The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 252:

Alicia couldn't get over Caden's erratic behavior lately.

Not long ago, he had been determined to keep her out of the loop, but today, he had personally asked her to meet with Lina.

She had only agreed after confirming that Yolanda would not be around the company.

The moment she saw Lina, Alicia's breath caught in her throat.

The sight of her was disturbing.

Lina was flawless, so human it was creepy.

“Did you make this?” Alice asked, her voice breaking as she looked at Lina, a shiver running down her spine.

“Is this… real fur?”

Caden, noticing her uneasiness, smiled with satisfaction and replied coldly, “If I could wear real leather in business, I would have conquered the world by now.”

Alice swallowed, her throat suddenly dry.

“But it seems so real.”

Without warning, Caden ordered, “Give him your hand.”

As Lina stepped forward, her hand outstretched, Alice's nerves got the better of her.

She let out a cry of surprise and ran across the room, her eyes wide with fear.

In an instant, Caden grabbed her arm and calmly led her back to where she had been standing.

Lina, still smiling, held out her hand again.

“Hello,” he said, his voice eerily human, though tinged with a mechanical hum.

Alicia forced herself to look at Lina, her pulse still racing, but then something inside her changed.

She froze.

Lina’s face…

The more Alice studied her, the more familiar Lina seemed to her, as if she had known her forever.

Pieces of memories crowded into her mind.

Somehow, Lina's face was in those fragments.

At that moment, her fear disappeared.

Alice stepped forward and cautiously took the hand that Lina held out to her.

Unexpectedly, Lina's fingers were frozen.

Caden raised an eyebrow in amusement.

“What happened to being terrified? Weren’t you convinced I’d eat you alive?”

Alicia pulled her hand away, turning her gaze back to him.

“Caden, you’re so intent on perfecting it because it means something, aren’t you?”

His smile was faint but full of meaning.

“Of course.

She’s beautiful.”

"You care about her, don't you?"

“I love her,” Caden corrected, his gaze softening as he looked lovingly at Lina.

“More than anything or anyone in this world.”

Alice felt a tightness in her chest as her eyes filled with tears.

He leaned closer to her, his voice barely above a whisper.

“I know who it is.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
