The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 751:

Caden glanced up at the elevator panel. The car was descending slowly, stopping at each floor.

He turned her around so she faced him instead, her cheek against his chest. His shirt carried no cologne, only the faint scent of fabric softener. The simplicity of it felt comforting.

In the privacy of the elevator, Caden’s hand slid down to intertwine with hers. She flinched slightly, her fingers brushing against the ring on his hand.

His grip tightened as if afraid she might vanish the next second.

He might have said nothing if things hadn’t reached this breaking point. A pang of bittersweet emotion swept through her.
