The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 156:

Caden was at home, absorbed in work when Jerald's call came.

Alicia was lying on the couch next to him, preparing for her lessons. When she heard Jerald's voice, she discreetly moved to the balcony to give Caden some privacy.

The balcony door was soundproof, ensuring that they would not disturb each other.

Alice settled back, hoping to concentrate on her preparations.

However, it wasn't long before his notes became disorganized and chaotic.

His thoughts kept returning to the room.

Unable to resist the temptation, he took a look inside.

Although she couldn't hear the conversation, Alicia could see Caden's expression quite clearly.

His lips moved occasionally, indicating that he was responding with some words.

For the most part, his expression remained unchanged. However, after spending so much time with him, I could sense his displeasure.

It was clear that Jerald's words were especially harsh. Alicia was well acquainted with Jerald's temperament. No matter how successful Caden became, he always remained the unappreciated son in Jerald's eyes. True to form, Jerald was not content with scolding Caden, but resorted to physical violence. He hit Caden so hard that it seemed like he didn't care if he caused serious harm.

Alicia absentmindedly flipped through her book, but her attention returned to the room when she noticed that Caden had hung up the phone.

He seemed as calm as ever and quickly returned to his work.

Alice touched her nose, opened the door and entered the room.

Uncertain of Caden's mood, she refrained from asking him directly and instead sought herself with various tasks.

I fiddled with a vase for a moment.

Then he looked at the bookshelf and glanced at its contents.

Then I filled a glass with water.

Caden remained deeply focused on his work, not even looking up.
