Chapter 1520 Can I Speak To You

“Hello? I-It’s me, Tillie.”

“What is it?” Edmund responded in an indifferent tone.

Nonetheless, there was an improvement from before. At the very least, he wasn’t exasperated by what he usually

saw at home. In fact, he even bothered to answer her call.

“I-I am visiting Ms. Sabrina. Since Mr. Jadeson and the others are back, she wants to invite us t-to have dinner

together. Can you make it?”

She was extremely nervous, as she hadn’t even told him about her daily visits to the hospital.

Just as she expected, she could sense the tension over the phone the moment she mentioned Sabrina.

Consequently, she didn’t even dare make a sound.

“How dare you—”

Unable to tolerate what was going on, Sabrina snatched the phone over. “Dare what? Edmund, let me warn you.

You’re not allowed to scold Tillie. I was the one who got her to call you, so you had better come quickly. By the time

Devin calls you, it will be too late.”

From the time Edmund was infuriated by Tillie spraining her ankle at the bar, Sabrina understood the marital

problems they were going through.

Ever since then, Tillie never came over.

Reading between the lines, she was certain that Edmund was upset with his newly-wedded wife.

Moreover, she had seen all the gorgeous women he had been with. It served to cement her impression that it was

difficult for him to be attracted to someone as ordinary-looking as Tillie.

Only after the scolding did Edmund succumb and agree to join them.

By the time it was nightfall, Sasha and the others had arrived in Jadeborough. At the same time, Sabrina was

already dressed and waiting for them in the hospital.

As for Tillie, she was filled with anxiety.

When Edmund arrived at the hospital, he didn’t blame Tillie after being reprimanded by Sabrina.

When Sasha and the rest arrived, he drove her to dinner.

Considering how unsettled Tillie was, she struggled with herself in the back of the car before finally deciding to

explain herself.

“Edmund, I-I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. I was just worried that you would be angry when you found out. As

Ms. Sabrina has business ties with my family, it was natural for me to visit her at the hospital.”

Although Edmund didn’t say a word, it was obvious from his facial expression that he was feeling upset.

The thing he hated the most was someone disturbing Sabrina because she was his threshold. As long as one stayed

away from her, anything could be negotiable.

Nevertheless, after hearing Tillie’s words, he suddenly felt as if he had been overly suspicious over the matter.

Finally, he calmed himself down and snapped, “The next time you want to pull a stunt like that, tell me first.”

Tillie was delighted by his response.

Obviously, she would definitely do so.

After all, him not blaming her was the greatest mercy he had ever shown her.

Considering she was one big step closer to success, Tillie’s mind was finally put at ease.

That evening, everyone gathered merrily at a hotel, as they had not seen each other in a while. As for Tillie, she

managed to socialize with the others in a more natural manner after having the burden lifted off her chest.

“Mrs. Cooper, I heard that you have done a wonderful job of taking over the responsibilities of the Cooper family.”

“Not at all. It’s all because… Edmund was willing to give me an opportunity to try.”

When Tillie saw Sasha approach her on her own accord, she could feel her heart in her throat. In fact, she even

stammered when she spoke.

With regards to the few women, Tillie admired Sabrina for how outspoken she was.

However, Sasha, as the lady of the Jadeson family, was the one who truly struck fear into her.

Back when the nation was in chaos a few years ago, she had worked together with her husband to save it.

Consequently, no one dared to trifle with someone like that.

Even the ladies of Jadeborough high society feared and respected Sasha, let alone someone like Tillie.

With her hands drenched in sweat, Tillie pulled herself together to face Sasha.

Sasha remarked, “It was your capabilities that earned his trust in the first place. To be honest, Edmund is in need of

a capable wife to assist him. The only thing we could help him with was to make your marriage a success. With

regards to truly restoring the Cooper family to its past glory, the tasks still lie on both your shoulders.”

Speaking with a faint smile, Sasha’s tone was extremely calm.

In contrast to that, Tillie’s eye widened in shock as she stared blankly at Sasha.

“A-Are you saying that it was your idea that Edmund came to my house to ask for my hand?”

“That’s right.” Sasha plainly nodded.

“Technically speaking, it was my husband’s idea. Mrs. Cooper, Edmund saved his life before and is also Devin’s good

friend. Therefore, we treat him as family and naturally want to see him live an increasingly good life.”

Sasha’s last sentence had clearly conveyed her intentions.
