The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 555

Chapter 555:

Sensing the pause, Alicia sighed.

“I’m not going back to Joy Mansion, Hank.

If Caden wants to go, he can go himself.”

Caden, who had been listening, didn’t push Hank further and signaled for him to end the call.

Hank looked at Caden thoughtfully.

“Mr.

Ward, maybe it would be best if you invited Ms.

Bennett yourself.

These things matter to women.”

Caden’s jaw tightened.

After a moment, he grabbed his car keys and stood up.

Hank followed, adding tentatively, “Mr.

Ward?”

“I’ll take care of it,” Caden said, a hint of impatience in his tone.

Understanding, Hank stepped back with a slight nod.

Caden and Alicia’s relationship was no longer a secret.

Visiting Ciara at Joy Mansion required only one gift, yet Caden opted for something extravagant.

When he approached Alicia, he was ready to present it.

But to his surprise, she held a gift in her hands as well.

Caden’s brows knitted together.

“What’s this?” he asked, unable to hide his curiosity.

Alicia’s expression was composed.

“It’s a herbal tonic, good for your grandmother’s health.

Please take it back for me.

Just remember, it’s potent, so tell Aylin to prepare it no more than once a month.”

Caden’s eyes flicked to the label.

It was the exact brand he had chosen himself.

Despite their disagreements, they still seemed to think alike.

But it didn’t feel romantic.

Alicia had no intention of going back with him.

Caden longed to end the cold war between them.

The argument that started it all had been petty, yet now she wouldn’t even let him into the bedroom.

It stung more than he cared to admit.

“Alicia, get in the car.

We need to talk,” he said, trying to sound gentle, though the words came out strained.

Alicia glanced at him.

She had already planned her evening work and didn’t see the need.

“If you have something to say, just say it here.

No need to get in the car.”

Caden’s hope for a smooth conversation faltered.

“Talking to me is a waste of time?”

She met his gaze evenly.

“I’m busy, Caden.

If you have something to say, make it quick.”

But Caden wasn’t ready to back down.

“Get in the car first,” he repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Alicia sighed, finding him unreasonable.

Throughout their silent feud, he hadn’t even offered her a simple greeting.

Now, when he decided to reconcile, he still acted as though everything should bend to his will.

“Suit yourself,” she muttered, turning to walk away.

Before she could take more than a step, Caden got out of the car, swept her off her feet, and placed her inside.

“Caden!” Alicia protested, kicking and pushing against him.

Her neatly styled hair fell out of place.

“There are cameras at the entrance! How am I supposed to face my employees after this?”

Caden’s eyes narrowed.

“Which employee are you worried about? Blake?”

Alicia’s lips pressed into a thin line.
