The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 536:

Alicia blinked in surprise, instinctively stepping back.

“Thanks, Blake, but I’m okay.

It’s just a little rain.”

Blake knew how Alicia felt about such gestures, so he tucked his jacket away and opened the car door.

“Come on, get in.

I’ll drive you home.”

Alicia hesitated, glancing down at her soaked clothes, but then climbed into the car.

Once inside, Blake handed her his jacket.

“Here, dry off a bit.

Don’t want you catching a cold.”

Instead of drying herself, Alicia draped it over her shoulders.

She brushed the rain from her face and said softly, “Sorry you had to witness that.”

Blake sighed.

“The Ward family’s always been like this—status-driven, highly educated, and a bit obsessed with appearances.

Alicia’s expression softened.
