The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1137:

Caden resolved to tread carefully before he figured out their intentions. He returned all the gifts intended for her but agreed to the business project. Ellis was influential in Banta. Caden wouldn’t provoke Ellis, yet he wasn’t intimidated. Business was separate, but any ploys involving his daughter were off-limits.

Scarlette would make her own choices once she was older. Until then, Caden was committed to shielding her from any undue influences.

After ending the call with Ellis, Hank knocked from outside the door. “Mr. Ward, the car is ready.”

Alicia assumed Caden had business to handle and was about to go back to Scarlette, but then she noticed Caden pulling out a dress. Caden carefully helped Alicia into it and said, “I’m taking you somewhere special.”

The dress was stunning, and Alicia couldn’t help but speculate with a glowing smile. “Is there a new restaurant in Warrington? This dress seems just right for a fancy outing.”

Caden gently touched her cheek, his eyes shining with affection. “Would you like to go out to dinner with me?”

“I’d love to,” Alicia beamed. As long as she was with Caden, she was content.

Noticing her blush, Caden chuckled and wrapped an arm around her as they headed to the car.noveldrama

In addition to dining at the elegant restaurant, Caden surprised Alicia with a visit to a jewelry exhibition where he purchased her favorite pieces.

As evening approached, Caden phoned home to inform them he wouldn’t be returning that night.

Alicia narrowed her eyes playfully and said, “Which hotel are you thinking of this time?”

Caden kissed her lightly, his voice teasing. “You’ll see.”

Whether it was his warm breath or his alluring face under the dim lights, Alicia felt her knees weaken, frustrated by her own lack of composure. Yet, she couldn’t suppress her excitement about what he had planned for the evening.

Her assumption was mistaken, however, as Caden led her to a private screening room.

Alicia instinctively said, “So, we’re watching a movie?”

Caden raised an eyebrow. “You sound disappointed.”

“Not at all,” Alicia replied, a hint of reluctance in her voice.

The opulent screening room was dimly lit, and something about it felt eerily familiar to Alicia.

Stepping inside, Alicia was hit by a wave of nostalgia that made her pause.

The screen didn’t display the latest film. Instead, it showed a live feed of them so clear that Alicia could nearly touch her own image. As Caden’s lips met hers, his familiar scent enveloped her. “Does this bring back memories?” he asked, his tone both playful and sincere.
