The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 68:

? ? ? ? ?

Alicia tried to pull away from Caden. “Just a casual question,” she said, trying to regain some distance.

Caden laughed softly, unfazed by the blow he had received earlier. Nothing seemed to bother him.

I leaned in slightly, breathing in Alicia's scent.

His movement brought their skin into contact, and his cool lips lightly brushed her cheek. The contact lingered, a reminder of the tension in the air.

Alicia, trying to amuse the conversation, asked, “That punch was meant for me. Why did you help me?” She had always assumed that Caden didn't appreciate her.

His answer was vague. “Instinct.”

Alice was silent for a moment.

She thought about pressing him, asking him why his instincts had led him to protect her, but something held her back. She felt too uncomfortable.

And with someone like Caden, she knew she wouldn't get a straight answer anyway. He would most likely just make fun of her.

The moment passed and Alice finished bandaging the wound.

“That's it, all set,” she said, ready to get out of the car. But Caden wasn't about to let her go. He pulled her close, holding her close.

“Where are you going?” he asked, his grip gentle but strong enough to keep her in place.

They were so close that Alice couldn't look away.

Her eyes were fixed on his.

She felt trapped, unable to look away from him. “I'll be back,” she murmured, unsure of herself under the intensity of the moment. She felt like she couldn't stay here, in this intimate space with Caden, without her mind wandering to those embarrassing dreams she'd been having.

Caden narrowed his eyes slightly. “Are you really going to walk out of here and go straight to Joshua’s bed?”

Alice instinctively shook her head. "No."
