Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

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.
