The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1132:

Caden caressed her waist. “I prefer it when you initiate.”

Alicia blushed, taken aback by his directness.

The moment was intimate, and Caden prepared for a passionate night.

Suddenly, a familiar sound echoed from outside the door. “Mommy!”

Alicia pushed Caden away, alarmed. “It’s Scarlette.”

At this late hour, Scarlette should have been asleep. If she was knocking, she must need something urgently. Alicia quickly dressed and hurried to the door.

Caden, frustration written all over his face, held onto Alicia’s wrist. “I’ve already put on the condom.”

Alicia, flustered and annoyed, replied, “Take it off the same way you put it on. Hurry up and get dressed!”

Caden, filled with frustration but unable to ignore his daughter’s cries, worried she might be frightened by a nightmare.

Before Alicia could open the door, Caden swiftly donned a robe. His breathing was heavy, overwhelmed by the exasperating situation.

Scarlette rushed into Alicia’s arms, sobbing.

Alicia knelt down, cradling her daughter gently. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”

Scarlette struggled to express herself, her sobs unrelenting.

Caden turned just in time to see his little girl resting her head on Alicia’s shoulder, her face flushed from crying. Yet, surprisingly, not a single tear was visible on her cheeks.

Catching her father’s gaze, Scarlette nervously buried her head into Alicia’s chest and continued to cry.

Caden knew his daughter well, including her little schemes. She was still upset from being scolded earlier that day, and knowing how much her father adored her mother, she chose this moment to disrupt his plans. Irritated yet resigned, Caden went to the bathroom to calm down. When he returned, as expected, he found Scarlette clinging to Alicia, already asleep.

Alicia gently stroked Scarlette’s hair and whispered, “She’ll sleep with us tonight.”

Caden grunted and lay down in resignation.

Since turning one, Scarlette had often sneaked her way onto her parents’ bed, seeking their comfort, although she was usually cooed into sleep by her nanny before that.

Caden carefully lifted Scarlette, positioning her on his chest. She loved this spot, her round belly comfortable as she preferred sleeping on her stomach, and Caden’s firm chest made the perfect pillow. Alicia watched him, amusement in her eyes. “Have you given up?”

Caden closed his eyes. “Don’t tempt me.”

“It’s rare to see you concede so easily,” Alicia teased. Previously, Caden would have found a way to carry out his plans regardless.

Caden sighed deeply. “She’s determined to thwart me tonight. There’s no way around it.”
