The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 619: She whispered, I know youve got money, but you cant just show it off like this.

Arent you worried about getting into trouble? Caden chuckled.

Isnt having money all about enjoying it? She just stood there, speechless, both irritated and totally drawn to him.

Not sure what had gotten into Caden that day, Alicia chose a ring to wrap things up.

It had a small, beautifully cut diamond on a silver band with intricate details.

She slipped it on carefully, and her mind flashed back to her wedding with Joshua, stirring up a swirl of emotions.

She forced a smile and held up her hand to Caden.

Does it look good? Caden instantly caught the hesitation in her eyes.

When he had the designer make the ring, it hadnt really crossed his mind.

But then, out of nowhere, he recalled her wedding to Joshua and the cheap ring shed worn all the time.

If they got married again, a diamond ring might not be a pleasant surprise for her.

It could feel more like a burden, a reminder of old pain.

It looks gorgeous, Caden said, taking her hand.

But theres an even better one out there.

The most amazing diamond ring isnt here yet, but someday itll be on your finger.

Alicias ears buzzed, as if she had stepped into a different world.

What was he trying to say? Caden bought the ring, but he didnt let Alicia put it on.

Instead, he casually slipped it into his pocket.

Outside the store, Alicia took a breath, steadying herself.

So, Caden, whats the plan for today? Without missing a beat, Caden shrugged.

I want to marry you.

She just stared at him, speechless.

After a couple of seconds, Alicia let out a soft scoff.

Yeah, right.

Youre messing with me again, arent you? She folded her arms.

Not falling for it this time.

Caden chuckled, clearly amused.

He glanced over at the pharmacy across the street and, in a more serious tone, said, Wait for me in the car.

I need to grab some medicine.

Alicia gave a silent nod.

Sitting alone in the car, she looked down at her hand, replaying the moment of trying on the ring.

She whispered softly, Caden, Im ready to say I do whenever you are.

Just as the words left her lips, she heard footsteps by the window.

Startled, she turned to see Caden already approaching.

Oh no, he got back so fast! Did he hear her? Alicia quickly covered her mouth, hoping to hide her words.
