The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 892:

Caden was momentarily taken aback.

After settling into the car, Caden asked, “How did you figure out I was only pretending with Lucilla?”

Alicia buckled her seatbelt. “If she truly valued ethics and cared about not damaging relationships, she wouldn’t offer herself in exchange for financial help.” The inconsistency in her character was glaring.

“But your flaw is more evident,” Alicia added. “If Lucilla really annoyed you, you wouldn’t have allowed her to linger around you for days, nor would you have accompanied me to visit her in the hospital.”

Alicia had her suspicions initially, but such behavior didn’t align with Caden’s usual demeanor, prompting only a faint suspicion in her heart.
