The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 72:

? ? ? ? ?

When Alicia entered the room with Raquel, she immediately noticed the scene unfolding before her. A beautiful woman, who was shyly showing something to Caden on her phone, was being ignored by him. He kept his head down, appearing totally disinterested and distant. It was enough to make anyone feel frustrated. Gerry, visibly annoyed, addressed the woman in a dismissive tone.

"You're missing the point. Mr Ward doesn't like women," he said.

The woman looked surprised, clearly shocked by his audacity. Gerry, unable to hide his jealousy, continued: “Yes, I am in a relationship with Mr Ward. “I am his partner.”

Only then did Caden look up, giving Gerry a cold glance but making no further comment.

Meanwhile, Alicia caught Caden's eye as she approached. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched her approach, his expression unreadable.

Nearby, Randolph, with his arm around Rachel, greeted them cheerfully. “Mr. Ward, Mr. Hopkins!”

Alicia leaned closer to Rachel, feeling more comfortable in her company. Dressed in a loose sweater and subtle makeup, Alicia struck a balance that was eye-catching without being overbearing.

She couldn't help but notice that Caden looked exhausted, as if he'd spent a sleepless night filled with more than just restlessness. He looked drained and disheveled, possibly from a passionate and stormy encounter the night before.

As they settled in, Gerry, finding amusement in the situation, beckoned Alice. “Eat here, Alice. “Sit with us.”

His attitude towards her was casual and platonic. However, Randolph interpreted it differently, casting a meaningful glance at Alicia. It was something she wanted to avoid, especially since Randolph was close to Joshua. She couldn't risk Randolph's words getting back to him.

To keep her distance and avoid any misunderstandings, Alice excused herself and sat further away.
