The Unwanted Wife's Unexpected Comeback - Chapter 740

Chapter 740:

At first, Caden thought Alicia was just sick, but remembering the panic in her eyes, he started to doubt it. He recalled her asking him if he liked kids before he left for his business trip.

The thought hit him hard, and without another second’s hesitation, Caden floored it, racing to catch up with her.

Alicia lived in a high-end neighborhood in Warrington with security that made it tough for anyone to get in. Not wanting to make a scene or annoy her, he sent Alicia a quick message that he was waiting downstairs and settled in.

Alicia noticed the message but decided to ignore it. She knew Caden was too stubborn to back down easily. As long as the gallery was in Warrington, avoiding him was nearly impossible.

So, she set up a board meeting to discuss giving up her shares. Her offer was simple: she’d keep just ten percent of her original forty-five and give the rest to them. They knew she was serious, so no one argued.

Once the paperwork was done, her ties to the gallery would be cut.

After the meeting, Alicia lay in bed, thinking about the past few years. Her heart was tough now, but the warm memories still made her cry.

She had fallen for him, completely. Life was too short, and she knew she and Caden would never have a happy ending. Instead of staying stuck in a toxic loop, she decided it was time to cut him off and move on.

Later that night, a knock from the property manager pulled Alicia from her sleep.

The manager apologized, saying, “Sorry to bother you, Ms. Bennett, but with the snow coming down, he’s refusing to leave. The police couldn’t get him to go either. I’m worried he might freeze out there, so I felt I should let you know.”

Alicia looked past the property manager and locked eyes with Caden. He stood tall, snow covering him, his face pale under the dark sky. But his eyes were intense, full of determination.

Just as Alicia was about to say something, Caden brushed past the property manager, grabbed her, and barged into her apartment. He pulled her close, slammed the door shut, and ignored the knocking from the manager.

Alicia snapped, “Caden!”

But Caden ignored her anger, his eyes fiery as he shot out, “Alicia, are you pregnant?”

Alicia froze, her body going rigid as Caden’s question hit her like an unexpected storm. His gaze was intense, scrutinizing every subtle shift in her expression. He already knew, but the silent demand in his eyes insisted that she confirm it aloud.

Silence stretched between them. The truth sat on the tip of her tongue, but Alicia stubbornly refused to give in so easily.

“Is it true that you’re pregnant?” Caden’s voice broke the silence, more insistent this time.

Faced with the sheer force of his presence, Alicia realized that the truth was unavoidable. She twisted her wrist from his hold, her voice hoarse.

“Let me go.”

Outside, the property management staff had noticed the commotion and were on the verge of calling the police, convinced that Alicia might be in danger. Caden loosened his grip, stepping back momentarily.

Alicia took a deep breath and reassured the staff.
