    Chapter 9 He Already Has a Crush


    The call was from Cicely.


    udia answered the phone call, “Hello, mom.”


    Cicely continued in a fret on the phone, “Get back now. I have something to talk to you.”


    After a few seconds of silence, udia replied, “OK.”


    Cicely was the one who took care of udia most in the Lamont family. After all, Cicely had paid the


    medical and other expenses for Eleanor.


    Edmond had wished udia to keep their divorce from Cicely when udia had asked for it.


    However, no one could keep anything from anyone forever. Someday Cicely would know about the


    divorce.


    It was drizzling outside. And the rain was falling down udia’s umbre.


    udia folded the umbre and stopped at the entrance of a vi.


    It was a detached vi, sorge that it could be considered a small estate. udia used to be a misfit


    in the vi when she moved in. Nevertheless, Cicely hadn’t looked down upon udia but helped her


    get ustomed to the new life in the vi.


    However, everything waspletely different…


    udia knocked on the door, and Cindy opened the door.

    Cindy smiled amiably. “Hello, udia. And Mrs. Lamont is waiting for you.”


    As soon as udia walked in, she noticed Cicely checking her cell phone on the sofa. Cicely frowned


    as if she was reading something unpleasant.


    “There you are.” Cicely raised her head and saw udia. Cicely patted the spot next to her and said,


    “Come here.


    “I’ve known what you’ve been through, my girl. I’m sorry about that.” Cicely’s eye rims were slightly red,


    indicating that she had secretly cried. “It’s Edmond’s fault. He doesn’t know how kind you are. You’ve


    helped him a lot. And Edmond shouldn’t treat you so badly. Edmond wille back soon. I’ll let you


    two have a talk.”


    After hearing Cicely’s words, udia felt uneasy. “Mom, Edmond and I…”


    “I understand you don’t crave money and fame. And your personality makes you vulnerable. I told


    myself not to meddle in your marriage before. But I can’t let you two break up now.” Cicely held


    udia’s hands tights with tears in her eyes. “udia, I cherish you so much. And I’d choose you to be


    my kid, not even Edmond.”


    Cicely’s words made udia feel moved. It was Cicely’s care to udia that udia could live a better


    life in the Lamont family over the past years.


    udia sobbed. “Even if I don’t want the divorce, Edmond will ask for it.”


    In addition, udia didn’t know whether she should tell Cicely what Edmond had told her on their


    wedding night.


    On the wedding night, Edmond had told udia that she could have money and status from him, but


    not love.


    Chapter Abeady as a viven


    Therefore, udia thought Edmond had already had a crush on someone else.

    udia had tried to be a good wife to Edmond over the years, wishing Edmond would fall in love with


    her someday. However, udia understood that she could not reach a settlement with Edmond unless


    Edmond stopped cherishing Rosalie,


    “I know Rosalie is a problem for you. But don’t worry. I won’t let her marry Edmond.” Cicely narrowed


    her eyes, with a gleam of sternness shing in her eyes. “I don’t care about how rich her family is, and


    she won’t be my daughter-inw.”


    In Cicely’s thought, Rosalie was aplete paramour, and such a shame for being a woman.


    Looking at udia, Cicely decided to confess to Edmond that the me should be on her, not udia,


    for what had happened that night.


    In addition, Cicely would tell Edmond what udia had secretly sacrificed for him over the years and


    how much udia loved him. Cicely thought, “Edmond must be regretful if he betrays udia.”


    “Don’t worry. I know the dispute between you two. And I’ll settle all the misunderstandings for you two


    tonight,” said Cicely.


    Cicely’s words didn’t cheer udia up.


    udia pursed her lips, saying in her mind, “We cannot make it up even if all the misunderstandings


    are resolved.”


    udia opened her mouth slightly and was about to exin. Suddenly, someone broke in and


    interrupted udia.


    The person was Edmond,


    Unexpectedly, Rosalie was following Edmond behind.


    Seeing Rosalic, Cicely stood up abruptly. “Why are you here?”


    Rosalie felt wronged and timidly hid behind Edmond, saying in a low voice, “Cicely.”


    “Get out!” Cicely showed Rosalie the door without hesitation.


    “I brought Rosalie here,” said Edmond.


    Cicely shivered out of anger because of Edmond’s words. “Do you know what you are doing? How


    could you bring Rosalie here? Are you embarrassing your wife? Let her out. I want to talk to you.”


