The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 50

Chapter 50:

When Caden left, Alicia felt a subtle chill come over her.

It was a feeling she recognized well.< /p>

In the past, every time they argued and she gave him a look of disdain, he responded in kind.

He looked at her with contempt.

He felt disdain for her perceived stupidity.

Moments later, Joshua approached her.

He was as arrogant as ever.

Some time had passed since his last meeting and he seemed to have developed an even greater air of superiority.

He looked at her with contempt, as if he considered himself her savior.

Alicia felt a wave of repulsion. He quickly picked up the first aid kit and returned it to the officer.

Joshua said: Alicia, allow me to take you home.

She responded firmly: There's no need.

As she left the police station, Joshua walked beside her.

Not far away, the group of drunks from earlier, who had been fined, hovered, watching her with wide eyes. predators.

Joshua's tone turned icy. They just wanted to make fun of you. Why did you have to call the police? You didn't give them a choice.

Alicia stopped dead.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Joshua snapped. laugh. You're afraid I can give you a hand.

Alicia stared at him.

The anger and disgust were unmistakable in her eyes.

However, the darkness It prevented him from seeing him.

She challenged him: Why do you want to push me to the limit and then offer me help, Joshua? What do you want?

Joshua forced a smile.

< p>It was you who He advanced and offended Lilliana, and I only intervened to help you. And yet you blame me.

Alicia replied: You and Lilliana are not in this together. It was not he who had laid the groundwork for Lilliana's attack. It was not them who spread the harmful rumors and insults

Josué took her hand. Alicia, let's discuss this in the…

The moment he touched her, a wave of goosebumps spread across her skin, and she shook him hard.

Joshua squeezed harder.

Alicia was irritable and nervous, which she seemed to love. If I walk away, those drunks might take you to a secluded area and assault you. You're not afraid

Alicia took a shaky breath.

Joshua lowered his voice, making it more threatening. I have come expressly to get you out of this situation. If you refuse to come with me, I have other ways to force you.

He pointed towards the drunks and added threateningly: You've already been with someone. It doesn't matter if you have a few more partners.

Alicia's face turned white and she staggered.

Nausea took over her, threatening to make her vomit. Joshua, triumphant, hugged the stunned Alicia.

His voice sounded hoarse. Joshua, you have it all. Why can't you let me go?

Joshua studied his pale features.

It was you who provoked me first, he replied. You still have feelings for me and want to compete with Lilliana for my attention. There were more constructive ways to handle this, but you chose to sabotage his future. He reached out to play with her hair. You have any idea how much it cost me to clean up that mess. You should have made peace much sooner.

Alicia felt a wave of nausea overcome her.

I really still had feelings for him< /p>

What a ridiculous idea.

The weight of reality and the growing hatred ended up breaking his composure. Joshua guided her to the car.

She did not resist.

Alicia pursed her lips, bowed her head and remained silent, her expression tense.

It seemed that she had given up.

Joshua hadn't anticipated it being so simple, but then again, it made sense.

After all, deep down, she still loved him.< /p>

Their previous estrangement had been nothing more than a facade.

He fastened his belt. My father has been released from the hospital and is recovering at the Yates mansion. I'll take you there so you can stay for a while. Your safety will be guaranteed and you will be able to help take care of him.

Alicia squeezed hard. After a brief pause, he answered: Tomorrow I will tell you my decision.

Joshua smiled, clearly pleased. Okay.

Alicia leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.

Joshua studied her profile and asked: What was Caden doing at the police station? You guys get along well

Alicia replied nonchalantly: Ask him.

Joshua's expression soured.

Since he found out that all the money he had invested in various companies had ended up benefiting Caden, her resentment towards him had not more than escalate.

He didn't want anything to do with Caden.

He turned the ignition and started the car.

Keep your distance from him.

Keep your distance from him.

p>

In a nearby black car, Caden looked away and stubbed out his cigarette. Drive, he ordered Hank.

Hank observed Caden's indifferent demeanor and commented, I've seen it all. It didn't look like Mrs. Bennett was going with Mr. Yates willingly.

Caden still didn't respond. And what's your point?

Hank preferred to remain silent, finding himself at a loss for words.

Despite the situation, Alicia and Caden were not romantically involved.

His intention had been to facilitate Ciara's wishes.

But relationships couldn't be manufactured.

Hank shifted gears. Mr. Ward, we're going home.

Caden's tone was distant. No, we headed to the office.

If he went home, sleep would be elusive anyway.

Hank ventured: You're not going to take a break. You have to be alert to go to the Yates mansion tomorrow. If you're exhausted, how are you going to handle the situation?

Caden briefly closed his eyes, irritation evident. I can catch up on sleep at the office, he replied with annoyance.

Hank cleared his throat, choosing not to insist further. Strange noises soon began to be heard in the back seat.

At first, Hank wondered if he was imagining it, so he concentrated intensely.

Once he clearly identified the source, He turned around in disbelief. Mr. Ward, what the hell are you doing?

Caden didn't bother to lift his head. Just watching porn.

Hank was speechless.

He thought to himself: I know you're watching porn, but you really have to be so unfazed when I ask you.

Caden remained focused on the screen.

He tried to immerse himself in the movie, but as time passed, irritation began to seep in.

With a quick movement , he turned off the phone and looked back towards the window, his His eyes reflected a deep emotion that remained hidden from view.
