The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 44

Chapter 44:

Afterwards, Alicia put the business card in her bag.

Lilliana has a powerful team behind her, with the Green family and Joshua supporting her. “I need to gather enough evidence before asking Jeffery for help,” Alicia said. How much does he charge?

Gerry thought for a moment and answered: At least a million.

Alicia shuddered when she heard the figure.

She had recently received some money. of Joshua, and Gerry had paid him for the song he composed.

However, there were still many expenses to be made.

He could really afford to spend that much money

Gerry noticed her hesitation and suggested: why don't you sign with me? You could write and sing for me, and I'll make sure you're well compensated.

Alicia shook her head.

She appreciated Gerry's offer, but accepting it would bind her She worked in the entertainment industry, a path she wasn't sure she wanted to follow.

With her ongoing feud with Lilliana, entering show business would be a disaster for Alicia. It would only sink her and, what was worse, it could affect Gerry too.

Alicia was not willing to take that risk, and Gerry did not pressure her.

The car soon arrived. stopping at Alicia's house.

When she left, Gerry's gaze sharpened.

He looked directly at Caden. You've been acting weird, man.

Caden raised an eyebrow, surprised by how quickly Gerry caught on. What gave him away

Seriously, it's so obvious! Gerry replied.

Caden smiled satisfied. So you were pretending to be drunk in the booth, huh.

Gerry paused a moment before asking, Who said you were pretending?

Caden glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. It seemed like they didn't agree. What exactly do you find strange about me?

Obviously, it's how you're handling this situation. Gerry began to break down the situation. Lilliana took the first step by spreading lies and framing Alicia. You have the perfect opportunity to hit Joshua, but you stand idly by. That's not your style.

Other than Alicia, Gerry had the best insight into the bitter rivalry between Caden and Joshua.

He knew exactly why Caden had returned to the country. He knew it too well.

Caden looked at him with clear disappointment in his eyes. I actually thought you were getting sharper.

Apparently confused, Gerry said: Are you drunk or am I? What you're saying doesn't make sense.

Caden stopped playing.

p>

I'm not going after Lilliana because she means nothing to Joshua, he stated.

Gerry raised an eyebrow, teasingly placing a hand on Caden's forehead. You sure feel good, man

Caden moved his hand away. Jesus, get away from me.

Gerry insisted. Joshua went out of his way for Lilliana, and now you say she doesn't matter.

A shadow passed over Caden's expression.

Alicia is much more important to Joshua.

< Gerry was silent for a moment before saying, Joshua almost pushed Alicia to her breaking point, and you're telling me she's the one who matters.

Caden responded nonchalantly. Go to sleep and stop talking.

Gerry let out a sigh.

No matter how absurd Caden's words sounded, he had a knack for handling things efficiently.

There was always a reason behind his actions.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity, Gerry asked. If you work with Alicia, you'll get twice the results with half the effort.

Maintaining his casual tone, Caden replied, Alicia won't work with me.

She's vulnerable right now, and with With all your persuasion skills, you still can't convince her.

That's not persuasion, it's manipulation, Caden said flatly.

Gerry looked surprised again.

Come on, you're not exactly a saint. Why are you suddenly acting so gentlemanly?

Caden didn't respond.

Sensing Caden's mood change, Gerry cleared his throat. Okay, forget what I said. I know you and Alicia don't get along. There was no way you would ally yourself with her.

Suddenly, something clicked in Gerry's mind. He started searching the car. "I forgot the gift Alicia bought me," Caden asked. If you admire talent so much, why don't you help her when she's in trouble.

When Gerry found the bag, he smiled. He wanted to do it, but he probably doesn't need my help. She has plenty of ways to handle the Green family this time.

Caden tilted his head slightly, a slight smile on his lips.

For once, Caden agreed with her. That thought, and he even felt a slight anticipation.

Gerry took the scented candles out of the bag and smelled them.

I really like this scent, said Gerry as he admired the candles. Who would have thought he could make scented candles. What other surprises does he have in store?

Caden just smiled, preferring not to answer. He knew she had many talents, but she was equally imperfect in many ways.

Her way of kissing left a lot to be desired, she didn't handle pain well and became lazy as soon as she was on top when they were intimate.

His body was sensitive, but he lacked stamina.

He could never last long enough. Caden couldn't help but wonder how he would manage to keep up with her in the future.

As his thoughts wandered, Gerry handed him a box of scented candles. Here, get a box for yourself.

Caden raised his hand and accepted it.

As soon as Caden took the box, Gerry took it away. On second thought, it doesn't matter. There aren't many left. If you want one, go ask Alicia for one yourself.

Caden lowered his hand without saying a word.

These trinkets only turn you on, he said flatly.

< Gerry smiled sarcastically. Oh, of course, you're not into this kind of thing. You prefer other types of 'enhancers'.

Caden had no answer to that.

Gerry laughed again.

That girl from tonight... you plan on going back to Seeing it, he asked.

Caden lit a cigarette and twirled it between his fingers. She'll come see me when she's ready.

Gerry rolled his eyes. You really think you have to wait. He'll probably call you first thing in the morning.

Caden smiled slightly.

He's not that easy to cajole.

A Gerry caught him off guard, surprised by Caden's comment. What kind of woman could make Caden act like that

Once Caden got out of the car, Gerry was curious. He secretly called the owner of the club to find out who Caden had been with before.

The owner seemed puzzled. Mr. Ward didn't ask anyone. He just ordered drinks.

Gerry frowned. He's sure of that.

Totally. If he had asked for a woman, everyone here would have known. Not a word has been said.

Gerry's confusion only increased. So who was with Caden before
