The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 678:

“Cost? Are we supposed to measure relationships and marriages in terms of cost?”

Stunned by his serious demeanor, Hank apologized.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Ward, that was inappropriate of me.”

In the past, Caden had often viewed marriage as a strategic move, a way to align with a woman of similar status for mutual business advantages.

However, times had changed.

Alicia had transformed Caden into a believer in romance.

Caden reclined in his chair, his long fingers skillfully lighting a cigarette.

He wasn’t much of a smoker, but in that moment, the nicotine seemed to soothe him.

His expression was filled with unresolved feelings.

He said, “I’m only twenty-six, and Dorian is well over fifty. How long can he keep up this battle?”

Even if he didn’t come out on top this time, future opportunities would arise.

Wealth could be regained, but losing Alicia would be permanent.

Caden inhaled deeply from his cigarette, his resolve hardening.

Dorian was pressuring him to marry Yolanda.

However, he was determined to cherish Alicia and had every intention of marrying her.

Caden’s driver had brought Alicia to the corporate office.

As the evening set in and a chill wind picked up, Alicia warmed her hands and noticed the slight redness in Caden’s eyes.

She asked gently, “Were you very busy today? I tried calling, but I couldn’t reach you.”

Caden drew her close as they sat down together.

Instead of replying, he questioned, “What was it you wanted to discuss?”

Alicia chuckled softly.

She looped her arms around his neck and said, “I dreamt we had a daughter who looked just like you. Caden, would you like to have a daughter?”

A soft smile touched Caden’s eyes.

“Why wouldn’t I? I want to sow my seeds in your belly tonight, and then we can have a family—perhaps two kids in a few years.”

Alicia’s face turned a bright shade of red.

“What do you mean by ‘sowing seeds in my belly’? That’s such a crude way to say it.”

Caden’s hand moved as if with a mind of its own, slipping beneath her shirt to caress the soft skin at her waist.

His touch was light, restless, gliding back and forth.

He smirked playfully.noveldrama
