The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1016:

Alicia’s lips twitched. “When did I ever care about him?” She might’ve felt a twinge of sympathy, but it wasn’t enough to actually care. Besides, this whole thing was just their way of testing Corey’s real intentions. If Corey had gone through with kidnapping Alicia and taking her heart, it would’ve been clear he was beyond saving, and Caden wouldn’t have hesitated to finish him off. But Corey backed off when the anesthesia didn’t work, and that moment of hesitation ended up sparing his life. Alicia looked at Caden, poking his palm with her finger. “Caden, you get why I’m playing these games with Corey.”

Caden locked eyes with her, sensing the sincerity in her gaze. After all these years together, all those intimate nights, how could he not know what she was planning?
