Chapter 164

Steven exited the cafe and returned home. At his arrival, Deborah welcomed him. "Why are you back so early today?"

Steven snorted. "Where's Lily?"

"She's sleeping upstairs."

"It's the middle of the day; why is she still asleep? Ask her to come down. I have something to ask her." Steven's face darkened.

Deborah immediately ascended the stairs and pushed open the door to Lily's bedroom. She lowered her voice and spoke, "Hey, your dad wants to ask you about Edric. Do as Marie says. Don't ever blunder, understand?" "Alright." After freshening up, Lily went out of the bedroom.

Looking at Steven's sullen face in the living room, Lily felt somewhat nervous. She didn't even know why she was afraid of Steven. "Dad, you're looking for me?" she asked, pretending to be nonchalant.

Steven snorted and gestured to Lily to sit down opposite him. "What's going on between you and Edric?"

"Nothing special, Dad," Lily answered, looking innocent.

"Really?" Steven just stared at Lily. "Let me ask you, have you met him in private?"

"I did." Lily lowered her voice.

"So are you the reason why Irene and Edric are in such a mess right now?" he demanded.

"Dad, that has nothing to do with me." Lily shook her head.

"Do you mean it?" Stoic, Steven looked at her. Lily was stunned by his scorching gaze. "Dad, I swear! It's all Edric's fault... He was drunk... And then... I didn't tell anyone, not even Mom. It's none of my business that Irene is in a row with him."

It was a blatant admission that she had slept with Edric. Steven had been hoping that Marie was just spouting nonsense, but now he was genuinely furious.

He grabbed the glass in front of him and smashed it on the floor. "Didn't I warn you not to go near Edric? So you'd just completely ignored my words?!"

"I didn't mean it... Dad... I really didn't know it would turn out like this." Lily sobbed.

"That Rowane called me and told me that Edric was drunk. She asked me to take him home. I didn't think much about it, and I didn't know... that Edric would pounce on me like a madman. It was useless for me to struggle; he was way stronger than me. Then... he fell asleep and I... I sent him home. Aunt Margaret is the only one who knows about this. I can vouch, no one else knows."
