The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 135:

? ? ? ? ?

Outside the room, Georgia and Shelia had been listening to the whole situation unfold.

Alicia tried to reach for Joshua, but without hesitation, he pushed her back.

He handed his phone to Georgia. “Don't let her leave until I get back.”

Georgia didn't hesitate to follow his orders. She picked up the phone and put it away. "Yes, Mr. Yates!"

Alicia made a desperate attempt to retrieve her phone, but Joshua pushed her back into the room and slammed the door shut, locking it behind him.

She pounded on the door, shouting verbal threats, but no matter how much she screamed, Joshua ignored her. He had more important things on his mind and he felt he had to do something like this.

Keeping her locked up for a day or two didn't seem like a problem. It wouldn't change anything, but it would allow her to release some of the frustration that was bubbling up inside her.

Lilliana noticed the red mark on her cheek as soon as she walked in. “Who slapped you?” she asked.

Joshua had almost forgotten about the handprint on his face.

He touched his cheek, quickly making up an excuse. “My father.”

"Why would I hit you?"

"It was just a minor disagreement. He's been unstable because of his illness, so I didn't take it personally."

Lilliana studied the mark closely. Whoever had struck her had delicate fingers. The handprint looked more like that of a woman than a man.

Although she still had her suspicions, Lilliana hid them well and gently rubbed her cheek. Nearby, Gina excused herself.
