Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1509

Chapter 1509 Destined To Be

Violet observed Tillie closely while casting a question toward Alice.

“Well. That’s the best she could do, I guess.”

The color drained from Tillie’s face as she heard those insulting words.

At that instance, she really felt like disappearing from that house.

After making supper, Tillie went back to her room and sat decadently in front of the dressing table. She stared into the mirror for a long while. Then, she stood up and walked toward her wardrobe, taking out some clothes.

The last thing she wanted was to become crazy in such a place.

Right then, a car drove into the compound of the house.

Beep!

“Who’s that? It’s Edmund! Mom, hurry up and finish up your food! Let’s go back to our room!”

Those women downstairs panicked upon hearing the sound of the car outside.

Tillie was stunned momentarily.

Is he really back?

At that moment, she felt like her heart started beating once again. All the sorrow and hatred within her heart vanished instantly. Without hesitation, she put her clothes back into her wardrobe and ran out of her room.

“E-Edmund, are you back?”

Standing on the stairs, she spotted a familiar face in the living room. Beyond delighted, she wanted to run toward him and hug him tightly.

Nonetheless, she called his name gently and walked down the stairs cautiously.

No one knew she was actually in love with him since a long time ago.

Back then, Benedict brought Edmund to attend a private party at the White family’s place. He was only fourteen years old at the time. As he was an illegitimate child, many would point fingers at him while Benedict was not around.

Yet, he did not seem to be bothered at all.

His young and smooth face displayed an unyielding and arrogant expression, as though he was not intimidated by anyone in this world.

Since then, Tillie had a profound impression of him.

After all, she had always received criticisms from others because she did not have a pretty face nor a powerful background.

Unlike him, she did not have the courage nor the will.

Just then, Tillie approached Edmund hesitantly.

But as soon as he saw Tillie, his previous calm face displayed a sense of disgust. He did not even try to disguise his feelings.

“Why haven’t you gone to bed?”
