The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 451:

Alicia hesitated, feeling a hint of dread.

“I might have to work late tonight.”

Caden’s gaze held steady.

“No excuses.

Seeing he was serious, Alicia was a little stunned, her face falling.

Caden flashed a roguish smile.

“Do you always believe what a man says in bed?”

Alicia was momentarily at a loss for words, her mind drifting back to the previous night — the warmth of his embrace, the intensity in his gaze.

His whispers, raw and vulnerable, had left her defenses down, her heart feeling something she hadn’t anticipated.

Now, in the clear light of day, she felt foolish for ever trusting those words.

How could she have believed him so completely in the heat of the moment?
