The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 231

Chapter 231:

Caden poured all his intense emotions into his actions, knowing that Alicia couldn't handle too many things at once. A two-on-one rhythm was set. For every two rounds, they rested for an hour. The long winter night stretched on for more than ten hours, and Caden made sure to use the time efficiently, meeting his needs without overtaxing Alicia. Despite his attempts to be considerate, she fell into a deep sleep in the morning.

Caden, for his part, only slept for two hours before waking up. He accepted the breakfast served by the innkeeper, who couldn't help but notice his energy. You have impressive stamina, young man! She commented, amazed that after such an intense night, he was already on his feet.

Caden didn't bother showing false humility. It's the advantage of being young, he responded with a smile. At twenty-five, even staying up all night was not much of a challenge for him.

After breakfast, he sat by the window to work online. In the afternoon, a ray of sunlight filtered in, casting a soft glow on his keyboard. He looked up and was pleasantly surprised by the sunny weather, unusual for this time of year: an unexpected blessing. His gaze drifted towards the woman sleeping in the bed and a smile appeared on his lips.

At that moment his phone rang, interrupting the moment.

He answered with a carefree What's wrong?

Gerry's voice was heard, worried. You're okay

They had talked a few days before, and Caden had assured her that everything was fine, asking her not to visit him. But after a few days, Gerry's concern had prompted him to call again.

Yes. We'll be back in a couple of days, Caden replied.

Gerry let out a sigh of relief, but then he caught something unusual in Caden's tone. It's already afternoon. Why do you sound like you just woke up? You've fallen asleep

Yes, I slept a little today, Caden replied, sounding cheerful.

Gerry scoffed: You've been put under a spell by Alicia. Your time. It's usually more valuable than gold, and yet here you are, lingering in bed.

Caden laughed. That's pretty accurate.

Gerry was surprised by Caden's sincerity. But the day after tomorrow is Thanksgiving. You're not coming back. You're really going to have a hard time at the bottom of that mountain.

Caden didn't care about those traditions. Yes.

Come on, join us. Bring Alicia, Gerry insisted. I was eager to see the softer side of Caden, as I had never seen him act like that with anyone. Comes back. Let's hang out. I'll even cover you all night.

Caden's voice was cold. No. I'm going to end the call.

Gerry pleaded, Come on! I'm practically begging.

Caden paused for a moment before asking bluntly: Do you have feelings for me?

Gerry answered without hesitation: Not in this life. I only like women. Maybe in the next life.

Caden's question had caught him off guard, but he laughed. Thanks, but no. Even if you liked men in the next life, I wouldn't like you.

Then, Caden ended the call.

Taking advantage of the energy of Thanksgiving, Alicia came up with some ideas for a special event. She drafted a detailed proposal and sent it to her assistant.

Upon learning of Alicia's recent accident, her assistant expressed some concern before saying: Ms. Bennett, I can take care of this plan. You don't have to work so hard.

Alicia smiled and answered: It's okay. Now I have some free time. Next year I'll be busier, and then I'll let you take the reins.

Caden entered the room and found Alicia smiling happily.

Who are you talking to, she asked, glancing at her phone.

Alicia quickly finished the conversation with her assistant and ended the call.

Just discussing some gallery matters with my assistant, Alice murmured, moving slightly under the blanket.

Caden asked, without thinking: Is your assistant a man or a woman?

A woman, Alicia answered. He just graduated, but he is very intelligent and has a kind nature.

Caden's expression softened. Okay.

Alicia brought her laptop over to show him the plan she had written. With his extensive business experience, Caden quickly spotted some minor problems. Alicia, always quick on her feet, made the adjustments without delay.

Caden was thoughtful. Today is Thanksgiving. How about we bathe in hot springs, he suggested.

Alicia seemed surprised. There are hot springs here.

Yes, he answered. Not only hot springs, but also fireworks.

Alicia lay down in the hot water, her eyes wide with amazement. This place is so remote, practically abandoned. It's just the two of us. Why there are fireworks

Caden hugged her from behind, their bodies pressed together. Fireworks on Thanksgiving Day aren't that unusual.

Alicia timidly splashed the water and asked, "You made them?" Caden smiled, knowing that she didn't mind. He realized everything he had orchestrated. I did it. In such an isolated place, there are usually no fireworks. I prepared them yesterday.

He let his thoughts wander. There is an even more spectacular spectacle. Do you want to see it

Alicia was curious and her eyes lit up with interest. Where When

Right now.

He turned her over and gently lifted her to the edge of the hot spring. Grabbing her soft legs, he put them over his shoulders and knelt down.

Alicia realized what she was about to do. She gasped, quickly biting her hand to muffle the sound.

I wasn't prepared for this. The intense sensations made her close her eyes, her mind burning with the metaphorical fireworks that Caden had promised.
