The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 197

“So you’re telling me Everest is back,” Mum says, and I slightly nod.

“I have already demanded extra security for the house, Emily. I promise you, Rosie’s safety is my priority,” Silas assures my

mum.

“Don’t come to the fashion house until all of this is resolved, okay? I don’t want you to make any movement that we may regret later.” Mum tells me. I don’t want to be confined within this house. I remember how they all used to breathe down my neck when Everest was stalking me during college.

I regret befriending him, let alone dating him at some point in my life. He is one of the biggest regrets of my life.

“I have to go now, but I won’t stay out for long. I will be back once I’m done with the session, yeah?” Silas says, standing up. He places one hand on the back of my head and bends to kiss my head then goes to kiss Mum on the cheek.

“Bye Lily.” He also kisses my sister’s cheek before he leaves the house.

When he closes the front door behind him, Mum looks at me with a smile. “I have a feeling that you two are working on fixing your relationship,” She comments, causing me to blush.

“Yeah, you can say that. We haven’t really talked about anything yet, but I no longer want a divorce. If he still wants this marriage, we won’t be getting a divorce,” I tell Mum.

“It’s so good to hear that. I know that Silas loves you with everything in his heart, so I’m glad that you two managed to get over what happened,” she says. What makes her so sure now that Silas won’t be the one to ask for divorce now? Maybe he doesn’t want to stay with me anymore.

I refrain from saying anything, because I don’t think there’s anything I should say. I have to wait and see Silas’s decision.

“I’m going to prepare us lunch. I will make you something light. Silas has already shown me the list of what you can eat,” Mum tells me, getting up.

“Okay, Mum. I’m going to the backyard with Lily because there’s something I want to talk to her about.” Mum and Lily both give me a look of confusion, but Mum just nods and walks away.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Lily wonders.
