The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 3:

? ? ? ? ?

Lilliana's eyes flickered with grim intent and her lips curved into a faint smile.

She wasn't stupid enough to show her cards now, so she brushed it off with an effortless excuse.

«During your two years of marriage, she has lived quietly in the shadows as a simple housewife, disconnected from her world. When you are firm, would she dare to say a word?

Joshua pursed his lips.

For the past two years, Alice had done everything for him, given him support and comfort. She had loved him fiercely, but in the end, what was the value of love?

Against all odds, he had managed to reach the top and had finally achieved the power he craved.

However, that success had not been easy, and it had not been love that had secured her position, but alliances with the powerful.

The prestige of the daughter of the Green family, that title alone, was worth much more than Alice's devoted love.

As these thoughts tormented his mind, Lilliana suddenly pressed her full red lips against his.

“Joshua,” she purred, her voice velvet, “congratulations on escaping the routine. “Shall we celebrate?”

For a moment, Joshua's gaze shifted to her, but Alicia's indifferent face suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Since he had left home, Alicia had not called him even once to ask about his whereabouts.

Before, if he had been angry with her, she would have called him scared.

A sharp, inexplicable irritation welled up inside him. Without thinking, he pushed Lilliana back, his voice hoarse.

"You're only a few weeks pregnant. Be careful."
