The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 149:

She leaned forward instinctively, her lips glistening softly in the dim light, a subtle sheen that made them even more appetizing. To Caden, they were far more tempting than the food in front of him.

His gaze lingered on them for a moment.

Alice noticed.

His expression hardened, though he tried to hide it. He silently placed the half-eaten chicken wing on his plate.

Caden blinked, momentarily speechless. He could do this, he could show more care, especially since she was still recovering from their earlier intimacy. “I’m not interested in your chicken wing,” he said, his voice low. “I'm interested in your lips.”

Alice was speechless.

His insinuation did not go unnoticed.

She fought the urge to roll her eyes, silently complaining to herself. Hadn't they kissed enough before?

Why was he still so obsessed with her?

What was the problem with the lips?

With a quick, deliberate movement, he snatched away the chicken wing she had just handed over.

Caden raised his eyebrows, once again taken back by her unapologetic behavior.

But instead of teasing her further, he got the conversation back on track. “I'm taking you to a banquet at the end of this month. Start preparing now.”

Alice was curious. “What's the reason?”

"To make you feel better."

His eyes lit up in intrigue. “And how do you plan to do that? “When is the banquet?”

Caden opened his mouth as if to respond, then reconsidered, his words withdrawn as quickly as they had come. “I'll let you know when the time comes. Just so you know, it will be before the end of the month.”

Alice's lips curved down in disappointment.
