The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 936

Chapter 936:

Alicia frowned, feeling an odd mix of emotions. “Will your grandma recover?” she asked hesitantly.

“She should. It'll take about six months. She's stable but very weak. Stress is the last thing she needs.”

Feeling slightly awkward at his uncharacteristic politeness, Alicia said, “Then we'll just have to play it by ear.”

Caden nodded. “I'll be staying at Joy Mansion for now. My grandma will definitely keep a close eye on us. We

need to act the part to avoid any suspicions—at least when she’s around.”

Alicia’s brows furrowed. “What exactly do you mean by ‘act the part?'”

Her confused expression brought a small, amused smile to Caden’s face. “We just need to act like a couple in

front of others. That way, she won't hear any rumors or start worrying. Don’t worry—I'll respect your boundaries.

Most of the time, you'll be free to do as you please. I'll only need your cooperation at Joy Mansion.”

Alicia narrowed her eyes, suspicion written all over her face.

Caden’s voice remained calm as he added, “Don’t overthink it. Cliff remindedtoday that feelings can’t be

forced. | thought it was good advice, so I've decided to give you sspace.”

Alicia stared at him, speechless.

Caden gave her a considerate look. “If you're uncomfortable, I'll explain everything to my grandma. | don’t want

to pressure you.”

Startled, Alicia grabbed his arm. “What are you doing? If you tell her now, it'll only upset her!” Caden held her

gaze, saying nothing.

After a moment, Alicia sighed. “Fine. For your grandma's sake, I'll go along with it. Acting isn’t a big deal.” Caden

nodded, choosing his words carefully. “It’s late. Let's head back to our room and get srest.” Without waiting

for her reply, he turned and walked away.

Alicia watched him leave and muttered, “What theatrics.”

In the master bedroom, there was only one bed.

Caden offered to sleep on the sofa.

Alicia watched as he set up a makeshift bed, her eyes filled with curiosity. She couldn't figure out what had

gotten into him.

When Caden was done, he glanced at her. “What?”

Alicia crossed her arms, speaking bluntly. “We’ve known each other for so long. Do you really need to put on

this?”

Caden smirked. “Isn't this what you wanted? Keeping my distance is better than you rejecting me.”

Alicia didn’t respond, feeling oddly at a loss for words. Caden tugged at the collar of his shirt and casually pulled

off his loungewear, revealing his toned upper body. Alicia's eyes involuntarily lingered for a moment before she

quickly looked away.

Caden raised a brow, teasing, “Why don’t you admit you're tempted?”
