The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 57:

Shelia deeply appreciated her son. It had not been easy for her to conceive him.

When the Yates family was at its peak, Jerald was a prominent figure: intelligent, hard-working, and supported by a wife with considerable experience, making the Yates family seem invulnerable.

Shelia was the exception, having captured Jerald's affections outside the presence of his powerful wife. She went from being his lover to becoming his confidant, and used her beauty effectively. However, over time, Jerald's interest began to fade, which also affected his relationship with Joshua.

Joshua, however, had proven his resilience over the years. Shelia, witness to all his hardships, was determined not to let any mistake threaten his future.

Alice understood the insinuation and refused. "I don't want anything."

Joshua's gaze intensified, as if he saw her in a new light. He leaned in to kiss her, but Alicia turned quickly, spotting an ally.

“Shelia!” I have shouted.
