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.
