The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 55

Chapter 55:

Alicia looked away and continued rubbing her forehead, preferring not to engage in conversation with Joshua.

Joshua gently pulled her along to his side, trying to keep some distance from Caden.

He greeted Caden with a polite but distant tone. Caden.

Alicia discreetly removed her hand, wiping the area of ​​her dress where Joshua had touched.

Caden responded with a slight curl of her lips, her casual recognition.

Joshua then asked: You're always so busy. How did you manage to bring Alicia here today?

Caden responded nonchalantly: It was a chance meeting.

Quite a coincidence, right. Joshua commented, his tone still dripping with hostility.

Caden gave a soft chuckle.

If you're intrigued by the coincidence, maybe you should ask your ex-wife, he suggested.

This left Alicia speechless, as Caden's advance seemed to hint at romance.

It wasn't Caden who had offered to take her

Joshua's intense gaze It made Alicia feel uncomfortable, so she decided use a tactic from the book.

I was walking too fast and accidentally bumped into Caden, he explained quietly, his hand still on his forehead. Feeling overwhelmed, she added: I feel a little dizzy. I can go in and rest for a while.

Joshua pushed her hand away, revealing a red mark on his forehead.

Alicia wasn't usually so accommodating, but she didn't resist.< /p>

Joshua preferred not to investigate further at that time. Go rest in my room. I'll come see you later.

Reluctantly, Alicia questioned the convenience of resting in her room.

Is it really okay for me to be in your room, she asked with a worried expression. And if Miss Green finds out.

He's not here today, Joshua reassured her.

But someone might see him, Alice insisted, still undecided.

Joshua He reassured her with confidence: With my permission, no one will dare to gossip.

He gently guided Alicia by the shoulders towards the interior. Proceed, I need to discuss some things with….

Alicia pursed her lips but reluctantly pulled away.

Joshua then turned to face Caden, an odd moment given that he usually They avoided each other. Do you have any interest in Alicia

Caden responded with a dismissive scoff. What makes you think?

Joshua's frustration was palpable as he clenched his fists. You two have always been at odds. Why did you help her yesterday at the police station?

Caden headed towards the classroom, explaining: She's an old classmate. I was simply helping her. There's something wrong with that

Not satisfied, Joshua persisted, following Caden.

This isn't just about old-school bonding, right

His tone was accusatory.

Caden settled into a chair in the side room, crossing his legs, and smiled at Joshua.

You seem quite susceptible, Caden commented, and added provocatively: “It bothers you to think that there could be something between your ex-wife and me.”

Joshua's expression instantly darkened.

Caden, you're going too far.

Caden, always imperturbable, replied: Just a question. Why So Defensive

Joshua balled his hands into fists, his usual indifference toward women overshadowed by the recent changes in Alicia's behavior.

The idea of ​​Caden tagging along to Alicia to the police station, that they arrived together today and that they exchanged glances… all of that worried him deeply. Alicia is with me now, Joshua stated firmly, standing tall. You should keep some distance from her, he advised.

Caden's laugh was hollow, the amusement not reaching his eyes.

You divorced your ex, you got engaged to the heiress of the Green family, and now you're back with your ex. What a spider web you weave.

Joshua maintained his composure and calmly responded: Alicia hasn't been able to turn the page. He has loved me for years. It would be cruel to ignore that.

Caden commented: Looks like Alicia still has a few tricks to keep your attention.

Joshua's expression tightened, his denial evident.

So you really care about Lilliana, Caden asked, with a hint of mockery in his voice. You criticize me for helping Alicia, but you ignore your fiancée's frequent visits to my office. Quite intriguing.

Joshua had a matter to discuss. Once Lilliana has the baby, we might consider returning to work. This time he had a little slip. I'll get you a position at another agency. There's no need to worry, Caden.

Caden responded nonchalantly, As you wish.

This exchange only deepened Joshua's suspicions about Caden's spiteful motives. He remembered a previous plan, which had been designed only to cause him financial loss and distress.

Meanwhile, the area outside was bustling with activity. With his responsibilities pending, Joshua left, his expression serious.

On a nearby table, there was a variety of fruits. Caden nonchalantly picked up a mangosteen.

As he opened it, Alicia sat down next to him.

Where did you come from, Caden asked, looking around.
