The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 53

Chapter 53:

A wave of discomfort washed over Caden.

His initial thought was the possibility of an inappropriate photo of Alicia being circulated .

He looked up.

Alicia, already separated from the group, remained alone and distant. Her expression soured as she considered retreating into the adjacent vegetation, clearly disturbed and intimidated by the crowd.

In a stern voice, Caden ordered: Drive over there and confiscate their phones.

Hank she realized it immediately.

When Alicia was about to flag down a taxi, a Maybach stopped abruptly in front of her, blocking her path. Hank got out of the vehicle and, with authority, demanded that the group hand over their phones.

He then deleted all the photos they had taken, right in front of Alicia.

Alicia, Initially shocked, she soon relaxed into a smile and said, Thank you, Hank.

Hank modestly declined the praise. Mr. Ward's orders. Where are you going, Miss Bennett? I can offer you a ride.

Alicia looked towards Caden.

Lounging in the back seat, Caden was engrossed in his phone, his sharp profile radiating indifference.

She hesitated for a moment and then said, Thanks for the offer, Hank, but I'm not sure it's in your route. I'm headed to the Yates mansion.

Hank replied with a hint of surprise: Actually, he's on his way. Mr. Ward is also going there.

Alicia was speechless.

She wondered why Caden, who harbored such disdain for his father, would visit the mansion.

Finding herself with no choice, Alicia got into the car.

Her long skirt, which reached to her calves, was uncomfortable when she sat down, forcing her to adjust it along with the straps of her dress. because of the concern caused by cleavage.

Caden took a look at this fit.

There's nothing to see. Why bother covering up, he commented nonchalantly.

Irritated, Alicia snapped: Just because you can't see anything doesn't mean I can't choose to cover up. By your logic, you should walk around naked, since you hardly impress.

Hank was surprised by the exchange. He thought to himself, I'm really getting all this drama for free

Caden's smile was evident. You are quite changeable. Just last night, you expressed how much you missed me, and now, look at your behavior.

Hank found the unfolding drama fascinating, thinking to himself of the unique content unfolding before him. Alicia inhaled deeply. I already explained it to you, it was just a typo!

Caden responded nonchalantly: Oh, yes.

Frustration grew inside him. He always had a maddening way of being.

Caden grabbed his phone and quickly accessed the chat history from the previous night.

Alicia felt uncomfortable. What are you doing?

I'm just taking a screenshot to see if others believe it, Caden replied nonchalantly.

Who are you planning on sending it to? Alicia asked, her anxiety growing.

If it had been Gerry, it wouldn't have been a problem, but Caden's response was: Joshua.

Alicia was startled and her heart sank. accelerated This could sabotage everything.

He thought about picking up the phone, but he remembered a previous incident in the office and controlled himself.

Then do what you think is best. Rumors about us won't hurt me, Alicia said, forcing a smile. In fact, being linked to Mr. Ward could work in my favor.

Caden remembered the night before and smiled. With a movement, he closed the phone and commented nonchalantly: Sent.

Alicia's smile faltered and she gritted her teeth. Don't forget to let me know your response. I'm very curious.

I will, Caden confirmed.

Choosing silence, Alicia turned around.

Hank caught a glimpse of Caden's expression, a mix of amusement and irritation. I had never witnessed such a youthful side of Caden. Caden always became more talkative around Alicia, as if each encounter was a celebration.

The car was silent until Alicia's phone interrupted the silence.

Answering in In a softer tone, Alicia spoke: Monica, what's wrong?

Monica's voice was heard, expressing her discontent. The outfit you chose doesn't work, Alicia. It's too simple and won't have the effect we need.

Alicia, wary that Caden might hear her, approached the car door. In a low voice, she confided: The outfits you suggested are too daring to wear in public.

Monica replied: They only show a little neck and legs, and they are a little shorter than your usual style. You didn't once say that bolder is better.

In a low voice, Alicia admitted: Still, I'm hesitant to show him so much.

Monica laughed and replied: Okay, I do. I will let it be. Honestly, your face is enough.

Alicia perked up. I also have another strategy in mind.

Oh, what's your alternative plan, Monica asked.

After finishing the call, Alicia picked up a new book she had bought. Leaning back, he held up the book so its title caught Caden's attention.

The title read: The Manipulator's Trick. Caden was speechless.

Noticing his interest, Alicia narrowed her eyes and gave him a playful smile. You're curious. You want to read it too

He approached and handed her the book. How about we read it together

Caden looked down. He struggled to concentrate on the text, but Alicia's subtly exposed cleavage was unmistakably visible.
