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.

Before leaving the estate, Joshua visited Alicia in the garden.

“It looks like it's going to rain. Don’t stay out too long,” he advised, putting his arm around her waist. “Are you hiding so they don't see you?” I have asked.

Alice nodded, subtly moving her hand away. “There are too many eyes around. “It’s best not to get too close,” she suggested, her voice softer than usual.

Joshua knew her well. Despite the difficult circumstances, Alicia maintained her pride. She knew she was in a difficult situation and that patience would be necessary.

“Do you like any jewelry? “I’ll bring you some when I get back tonight,” he offered, hinting at his intention to stay overnight.

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.
