The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 60:

Shelia flinched, uneasiness washing over her instantly. She was worried that Caden might have heard her. But then, she reminded herself that Jerald was awake and would support her. What could Caden do? She would have no choice but to play along.

Putting on a smile, she said, “Caden, it's pouring outside. Why don't you stay for a while? “Skip the office today and have dinner with Jerald.”

She expected him to refuse, but to her surprise, he simply said, “Okay.”

She stared at him, momentarily surprised. Caden raised an eyebrow. “Caden raised an eyebrow. “Were you expecting me to refuse?”

Shelia forced a smile. "No no. I'm just… glad you're staying. It’s so weird.”

Caden stood there stone-faced. He could see right through her, knowing her kindness was nothing more than an act. But he had no patience and turned back toward the guest room without another word.

Alice hobbled back to her room, pulling up her dress to check her knee. It wasn't seriously hurt, but a bruise had already started to form. She let out a heavy sigh. It seemed like karma was coming fast for her.

But why had Caden never faced any consequences for his actions?

She opened the closet and found some clothes she had left behind before the divorce, then headed to the bathroom. As she entered, she was overwhelmed by the presence of Joshua's things everywhere. Her stomach turned. She closed the door and went to find another room.

The upstairs rooms were all private, so she picked one at random to clean up in. Pushing open the door, she stopped dead in her tracks. Caden was standing by the bathroom door, in his underwear. His hands were hooked around his waist, ready to pull them down when he noticed her.

He stood still, his sharp eyes boring into hers.

Alicia stood there, stunned, unable to look away from her almost perfect abs. She was speechless.

Caden's physique was impeccable from head to toe. It was a shame that his personality was as sharp as his tongue.

For a moment, she stood completely mesmerized, lost in her daze, unable to speak or move.
