The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 49:

? ? ? ? ?

A police officer approached with a pair of handcuffs, preparing to secure them around Alicia.

Caden stood in front of him, holding up a hand. “There's no need to go that far.”

The agent hesitated, surprised.

Recognizing the peculiar connection between Caden and Alicia, he withdrew his hand.

Alicia gently moved her burned hand away and climbed into the police car. Caden slid in behind her.

She looked at him, slightly puzzled. “You're not coming back?”

He sat down, his long legs almost overwhelming the small space.

"It's much more entertaining to watch you squirm at the station," he said.

Alice sensed his malicious intent.

He sank into his seat and remained silent.

A police officer offered Caden a bottle of water. “Thank you, Mr. Ward.”

Caden greeted her with a friendly smile. Then he commented, “I’ve barely done anything.”

Alice let out an exasperated sigh, shaking her head.

He let out a silent snort.

He was skilled at feigning humility.

The officer smiled and said, “Mr. Ward, that is an understatement. You have contributed significantly over the years; “it is only right that we show you our gratitude.”

Alice was surprised.
