The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 455:

As Alicia turned to lead the way, she felt a gaze lingering on her back.

She glanced over her shoulder and saw Caden watching her intently.

In the sweltering summer heat, Caden’s casually worn custom shirt exuded an air of relaxed confidence.

As he strode over, Alicia couldn’t help but smile.

“I thought you weren’t coming?”

Seeing him now filled her heart with joy and warmth.

Caden noticed the blush creeping onto her cheeks, a clear sign of her attraction, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“I was just having dinner nearby and thought I’d swing by to see how you handle big clients.” His teasing tone made Alicia playfully pinch his waist, only to discover it was solid muscle beneath her fingers.

She really wanted to know how many times a day he needed to train to achieve this level of definition.

Leading Alicia into the private room, Caden spotted Corey admiring the sunflower painting, a gentle smile gracing Corey’s lips and warmth flickering in his eyes.

Such a sight was rare for him.

Caden pondered silently, thinking that perhaps Corey had a special someone in his heart.
