The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 216:

Alicia was surprised by the intensity of her own reaction.

Ever since she saw Yolanda, she had been deeply upset, acutely aware of her lingering feelings for Caden and the presence of another woman.

She tried to comfort herself, to distance herself, to convince herself that it didn't matter.

However, when Caden touched her, her facade crumbled.

She pursed her lips, looking away as she said, "I'm sure you don't want others to get the wrong idea, Mr.

Ward.

"

Caden responded with a grimace.

"What misconception?" he replied coldly.

Alicia was speechless, her lips still pressed together.

She was tormented by the memory of his concern for Yolanda and how he had dismissed her gift as if it meant nothing.

Now, before him, she felt completely humiliated.

Trying to leave, Alicia turned to get into the car, but Caden grabbed her wrist and roughly pulled her back.

“Are you that hypocritical, Alice?” His dark, disapproving eyes locked with hers.

“You act like a stranger when we’re not in bed,” he accused her.

His grip was painful, but her heart felt nothing.

Not wishing to confront him, she replied softly, “We have made our position clear.

What is it that you don’t understand?”

“I understand.

But do you understand?” he replied.

“If you wanted to end things, why did you come to me afterwards?”

Alice paused, surprised by the question, and then realized her mistake.

Avoiding his gaze, she confessed, “I wanted to apologize.

”

Caden's grimace deepened, his disbelief evident.

His smile sent a chill down her spine.

It was clear that he doubted her sincerity.

Anger and confusion had filled Alice that night.
