The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1100:

Alicia swiftly adjusted her robe, awkwardly chewing on her sandwich. “I was just bored last night and ended up scratching myself.”

Regina exhaled deeply. “Those look more like pinch marks to me, dear.”

Alicia was at a loss for words, her mind racing as she remembered how those marks came to be. She felt a deep sense of embarrassment as she hurriedly stuffed the sandwich into her mouth. Her relationship with Regina hadn’t developed enough familiarity…

Yet, though recently reunited as mother and daughter, a certain coolness still lingered between them.

Regina, who maintained conservative views about intimacy, saw the marks and immediately feared mistreatment. “Does Caden have violent tendencies? Does he treat you like this often?”

Alicia noted the concern in Regina’s voice and quickly said, “No, it’s just that my skin is quite sensitive. It reddens easily, even from the gentlest touch. Today, I was just exhausted, and he was simply supporting my head.”

Regina watched her skeptically. “Do you really expect me to believe that, Alicia?”

Alicia’s face grew warmer. “He’s not bullying me, really. There’s no need to worry.”

After a moment, Regina seemed to accept that younger generations might view things differently and changed the subject awkwardly. “Ah, got it. Would you like anything else to eat? I can prepare something for you.”

Alicia shook her head. “No, thanks. I think I would rather get some more sleep.”

“Alright then.”

Following Scarlette’s one-month celebration, Caden’s schedule had become even more hectic, with late nights becoming the norm.

There were times when it had been a while since they were intimate, and Caden would rush home, only to be interrupted by his constantly ringing phone. He would leave for the study, disgruntled, and by the time he came back, Alicia’s interest had waned and they would end up just going to sleep.

Considering his well-being, Alicia suggested they might temporarily abstain from sex.

Surprisingly, Caden agreed.

Monica, catching wind of this decision, immediately sensed something was wrong. “You’ve been married for just two years and are still so vibrant. Why abstain from sex?”noveldrama

Alicia, fiddling with a tiny baby hat, responded, “He’s just been really swamped with work.”

“Busy with what?” Monica asked.

A shiver of unease ran through Alicia at the question. Indeed, what was Caden so busy with? He had never really explained his preoccupations.

Alicia had a nagging feeling that something was off. It wasn’t that she suspected Caden of cheating or not loving her anymore, but he was definitely keeping something from her.
