The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 134:

Alicia was relieved to hear his question. She was relieved that that was all Joshua was worried about. She had been afraid he would ask, “Why did you conspire with Caden against me?”

Keeping his emotions in check, he replied, “Why are you asking me that?”

Joshua's tone was firm as he replied, "Just give me a straight answer. Yes or no."

"No," she replied flatly.

But Joshua was not convinced.

“Mrs. Gray has already left, but before she did, she mentioned that you and Caden were very close while you were at the Gray family’s house.” His expression darkened. “Don't you find it a little coincidental that the two of you were there at the same time? After you were injured, why was it Caden who saved you and took you to the hospital?”

Alice remained silent, her gaze fixed on him.

In her eyes, she could see not only anger, but also a flash of resentment. Perhaps there was even a hint of fear, although that seemed like an exaggeration. Alicia understood Joshua too well; his interest in her was always fleeting. He wouldn't really fear losing her.

Now that she had gathered enough evidence, she no longer felt the need to keep up her facade. She realized that the time had come to break her ties with him.

“There's actually something going on between Caden and me,” she said, a smile slowly creeping across her face.

Joshua shudded at her smile.

His words ignited her fury, and his calm demeanor only intensified her frustration.

“So why did you deny it before?” Joshua asked, his voice agitated.

Alicia shrugged, her indifference clear. “You asked if we were involved.”

“Is there really any difference?” she replied, her smile still lingering.

“Absolutely. Caden asked me if I wanted to be with him, but I haven't agreed to anything yet.”

He said whatever came to mind, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

So, she let out a sigh and lied through her teeth. “He claimed that he’s better than you, and that if I was with him, all my problems would disappear.”
