The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

As Hank settled into the car, he grumbled, "Warrington is colder than anywhere I've ever been."

In other cities, winters were filled with endless snowstorms. The snow piled up so high that when someone ventured outside, their shoes disappeared beneath it.

But in Warrington it was different.

Elsewhere, the cold was dry and bearable, but here, sleet soaked everything, leaving a damp chill that chilled to the bone.

Caden wiped raindrops from his coat and stared out the window, his expression distant. “I don't find anything attractive about this city,” he said. “Not the people, not the weather.”

If it weren't for his late mother, he would never have come back here.

Hank chuckled. “That's a little unfair. Isn’t Mrs. Bennett quite nice?”

A hint of softness appeared in Caden's eyes, but he quickly frowned, a thought crossing his mind. “She’s quite demanding,” I muttered.

Hank noticed that although Caden's expression remained stern, there was a hint of indulgence in his tone. Although Caden complained about Alicia, it was clear that he tolerated her and listened to her.

Hank couldn't help but chuckle. “Isn't that nice? She challenges you and scolds you, but she also stirs up your emotions and makes you happy. It’s better than burying yourself in work all the time.”

“Who says I'm happy?” Caden replied.

“You're not?” Hank pressed. “Yesterday, when Mrs. Bennett came to pick you up at the airport, you must have known she was coming. You were excited from the moment you stepped onto the plane. “I’ve never seen you so excited about a business trip.”

Caden had no answer.
