Chapter 9 He Already Has a Crush

The call was from Cicely.

Claudia answered the phone call, “Hello, mom.”

Cicely continued in a fret on the phone, “Get back now. I have something to talk to you.”

After a few seconds of silence, Claudia replied, “OK.”

Cicely was the one who took care of Claudia most in the Lamont family. After all, Cicely had paid the medical and other expenses for Eleanor.

Edmond had wished Claudia to keep their divorce from Cicely when Claudia had asked for it.

However, no one could keep anything from anyone forever. Someday Cicely would know about the divorce.

It was drizzling outside. And the rain was falling down Claudia’s umbrella.

Claudia folded the umbrella and stopped at the entrance of a villa.

It was a detached villa, so large that it could be considered a small estate. Claudia used to be a misfit in the villa when she moved in. Nevertheless, Cicely hadn’t looked down upon Claudia but helped her get accustomed to the new life in the villa.

However, everything was completely different…

Claudia knocked on the door, and Cindy opened the door.

Cindy smiled amiably. “Hello, Claudia. And Mrs. Lamont is waiting for you.”

As soon as Claudia walked in, she noticed Cicely checking her cell phone on the sofa. Cicely frowned as if she was reading something unpleasant.

“There you are.” Cicely raised her head and saw Claudia. Cicely patted the spot next to her and said, “Come here.

“I’ve known what you’ve been through, my girl. I’m sorry about that.” Cicely’s eye rims were slightly red, indicating that she had secretly cried. “It’s Edmond’s fault. He doesn’t know how kind you are. You’ve helped him a lot. And Edmond shouldn’t treat you so badly. Edmond will come back soon. I’ll let you two have a talk.”

After hearing Cicely’s words, Claudia felt uneasy. “Mom, Edmond and I…”

“I understand you don’t crave money and fame. And your personality makes you vulnerable. I told myself not to meddle in your marriage before. But I can’t let you two break up now.” Cicely held Claudia’s hands tights with tears in her eyes. “Claudia, I cherish you so much. And I’d choose you to be my kid, not even Edmond.”

Cicely’s words made Claudia feel moved. It was Cicely’s care to Claudia that Claudia could live a better life in the Lamont family over the past years.

Claudia sobbed. “Even if I don’t want the divorce, Edmond will ask for it.”

In addition, Claudia didn’t know whether she should tell Cicely what Edmond had told her on their wedding night.

On the wedding night, Edmond had told Claudia that she could have money and status from him, but not love.

Therefore, Claudia thought Edmond had already had a crush on someone else.

Claudia had tried to be a good wife to Edmond over the years, wishing Edmond would fall in love with her someday. However, Claudia understood that she could not reach a settlement with Edmond unless Edmond stopped cherishing Rosalie,

“I know Rosalie is a problem for you. But don’t worry. I won’t let her marry Edmond.” Cicely narrowed her eyes, with a gleam of sternness flashing in her eyes. “I don’t care about how rich her family is, and she won’t be my daughter-in-law.”

In Cicely’s thought, Rosalie was a complete paramour, and such a shame for being a woman.

Looking at Claudia, Cicely decided to confess to Edmond that the blame should be on her, not Claudia, for what had happened that night.

In addition, Cicely would tell Edmond what Claudia had secretly sacrificed for him over the years and how much Claudia loved him. Cicely thought, “Edmond must be regretful if he betrays Claudia.”

“Don’t worry. I know the dispute between you two. And I’ll settle all the misunderstandings for you two tonight,” said Cicely.

Cicely’s words didn’t cheer Claudia up.

Claudia pursed her lips, saying in her mind, “We cannot make it up even if all the misunderstandings are resolved.”

Claudia opened her mouth slightly and was about to explain. Suddenly, someone broke in and interrupted Claudia.
