The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 538:

Caden scoffed.

“We’re related by blood.

So what if we’re similar? Or do you think I should learn from you, to cut in on someone else’s relationship?”

Thick-skinned, Blake didn’t shy away from the accusation.

“You and Alicia aren’t married.

Anyone has a shot.”

Caden retorted sarcastically, “I bet even if we were married, it wouldn’t stop you.”

“If you don’t treat her right, she has every right to choose a man who suits her better,” Blake replied, noting Caden’s attitude but choosing not to delve into what Alicia had just experienced.

A fierce sense of competition urged Blake to speak boldly.

“Alicia likes you right now.

Treasure this chance.

If you lose her, I won’t squander it.”

Caden’s smile widened, but a cold glint settled in his eyes.

“You think you are worthy of being my love rival?”

As Caden climbed into the car, he carried an icy aura that seemed to chill the air around them.

Even in the heart of summer, as rain poured from the sky, a chill radiated from him that had nothing to do with the weather—it was all about his presence.

The car door slammed shut with a force that echoed in the stillness.

Alicia’s heart raced as she pressed her lips together, her gaze fixed on him without uttering a word.

Caden’s profile was a mask of sternness and brooding intensity.noveldrama

It was clear that his conversation with Blake had been anything but pleasant.

Alicia couldn’t bear to look at his face, turning her head away in frustration.

Caden started the car, the engine’s low rumble echoing in the tense silence, amplifying Alicia’s simmering grievances.

The first time she met Benedict, his words had cut her self-esteem to shreds.

Today, history had repeated itself, with his words growing increasingly harsh, each sting more profound than the last.

And both times, Caden had been absent.

Yet, he still had the nerve to be angry.

The car sped toward the apartment building.

When they arrived, Caden finally broke the silence, his voice cold as ice.

“Get out.”

Alicia clenched her fists, battling her rising temper.

“What did Mr.

Langstaff say to you earlier?”

Did Blake tell him how Benedict had bullied her?

If Blake did, he ought to be comforting her right now.

But why wasn’t he doing that? Did he not care at all?

The mention of Blake’s name set Caden on edge.

His irritation flared, and he raised his voice.

“Get out and go upstairs!”

Taken aback by his sudden outburst, Alicia felt her temper ignite.

“If you dislike me so much, why did you pick me up? Why didn’t you just leave me on the side of the road?”

Suddenly, Caden reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Alicia struggled against him, but he locked her arms and legs in a tight embrace, rendering her helpless.

Desperate, she bit him, but Caden merely cupped her chin, forcing her gaze upward before crashing his lips against hers in a fervent kiss.

The tension between them was electric; their emotions so raw that it felt as if they were consuming each other in their anger.

Alicia bit down hard on his lip, drawing blood, but Caden seemed unfazed.

He tightened his hold, his mouth fierce against hers, his tongue tangling with hers—both a strange attempt to appease her and an outlet for his own frustrations.
