The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 489

Chapter 489:

“What more do I need to do for you to like me? What should I do…” Her voice turned pleading toward the end, and without warning, she lunged at Caden.

Caden remained still as Dorian quickly moved forward and grabbed Yolanda, stopping her from further degrading herself.

His heart ached for his daughter, and he was furious with Caden for his cruelty.

Yolanda collapsed into her father’s embrace, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed.

“Dad, I really love Caden.

I’ve loved him since I was a child.

I love him so much.

Please help me…”

Despite being a prideful man, Dorian couldn’t ignore his daughter’s sorrow.

Unable to scold her for her foolishness, he instead tightened his arms around her in comfort.

After a moment, Dorian turned his cold gaze to Caden.

“I have indulged my daughter for most of her life, so I am to blame for her behavior.

But nobody is perfect.

I will give Yolanda a few months to come to her senses.

If she fails, I assure you I will do whatever it takes to make you hers.”

With that ominous promise, Dorian guided the sobbing Yolanda out of the room.

Caden smirked.

“If you can drive the Blizzard Group to the ground,” he called after Dorian, his voice dripping with defiance.

Alicia whipped her head around to look at him.

Caden’s profile was familiar, yet different at the same time.

There was an arrogant, almost savage edge to his features tonight, something akin to the recklessness of a hotheaded youth.

Alicia felt her heart race, inexplicably drawn to him in that moment.

She then turned her attention to Regina, who remained seated, her brows slightly furrowed.

Regina’s mouth was set in a grim line, and though there was pity in her expression, Alicia could swear she saw a flicker of amusement.

Alicia couldn’t tell whether Regina was laughing at herself or at Yolanda, but it was clear that Regina had given everything for her daughter, which made her disappointment all the more understandable.

Feeling a pang of sympathy for Regina, Alicia waved the waiter over and decided to order a few additional dishes.

Regina snapped out of her reverie.

“The table is full of untouched food.

Why would you order more?”

“They’ve been here a while,” Alicia replied calmly.

“They won’t taste as good now.

Please enjoy the fresh dishes I’ve ordered.”

“Why are you always trying to please everyone?” Caden suddenly interjected.

Alicia shot him a playful look and elbowed his side.

Regina couldn’t help but smile.

This kind of affection wasn’t forced—it was earned and nurtured.

When the new dishes arrived, Regina noticed they were all to her liking.

“Are you familiar with my tastes, Ms.

Bennett?” she asked, surprised.

“I suppose I got lucky with my guesses.

Devarlton’s cuisine is generally sweet and mild, so I took a chance and ordered a few local delicacies.”

Regina nodded, visibly pleased.

“You sure have a keen sense, Ms.

Bennett.”

Earlier, the food served had catered to Caden’s preferences, no doubt chosen by Yolanda.

As prideful as he was, Dorian couldn’t seem to stop indulging Yolanda’s whims.

Unfortunately, all his doting had turned her into an entitled brat who didn’t hesitate to overstep in others’ lives.

His father’s affection would ultimately become Yolanda’s greatest weapon.

Alicia had been unsettled by Dorian’s threat, and that sense of unease lingered even when they returned home.

She remained distracted, even as Caden pulled her into a passionate kiss.
