The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 649: Yolanda buried her face in his shoulder, her voice trembling.

I cant, Caden.

Cadens expression hardened, revulsion twisting inside him as he felt her skin against his.

Without hesitation, he gripped her wounded arm.

A sharp cry escaped her lips.novelbin

Caden… please.

Meanwhile, Alicia had just arrived and was searching for Caden.

The sound of Yolandas voice stopped Alicia in her tracks, a buzzing filling her head as dread seeped into her chest.

Slowly, she moved toward the noise.

Please, Caden, dont push me away, Yolanda pleaded, tears streaking down her face.

Forgive me.

Weve known each other our whole lives.

Do those years mean nothing now? You promised to marry me once.

You admired my talent and my support.

What is Alicia compared to that? Shes just another pretty face, and there will always be others.

But how many can actually help you achieve your dreams? As her voice trailed off, Alicia stepped into view.

The sight before her felt like a dagger Yolanda clinging to Caden, his hand still gripping hers.

Both turned to see her at the same time.

Cadens heart dropped, and he opened his mouth to explain, but Yolanda tightened her hold, defiance sparking in her eyes.

Anger flared inside him, and with one swift move, he wrenched himself free, sending Yolanda crashing against the door with a dull thud.

Caden turned to Alicia, his expression unreadable.

Alicia… Alicia blinked, the sight snapping her back to the present.

Instinctively, she took a step back.

Cadens face darkened as he saw the distance growing between them.

Alicia, whats that supposed to mean? Her eyes flicked over him, taking in the tear-streaked shirt, the blood, the unmistakable scent of Yolanda that clung to him.

A wave of nausea washed over her, and she frowned.

Your shirt is a mess.

Maybe you should clean up first.

She turned to leave, but he caught her wrist, holding it firmly.

Its not what it looks like, he said, urgency lacing his words.

Alicia held her breath.

I know.

She had seen him push Yolanda away.

Cadens expression was cold as he spoke.

Then dont act like I betrayed you.

You know theres nothing between me and Yolanda.

From the floor, Yolandas voice broke the tension.

Caden, wont you even look at me? Alicias gaze flickered over to Yolanda, who was now coughing up blood.

The scene was painfully familiar, saturated with irony.

Alicia understood the complexity of Cadens position, so she stepped aside.

Handle it yourself.

Ill be waiting outside.

As she moved away, she noticed a group of bodyguards rushing in Yolandas people with Regina trailing behind at a brisk pace.

Regina paused when she saw Alicia, then continued inside without a word.
