The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 194:

She stood still, overwhelmed. As memories of the past few months with Caden flooded back, her anguish grew.

She tried to calm herself, dismissing it as something unimportant. So what if he had hidden agendas? She had hers too.

He sought her out physically because it highlighted his need for medication, while she relied on his help to manage Joshua.

Throughout their intimate time together, he had been nothing but kind to her. Could he really be devoid of any real affection? Not even a little?

Alice struggled to shake off the bitterness that was gathering in her heart.

How absurd. How could someone like Caden easily develop feelings for her? He didn't like her, did he?

His closeness was only to avoid medication.

With a sarcastic smile, she took several deep breaths. She felt relieved that she had discovered the truth before her feelings grew too much.

Their arrangement was coming to an end, and parting ways after sorting everything out seemed manageable. However, breaking the routine of being constantly together could prove to be quite a challenge.

By then, Alice had regained her composure.

He approved and passed it to her to check.
