The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 172:

? ? ? ? ?

This was Caden's first visit here. Their relationship wasn't public, so they rarely appeared together outside. But with the study almost deserted at this hour, Alicia felt comfortable and led him into the living room.

Alicia took some time to freshen up and change her clothes. Meanwhile, Caden sat silently, deep in thought.

When Alice reappeared, her mood seemed dull and apathetic. She didn't rush to leave. Instead, she joined Caden and drank from the same glass of water he had just used.

Noticing his low mood, Caden asked, “What's wrong?” Have you lost a match really taken all your energy?”

Alicia shook her head. “It's not about winning or losing.” She hadn't planned to share it, but Caden's question stirred a feeling of injustice in her. “Why did he cheat on me?”

Caden kept his composure. “What he did was wrong, but consider it a lesson. You haven’t really lost anything.”

Alice frowned. “You're not my teacher. Why are you reading me?”

“So what should I say?” Caden replied, his tone even. “Would you rather I comfort you?”

Alice was silent. Now that would be strange.

Offering advice was typical of Caden, but this time, it felt different.

Alice took another sip of water, then remembered an earlier incident. “Did you notice when he was choking me?”

“Yes,” Caden replied, his expression unreadable.
