The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1235:

Laney had been just nineteen when she joined the Hopkins family. Back then, she was young, unsure of herself, and still finding her place. To Cliff, she had always been a child. And even now, three years later, he still treated her like one.

Cliff didn’t respond. He turned back to the suitcase and reached for the last bag inside.

Before he could grab it, Laney’s hand shot out, snatching it first. But it was too late—he had already seen the outline through the fabric. It was her underwear.

“Cliff, you should go now,” Laney said hurriedly, opening the wardrobe door and turning her back to him as if to disappear into its shadows.

“I need to shower and rest.”

Cliff gave a quiet nod, stepping back, but something caught his eye. Inside the suitcase, a small bracelet lay forgotten.

Cliff picked it up and stared at it for a moment, recognition dawning. It was the bracelet from their trip to the church. The priest had called it a symbol of everlasting love, a promise of growing old side by side.

Laney stiffened. Her expression faltered, but she quickly reached out and took it from him.
