her heart raced madly as she groggily murmured: Why do I still remember you?

Caden stared at her. Why don't you remember me

Alicia's voice came out hoarse and uncertain. Maybe I haven't started a new life.

Caden was momentarily speechless, wondering if the fever had left her disoriented. He stood up, poured himself a glass of water and approached her.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he said: It seems that the rules of hell have changed. Before you can start again, you must complete a task.

Alicia looked at the water wistfully, her lips dry. What homework, he asked tentatively.

Caden sat down next to her and brought the glass to her lips. You have to sleep with the man you love before you can move on, he replied.

Stunned, Alice stared at him, unsure if she had heard correctly.

His expression must have been comical. , because Caden struggled to keep a straight face as he reiterated: Yes, sleep with the man you love before you start again.

Alicia was speechless.

Caden leaned in. closer to her and asked: So, do you want to?

His cheeks flushed with heat. Emboldened by the belief that she was in the afterlife, she put aside her usual reservations. Yes, I do, he admitted.

And what exactly do you want, Caden asked with a sly smile. Start a new life or sleep with me.

Alicia's face turned even redder. Overwhelmed and unable to express her deepest desires, she looked away. I want to drink some water...

This time, Caden looked surprised.

Deciding to stop teasing her, he realized that it was impractical to help her drink in her state. . So he took a sip. Then, gently separating her lips with his fingers, he leaned down and passed her the water with a tender kiss.
