The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 531:

As the ice cream in Alicia’s hand started to melt, Caden grabbed it and tossed it aside without a second thought.

“My parents are no longer here, so when it comes to marriage, I call the shots,” he said firmly.

“My uncle’s role is to give his blessings — not his opinions.”

Alicia’s breath hitched.

For some reason, she was at a loss for words.

Her gaze locked with Caden’s dark, intense eyes.

A thousand words danced on the tip of her tongue, yet she couldn’t voice a single one.

A faint smile curved on Caden’s lips, as if he were about to say, “Alicia, will you marry me?” His tender look was overwhelming, pulling her in like a gentle tide.

“Alicia,” he murmured.

Alicia felt like the air had been sucked from her lungs, leaving her staring, dazed.

Was he really about to say it? Was he about to propose? Why now, and so suddenly?

How was she supposed to respond? Should she say yes or give him a good smack for choosing such an unromantic moment?
