The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 206:

Caden's face showed little emotion, but Gerry could sense his irritation.

“No,” Caden replied curtly.

Gerry, enjoying Caden's discomfort, continued to provoke him.

He detailed Alicia's recent problems, exaggerating them to make her seem particularly unfortunate.

“He’s alienated a lot of people.

I doubt he’ll last the whole year,” he mused, tapping his chin.

“What a tragedy for someone so promising.

”

Caden remained stoic, his attention still focused on the newspaper, not responding.

"People die every day.

Why should we mourn them?" he said, his tone devoid of emotion.

“You don’t have any sympathy for her?” Gerry jabbed, watching Caden intently.

"I don't have time for this," Caden dismissed.

“What if something happened to him? Would you intervene?” Gerry asked, smiling knowingly.

“No,” Caden replied quickly and without emotion.

“You didn’t even hesitate,” Gerry observed in disbelief.

“You once saved her when you were competitors.

Now that you have feelings for her, aren’t you going to act?”

Caden frowned.

“Why do you think I care about her?” Ever since Alicia had left, Caden hadn’t given her another thought.

He had returned to his strict routine, immersing himself in work, making sure not to waste any time.

He had even managed to visit the Joy Mansion during his hectic schedule.

However, Gerry, ever the idler, commented: “You avoid the truth by burying yourself in work.
