The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 527:

Meanwhile, Alicia had assumed Caden wouldn’t be coming home, so she showered early and tried to sleep.

Yet, rest eluded her, an uneasy feeling lingering.

When Caden returned, he only glanced into the master bedroom before heading to the couch, settling in for the night.

Hearing his movements, Alicia got up and quietly approached him.

She found him lying there with a weariness she rarely saw.

Noticing her, he asked, “You’re still awake?”

Alicia moved closer and instinctively held his hand.

“Are you tired?”

Caden rarely let his exhaustion show around her, but tonight, as soon as he lay down, he sank into the cushions, too drained even to speak.

“Yeah, I’m worn out,” he admitted, barely opening his eyes.

“Good night.”

Touched by his fatigue, Alicia slipped off her slippers and curled up beside him on the couch.

Caden frowned.
