The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 569:

He was about to speak when Alicia stood up and led the dog over to the grill.

Caden could only watch her go, his mouth hanging open.

Could she really not afford him some grace, at least in front of other people?

Frustrated, Caden swallowed his irritation and followed her.

Alicia was searing a few slices of meat for Cade.

When Caden sidled up next to her, the man in charge of the barbecue asked, “What would you like, sir?”

Caden glanced at the cooler.

“Ten skewers of oysters, ten skewers of lamb kidneys, and a few sea cucumbers and abalone.”

The barbecue guy was visibly taken aback.

He wasn’t born yesterday.

He knew that everything Caden ordered was meant to enhance a man’s sexual virility.

Alicia nearly rolled her eyes.

All this energy-boosting food — what was he planning? Trying to conquer her completely tonight?

Noticing her expression, Caden turned to the barbecue vendor.

“How long will it take?”

The vendor, caught off guard, stammered, “Uh, sir, are you in a hurry?”novelbin

Caden replied smoothly, “Not me, but my girlfriend is.”

The vendor blinked in confusion.

Caden nodded toward Alicia.

“That’s my girlfriend.” Alicia was left in a daze.

“Yes, that one — the pretty one holding the dog,” Caden added.

Alicia’s forced smile barely concealed her irritation.

She’d thought he might apologize, yet here he was, stirring up trouble.

After settling Cade, she turned back to face them.

The vendor, clearly rattled, focused intently on the grill while Caden met her gaze without a hint of fear.

Handing over a piece of meat for grilling, she looked at Caden with a smirk.

“Judging by the amount you ordered, Mr.

Ward, your deficiency is more serious than we thought.

Need more than just food?”

Her eyes darted to his pants as she continued, “If it’s that bad, this won’t help.

I suggest trying something drastic — a full reset.”

The vendor couldn’t help but snicker, though he quickly tried to cover it up, blaming the smoke.

Caden shot him a glare.

“You find this funny?”

The vendor straightened, feigning seriousness.

“No, sir.

Just… some smoke.”

Caden raised an eyebrow, glancing pointedly at the completely smoke-free grill.
