The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 18

Chapter 18:

Caden saw through Alicia's little game. Fooling them, right.

Alicia looked at him and asked, What else should I be doing?

Caden giggled at that. Platonic marriages must be really interesting.

Alicia pursed her lips in frustration.

Just then, Caden's phone rang.

He touched the screen and pressed it. put it on speaker.

On the other end of the line, Lilliana asked: Mr. Ward, why were you in the cafe with Alicia earlier?

Why do you ask?

< p>Out of curiosity. You were talking about business

Before Caden could respond, Alicia stood up and approached him.

Caden's eyes followed her movements. It caught him off guard when she straddled his lap without hesitation. His eyebrows furrowed as he asked, What do you think you're doing? Alicia fell silent and wrapped her arms around his neck. Up close, Caden's sharp, handsome features filled his vision. His chiseled face was flawless from any angle. It was even more striking than she had imagined. It was as if his appearance had been sculpted by the gods themselves. Out of anger, Alicia put a hand on his face and leaned slowly, seeking his lips.

Caden turned his head to the side. What are you trying to do?

Alicia squeezed harder, refusing to give him the chance to dodge her.

She knew it was reckless and that she was hurting herself as much as she was hurting him, but she didn't know. stopped. This opportunity was too tempting to pass up, considering Caden was Joshua's nemesis.

Alicia moved closer and whispered in his ear: You weren't saying I was too shy to express myself. Let's be more direct, then.

Caden's eyes darkened. And what exactly do you have in mind.

A sly smile appeared on Alicia's face. You know how to moan.

Caden's gaze dropped to her lips, fixating on them. And who exactly is he supposed to moan, he asked, leaning toward her with heated passion.

Alicia knew she might be going too far, but she didn't back down. You.

Caden let out a quiet laugh, amused by her forwardness.

Just then, Lilliana interrupted from the other end of the line. Mr. Ward…

Mr. Ward Is Still There

Caden looked directly into Alicia's eyes, squeezing her waist tightly. Alicia moved her body slightly, making room for him, as if she appreciated the closeness.

Her voice sounded hoarse, although that was not her intention. Are you serious

As he spoke, he raised his face enough to brush his nose against her cheek. The cold touch gave her chills.

Alicia's eyelashes trembled and her anxiety began to increase. She swallowed and, gathering her courage, kissed him. Keep this up and I'll pay you for your trouble.

A dangerous light flashed in Caden's eyes. The intensity of his gaze attracted Alicia.

With each passing moment, Alicia felt a growing passion. Her body responded to his presence as she kissed him savagely, licking and biting his lips with reckless abandon.

Caden applied pressure, guiding her legs around his waist as he grabbed the back of her neck. She opened her mouth, taking control, and showed him what a real kiss felt like.

Overwhelmed by the intensity, Alicia let out a soft moan.

Caden laughed at her reaction. . It seems that you already know how to moan.

The heat between them became unbearable for Alicia. She no longer wanted to continue, and struggled to get away.

Caden released her without resistance. The moment he released her, the tension between them evaporated as if it had never existed.

The call ended a while ago, Caden said. It's a shame he didn't hear anything, he added. Joshua, in fact, had missed it all. He had already parked the car and took a moment to collect himself.

The silence in the car prolonged. Finally, Lilliana spoke.

I can't believe it. What Caden would want with Alicia She's too boring to be fun to mess with.

Joshua's expression darkened as her words sank deep. He took a cigarette without answering.

Lilliana glared at him and growled: Are you serious? I'm pregnant. You can't smoke here.

Joshua pretended he hadn't heard her and lit the cigarette.

That's why Lilliana reached out angrily to snatch it away.

Joshua turned to her and growled: Shut up!

Lilliana froze, surprised by his sharp tone. He became angry and his eyes filled with tears. Joshua, you scoundrel. How dare you talk to me like that.

Suddenly, she let out a cry of pain, a strong discomfort running through her abdomen as her emotions overwhelmed her. His face lost color.

Joshua… the baby…

Joshua stopped dead. Realizing what had happened, he quickly composed himself. Without saying anything else, he rushed her to the hospital.

In the other car, silence hung in the air.

After the kiss, Alicia felt uncomfortable, unsure of where to look. . He grabbed his phone and quickly transferred money to Caden. We haven't achieved what we set out to do, but thank you for playing along. I'll pay you the standard rate for your time.

Caden leaned back in his seat and looked at her. Standard fare, huh? You're so familiar with this kind of thing.

Alicia dodged the question. Just take the money. There is no need for unnecessary pleasantries.

Caden looked at the amount: one hundred dollars.

How generous.

For someone worth billions, to be paid a hundred for his time seemed ridiculous to him. However, he accepted the money.

Don't forget to call me the next time you need something like that, he commented.

This time, Alicia was speechless.

Caden's gaze remained fixed on her. You and Joshua avoided kissing when you were together.

Alicia felt the sting of his question, but she kept her expression firm. We kissed every day. Three times a day, without missing a beat.

Caden chuckled. Seriously, because your technique is terrible.

Alicia remained calm, although his comment stung her. We've been fighting a lot, and we haven't kissed in a while. It's just that I'm out of practice.

Ah, yes Caden laughed louder, clearly amused.

Alicia held back her frustration, refusing to let his words bother her any further.

< p>We are at peace. You're not exactly a kissing expert either.

Caden didn't dispute that comment.

Not long after, he received a call from Lilliana's agent. The agent informed him that Lilliana had had a little trouble in the hospital and would need a few days to recover.

Without showing any concern, Caden replied: For delayed endorsements, follow the contract. Process compensation accordingly.

The agent hesitated, clearly surprised by the lack of sympathy.

Dealing with ruthless businessmen meant that no compassion could be expected from them.< /p>
