The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1138:

Alicia’s face flushed deep red. Years before, she had mistaken Caden for someone else in this very room, leading to a mix-up that sparked their first encounter. The memory was vivid: back then, she was filled with humiliation and sorrow as his sister-in-law. Now, she was his wife, her heart swelling with joy.

Caden deepened their kiss, lifting her and moving toward the sofa. He sat down, pulling her onto his lap.

“Do you remember this place?” Caden asked, his gaze intense. “Right here, I was at an auction, and you stormed in, insisting on sitting atop.”

Alicia’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly covered his mouth.

“You were barely conscious, unaware of your passion,” Caden teased, kissing her palm. “How about we relive that moment today?” Though Alicia verbally protested, she was clearly moved, her resistance fading.

Caden turned her attention back to the screen.

Embarrassed, Alicia couldn’t even look up. “Caden, please turn it off!” Caden mistook her plea for playful resistance and quieted her with a kiss.

Alicia relented, yielding to him. Her eyes, moist and shimmering, met his. She wanted to speak but held back her words. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” she finally murmured.

Caden saw her hesitation but pretended otherwise. “What should I say? It was an unforgettable night. We should do this more often.” Alicia fell silent, visibly upset.

Caden, sensing her mood, gently kissed her, their fingers entwined. “I’ve told you many times, but you’ve never really responded.”

Alicia was puzzled and said, “You’re joking. When have you said it?”

He had professed his love to her only once, at their wedding.noveldrama

Caden responded sincerely, “Every time you drift off.”

Alicia froze, understanding he referred to her drowsy moments after their intimate encounters, her frustration mounting. “How dare you bring that up! It’s meant to be earnest, yet you always choose those moments to say it!”

“People often reveal their true feelings in joy,” Caden said.

“Stop justifying your boldness!”

“And you, honey? You’ve never said it. You’re even more stubborn than I am.”

Alicia replied softly, “I won’t say it. You always had the advantage growing up, never letting me win. Now that I have the upper hand, I’m keeping it.”

Caden laughed, his eyes sparkling with affection.

Their bodies close, their heartbeats merged, enveloping them in love.

“My love,” he whispered intimately.

Alicia’s heart raced, though she pretended annoyance, sneaking a glance at him. “What is it?”

Caden lifted her face gently, planting a soft kiss on her lips. “I love you.”

When they first met, Caden had been proud and stubborn, often finding amusement in her distress. Now, recognizing Alicia as his most precious gift, he was ready to show his devotion and love.
