The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 423:

After Alicia returned to her apartment, she began seeing Caden more frequently.

Knowing her fascination with technology, Caden often brought her along to tech events.

Previously, he hadn’t taken a female companion to these events, so when he started bringing her, attendees humorously inquired if she was his girlfriend.

Caden confirmed it without hesitation.

Although Alicia had been prepared for this shift, she still felt uncomfortable with all the attentive looks and flashes from cameras.

There had been a time when she longed for a formal acknowledgment of their relationship, but Caden had denied her that.

Now, with the title, she became acutely aware of the disparity a status could bring.

Though she managed a gallery in Warrington and her financial situation had improved, she was still nowhere near the level of an international entrepreneur like Caden.

Additionally, Alicia was strikingly beautiful, and in such circles, beauty often overshadowed talent, making her a target for ridicule.

When Caden was absent, her presence became the subject of overt or subtle discussion.
