The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1136:

Alicia kept the call open as Caden had asked, allowing the ambient sounds to reassure him. Yet, talking endearments with him while others were around made her feel both delighted and bashful. They didn’t wait long before Caden’s car pulled up dramatically. He drove so quickly that he nearly collided with Ellis’ car.

Alicia stepped out, holding Scarlette, and before she could balance herself, Caden, breathless, wrapped her in a tight embrace. Her feet dangled briefly before landing on Caden’s toes.

Ignoring the discomfort, Caden fervently checked over and over that both his wife and daughter were unharmed. Eventually, he regained his composure and tenderly held Alicia’s face to look into her eyes. He then took Scarlette into one arm.

Noticing the redness in Caden’s eyes, Alicia’s heart twisted, and she said, “I told you I was fine. Why did you rush?” He paused and then kissed her deeply.

“Mmm!” Alicia tried to protest, mindful of the onlookers, but the kiss was too intense to break.

Alicia reluctantly allowed the moment to linger. Once the kiss ended, Caden and Alicia got back into the car. They resumed their journey, catching the meteor shower just in time. It was as stunning as they had hoped.

After the meteor shower, Caden and his family joyfully returned to the hotel. Jaida, cradling her quiet second son, was consumed with worry. She hoped for her son’s recovery, yet deep down, she doubted divine intervention would come in time.

Ellis, gripping her hand firmly, reassured her, “Jaida, this trip was worthwhile.” Jaida smiled weakly.

Ellis added, “You were invited to Caden’s daughter’s first-month celebration, remember? Which month was it?” After a moment’s thought, Jaida replied, “February.”

She hesitated, recalling the diviner’s words that her son would soon recover from a marriage alliance, and that the girl would ideally be born in February.

Considering the recent bridge incident, where Scarlette seemed to predict danger, Ellis already had a candidate in mind.

Hope sparked in Jaida’s eyes. “Do you think Caden’s family would agree to the proposal?”

With a confident smile, Ellis responded, “Your husband can manage anything.”

Back from their trip, Caden found an array of gifts from Ellis awaiting them. The grandest was a billion-dollar investment project, and the smallest was a limited edition pink children’s sports car. The gifts, over a hundred in total, were so lavish that their value was almost incalculable.

Caden and Alicia stared at the electric sports car, puzzled.

“Since when did we become so close to them?” Alicia asked.

Caden’s brow furrowed. “Did I overlook something during the meteor shower?”noveldrama

Alicia shook her head. “Half of these gifts are for Scarlette,” she said. “Maybe they’re thanking her for having predicted the danger that day?”

Caden suspected there was more to it. “A thank-you of this magnitude is almost a fortune.”
