Chapter 64 – When His Wife Can’t Forgive

Posted on September 2, 2025 by thisisterrisun

Filed to story: When His Wife Can’t Forgive

But this was Caden.

She considered the pros and cons. Putting the transaction aside, she had to admit that she felt a bit drawn to his body.

When it came to having sex, wasn’t it ultimately about enjoyment?

Caden stood by his promise.

He had said he wouldn’t pressure her, and his behavior was noticeably more restrained.

He patiently waited for her to give her consent.

In broad daylight, without the influence of alcohol or drugs, she felt unable to act freely. Too many worries held her back. As Caden skillfully unbuttoned her blouse, she hesitated for a moment.

Alicia suddenly remembered and covered her almost exposed skin. “Last time, you said that if this happened a third time, what would you do?”

Caden glanced up.

His eyes were slightly red.

“If there’s a third time, then there will be many more after that, and it will be up to me,” he said.

Alicia’s heart raced, and her waist felt weak.

She inquired, “Why me? Aren’t there plenty of beautiful women interested in you?”

Caden swallowed hard, moistening his dry throat.

Despite his longing, he couldn’t reveal the truth.

He wouldn’t admit that his body only reacted to her.

If she found out, she would take advantage of him.

“Because we’re more compatible,” Caden reasoned.

Alicia found herself at a loss for words.

Before she could respond, Caden pressed his face against her neck.

When he spoke, his voice was more commanding than inviting. “Alicia, will it be a yes or a no for sex?”

His blunt words and husky voice were nearly impossible to resist.

Alicia held her lips tightly together, grappling with her feelings.

She couldn’t come to a decision.

She sensed an undeniable attraction towards him, but Caden’s previous words lingered in her mind, causing her to hesitate.

After this moment, he would have the final say in their interactions.

Was she truly allowing him to dictate the terms?

Caden could feel Alicia’s internal conflict as he licked his thin lip.

He had expected this to happen.

Knowing Alicia’s personality, he understood that once they entered a tug-of-war, she wouldn’t give in easily.

However, this challenge intrigued him.

Watching her cry beneath him was satisfying, but hearing her plead for more…

Caden abruptly stopped his thoughts, fearful of losing control.

Thus, he stopped teasing her.

But now that they had reached this point, it felt appropriate to take action.

Caden’s breath came in uneven bursts. “When do you plan to return to the Yates Mansion?”

“I suppose I’ll leave before dinner,” Alicia replied, her voice lacking warmth.

“There’s still plenty of time,” he stated.

Alicia found herself confused by his implication.

Before she could process her thoughts further, Caden raised his hand and pressed his index and middle fingers against her lips.

“Kiss them,” he instructed.

Alicia’s mind was racing. “You want me to kiss your fingers?”

“That’s right,” he whispered.

Now, Alicia was at her breaking point.

It was getting harder and harder to think straight.

Despite everything, she was still able to hold onto her consciousness.

“You don’t have to do that. I didn’t do anything to make you feel good. You’re the one who did everything,” she stammered.

Caden let out a soft chuckle, his voice muffled against her.

“I appreciate your concern for me,” he said, drawing her closer and inhaling the scent of her hair deeply. Alicia felt paralyzed and too flustered to respond.

Caden then asked, “Do you hate it?”

Though the question was casual, his gaze burned with intensity.

It was as if he wouldn’t allow her to say yes, but he didn’t seem worried if she did.

Alicia found herself unable to lie, but she also couldn’t bring herself to admit the truth, so she turned her head away to focus on something else.

Caden took the opportunity to push further.

“If the answer is no, then think of me when you’re unable to sleep.”

Think of him while doing what?

They both understood the implication.

However, they couldn’t bring themselves to say it out loud.

Alicia felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

“Just be quiet.”

Once they were done, she couldn’t bring herself to look at Caden and quickly found an excuse to head to the bathroom.

Caden leaned back in his chair, seeking a moment of respite.

He didn’t have a habit of smoking, so there were no cigarettes in the house. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to relax while waiting for his heartbeat to steady. His shirt was half-unbuttoned, revealing a sheen of sweat on his muscular chest, which was rising and falling with each breath.

After what felt like an eternity, Alicia emerged slowly from the bathroom.

She stood a few feet away, attempting to act as if nothing had happened.

“Where’s the thing I asked for?”

Caden slowly opened his eyes.

He looked deep into her eyes before walking to his desk.

Alicia followed closely behind.

She positioned herself at the edge of the desk.

After leaning against it to steady her shaky legs and slightly trembling waist, she tried to find her balance.

Caden handed her the remaining third of the documents. He then retrieved a sealed envelope from the drawer.

“Inside this envelope are some photographs,” he explained, tapping the envelope. “Randolph doesn’t want anyone to know about them. They’re of no use to me, but you might find them valuable.”

Alicia glanced at his hand for a brief moment.

His hands were clean, with distinct and slender fingers.

It was impossible to tell what unsavory things they had done just moments ago.

Caden noticed her lingering gaze and smirked. “What’s on your mind? Do you want to do it again?”

Alicia covered her mouth and coughed softly.

Then, she discreetly accepted the envelope from him. “I didn’t mean it that way. I was just curious. Why do you put up with all this trouble?”
