The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 408:

Noticing the look on her face, Caden asked, “Are you working late tonight?”

Hoping to speed things up, Alicia answered calmly, “No.”

“Is Blake at the same hotel as you?”

“Yeah.”

“Is your room close to his?”

Caden leaned in, his voice soft as he continued, “Just be honest with me, and I’ll let you go back sooner.”

Alicia suddenly went quiet.

Her heart tightened again, just as she had started to relax.

She had a feeling Caden wouldn’t let her off that easily.

“No, we’re two floors apart,” she said calmly.

Caden teased, “Aren’t you counting on him to protect you? If something happens, do you really think he can make it in time from two floors away?”

Alicia shrugged.

“Oh, then I’ll just switch to the room next to his tonight.”

Caden’s smile faded.
