The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 24:

Gerry let out a chuckle. “You know I didn't mean that.”

Even though she had been making fun of Caden moments ago, the idea of ​​Alicia and Caden having some sort of romantic relationship seemed absurd to her. The idea of ​​two people who seemed to butt heads at every turn, but shared a kind of forbidden tension, was oddly amusing. Who wouldn't find that scenario entertaining?

But Caden had a peculiar problem: he found it impossible to develop feelings for someone who constantly clashed with him. As for Alicia, the idea of ​​getting involved with her ex-husband's older brother was simply out of the question.

Alice agreed.

He brought up the subject of the stained seat again. “I’ll take the car and have all the seats replaced,” I suggested.

However, he had just started collaborating with Alicia and was genuinely impressed by the song she had recorded that night. The stain didn't bother him. “It's not a big deal. “I’ll have someone else take care of it later.”

Alice didn't let it go. "That's not right, Mr. Hopkins. I have to make it up to you properly."

Seeing her determination, Gerry finally gave in. “Fine, I’ll deduct the cost from your payment. Is that okay?”

Alice agreed without hesitation. “Sounds good to me.”

With that settled, Alice turned her attention to Caden. “How much do I owe you for the jacket?”
