The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 181:

Caden stared at Joshua with an unreadable smile. “Mr. Yates, your problems can’t be too bad if you still feel inclined to notice women,” he commented.

After speaking, Caden entered the room with long, determined steps. Mr. Wade immediately stood up and pulled a chair out for him. He then cast a sideways glance at Alicia. She lifted the hem of her dress as she entered the room and sat down on the chair. Mr. Wade was momentarily taken back, glanced at her once more before turning around and leaving the room with a meaningful look.

Joshua had been watching the whole scene and said sarcastically, “Well done, Alicia. “You’ve managed to win over a man like Caden.”

Alice understood exactly what he meant. “You are giving me too much credit. Mr. Ward is helping me out of kindness,” she replied. She smiled and added: “When you are with Miss Green you are so low and obsequious. In that respect Mr. Ward could never compare with you.”

Caden narrowed his eyes. Who was he attacking with that comment?

Joshua slowly clenched his fists. He didn't really believe Alicia could win Caden over, but now he seemed to care. Even if it was nothing more than a fleeting romance, the connection between Alicia and Caden fueled Joshua's fury.

The more Joshua contemplated the situation, the angrier he became. They had barely entered the room and he already felt an overwhelming urge to leave. He pushed back his chair and stood up abruptly.

Caden watched Joshua's sudden movement and asked, "What's wrong? Have you decided you don't want me to lend you the money after all?"

His pride wounded, Joshua replied, “That’s none of your business.”

Just as he was about to leave, Alice intervened: “Why the rush? If you are not interested in the loan, perhaps we can talk about the painting.”