    Edmond turned to look at udia. Thinking how Waldron had ruined his reputation for udia,


    Edmond looked much colder.


    Edmond had only doubted the rtionship between Waldron and udia before. But Edmond thought


    his guess was right at that moment.


    After all, Waldron had risked the gossip between udia and him.


    Edmond pursed his lips and looked away.


    “udia and I have divorced,” said Edmond.


    After hearing Edmond’s words, Cicely became astonished. “What are you saying?”


    “We have already signed the agreement and got the divorce certificate,” Edmond answered, ncing


    at udia.


    udia said nothing but smiled bitterly.


    udia thought, “There’s only an agreement but no divorce certificate.

    I know Edmond wants to put an end to Cicely’s desire for us to remarry.”


    Although udia had decided not to remarry Edmond, Edmond’s words inevitably hurt udia’s


    feelings.


    Rosalie stood by with a little wicked smile.


    Cicely discerned Rosalie’s smile. “Even though you two got a divorce, I won’t allow Rosalie to marry


    into our family.”


    “Cicely, do you loathe me?”


    Rosalie blurted her words as she didn’t want to get bullied.


    As a nobledy of the yton family, almost everyone tried to tter Rosalie, and even Cicely used to


    like Rosalie.


    However, Rosalie couldn’t understand why Cicely hated her so much without a sign. And Rosalie


    couldn’t ept the hatred from Cicely.


    Cicely couldn’t help sneering as she couldn’t expect Rosalie to say those words.


    Rosalie’s question seemed so stu pid that Cicely wanted to cast it aside.


    Cicely made no effort to roll her eyes. “Yes, I do.


    “You’ve hurt Tristen. And now you’re trying to hurt Edmond. How could I like you?


    “You caused Tristen’s death. And now you’re breaking Edmond’s family. Please tell me why I should


    like you. Rosalie, you’re so shameless to ask me that stu pid question.”


    Suddenly, tears welled up in Rosalie’s eyes.

    udia was astonished by Cicely’s words.


    It was not surprising that udia knew that Cicely had two sons. However, udia used to think


    Edmond’s elder brother Tristen


    Lamont’s death was an ident. Therefore, udia felt shocked that it had something to do with


    Rosalie.


    Rosalie clenched her sleeves, looking pleadingly at Cicely. “Cicely, please give me a chance to be your


    daughter-inw.”


    “Stop! How shameless you are!” Cicely stood up. “If it weren’t for you, Tristen wouldn’t have died. You


    brought disaster!”


    Hearing Tristen’s death, Rosalie refuted with hatred gleaming in her eyes, “Cicely, I told you his death


    had nothing to do with me.”


    udia was standing aside, looking grim-faced.


    udia thought, “Did Tristen die in a fire?


    Cicely’s words are a little elusive.


    Is there another story about Tristen’s death?”


    Rosalie wore an innocent smile. “Cicely, if you do miss Tristen, you should let Edmond marry me.


    Tristen is a kind man, and he must hope I’ll be happy…”


    Cicely couldn’t stand Rosalie’s words and raised her hand to p Rosalie fiercely.


    A secondter, Rosalie’s face became swollen.


    Edmond instantly put Rosalie behind his back. “Mom!”


    “Out now!” Cicely pointed at the door with a cold face.


    ( Auready Mad & Gen


    “Cicely, I’m sure udia has a big surprise for you.” Rosalie wore an evil smile. Waldron had been to a


    hospital a couple of days ago secretly. Therefore, Rosalie guessed udia was pregnant with


    Waldron’s kid as she thought udia and Waldron had a tryst.


    Rosalie thought, “Cicely must lose her marbles if she knows udia is pregnant with Waldron’s kid.”


    “It’s none of your business. udia will always be my daughter-inw! As for you, you’re always a


    shameless home wrecker, trying to break udia’s family!” Cicely turned to stare at Edmond with


    anger. “If you still think I am your mother, let Rosalie out!”


    “Edmond…” Rosalie got frightened and instantly hid behind Edmond’s back with timidity.

    Since Edmond didn’t do anything, Cicely’s face was livid with anger. Suddenly, Cicely got so weak and


    fell backward.


    “Mom!”


    “Cicely!”


    ***


    Cicely was carried into the emergency room of a hospital.


    Looking at the familiar corridor, udia started to tremble slightly.


