The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 80:

? ? ? ? ?

Alice's heart skipped a beat before it began to race uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Hank intervened just in time. “It's just the flu going around. Nothing unusual about it. “I’ve had a stuffy nose lately, too.”

Hearing that, Gerry's suspicion seemed to fade. "For a second, I thought Caden and Alicia had kissed. It scared the shit out of me." Alicia had no words for that.

So what if they did?

Gerry chuckled. “Randolph really hit the jackpot with a wife like Rachel. If I were his wife, I would have left him after today's fiasco.”

That caught Alice's attention. "How does Randolph treat Rachel when they're alone?"

Gerry didn't know all the details, but he'd heard enough. "Randolph is quite the ladies' man. He flirts with his old lovers and tries to get any attractive woman into bed. Honestly, I thought he had that intention with you before."

Alice clenched her fists tighter.

No wonder she felt so uncomfortable around him.

He asked, "Does Rachel have no idea what she's up to?"

“How could I not know? Even I do,” Gerry replied with a smirk. “People in love can be maddening. She knows it, but she pretends not to know. Her family is not well off and she depends on Randolph for everything, so she has this feeling of inferiority.”

After saying that, Gerry looked unsure and turned to Caden. “Isn’t that right, Caden?”

Caden replied nonchalantly, “Yeah, fools in love never learn, do they?”

Alice felt her jaw tighten.

Caden was implying something.

Although she hadn't been overly submissive to Joshua back then, she had made many sacrifices to repay his kindness. To others, she probably seemed just as infatuated.
