The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 79

Chapter 79:

That's not what I meant. I just didn't want to interrupt his time with Mrs. Gray, Alicia explained.

We've been married forever. You wouldn't be interrupting anything, Randolph replied firmly. Come on, let's go!

Just when Alicia was starting to feel trapped, she noticed Caden walking nearby. He was leaving with Gerry and a few others.

For a brief moment, he looked in their direction. Desperate to find a way out, Alicia hoped that he would come up to her, say something to her, and take her with him.

However, things never turned out the way she expected. Normally, she couldn't avoid Caden, but now, when she needed him, he was indifferent. He looked away, pretending not to notice her.

Alicia was completely speechless.

Rachel then said: Come on, Miss Bennett. Today he bought me jewelry, and I still owe him. Let me repay you with a meal.

Alicia noticed Rachel's rosy cheeks, and her expression was that of someone completely in love. Alicia's instincts told her that something was wrong. It seemed like Randolph and Rachel were planning something. Although Alicia had her own plans, if things got out of control, everything could go wrong.

Just as she was looking for a way to refuse, she heard Gerry's voice from the door. Alicia!

At that moment, her voice was a welcome relief. What's wrong, Mr. Hopkins Alicia turned to him.

He approached her and said: Come with me. Hank is already driving.

Seizing the opportunity, Alicia quickly said to Randolph: Excuse me, Mr. Gray, but I have to discuss a work matter with Mr. Hopkins. Let's have that meal another time. My treat.

Randolph looked at Gerry, standing in the distance. Aware of Gerry's influential background, she did not press the matter further.

Alicia wasted no time and approached Gerry, giving him a thumbs up.

Gerry raised an eyebrow. . What have I done to earn that? Alice smiled. You showed up at just the right time.

Gerry looked at Randolph and Rachel. They gave you a hard time, he asked.

No, but thanks anyway, Alicia answered.

For taking you, said Gerry, opening the car door for her. You are thanking the wrong person. This is Caden's car, and he was the one who sent me to pick you up.

Alicia looked up. Caden was sitting in the back seat, watching her casually.

She'd dealt with him enough times. No matter how cunning he was, he no longer feared him. Without hesitation, he got into the car and settled into his seat.

Gerry took the passenger seat. I had had a little to drink, so I couldn't drive. Also, I didn't realize you weren't with us when we left. Caden reminded me.

Alicia forced a smile. Thank you, Mr. Ward.

Caden replied nonchalantly: No problem. It was nothing. He was an expert at keeping up appearances. When he wasn't scheming, he played the part of the mature, polished professional effortlessly.

Alicia realized that Caden must have realized her situation sooner. That was probably why he had made Gerry come back for her. He touched his nose lightly. You feel better from your cold.

Caden raised an eyebrow. Miss Bennett, I'm impressed. You can really show concern for another person. Alicia didn't know how to respond and instantly regretted asking the question.

Caden smiled in satisfaction. So, you want me to get better or not.

Alicia pursed her lips. You want the truth

Either one will do for me.

Well, you might not like the truth.

Caden chuckled. Looks like you got what you wanted. I don't feel very well.

At this, Alicia moved further away. Don't pass it to me.

Gerry intervened: You can't go a minute without arguing.

Caden casually leafed through some documents. With you and Hank around, we only exchanged a few words. When we're alone, things have even come to blows.

Alicia froze for a second, quickly understanding the double meaning behind Caden's words. Caden glanced at him, his smile widening.

Underneath his calm façade, there was something sinister.

Seriously, Caden Gerry shifted in his seat, his voice full. of disbelief. How could you hit a woman

Caden's gaze locked on Alicia. It hurt you

Alicia's ears turned red, and she chose to remain silent, awkwardly scratching her head to avoid conversation.

Gerry misinterpreted the situation, assuming that Caden had mistreated her and He had left her upset.

In a serious tone, he said: Stop giving Alicia a hard time. I need you to write songs for me.

Caden smiled but remained silent.

Sounding worried, Gerry asked, Alicia, is your cold getting better?

Alicia nodded. . Yes, thank you for asking, Mr. Hopkins.

No problem, Gerry replied with a smile, then paused as a thought crossed his mind. He looked between the two, studying them closely.

How come they both caught colds at the same time.

Alicia didn't know what to answer.

Caden smiled contentedly. What a coincidence, right.

Gerry's suspicion grew.

Wait a minute... he narrowed his eyes, focusing on Caden's lips. Caden, that mark on your lip. It could be…
