Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1749

Chapter 1749 

By the time Edmund woke up the next morning, it was already late in the day.

After he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while, he jumped out of bed immediately.

This isn't Cooper residence.It's one of the properties I bought a few years ago.

Suddenly, footsteps rang out from outside.

A young woman in a beige knitted top and short grey skirt entered the room upon hearing the movements inside.

"Are you awake?"

Holding a bowl of hot broth in her hand, she was none other than his legally married wife, Tillie.

Edmund's heart tightened the moment he saw her.

"Why am I here? Didn't we return to Cooper residence last night?" he demanded in displeasure.

After that, he lay down again, as soreness reverberated throughout his body.

Meanwhile, Tillie put the broth down on the table beside the bed.

"You were drunk last night and insisted on coming here.Hence, I have no choice but to comply."

Laying in bed, Edmund finally fell silent.

After retracting his gaze from Tillie, he closed his eyes to rest briefly before sitting back up.It was true that he disliked staying at Cooper residence.

After all, he was constantly irritated by the sight of Tillie.

But since it was the holidays, he spent a few days there out of respect for her.It looks like I was really drunk last night.

Edmund proceeded to the bathroom.

Just when he lifted the toilet bowl cover to poop, the wobbliness in his legs struck again.

Also, the soreness in his hips felt as if he had done something vigorous the night before.It actually aches every time I move.

This is really weird, for I didn't do anything yesterday.

After washing up, Edmund came out of the bathroom.

"Let's go."

He grabbed his jacket and prepared to head back to the Cooper residence.

However, Tillie, who was in the living room, didn't follow him out as expected.

Instead, she watched him come down while remaining seated on the couch.

"Edmund, I need to talk to you."

Talk? About what? Can it be that my sisters have caused trouble again? And that I need to clean up their mess? Edmund's reflex was to think about his sisters, causing his expression to darken.

All these years, Tillie had managed the Cooper family affairs very well, to the extent that Edmund could delegate it entirely to her.

It was for the same reason that he had to constantly hear from her about the problems his useless sisters caused.
