The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 34:

? ? ? ? ?

Alice closed her eyes as tears fell down her face.

"Forks. Am I really that stupid?” she whispered.

“Yes, extremely stupid,” Caden replied flatly.

Alice struggled to form her words. “You must think I'm jealous of Lilliana, don't you?”

Caden probably assumed she wanted that expensive diamond ring. But that wasn't it at all.

What truly destroyed Alicia was seeing Joshua's hands.

The year his parents died in the plane crash, their bodies were trapped under the wreckage. Joshua risked a second explosion and spent three days and nights digging through the rubble. When he recovered their remains, his hands were so damaged they were almost unrecognizable.

If it hadn't been for Joshua's betrayal, Alice would never have realized how convincing pretending could be. After shedding her tears, she felt the weight on her heart lighten.

But now, his thoughts were cloudier than ever. She leaned on Caden's shoulder, resting her head on his neck.

Caden assumed she was about to cry again and didn't react until he noticed her steady breathing. Was she asleep? Feeling annoyed, I muttered, “Alice?”

I have called her name a few more times before she stirred, as if awakening from a deep sleep. His voice grew colder. “Let me go. “I have to go.” He had done more than enough to help her, but being used as her pillow was going too far.

Caden pulled her roughly, but Alicia responded by wrapping her arms around his neck. She then opened her eyes, frowning at him.

He stared at her face, noting how almost perfect it was.

His vision blurred and he felt like he was in a dream.

"Why are you crying?" I asked her in a low voice.

“Have you lost your mind?” Caden asked, his tone high-pitched. After all, she was the one crying.

Alice paused for a moment and gently stroked her face. She carefully wiped the tears from his cheeks and then wiped his nose.

Caden let her continue without reacting, staying still while she worked.
