The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 90

Chapter 90:

The vial contained a medication that could cause lack of appetite, drowsiness and, above all, a significant decrease in sexual desire.

This is an improved version prepared by my mentor, Monica explained with a knowing smile. It is designed for patients who have… difficulty controlling themselves. The side effects are mild, but it works like a charm. And the best thing is almost impossible to detect.

Alicia was curious. Patients Really, people struggle to control their sexual urges.

Monica, well versed in the oddities of human behavior, shrugged her shoulders as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. You wouldn't believe how many weird things there are out there. It's hard to keep up. My mentor and I have dedicated ourselves to researching these topics, and we have made impressive progress over the past two years.

Alicia was both impressed and a little embarrassed. You've worked so hard, and here I am using your work for... less noble purposes.

Monica laughed, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Oh, don't worry. Delivering justice to assholes like Joshua is as noble a purpose as ever. Honestly, I wish I could make a pill that would turn him into a pathetic lapdog. That way, when you're in a bad mood, you could kick him, and when you're feeling generous, you could feed him shit.

Alicia couldn't help but laugh, the image disturbing but strangely satisfying.

Being with Monica was a very nice getaway, but he couldn't afford to waste time. She sighed, painfully aware that time was ticking.

Monica realized she was hesitant to leave. Stop acting like you miss me so much. If you really did it, you would think of me more often.

Alicia smiled weakly. Today I have been busy. I didn't avoid you on purpose, you fool.

Monica raised an eyebrow. Busy with what, exactly. You've been tied up all day.

Monica's question immediately brought Caden to the forefront of Alicia's mind. Their previous encounter was repeated in vivid detail: how he had done unspeakable things to her.

It was not something she could easily forget, and just thinking about it made her cheeks blush.

Monica noticed the change immediately and his curiosity skyrocketed. Oh-ho! Look at you. Who made you blush like that? Some handsome rogue has stolen your heart.

Alicia tried to hide it, fanning her reddened cheeks. It's nothing like that! I just had to run a bunch of errands.

Errands, huh What kind of errand would make you turn red as a tomato. Monica scoffed, her suspicions growing. He leaned forward with a knowing smile. Come on, tell me. Who's the lucky one I've never seen you so….

So horny Not even with Joshua.

Alicia gasped, surprised by the comment. Horny What the hell are you talking about? I'm not horny. She quickly rubbed her cheeks, as if that would erase the telltale blush.

Monica crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow in disbelief, like a parent who catches their child in a lie.

Feeling cornered, Alicia finally relented, her voice defensive. After separating from Rachel, I stayed with Caden. He told me he had something I wanted, and things got a little heated. That's why I'm late.

Monica's sharp gaze softened noticeably when Caden's name slipped into the conversation. "So, it was Caden who delayed you," he asked, lightening his tone.

Alicia's heart fluttered unsteadily, beating in time with the sudden nervousness that gripped her chest. Yes, she squealed guiltily.

Monica leaned towards her, her tone worried. She gave you a hard time.

Alicia caught the change in Monica's behavior the moment she mentioned Caden. It was as if his name alone had the power to dispel Monica's previous suspicions.

How extraordinary, he thought. Almost too convenient.

She wasn't exactly cruel, Alicia admitted, “but she didn't make things easy for me either.”

Monica let out a long sigh, her tension disappearing. That explains everything. You were so strange that I thought you had fallen in love with an idiot again.

Alicia was speechless, but now that Monica had stopped making fun of her, she felt relieved.

Sin However, something about Monica's reaction piqued his curiosity. You didn't suspect anything about Caden, he asked cautiously.

Monica blinked, her lips moving in amusement. Suspect what Of being involved with you Alicia nodded.

Monica laughed out loud, the sound echoing with genuine disbelief. You and Caden That's like me dating Joshua. What would you think of that?

Alicia grimaced internally.

What a horrible comparison.

After parting ways with Monica, Alicia found herself on Sunset Road, picking up one of Joshua's favorite snacks. All the while, his mind buzzed with conflicting thoughts.

When he returned to the Yates mansion, he discreetly crushed the medicine he had brought and mixed it with the snack before presenting it to her.

He Joshua's brow furrowed in displeasure as soon as his eyes landed on the takeout. I didn't just say that I was craving your food.

Alicia kept her voice even as she responded: Cooking takes time, you know. Have some of this while I prepare something.

The tension Joshua's posture relaxed slightly.

He had always been picky, rarely finding food that satisfied him, and few people remembered his specific tastes, but Alicia did. She always had.

It was the same as before.

Joshua's gaze lingered on her and his voice softened. Sunset Road is more than forty minutes away. You took a taxi

Alicia nodded vaguely. Yes, he said, not wanting to dwell on the details. She didn't want to dwell on their tense dynamic any more than necessary.

Unexpectedly, Joshua stepped forward and put his arms around her, pulling her close. Thank you. You still care a lot about me. After our divorce, I even began to doubt that you really loved me. It seems I was thinking too much.

Alicia remained silent, fighting the urge to roll her eyes.

She thought bitterly: Thinking too much No. I just needed you close enough to get high with me. your food.

The feeling of his body pressed against hers made her skin crawl, and she instinctively tried to push him away. But Joshua only tightened his grip, refusing to let go.

Memories of their two years of marriage flitted through her mind like unwelcome ghosts. He had always been busy, under pressure, and his demands, especially in the bedroom, had been relentless. At first, he had constantly tried to seduce her, but her shyness and awkwardness had only fueled his frustration.

In the end, he gave up and left her untouched. And then along came Lilliana, who was bold, daring, and more than willing to satisfy her needs.

Lilliana was everything Alicia was not: exciting, self-assured, and skilled in the art of seduction. .

But even the sexiest of women lost their attractiveness over time. Now that Lilliana was pregnant, she had become insufferably arrogant and unpredictable, adding more stress than excitement to her life.

He now desired the same Alicia that had previously disgusted him.

Men Like him, they always grew tired of their own decisions, endlessly chasing the next fleeting emotion.

Alicia's stomach turned at Joshua's familiar, repugnant smell, so she subtly held her breath. I can't cook like this, she murmured.

Joshua, ignoring her protest, buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply.

There's no rush to eat, he whispered.

There's no rush to eat, he whispered.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs made them stop.

Shelia appeared at the door, her eyes half-closed at the scene. What are you doing, he asked, with a voice full of disdain.

Joshua reluctantly let go of Alicia, frowning.

Shelia's gaze passed from one to the other, landing on Alicia with a sneer. You're really so horny, he mocked.

You can't wait to at least get out of the kitchen.