    Thest time udia had been in the corridor, she had been saddened by the news of her


    grandmother’s death.


    “The me is on me…” Rosalie wore a sad face. “If it weren’t for me, Cicely wouldn’t have fainted.”


    Watching the familiar emergency room, udia recalled the day when her grandmother had passed


    away.


    stop!”


    Instantly, Rosalie stopped her tears.


    A renewed sense of hatred surged within udia when she turned to look at Rosalie coldly.


    “Edmond…” Rosalie hid behind Edmond’s back. At the same time, Edmond was keeping a straight


    face towards udia.


    udia pursed her lips and kept the same straight face. “I think you should send her away before your


    mom wakes up.”


    “No!” Rosalie became flustered. “I’ll stay here to look after Cicely. Edmond, please don’t let me go. I’ll


    take good care of her to ask for forgiveness.”


    “Ask for forgiveness?” udia sneered.


    At the same time, udia thought, “Rosalie didn’t feel guilty for my grandmother’s death. ·


    How ridiculous that she’s asking for forgiveness because of Cicely’s faint!”


    Chapter 10 Divorce


    “Rosalie, if you really want to atone for your crime, go away and leave my mom alone. She doesn’t


    want to see you.”


    “Edmond.” Rosalie held Edmond’s hand. “I’m not leaving. You know how much Cicely used to like me.


    Someone must’ve badmouthed me in front of her.”


    “Go away, Rosalie,” said Edmond.


    Rosalie was stunned, seemingly unable to believe her ears.


    “I am tired,” said Edmond.


    Rosalie looked at Edmond who wore a tired face, feeling upset.


    Rosalie didn’t expect Edmond to drive her away.


    Rosalie’s face was pale. She almost fell and said slowly, “Then I will wait for you outside.”


    Rosalie red at udia and ran away.


    Then only udia and Edmond were left in the long corridor.


    udia looked at the door of the emergency room, feeling distressed.


    udia looked at Edmond and said, “We should have a divorce as soon as possible.”


    Since udia had had a showdown, it would be better to have a divorce as soon as possible.


    Edmond wanted to ask about Waldron, but finally said, “Okay.”


    udia looked at the man whom she liked for many years, feeling agonized.


    They would have a divorce atst.


    udia wanted to find out the truth about her grandmother’s death, and she had to leave Edmond.


    The door of the emergency room was opened. A doctor walked out and took out his mask, revealing


    his serious face. He said, “The patient’s head was struck. A slight concussion.”


    udia let out a sigh of relief.


    “However…” the doctor paused for a while and said, “we noticed that her org ans are diseased. Further


    check is advised to take.”


    Her org ans were diseased!


    udia almost fell.


    udia’s grandmother once had diseased org ans, and she waster diagnosed with terminal cancer.


    During the three years of her marriage with Edmond, it was Edmond’s mother Cicely who had kept


    udiapany. Cicely was more likely udia’s friend, who warmed udia.


    This time, it couldn’t be a minor illness.


    udia was sorrowful.


    Looking at the doctor’s serious face, Edmond had a bad feeling for it.


    “Give her a full work-up. Then what else can we do?”


    “Keep herpany and talk with her more. The sequel of concussion


    Chapter 10 Divorce


    can’t be neglected.”


    After the doctor left, udia looked at Edmond and found a sad face.


    Edmond’s brother died. Then his father passed away. Now his mother was seriously ill. udia found


    that Edmond was also a poor guy.


    udia said tly, “There is not the final result. Maybe the situation is not so bad.”


    Edmond looked at udia for a while. He bit his lips and nodded.


    The nurse sent Cicely who was sleeping to the ward. Just as Edmond and udia were about to walk


    to Cicely, Rosalie immediately ran


    over.


    “Your mom is sent to an ordinary ward. She must be fine soon.” Rosalie smiled and said, “I know that


    your mom will be fine soon.’


    Rosalie’s smile was weird in the quiet ward.


    Finding no smiles on.udia’s and Edmond’s faces, Rosalie didn’t finish her word. “What’s wrong?”


    “You go home now,” Edmond finally said, “and we talk about it next time.”


    Edmond didn’t want to see Rosalie.


    Rosalie was upset.


    Finally, Rosalie had to nod and said, “Okay.”


    If it was the past, Rosalie would ask why. Now udia was here, Rosalie was afraid that she would


    lose Edmond’s heart.


    Rosalie had to nod and pretend that she knew nothing.
