The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 702:

At the rate you’re going, you could be a dad within a month.”

Caden clicked his tongue, showing a mix of frustration and amusement.

“Well, it won’t be for lack of trying.”

Alicia laughed, half annoyed, shoving him playfully.

“Enough with your cheeky humor. You don’t sound like any CEO I know.”

After a moment of shared laughter, she turned her back, a wave of sadness washing over her, not wanting him to see her conflicted expression.

Caden said, “Alicia, I’m heading out.”

“Okay.”

The sounds of traffic and the wind faded quickly into silence behind her.

After a moment, Alicia turned around, half-hoping to catch another glimpse of his departing figure, only to find Caden still there, hand in his pocket, a soft smile playing on his lips, the charm of his features undeniable.

His tone was gentle but firm.

“Why look away? Won’t you see me off?”

Alicia’s eyes warmed with affection.noveldrama

He knew her reluctance well, yet he playfully nudged her emotions.

Upon seeing Caden, Gareth felt all his strength collapse, and he dropped to his knees.

Caden regarded him indifferently.

Head bowed, Gareth was spent.

“Caden, there’s nothing I can say to alter the past. I don’t expect your forgiveness.”

Caden took a seat, elegantly crossing his long legs with a stern look on his face.

As someone lit a cigarette for him, Caden placed it between his lips but refrained from inhaling.

He questioned coldly, “So, why return? Just to sicken me?”

Gareth was slumped forward, his face hidden in his hands as tears quietly streamed down.

“Ever since I betrayed you, I’ve been haunted day and night. I shattered your trust and wasted your efforts. I might as well be dead.”

Caden’s eyes darkened, his emotions swirling beneath his intimidating gaze. The financial losses were bearable. He knew there would be chances to regain what was lost. Yet, the deepest sting came from Gareth’s betrayal—a man he had considered more than a friend. Dorian had chosen well, knowing exactly who would cut deepest with their treachery.

Gareth pleaded, “Caden, please stop fighting. The other shareholders have turned against you. There’s no way forward.”

Caden scoffed, “I assumed you were here to make amends, yet you’re trying to sway me. Don’t you fear the nightmares that might come if you surpass me?”

Gareth, observing the scorn in Caden’s eyes, felt his heart break further.

“Caden, you haven’t had a wife and children. You can’t grasp my suffering.”
