The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 646: Alicia called out from the other room, sounding annoyed, Caden, did you hear what I said? Caden promptly went to carry out her orders.

Gerry observed them in silence.

Ever since the impromptu proposal in bed, Alicia had been tense, worried Caden might propose out of the blue.

Because Gerry had been seeking him out often, and they appeared to be conspiring together, behaving suspiciously.novelbin

If it wasnt for a surprise, then what was it for? However, over the next few weeks, Caden showed no signs of proposing.

He was preoccupied with work.

As Alicias excitement dimmed, she couldnt help but ask him, That time you went overseas, you didnt seriously think of that as a proposal, did you? Caden was silent for a moment.

Surprises had to remain hidden, so he blurted out, Wasnt that just a playful moment in bed? Alicia fell quiet.

Her heart sank immediately, overwhelmed by sudden anger.

Are you making jokes about this? Do you see marriage as something unimportant? she demanded sharply.

Caden responded in kind, You didnt accept at the time, did you? Seeing his indifferent attitude, Alicias anger intensified.

Youre right.

I didnt agree.

She removed the ring from her finger and threw it at him.

Since I didnt agree, you can have this back.

The ring was small, and her throw was unexpected, so Caden didnt catch it.

It made a clinking sound and fell down the stairs.

Alicia was confused.

Her action of throwing the ring had been spontaneous.

She hadnt expected Caden to miss catching it, nor did she foresee the ring bouncing away and vanishing so quickly.

She walked over to the railing and peeked down.

They were on the fourth floor of a shopping mall.

With the crowd below, how could she possibly hope to spot such a tiny item once it fell to the ground floor? Yet, that ring was deeply significant to Alicia.

She looked at Caden, who seemed visibly upset, and said firmly, Ill go look for it.

Caden was visibly annoyed.

In such a large area, how do you expect to find it? His biting tone only fueled her determination to defy him.

How will I know unless I try? Maybe Ill get lucky.

Her response was tinged with defiance.

Once I find it, Ill give it right back to you.

Cadens face turned even more sullen.

Do we really have to speak to each other like this? Its just a ring.

Why argue? he said sharply.

Alicia felt a pang of bitterness.

He was correct.

It was just a ring given to appease her.

She had treasured it, deliberately wearing it on her middle finger since she hadnt consented to marry him yet.
