The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 84:

Alicia started and spun around. At some point, Caden must have silently moved behind her. His gaze was as cold as ice.

Feeling a surge of guilt, she almost dropped the cup she was holding. She forced a smile and said, “Didn't I ask you to stay in the kitchen? What are you doing here?”

Caden replied ominously, “If I hadn't come, would I have discovered the big surprise you've prepared for me?”

Alice found herself speechless. Even though her prank had been an impromptu idea, she remained cautious. Still, she managed to catch her.

Sensing the icy tension radiating from Caden, Alicia knew better than to argue. With a reluctant sigh, she poured the toilet water down the drain. Then, she stood up straight and put her hands behind her back. She bowed her head and remained silent.

Caden towered over her, his broad chest making him look even more imposing. When his expression changed to one of stern authority, he looked like a strict schoolteacher reprimanding a misbehaving student.

Alice remained silent and obedient, but her defiant posture showed that she would not back down. She stared at his hand.

“Why are you still holding that cup?” I have asked. “What? Are you going to refill it when I leave you alone?”

Alicia's lips twitched slightly as she threw the cup aside. She could tell that Caden was really angry, but after knowing him for so many years, she had witnessed his worst moods and felt no fear.

Her curiosity got the best of her. “How did you know I was planning to play a prank on you?”

Caden felt a wave of nausea as he recalled the earlier scene. At first, he hadn't suspected anything, but something in his gut urged him to check on Alicia.
