Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1516

Chapter 1516 Just A Deal

Yet, to Gabriella’s surprise, Edmund responded, “Is there a problem? You’re all relying on the Zander family’s money, so what’s wrong with her being the head of the household? It’s already good that she’s letting you enjoy your stay here.”

He’s not holding me accountable for that? In fact, he agrees that they’re the leech?

Meanwhile, Gabriella was livid after hearing Edmund’s response.

“We’re the one living off the Zander family’s money? Are you not working? Edmund, are you even a man? You’re one of the Coopers, so how can you shamelessly say such things?”

“Why should I be ashamed? I married her because of the Coopers, didn’t I?” he nonchalantly stated.

Immediately, Gabriella’s face turned red, utterly furious. At the same time, Tillie stiffened when she heard that.

She had mixed feelings as she stared at the man downstairs.

It’s not like he’s doing any better. For the Cooper family, he has come to the Zander family to propose to me even though he doesn’t like me; even though he has someone he loves, he still has to marry someone he doesn’t at all. That’s tough, isn’t it? That’s why there’s nothing wrong with what he says now.

Eventually, Gabriella slinked away, but Tillie continued to quietly stand there and watch the man walk up the stairs.

It seemed like he did not expect her to stand there as he froze when their eyes met. This is the first time he properly looked at me, Tillie thought to herself.

Nevertheless, their locked gaze only lasted a few seconds. The surprise in his eyes died away, and he turned to head toward his bedroom.

Unable to hold herself back anymore, Tillie cried out, “Edmund, wait! I have something to tell you.”

Then, for the first time, she mustered enough courage to run toward him.

Edmund stopped and turned to look at her coldly.

He hated her. Not only because of her face but also because she reminded him of how much of a failure he was.

He never thought that he would end up living like that.

He never thought that he would need marriage to complete certain things.

“Edmund, I just want to explain that I’m not thinking of being the head of the Cooper family. Mom and Violet asked the housemaid to buy something, but the housemaid didn’t. I think it’s because the housemaid only wanted my approval since I’m the one who hired her,” she explained.

However, the man seemed unfazed by it.
