Chapter 1747
Given the sudden turn of events at Solomon's end, everyone at Oceanic Estate prepared to travel to Avenport once they had completed the celebrations on the first day of the new year.
As for the Coopers, they had initially planned to visit Oceanic estate on the second day.
But after learning of the news, they visited that very afternoon instead.
"Happy New Year, Old Mr.Jadeson."
Entering with gifts in his hands, Edmund was as high-spirited as usual.
When he saw Jonathan, Devin, and the others, he burst into laughter as he greeted all of them.
After patting him on the shoulder, Devin led him to have coffee with Jonathan.
While the men went off for guys’ talk, the women were left behind.
Other than Tillie, Riley had also joined them on the visit.
"Riley, have you recovered? I heard that you were sick the last time you came back.How are you feeling now?"
Sasha inquired with concern the moment she saw her.
After all, Riley was a big help when both her two children were in Yorksland and Elysium.
Riley shook her head.
"I'm fine now.In fact, I recovered a long time ago.By the way, where's Kurt? How is he? Has he recovered too?"
She quickly thought about Kurt.
Sasha explained to her that Kurt was doing all right.
Since it was the first day of the new year, everyone was in good spirits except for one person.
Standing amidst the laughter and joyous atmosphere, she looked a little dejected and seemed to be forcing a smile.
In fact, the pale look on her face even made her look sick.
When she saw Tillie's ashen look, Sasha pulled Riley aside and asked, "What happened? Is your sister-in-law not feeling well?"
Riley responded with a sigh.
"They got into an argument again last night.Since it was New Year's Eve, Tillie spent the whole day preparing a scrumptious dinner.However, Edmund didn't come home for dinner and spent the evening at someone else's home."
Sasha was dumbstruck.She didn't expect much from their relationship.
But after so many years of them being married, she was shocked that Edmund was still fooling around.
"Riley, this can't be allowed.You must talk to your brother.Look at how miserable Tillie looks.I sure hope that nothing is wrong with her? Sasha reminded Riley.However, Riley didn't manage to read between the lines of Sasha's words.
"Of course I did, but it has fallen on deaf ears.That aside, I'm sure you're unaware that both of them made a pact when they got married"
