The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 328:

After ending the call, she put the card aside and opened the box with the Christmas cake from Caden.

He lit a candle and watched it burn down completely.

Past midnight, Caden joined Gerry for a round of billiards.

Gerry handed him a charm.

“My mom got these for us.

One for me, one for Cliff, and one for you.”

Caden slipped the charm into his coat pocket and then quickly pocketed three balls in succession.

Gerry was astonished.

“My mom gives you a charm, and you still play hard against me?”

Caden adjusted the cue stick.

“I’m being easy.

If not, all the balls would be in the pocket by now.”

Gerry was left speechless.

He thought to himself, Enough with the showing off.

After missing a few shots, Gerry lost interest and teased, “What’s going on with you? Shouldn’t you be spending time with Alicia right now? Why are you playing billiards with me?”

Caden remained silent.

Suddenly, a ball flew off the table and hit Gerry in the face.

Gerry held his reddened forehead, playing innocent.

“What? Did I say something wrong?”

Caden replied coldly, “You know the situation with me and Alicia better than anyone.

Why ask?”

Gerry smirked.

“Honestly, Caden, this time Alicia is the one who’s wronged.

Think about it.

Apologizing to a love rival? Would you accept that if you were in her shoes?”

Caden looked at the table.

She truly was wronged, but he had apologized and tried to make things right, hadn’t he?

Without emotion, he muttered, “Women are so complicated.”

Gerry was intrigued.

“Did you guys split just over that?”

Caden confirmed with a nod.

“How delicate,” Gerry mused.

“You’ve been together for just over six months, right? That explains it.

Your relationship was on unstable ground.

One push, and it all falls apart.”

He then asked, “Did Alicia catch you being unfaithful with Yolanda? She wouldn’t react so strongly otherwise.

I know her pretty well.”

Caden shook his head in denial.

There was nothing inappropriate between him and Yolanda.

The most they’d done was watch the river together in Averibon.

He had always made Alicia feel secure.

She had no real grounds for complaints.

Caden concluded, “She’s just throwing a tantrum.

Give it a couple of days.

I’ll smooth things over by persuading her, and it’ll all blow over.”

Gerry was somewhat taken aback.

“You know how to soothe a woman?”

Caden reflected and realized he hadn’t actually done much soothing.

Typically, he pleased her in bed, bought her gifts, or gave her money.

For the most part, Alicia was reasonable.
