The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 679:

“Alright, so what would you call it? Or do you prefer something more direct, like—”

Before he could continue, Alicia pressed her hand over his mouth, cutting him off.

But Caden took advantage of the distraction, letting his hand slide a bit higher.

Alicia clicked her tongue in frustration and grabbed his arm, holding it in place.

“Can you behave for even a moment? You’re hopeless, like a lovesick puppy.”

Caden chuckled.

“Only for you.”

She swatted his hand away with a playful huff.

“I went to the hospital today because my stomach was hurting.”

Instantly, Caden’s smile faded.

He pulled back, eyes filled with concern.

“Are you okay now? Does it still hurt?”noveldrama

Alicia offered a small smile.

“If it did, do you think I’d let you be this close?”

He frowned, his brow furrowing.

“Why did it hurt? Wait — are you pregnant?”

Alicia’s eyes widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her face.

“Pregnant? No way.”

“We’ve been careful, remember?” But even as she said it, a memory surfaced, making her heart skip a beat.

The day they went to buy their rings…

The moment that hadn’t gone as planned.

They had agreed she’d take medication afterward, but Caden had left the country unexpectedly, and she never took the pill.

Could it be? Just from that one time?

She took a steadying breath, pushing the thought aside.

“It’s nothing serious. I get cramps before my period, so I went to pick up some painkillers.”

Caden let out a small sigh of relief.

“Did you take the medicine?”

“Not yet,” Alicia admitted.

“There were some last-minute issues at the gallery with a few paintings, so I left without picking it up.”

She chuckled as she spoke, her eyes sparkling with an irresistible warmth that made her even more captivating.

“Oh, by the way, I have something for you,” Alicia said, pulling a small box from her bag.

“I’ve been waiting for the right moment to give it to you.”
