Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 He Never Cared for Her 

With a smile on his face, Liam coaxed Madam Young, saying, “It’s nothing major. Mr. Zachary just can’t decide on something and thought Iddy should have a look.” 

Upon hearing this, Idris stood up and addressed Madam Young, “Grandma, I’ll go check it out and come back soon.” 

Madam Young could only nod in response and wave him off, saying, “Go ahead,” 

Idris nodded. His gaze lingered briefly on me, as if suggesting I should stay and chat with Grandma for a while. I did not look at him. My eyes fell on the half–eaten apple in my hand, finding its taste excessively sweet. I did not like it. 

After Idris left, the ward became lively again. Liam chatted with Madam Young, mostly about his interesting encounters abroad. The novelty of his stories made her laugh. 

Emily sat quietly on the side. She seemed to always speak very little. Her beautiful eyes watched Liam as he amused Madam Young, filled with love and admiration. 

For a moment, I felt a bit dazed. These two had been married for many years, but after all this time, Emily’s gaze still held love and admiration for Liam. It seemed he was truly the light of her life. 

Perhaps noticing my gaze, Emily was slightly embarrassed and averted her eyes. Her cheeks were a bit flushed, and she said to me, “Are you thirsty? I’ll get you a glass of water.” 

Seeing her get up and go to the living room outside the ward to fill the water, I quickly got up and followed her out. The ward where Madam Young lived was a one–bedroom–one–living room, with everything in the living room. 

I stopped Emily as she was about to pour the water out, and shook my head while saying, Emily, I’m not thirsty.” 

She nodded, her face still a little red. It was probably because I saw her being infatuated with Liam, so she was a little embarrassed. 

Seeing her reaction, I could not help but smile and said, “I really envy the two of you. You two are so in love.” 

Emily coughed softly, her voice gentle and sweet. “You and Iddy have it pretty good too, since you guys can be together often. Liam is abroad most of the year, and we only get to see each other for two or three months annually.” 

I smiled faintly. “Didn’t grandma say that once the project in Northern Ollibery is settled, Liam can return home?” 

Emily nodded. “Yes, but there’s still a lot to handle with the project over there. We don’t know when it will be completed.” After saying this, she looked down slightly and touched her flat stomach, adding, “I hope the project gets done soon, so he can come back earlier.” 

Seeing her affectionate gesture, I could not help but express my surprise, “Emily, you aren’t… are you?” 

Her l*ps curved up slightly, revealing a shy smile. “Yes, but it hasn’t been long. Please keep it a secret for now. Once Grandma’s health improves, and we all go to the resort, I’ll tell everyone.”

I nodded and could not help but ask, “Was it during Liam’s last visit back home?” 

She hummed in affirmation, a bit embarrassed. “We forgot contraception at that time. I didn’t expect to get pregnant so soon. I just found out, but it’s a good thing. Ashley is also growing up, and adding another baby to the family will make it more lively. You should also take care of yourself and maybe try harder with Iddy. Who knows? You might be next.” 

I smiled faintly, not mentioning my situation with Idris, and shifted back the conversation to her, chatting about the baby. 

While we were talking, a heart–wrenching cry from a woman echoed from outside. Emily and I stopped talking and walked toward the door in unison. 

Stepping out of the ward, we saw Moore. She was pale, still in her hospital gown, looking extremely weak. It was not clear what had happened, but at that moment, her eyes were red and tearful as she stared at Idris, her pale face showing stubbornness and resentment.
