The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

The room fell into a brief silence. Caden pursed his lips before answering, “Did he really say that?”

“When I was with Ciara, I heard him subtly ask about your love life. “He even mentioned waiting for Yolanda to finish her studies before bringing up the subject with you.” As relatives of the bride, they wouldn't be too deferential. It would only tarnish their image.

Caden seemed to think about it for a moment before falling silently again.

Blake wasn't opposed to the idea. "Ciara feels the same way. You and Yolanda can discuss whether you want to have kids or not. If things don't work out, you can go your separate ways. Just remember what's most important."

It was Caden who had initially sought a deal with the Moss family. Being in a weaker negotiating position, he was forced to make some concessions.

“Are you seeing someone?” Blake asked, sensing Caden's hesitation.

Caden replied slowly, “No.”

“Then it's okay. It’s no sacrifice for you,” Blake replied.

Caden hesitated for a moment before saying, “That’s true.” His tone was indifferent. “Get some rest. “I’m going to bed.”

After ending the call, Caden slowly closed his eyes, tapping the armrest of the couch, his brows furrowed in thought. Why had things taken such a sudden turn?

At nine in the morning, Alice finally got out of bed. Caden was in the dining room talking on the phone, with breakfast already on the table. Aching and weak, Alice moved slowly, leaning on the table.

Caden held the phone in one hand and wrapped his other arm around her.
