The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 88

Chapter 88:

Now, Alicia was at her breaking point.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to think clearly.

Despite everything, he was still able to maintain consciousness.

You don't have to do that. I didn't do anything to make you feel good. "You were the one who did it all," he stammered.

Caden giggled softly, his voice muffled against her.

I appreciate you worrying about me, he said, pulling her close and inhaling deeply. the scent of her hair. Alicia felt paralyzed and too nervous to respond.

Caden then asked: Do you hate him?

Although the question was casual, his gaze burned with intensity.

It was like he wouldn't let her say yes, but he didn't seem worried if she did.

Alicia found herself unable to lie, but she also didn't dare admit the truth, so she turned her head away to concentrate on something else.

Caden took the opportunity to insist.

If the answer is no, then think of me when you can't sleep.

Think of him while he does what

They both understood the implication.< /p>

However, they didn't dare say it out loud.

Alicia felt a wave of shame wash over her.

Shut up.

Once they were done, he didn't dare look at Caden and He quickly found an excuse to head to the bathroom.

Caden leaned back in his chair, seeking a moment of respite.

He wasn't in the habit of smoking, so there were no cigarettes in the room. home. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to relax as he waited for his heartbeat to stabilize. His shirt was half unbuttoned, revealing a sheen of sweat on his muscular chest, which rose and fell with each breath.

After an eternity, Alicia slowly left the bathroom.

p>

He stayed a few meters away, trying to act as if nothing had happened.

Where is what I asked you for?

Caden slowly opened his eyes.

He looked deeply into her eyes before walking towards her. desk.

Alicia followed closely.

She stood on the edge of the desk.

After leaning on it to stabilize her trembling legs and waist Slightly trembling, she tried to find her balance.

Caden handed her the remaining third of the documents. Then he took out a sealed envelope from the drawer.

Inside this envelope are some photographs, he explained, tapping the envelope. Randolph doesn't want anyone to know them. They are of no use to me, but you might find them valuable.

Alicia looked at her hand for a moment.

Her hands were clean, with defined, thin fingers.< /p>

It was impossible to know what unpleasant things they had done just moments ago.

Caden noticed her look and smiled with satisfaction. What's on your mind? Do you want to do it again?

Alicia covered her mouth and coughed softly.

Then, she discreetly accepted the envelope from him. I didn't mean that. I was just curious. Why are you going to so much trouble?

Last time, even though she had been drunk, she hadn't held back. If he had really crossed a line with her, she wouldn't say he was forcing her.

As for now, she had rejected him verbally, but her body had told a different story.

< p>What could he have done if he had been firmer? From a man's perspective, he thought that Caden had no need to pretend to be a gentleman.

Caden stated bluntly: We can continue now if you want.< /p>

She shook her head vigorously.

There was no need for that at all.

While holding the envelope, he hesitated whether to leave.

If you have something on your mind, say it, he told her. .

Alicia leaned in slightly and whispered: Caden, you have some kind of secret illness.

Caden was momentarily speechless.

Then she pursed her lips and He answered nonchalantly: You have reason.

Alicia was shocked.

What the hell, she exclaimed inwardly.

What's wrong, she asked.

Caden He let out a snort as he glanced at his priest. Why don't you guess?

Alicia's mind was buzzing with all kinds of crazy ideas. The more she thought about it, the more outlandish those thoughts became.

Well, take care of yourself, she said.

Alicia could feel the intensity of his gaze. It was as if he wanted to eat her alive. Deciding it was best to leave quickly, he turned to leave.

Caden watched her retreating figure, slowly leaning back in his chair.

He really would give up the chance to come back. to sleep with her

No, certainly not.

However, he was in no hurry. She could wait for the right moment.

By then, her prey would be even more tempting.

As Alicia opened the door to leave, a thought crossed her mind, and she turned to him.

Do you need me to take out the trash from the kitchen, he asked.

Caden was momentarily taken aback.

No, Alicia responded nonchalantly.

Caden was left speechless.

While Meanwhile, Jerald was at the Yates mansion. He now needed several meals throughout the day, including one at four in the afternoon. When he was awake, Shelia personally attended to his daily needs, eager to gain his favor.

Bringing his food to the study, she said, Take a break, Jerald. You just recovered. Don't exhaust yourself. Let Joshua take care of these tasks.

Jerald snorted.

He didn't want Joshua to take on too many responsibilities, so he insisted on working even when he was indisposed.

< p>Leave him and go, he said, irritated by her insistence.

Shelia understood his temper. He was used to being macho and carried insecurities from his past as a live-in son-in-law, which made him quite patriarchal.

I knew that saying too much would only provoke his anger.

With that idea in mind , opened the door and left.

As she left, Shelia remembered Jerald's medication schedule. Worry gnawed at her and prompted her to open the medicine cabinet and shake the bottle.

To her dismay, only a small amount of medication remained.

This particular medication was effective, but it was not easy to obtain by ordinary means; only Caden had the resources to acquire it.

Jerald always assumed that it was Joshua who supplied him with the medicine.

Shelia preferred to let Joshua receive the credit for such a thoughtful act. He had no intention of revealing Caden's capabilities to Jerald.

In his effort to maintain the facade, he resorted to purchasing counterfeit medications, passing them off as the genuine article.

Since the effects were similar, he believed that Jerald would not notice any discrepancies.

At worst, he might experience a slightly slower recovery.

Just as Shelia was mixing the authentic medication with the counterfeit, heard the voice of Joshua I called her from behind.

Mom, what are you doing
