The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

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.

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.”

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

Jerald frowned. “Why are you so distant?”

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.”
