The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 142:

Hank silently promised himself that he would pass on the details of the conversation to Caden, hoping that it might cheer him up. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they parted ways.

Alicia was the first to leave the building. As she left, Caden, who was parked by the road, noticed her. He looked back at her as she walked, watching her through the car window. She was out of sight, unaware of his presence. His eyes followed her every move, studying her from head to toe.

Although he did not appear to have any visible injuries, his gait was noticeably different. He seemed to be standing on one foot, his steps were hesitant, and he barely lifted one foot off the ground.

Caden couldn't help but think sarcastically, "Why didn't she hit her head? Maybe that would make her see reason."

Meanwhile, Hank, wanting to back up his made-up story, grabbed a box of digestive pills and walked back to the car. Caden gave him a quick glance, but didn't say anything.

Hank started the car and the two lapse into a brief silence.

After a moment, Caden commented, "You came back quickly."

Hank agreed. “Yes, Mr. Ward. “My long legs help.”

Caden didn't answer, and the rest of the ride back to the company was spent in silence. Caden stared out the window, his expression unreadable, while Hank glanced at him from time to time, wondering if he had any questions or thoughts to share. Deciding that Caden's silence meant he wasn't interested in talking, Hank fell silent.

After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Caden finally broke it, frowning. “What happened at the pharmacy?”

Hank shook the bag of pills lightly, looking at Caden. “I just picked up the digestive pills, Mr. Ward.”

Caden's eyes narrowed. “And what else happened?”

Hank hesitated, then continued, “Miss Bennett had some great words to say about you.”

Caden’s expression darkened slightly. “What exactly did he say?”
