The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 245

Chapter 245:

Alicia's celebration party lasted until nine o'clock at night.

Thanks to meticulous planning and the presence of several seasoned drinkers, the atmosphere remained vibrant and the event ended on a high note.

Alicia took the time to personally see off each friend and client as they made their way to their car.

Finally, Gerry stopped.

“Alice, let me take you home,” he offered.

Home? Where? To the hotel?

Alicia hesitated, her thoughts drifting to Caden.

A wave of emptiness washed over her, leaving her uneasy.

She felt the need to clear her mind, to walk and gather her thoughts.

"You may go ahead, Mr.

Hopkins.

I have some work to finish at the office," he replied.

Gerry frowned, concern evident.

“Are you sure you’ll be safe alone?”

Before Alice could respond, a pair of headlights pierced the darkness and hit her directly in the eyes.

She raised a hand to shield herself and squinted as she watched the approaching car.

Recognition washed over her as she saw the familiar license plate.

Why was Caden showing up at this hour?

The car sped forward, tires screeching as it came to an abrupt stop, narrowly avoiding colliding with the rear of Gerry's vehicle.

Irritated and nervous, Gerry shouted: "Are you blind at the wheel?"

The engine stopped and the door opened.

Hank got out of the car.

Recognizing him, Gerry's tone softened.

"Oh, is that you?"

Hank exchanged a quick greeting with Gerry before turning to Alicia, urgency etched on his face.

"Mrs.

Bennett, we have a serious situation.

You need to come with me," he said in a tense voice.

Alice's heart sank.

"What does he mean? What does he mean?"

"Mr.
