The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 21:

Joshua's expression froze and a chill ran through him.

The mistress he had once boasted about with pride now felt like a bitter burden, a source of humiliation every time Alice spoke her name.

When the call connected, Alice hung up quickly, without losing her composure.

“I know how hard you’ve worked to rise in the Green family,” he said quietly. “It would be a real shame to ruin all that for a simple meal, don't you think?”

Joshua stood there speechless, his mind clouded with confusion. What the hell was happening to him?

Alicia had always been a mere stepping stone on his path, just like Lilliana.

Alicia turned her back on him, as if he didn't matter to her anymore. "We're divorced, Joshua. Let's stay away from each other. You can show yourself outside."

Her rejection, though expected, hit him like a ton of bricks. He froze, watching her retreating figure.

Suddenly, a burning question escaped her lips. “Has Caden slept with you?”

Alicia didn't even look back. "You have no right to pry into my personal life."

“Alicia, we may be divorced, but Caden is not someone you should be getting involved with. Do you understand?” His voice was calm, but the warning in it was unmistakable.

Unfazed, Alice continued towards the door. She paused briefly to lean against it, her body slightly relaxed, though tension still marked her face.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned the knob and entered, closing the door behind him with a firm click.

Alicia took out her phone and started buying some things online. Meanwhile, in Caden's office…
