The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 243:

Alice looked at Gerry, her expression composed but unreadable.

“No.

”

“Maybe he’s stuck in traffic?” Gerry suggested, trying to defend Caden.

“It’s such a big event; there’s no way he’s going to miss it.

I’ll call him.

”

Alice quickly intervened, stopping him.

“No need.

If he can come, he will.

” Not wanting Gerry to discern her emotions, she added, “I’ll go and greet the guests.

”

Gerry followed her, about to ask if she and Caden had argued, when he suddenly saw a tall, striking man approaching Alicia with a bouquet of flowers.

“Miss Bennett,” the man greeted her cordially, his eyes filled with admiration and affection.

“Congratulations.

”

Gerry's curiosity was instantly piqued.

Who was that guy?

He carried himself with an air of importance, dressed in a tailored suit and a watch that probably cost a fortune.

It was clear that he was wealthy.

And now he was handing a bouquet to Alice while looking at her with an undeniable intensity.

Gerry's eyes sparkled with intrigue as he discreetly pulled out his phone, ready to capture the moment.

Alice accepted the flowers graciously, thanking him.

They chatted briefly, sharing laughs, an attitude that seemed friendly and comfortable, but not overly familiar.

Gerry found the perfect angle and took several photos.

After exchanging a few, Alicia placed the bouquet on the gift table and placed it among the other gifts from clients and friends.

The man noticed and seemed to understand the subtle message.

It was clear that he had feelings for her, but to Alice he was just a friend.

She accepted the roses so as not to hurt his feelings, but to Alice they were nothing more than a polite gesture.

Gerry wasted no time.

He quickly sent the photos to Caden, accompanied by a text message: “Why aren’t you here? Your rival in love has already made his move… with flowers!”
