The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 84

Chapter 84:

Alicia jumped and turned around. At some point, Caden must have moved silently behind her. His gaze was cold as ice.

Feeling a wave of guilt, he almost dropped the cup he was holding. He forced a smile and said: I didn't ask you to stay in the kitchen. What are you doing here?

Caden replied sinisterly: If I hadn't come, I would have discovered what a big surprise you have prepared for me.

Alicia found herself speechless. Although her prank had been an impromptu idea, she remained cautious. Still, he managed to catch her.

Feeling the icy tension radiating from Caden, Alicia knew better than to argue. With a reluctant sigh, he poured the toilet water down the drain. Then he stood up straight and put his hands behind his back. She bowed her head and remained silent.

Caden towered over her, his broad chest making him look even more imposing. When his expression changed to one of stern authority, he looked like a strict schoolteacher reprimanding a misbehaving student.

Alicia remained quiet and obedient, but the defiant stance she maintained showed that she would not back down. . Then he stayed looking at her hand.

Why are you still holding that cup, he asked her. What do you plan to refill it when I leave you alone?

Alicia's lips moved slightly as she tossed the cup aside. She could tell that Caden was really angry, but after knowing him for so many years, she had witnessed his worst moods and was not afraid.

Her curiosity got the better of her. How did you know I was planning to play a prank on you?

Caden felt a wave of nausea as he remembered the previous scene. At first, he hadn't suspected anything, but something in his gut urged him to check on Alicia.

When Caden saw her drawing water from the toilet, his expression instantly darkened. He was relieved to have gotten in when he did. What would have happened if I hadn't?

Honestly, I was looking forward to the pear soup. If he had accidentally consumed it, his obsessive cleaning would have made him vomit for days. Caden's voice was icy as he spoke tersely. Wash your hands thoroughly before returning to the kitchen.

Alicia commented: You still haven't explained to me how you knew!

Caden snapped: Your stupid eyes gave you away!< /p>

Alicia felt a wave of anger. Well, your eyes are even dumber!

After the previous incident, Caden scrutinized his every move. Alicia also felt wary of him. She kept her behavior in check.

In no time, the shrimp finished cooking, and Alicia even found time to prepare a dipping sauce. The dish was a vibrant mix of color, aroma and flavor. Caden stood behind her, watching her skillful movements. I was fully aware that she had perfected this routine over time. She had practiced tirelessly, all for Joshua.

When Alicia picked up a plate, she quickly stepped away when she realized that the edge was too hot. Caden intervened effortlessly, lifting the plate with one hand.

Alicia touched her ear and went to grab the cutlery. The dining room table was not big by any means. Once seated, they placed themselves at the right distance.

Alicia, hungry, dove into the food without hesitation. He ate slowly, with grace and poise, without rushing. With a shrimp in his mouth, he looked at Caden, who was sitting motionless.

Why aren't you eating anything, he asked tentatively. It's not to your taste

Before, while she was cooking, he seemed quite satisfied. Caden kept a neutral expression and asked: It's too hot for you.

Alicia moved the food in her mouth and blew lightly. Yes.

Then tell me this: if I put my hand on the plate, it would burn.

Alicia thought his question was strange and tilted her head in confusion. Instinctively he looked at his hands, but they were empty.

Then he realized. Oh, I'm just used to serving myself.

Her comment unexpectedly softened Caden's demeanor. He stood up and grabbed the cutlery for himself. Noticing that Caden was savoring the food, Alicia saw the opportunity to ask: When are you going to give me the rest?

Caden continued eating calmly and replied: The work is not finished yet. There's no need to hurry.

Alicia counterattacked: But you promised you wouldn't sleep with me!

Caden looked up slightly. I wasn't saying that. I was referring to the pear soup.

Alicia found herself momentarily speechless. Frustrated, she exclaimed: Can you please stop giving me mixed signals?

Caden calmly responded: Which of my words has misled you? I said something that alluded to sex.

Alicia replied: You knew exactly what you were suggesting.

I can't speak for it, but your mind certainly seems to wander, Caden replied after taking a calm sip of his soup. But I understand it. With my skills, it is natural that women cannot resist me after we have become intimate.

His comment left Alicia speechless. It implied that he had been with many women. He squeezed his fork tightly and asked: You have been with many.

Caden smiled satisfied and asked: What do you think?

Alicia studied his handsome face. , trying to gauge his response. He was a handsome man in the prime of life. Honestly, he looked like a playboy with a series of affairs and possibly even illegitimate children all over the world. She might even have an STD.

The fact that she had lost her virginity to someone so vile made her feel uncomfortable.

That's why, when she brought the pear soup to him, her movements They were somewhat clumsy. Eat this and then settle your debt to me, he told her, making his impatience visible.

Noticing her irritated expression, Caden remained motionless. "I'm too exhausted," he replied.

Alicia wrinkled her forehead. What do you mean by that?

Feed me, he said.
