Chapter 222


    Chapter 222 Feeling Guilty in the End


    For a moment, Christina’s face stiffened and flushed with a mix of humiliation and embarrassment.


    Several expressions crossed her face, contorting it grotesquely.


    Idris did not look at her and nced at me, his dark eyes arching as he said, “It’s cold outside. Go back


    inside.”


    With that, he reached out to pull me away.


    I avoided him, stepping back to maintain distance between us, and ignored his slightly stiffened


    expression. After casting one more nce at the disheveled Christina, I turned and


    left..


    I heard footsteps behind me. I knew it was Idris, but I did not pay him attention.


    The sky was already dark, and dinner at the Youngs‘ household was ready. Mr. Zachary came to greet


    us, saying, “Mr. Young, Mrs. Young, dinner has been prepared in the dining room. Madam Young asked


    you both toe.”


    I nodded and hummed in response, not saying much more.


    However, Idris replied, “Someone fell into the pond in the backyard. Mr. Zachary, please arrange for


    someone to go and take a look.” He said this nonchntly.


    Mr. Zachary’s face changed as he asked, “Fell into the water? Who? Is the person alright?”


    Idris replied indifferently, “The pond isn’t deep. She didn’t die.”


    Mr. Zachary breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then hurried toward the backyard.


    I continued walking alone toward the dining room, but someone grabbed my wrist. I frowned and turned


    back, meeting Idris‘ handsome features. He was looking at me. His expression was gentle and calm,


    his voice low and restrained, “Go change your coat.”


    Only then did I look down at my coat and notice the water stains from when I helped Christina. They


    were not easily noticeable unless one looked closely.


    Initially, I intended to ignore it, but since he mentioned it, I pursed my lips and went to the guest room to


    change out of it.


    Coming out of the guest room, I was slightly surprised to see Idris still waiting outside. Though it was


    unexpected, I did not say much, assuming he was waiting merely to keep up appearances in front of


    Madam Young.


    I approached him and hesitated for a moment before saying, “We should tell Grandma about our


    divorce as soon as possible” Some matters would be harder to handle the longer they were


    dyed.


    He lowered his gaze to look at me, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying, “Let’s wait until


    Grandma’s condition improves a bit.”


    Considering it involved the health of an elderly person, I did not insist further and just nodded slightly.


    Walking toward the dining room, one after the other, I unavoidably noticed the bandaged area on the


    back of his head while I was behind him. I could not help but ask, “Is your injury okay?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    He stopped and turned to look at me, his eyebrows arching. “Are you sure this injury has nothing to do


    with you?”


    Taken aback by his sudden usation, after a few seconds of panic, Iposed myself and calmly


    said, “If you suspect that I caused your injury, I can provide you with the location of where you were


    meddling aroundst night. You can ask someone to check the surveince. footage and see for


    yourself how you got hurt.”


    Of course, that narrow alley, being remote and gloomy, was unlikely to have any surveince. I did not


    believe he could find any solid evidence proving that the injury on the back of his head had been


    inflicted by me.


    He narrowed his dark eyes, sizing me up for a moment. Without saying more, he turned and continued


    walking forward.


    I thought he would keep pressing me with questions, and I was prepared to spar with him verbally.


    Unexpectedly, he just walked away.


    Following behind him, I could not help feeling a bit guilty.


    Nheless, I had already lied, and I could not juste clean now. I had no choice but to follow him,


    albeit reluctantly.


    In the old manor’s dining room, quite a few people were already seated. I quickly scanned the room.


    When I noticed Liam and Emily were not around, I became worried that something had happened to


    them.


    However, it was not appropriate to ask around too much, so I walked up to Zoe and quietly asked, “Are


    Liam and Emily not here yet?”


    Zoe shifted to make space for me to sit and looked around before saying, “I don’t know, I just got here


    too. They should be arriving soon.”


    I hummed in response and sat down, Idris also taking a seat next to me.


    Zoe, sitting beside me, whispered, “Yvette, where has Maxy been recently? I can’t get in touch. with


    him.”


    I thought Maxwell had told Zoe about his trip to Lorrell. Surprised by her sudden question, I paused for


    a moment before saying, “He didn’t tell you where he went?”
