The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 63:

Caden scoffed. “Then drink the whole bottle.”

Shelia was speechless. She was used to Caden's bluntness, but this level of directness still caught her off guard.

With a pat on Jerald's chest, he feigned kindness. “Leave it alone, Jerald. There’s no point in arguing with the younger generation.”

Whether it was the effect of the medicine or Shelia's attempt to comfort him, Jerald, though pale, said nothing more. He had long since accepted that Caden's personality was not one for argument. Arguing would not solve anything, and Jerald knew he could not risk worsening his health.

She took her hand away from Shelia. “Where is Joshua? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

Shelia smiled. “Joshua is always busy, staying late at work until eleven or twelve most nights. But I made sure to tell him we had dinner tonight, so he should be back by eight.”

I wanted Jerald to see how hard Joshua worked.

Just then, Jerald's eyes fell on Alicia. He blinked, disoriented by his illness. “Is that Alicia?”

Alicia approached slowly, her hands clasped in front of her. She replied softly, “Yes, Jerald.”

Jerald frowned. “Why are you so distant?”

Shelia chimed in excitedly. “Alicia and Joshua are divorced. Joshua is now engaged to Lilliana, the daughter of the Green family. “She is three months pregnant.”

Jerald, hearing the name “Green,” showed little reaction. “I don't get involved in young people's affairs. But why is Alicia still here after the divorce?”

Alice kept her head down, silent.

Shelia chuckled. “Joshua feels sorry for her. He lets her stay here to take care of you. And of course, he pays her monthly for it.”
