The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 933

Chapter 933:

Caught off guard and intimidated by his stern gaze, the nurse scrambled to collect her belongings and exited

swiftly.

Across the table, Gerry sat with a mischievous grin, his eyes fixed on his phone. He chuckled, clearly pleased

with himself.

Cliff raised an eyebrow and said dryly, “Caden, you do know Gerry just posted a picture of you being fed by the

nurse, right?”

Caden didn’t even flinch. His voice was flat. “I'm aware.”

“Alicia is friends with Gerry. She’s bound to see it,” Cliff pointed out.

Again, Caden replied calmly, “I know.”

Cliff's curiosity deepened, and he leaned back with a smirk. “So, what's the deal? You really have something

going on with that nurse?”

Before Caden could respond, Gerry jumped in. “Cliff, you're so dense. This isn’t about the nurse. It's strategy. You

can’t always be the one doing the chasing. Sometimes, you've got to let the woman feel a little jealous, maybe

even a sense of crisis. That's how you keep her interested. Honestly, | think he’s gotten bored of these tactics by

now. But still, Caden knows what he’s doing.”

Cliff shot Gerry a skeptical look. “Is that what you think? With Alicia's personality, this kind of move could

backfire. It’s more likely to end in disaster.”

Gerry laughed lightly. “How? The nurse was the one making advances, not Caden. He didn’t do anything wrong.

Alicia can’t blhim for that.”

As he finished his statement, the ward door swung open abruptly. They all braced, expecting the nurse's return.

Instead, Alicia entered, catching everyone off guard.

Alicia's arrival caught everyone off guard.

Gerry's earlier smugness disappeared as he buried his head in the takeout box, feigning busyness. Cliff lowered

his head too, nudging Gerry. “You're eating the wrong one. That's my meal.”

Gerry continued unfazed. “It’s all mine now.”

Caden’s typically stoic demeanor briefly faltered as he instinctively started to rise from the bed. Remembering

something, he hesitated and then slowly settled back down. “Why did you cback so suddenly?” His voice

softened slightly, though his eyes remained intently on Alicia. Her disheveled hair suggested she had hurried

back.

Alicia studied Caden closely. “I heard from Hank about your grandmother's sudden illness, so | cback to

check on her.”

Caden paused. He had often dismissed Ciara's tics, yet found himself playing along currently. “Have you

seen her yet?”

Alicia's face grew somber. “The doctor has barred visitors, saying she needs rest after the surgery.”

Caden pressed his lips together, falling silent.

The room then lapsed into a deep silence, punctuated only by the sound of Gerry's continued eating.
