The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 559:

“My uncle can be blunt, but he means well.

As my grandparents’ eldest son, he can’t afford to be mild if he’s going to uphold the Ward family.”

He cared too much — that was why Caden’s mother had been too trusting, deceived by Jerald’s facade.

As his sister, she had been raised with love and protection but ended up with such heartbreak.

No one felt that more keenly than he did.

For a moment, Caden’s expression darkened.

Alicia understood he was torn, but she wasn’t willing to give in.

“Give me some time to calm down,” she said evenly.

“You go back today.

Just pull over up ahead, and I’ll get out.”

Caden kept driving.

Only when they reached a red light did he stop.

“This isn’t going to resolve itself with time.

Better to face it now.

Let me handle it,” he said.

Alicia clenched her fists.
