The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1027:

Alicia thought his behavior was rather childish.

As the elevator doors slid open, a young man stood inside. Assuming they were a couple, he instinctively stepped back to give them space. Yet, once Caden and Alicia entered, they positioned themselves as far apart as strangers might, an unmistakable gap between them. The young man felt confused. Were they unacquainted with each other?

Unable to shake the thought, the young man found himself sneaking a glance at Alicia. As he admired her beauty, a hopeful thought crossed his mind: Was she single?

Alicia caught his lingering look.

The young man’s cheeks reddened, yet he couldn’t pull his eyes away. He was clearly handsome, and his admiration seemed sincere and harmless.

Alicia responded with a smile but remained silent.

The young man’s heart fluttered at her smile.

Upon reaching the ground floor, Alicia exited the elevator first, with Caden following casually behind. They continued to keep a formal distance.

Observing their seemingly unfamiliar behavior, the young man mustered the courage to approach Alicia, matching her pace. He asked quietly, “Miss, may I have your number?”noveldrama

Caden’s gaze sharpened. He fought back the impulse to intervene physically, instead focusing on Alicia’s response.

With a graceful sidestep, Alicia avoided the young man’s approach. She brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, conspicuously displaying the wedding ring on her finger, which glinted prominently. “I’m already married.”

The young man’s face fell. “I apologize for the intrusion.”

Alicia unlocked the car and slid into the driver’s seat, while Caden joined her as the passenger with composure. Caden glanced at the diamond ring adorning her hand.

They owned several sets of wedding rings. The one with the largest diamond was particularly striking and lovely, yet Alicia found it overly bulky and usually left it at home. Currently, they wore the rings Alicia had designed herself—perfectly sized, elegant, yet subtle.

At the time, Caden, blinded by his affection, had thought a smaller diamond was acceptable if it pleased her. Now, he recognized his mistake.

In a soft tone, Caden suggested, “I’ll ask Jolie to bring that ring from home tomorrow. You should wear that one. It suits you better.”

That ring, visible from ten meters away, was sure to dazzle and ward off any unknowing admirers.

My Hand

The thought of that overwhelming diamond ring gave Alicia a headache. Caden’s evident jealousy only intensified it.

“Maybe you should ask Jolie to send over the marriage certificate too? I could hang it around my neck when I go out.”
