The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 674:

The caller hesitated.

“Mr. Ward, if we delay, the damage could be immense.”

“This issue is complicated and resolving it will take time. I can’t afford any disturbances at the moment,” Caden explained.

“Isn’t the company your priority? It’s your life’s work.”

Caden stayed silent for a moment and glanced at Alicia, who was deep in sleep.

He gently stroked her cheek.

The feel of her skin stirred deep emotions within him.

“Let’s wait until December,” Caden finally said.

“I have my plans. Stay put and don’t let Gareth know we’ve discovered him.”

After they hung up, Caden’s touch gently woke Alicia.

She sleepily opened her eyes and asked, “Why are you still up?”

Caden lay back down and embraced her closely.

“I was just getting ready to.”

Ting! A message vibrated on Alicia’s phone.

Caden automatically looked at it and noticed it was from Blake.

He picked up the phone without hesitation.

With her eyes still closed, Alicia asked calmly, “Is that a work-related message?”

Caden read the message, his voice growing cold.

“Mr. Langstaff is asking if you’re still fighting with Caden?”

Alicia opened her eyes slightly and asked, “What?”

Caden asked, “You’re even talking about such private matters with him?”

Alicia responded, “Don’t talk nonsense. He was just guessing.”noveldrama

Caden felt a constriction in his chest.

“Stop talking to him. If I catch you alone with him again, it won’t end well for him.”

Alicia rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck to settle into a comfortable position.

“Caden, act your age. You’re being really immature.”

The next morning, when Alicia woke up, she still felt a bit uneasy in her stomach.

Concerned it might be related to her menstrual cycle, she headed directly to the gynecology department for a checkup.

As she made her way to the appointment, Alicia unexpectedly ran into Regina, who was coming from the opposite direction.

Their items spilled all over the floor, and they both bent down to gather them.

A document caught Alicia’s eye, but before she could make out the details, Regina swiftly picked it up.

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention,” Alicia said.

Regina collected her belongings, her smile warm.
