The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 817:

Later, at a rooftop restaurant, Gerry had arranged a dinner with Caden.

“I heard you met with Corey today. Did you get to see Alicia?” Gerry asked, leaning in with a smirk.

Caden replied indifferently, “We only discussed business. Alicia has nothing to do with that.”

Gerry clicked his tongue.

“Come on, we’re close enough for you to drop the act.” Time had changed them all. Gerry’s keen eyes could now read Caden like a book.

Caden looked out the window, watching Christmas celebrations unfold below, with snow dusting the streets of Warrington. When the Hampton Group launched its new product, Caden knew the design came from Alicia, but he had assumed that she was merely a shareholder.

Two long years had passed. Caden had waited to give Alicia space and to find his own growth, relying on the occasional blurred photos sent by the private detective he hired. However, upon learning that her safety was at risk, he could wait no longer.

“Three more months,” Caden said, almost to himself.
