The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 175: ????? Alicia sat down at the table and began to eat her breakfast. Caden, with a serious expression, pulled up a chair and joined her.

As she picked up the fork, Alice slapped her hand away. "Do you think you can just eat? If you're hungry, make yourself something." Caden was momentarily speechless. It was the first tanyone had shown him such contempt. His pride was too great to swallow.

He leaned back, arms crossed, and stared at her. "Joshua may not be able to get his hands on that two hundred million dollars, but he'll surely find other ways to fund his business. Do you wantto ask you for money?" Alice stopped chewing. The offer was tempting. She looked at him closely. "I have sfunds, but would you really grow before me?" "I have my ways," Caden replied, his brief words carrying weight.

She was confident Caden could handle it. Imagining Joshua pleading amused her, dissolving her irritation.

She slid her plate towards him. "Go ahead. Eat." Caden didn't move. "No, thanks. "I need my omelet." Ever flexible, Alicia stood up. "I'll get it ready now." A smile played on Caden's lips. “But you said you were short on time?" "Wait," Alicia replied, quickly getting to work. Meanwhile, Caden calmly sipped his coffee and wolfed down his sandwich.

When Alice cback with the omelette, she found the table empty. She looked around in confusion. "You didn't want omelette?" "I've changed my mind." Caden used a napkin to wipe his mouth and left the room.

Alicia clenched her jaw. "You asked for an omelette, I make it for you, and now you refuse to eat it? What's wrong with you?" As Caden put on his coat, he nonchalantly replied, "Our agreement never specified that I had to have an omelet for breakfast." Alice's frustration reached its peak. "Caden, you idiot!" He just smiled. "I'm always a jerk." Turning to the tail-wagging pup, I called out. "Eat here. Won't you cwith me?" Still angry, Alice protested. "Why does the puppy have to fire you? "You can't give him orders." "Do you need my help or not?" Caden replied coldly.

Alice was speechless. She moved quickly, grabbing the puppy. "Go away!" she snapped.

Caden, who had been in a bad mood all night, felt his spirits lift as he watched her leave.

Once Ciara arrived in Warrington, she settled in quietly, making sure not to disturb Caden. Caden made tto visit her and hired maids and a chauffeur to drive her around.

"I'll get you a bodyguard in the next few days," he added, removing the blood pressure monitor, checking the readings - all normal - and handing it to the maid standing nearby.

Ciara watched him closely. "You seem to like the local cuisine." Caden could tell she was digging for information, but he preferred not to reveal anything about Alicia, not wanting to give Ciara false hope.

"I have swork to do, so I'm leaving now," he said. "I'll be busy tomorrow, but I'll visit you the day after tomorrow." Ciara hesitated, then spoke: "Yolanda got in touch with me. She's aware that I'm in Warrington long-term and wants to look after me." Caden deadpanned, "That's your business. Handle it as you see fit." "But she's coming for you," Ciara said dryly. "Naturally, I want your opinion. Who will it be? The woman you're currently with or her?" "It's your decision," Caden replied, his voice indifferent.

Ciara smiled knowingly. "So, there's someone else here with you." Caden paused briefly. Then, raising an eyebrow, he asked, "When have I ever implied that?" "You didn't givea straight answer when I asked you to choose. It's obvious you feel guilty," Ciara said.

"You misunderstood me." Caden stood up and instructed the maid, “Let her rest for a bit and then take her to enjoy the music. Make sure she keeps herself busy." Ciara was speechless.

Walking down the stairs, Caden got into his car and asked Hank, “Has Alicia contacted you?" Hank looked confused. "Why would Mrs. Bennett contact me?" Caden remained silent.

They had not spoken since their disagreement earlier in the day, and with morning approaching, he wondered if she had secured the invitation. Mr. Wade did not know her, and the guests were notable figures. Who could she turn to for help?

Then Hank recalled, "We tried the proposal that Ms. Bennett presented the other day, and the response has been quite favorable. "We are just waiting for her approval to begin mass production and launch." Caden raised an eyebrow. "He certainly has a knack for this." Hank nodded with a smile, saying, "Miss Bennett really does have a gift." When Alice was in school, everyone understood her abilities.

That night, when Caden returned to the apartment, he found Alicia busy in the study. At first, he didn't bother ve her, but als midnight approached and she hadn't yet retired to bed, his concern got the better of him and he knocked on the study door. Alice quickly covered the papers on her desk and looked up, her eyes red and tired. "Forks?" Caden stood at the door. "Eleven a day. It's about time." Alice replied coldly: "I'm on my period." "Is that so?" Caden walked in. "Let's go check it out." Quickly Alice said, "Maybe we could do it twice tomorrow instead?" "No."

"How cyou can do it twice a day, but I can't put it off?" Alice replied," don't "If you're feeling uneasy! go for a walk? Or, if that's not enough, I can arrange a hdelivery service." Caden was speechless. His expression hardened and without another word, he abruptly left the room.
