Chapter 154 Don’t Want to Remarry
udia’s eyelid twitched uncontrobly.
Waldron said this only after she found out that she was pregnant with Edmond’s child, but Edmond was
unaware that the child was his!
“I have something to do, so I’ll leave first,” Everett immediately stood up and pulled Yvette along as
they walked out.
Yvette struggled free as Everett held onto her tightly, coughing a few times.
She nced at udia, then took a few nces at Edmond, gritted her teeth and followed them.
Horace, Edmond, and udia stared at each other in astonishment.
Horace did not voluntarily suggest leaving and was about to say something to udia when Edmond
tapped his hand on the table and asked softly, “Mr. Ferguson, do you intend to stay here overnight?”
This statement directly carries a strategic nature.
Horace could clearly feel that Edmond’s attitude had changed since Waldron’s voice message was
sent.
“Mr. Lamont was joking. My rtionship with udia hasn’t reached that stage yet. Besides, if you like
her, you should respect her,” Horace said gently, smiling with elegance and grace. “It’s gettingte,
shouldn’t you leave too? As her ex-husband, you should be mindful of avoiding suspicion.”
Ex-husband, avoiding suspicion…
Edmond’s chin tightened, and his face looked somewhat unpleasant.
Watching the two of them confront each other, udia had a headache.
“It’s indeed a bitte, both of you go ahead, I’m a bit tired and want to wash up and rest carly.” Today,
not only was she tricked by her own brother once, but also had a headache caused by these two men.
Watching her tired expression as she held her forehead, Edmond slowly stood up.
Seeing him stand up, Horace also stood up.
“Let’s go together, Mr. Lamont. I have something to say to you.
Edmond nodded and walked to the door with him.
When they reached the door, both of them unconsciously stopped.
Horace looked at Edmond in confusion and said, “Mr. Lamont, what are you doing?”
Don’t want to leave? Can’t bear to leave?
Horace’s handsome and gentle eyebrows twitched, just about to say something when he was forcefully
pushed and the door mmed shut with a “bang”.
Horace stood alone outside the door and said, “…
He was pushed out by Edmond, while Edmond stayed inside.
“Edmond, what do you mean?!”
Horace couldn’t help but burst into a loud curse.
udia stood nearby, staring in astonishment.
She never expected that Edmond could do such a thing.
Edmond turned around and nced at her, casually walking toward
her.
In the dim light, his figure stood tall and straight, with handsome features. The corner of his lips curved
into a meaningful smile as he said, “Did you tell them that I don’t clean up after eating?
“Not long after we had a rtionship, you brought up divorce with me. It was you who ate and wiped
clean without taking responsibility, right?”
udia’s expression froze for a moment, and she couldn’t help but cough.
When she was alone with Horace, she remained calm, but she still felt a bit nervous when there were
only her and Edmond in the house.
She didn’t show it, she just took a few steps back, subconsciously creating distance between them.
Seeing her subconscious movement, Edmond raised an eyebrow and his gaze deepened.
Under the warm-colored lights, her beautiful face blushed, like a freshly peeled egg stained with rouge,
enchanting and alluring
No wonder even Horace couldn’t tear himself away, her appearance has always had the capital to
charm men.
udia stiffened her neck and lowered her voice, “Mr. Lamont, are you staying just to find out about
this? It’s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room. Why don’t you go home first,
and we can discuss it another day if there’s something important.”
She nced at the door and it was clear that she wanted to hurry
someone.
Edmond’s gaze was as calm as water as he reached out his hand and handed her a set of keys. “I
bought a t in the same building as this one in the neighborhood. It’s not good for you to live in
Horace’s house…”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, “For three years of marriage, you didn’t ask for
anything. You can live in this house with peace of mind, and don’t live in Horace’s.”
This was also his purpose foring today, to give her a house.
He knew the owner of the real estate in this neighborhood, and after learning that Horace had given her
a house, he also bought one.
She came out of the Friedan family with nowhere to live. Her grandmother’s old house was unsafe, so
instead of waiting for her to use someone else’s house, he decided to give her a set.
Looking at this bunch of keys, udia paused for a moment and then smiled, “I’m really lucky. Every
now and then, someone gives me a
house.”
She did not take the key.
She smiled calmly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lamont. I intend to buy Horace’s house and I have no
intention of epting his gift, nor yours.
She chose to start from scratch in order to avoid getting too involved with him, as well as with any other
men.
Ervin and Waldron’s intention, she understood, was simply hoping that she would remarry someone
who treated her well.
But she simply didn’t want to get married again.
If Horace refused to sell it to her, she would have to move out, but definitely not move into Edmond’s
house.
Her refusal came as no surprise to him.
After the divorce, she was like a bird freed from its cage, growing beautiful wings, no longer the canary
protected by him.
He ced the key on the table and said in a gloomy tone, “Consider it a gift for the child.”
udia’s heart suddenly rose to her throat, her intertwined hands trembled slightly, and her pupils
contracted.
His attitude today was very strange.
What did the mother-inw say to him in the end?
udia dared not respond, as she did not know how much Edmond actually knew.
“Horace is not suitable for you,” Edmond added, “His family is tooplicated, and you will suffer if you
marry him.”
He had already investigated it. Horace’s mother was very dissatisfied with udia and was already on
her way.
If she were in the Friedan family or perhaps the Ferguson family, she might have tolerated it for the
sake of the Friedan family. However, she broke ties with the Friedan family and lost their protection.
With a mother-inw like this, and with children to take care of, her days would not be easy.
He nced at her still t belly, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his tone obscure: “After all, we are a
married couple. I don’t want to see you suffer.”
udia chuckled lightly, her voice as calm as water, “Thanks for the reminder, no one in this world can
make me feel wronged.”
All her grievances were endured during the three years she was married to him.
“As long as one doesn’t mind, there won’t be any grievances.”
udia’s tone was t and simple, but in one sentence, she expressed all her grievances.
Edmond’s pupils contracted, and then he furrowed his brow.
Doesn’t everything matter anymore because of grievances?
For some reason, Edmond’s heart tightened slightly upon hearing her calmly say these words.
“You have the key, there is no reason to take back what I have already given away.”
udia smiled, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him with interest. “You want me to not stay at
Horace’s house, but stay at your house, Mr. Lamont. Do you think I haven’t had enough rumors
surrounding me recently and want to add fuel to the fire?”
She twisted the key and ced it in his hand, saying, “I appreciate your kindness, but please leave. I
need to rest.’
After saying these words, she turned around without hesitation and mmed the door shut with a loud
“bang”.
Edmond’s thin lips tightened into a line, and a chilling coldness filled his eyes.
The key in his hand was extremely cold, so cold that it made his stomach ache faintly.
He didn’t eat. If it were in the past, she would definitely have persuaded him to eat or cooked for him
personally.
After the divorce, however, there were men who eagerly offered to cook for her.
Maybe, as she said, if you don’t care, you won’t feel wronged.
udiay in bed and heard the sound of the door closing, knowing that person had left.
At the thought of his words, her eyes dimmed.
Waldfon happened to send a message: “Thomas said he wille to see you with us tomorrow, do
you agree?”N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
