Chapter 28

When Steven returned home in the evening, Deborah and her daughter greeted him with a smile. "You're back!" Steven nodded and went to sit down on the sofa. Deborah said to Lily, "Lily, make some tea for your father." Then, she followed Steven and sat down next to him. "Steven, I heard that Irene is back?"

Steven nodded. "Yes, Irene is back!"

Deborah didn't expect that Steven had already met with Irene. Irene showed up after disappearing for years. It couldn't be that simple. Thinking of that, she asked tentatively, "Then why didn't you bring her home? That child has suffered so much! We should care for her more." Deborah acted like a loving mother.

"It's not the right time. Irene still holds a deep grudge against me! She won't forgive me!" Steven sighed. "It's all my fault. I wasn't considerate back then. That was why both Lily and Irene had to suffer!"

Deborah also sighed when she saw Steven mentioned the past. "We were only doing it for Irene's own good. How could we expect that such a thing would happen? Steven, why don't we talk to Irene and explain it to her in person?"

"Irene is very stubborn. I'm afraid it's no use for you to explain it to her!"

It seemed that Irene wasn't planning on forgiving Steven. Deborah breathed a sigh of relief. "What should we do then? I can't stop worrying since she is all alone now."

"This can't be rushed! We have to take it slow!" Steven sighed, "Deborah, you need to be kind to Irene if she is willing to come back. You have to be patient with her, even if she is rude to you."

"I know. Don't worry. I know what to do."

"And Lily," Steven looked at Lily and said, "You also need to treat Irene better. Let her vent her anger, and don't fight with her if she wants something."

"Dad, I understand," Lily also answered obediently.

Deborah glanced at her daughter, then shifted her eyes to her husband. "What about Lily and Edric's engagement ceremony?"

"I'll talk to Madam Myers!" Steven answered.

Deborah obviously looked relieved. "I'm afraid that Irene will not take it well. Even though we did it at that time out of kindness, Lily and

Edric are indeed together now..."

"It's not Lily's fault. I'm the one to blame," Steven sighed, "I'll explain this to Irene later, little by little. Now you just need to remember not to provoke her." "Don't worry. Lily and I will never provoke Irene."

Steven was very satisfied with Deborah's promise. "In addition to that, there is one more thing I have to tell you. After Lily and Edric get married, I will leave all the property of our family to Irene as compensation."

"I didn't marry you for the property, and Lily will never fight with Irene for that." Deborah answered readily. The property of the Cook family was nothing comparing with Edric's. Only a fool like Irene would give up Edric.

I only want Edric and nothing else," Lily also made a statement. Steven was gratified by the understanding of his wife and daughter. "Sorry for
