The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 359:

The assistant shifted uncomfortably, glancing around as if the walls held the answer.

Knowing the strain between Alicia and Caden, she didn’t dare give too much away.

“I’m not certain… probably not for a month or so.”

A shadow of impatience crossed Caden’s face just as Gerry arrived.

Before Gerry could even ask anything, Caden spoke, his voice cold and casual.

“Don’t bother.

She’s not here.”

Gerry blinked, at a loss for words.

Caden had originally booked a dinner reservation for the evening, but the thought of going now felt pointless.

With a dismissive wave, he handed the reservation off to Gerry, then returned to his empty apartment, placing the bouquet he had bought in a vase.

The vibrant petals, still full of life, were a painful reminder of Alicia’s absence from his life.

Lately, the distance between them had become more than just physical.

Months had passed with more silence than conversation, more space than closeness.
