Revenge Against My Ex-husband
Chapter 189 Gifting Bird's Nest

Margaret saw that Irene's figure was very thin. She knew that she was worried about Eden's health, so she comforted and gave Irene some advice. Irene's priority was to take care of herself to ensure the baby in her stomach developed healthily, and Eden's illness would also be cured in time.

After talking for a while, Margaret bid them goodbye and left. On the way back, Margaret was still worried. Irene was so slim and weak, so would her baby be healthy? She had to replace a way to make Irene gain more weight. Margaret thought about buying some nutritious food to nourish Irene's body.

After returning home, Margaret specifically looked into recipes for pregnant women and found out that pregnant women in Singapore and Hong Kong had begun to eat bird's nests during the first two or three months. It not only made the mother strong, but would also make the future newborn child stronger, more fair, beautiful, and have a stronger immune system.

The bird's nest was a nourishing product. Margaret's eyes lit up and she decided to send Irene some bird's nest to nourish her body.

Margaret had eaten a lot of bird's nests during the past few years, so she had plenty of it in the house. She asked Loraine to replace them to be gifted to Irene.

Deborah had asked Loraine to keep an eye on Margaret's every move. Of course, Loraine would listen to her. She literally watched Margaret's every single move unwaveringly. She had even looked carefully a the gifts Margaret bought for Irene and the child. She reported to Deborah about everything, and Deborah praised her for being so careful. Seeing that Margaret was going to send Irene the bird's nests, she immediately told Deborah in secret.

Hearing this, Deborah came up with a plan. She gave Loraine an order, and Loraine nodded repeatedly.

During dinner in the evening, Loraine took the initiative to tell Margaret that she was best at cooking bird's nest. It would be better for her to make the dish and then let Margaret send it to Irene, as it would be more sincere.

Margaret reckoned that what she said made sense. The bird's nest was not only for Irene's health, but was also a token of appreciation towards Irene. She decided to send it to Irene personally after it was done.

She had lived a comfortable life all these years and rarely cooked. If she cooked the bird's nest for Irene, Irene would be so moved by her sincerity and might even decide to start over with Edric again, which would be wonderful.

After Margaret had left, Irene was very confused. Margaret had bought so many gifts, and it was obvious that she had put so much effort into it. Looking at how careful she was with Eden, she felt a little touched.

Thomas also said that Margaret was acting completely differently from before. While they were talking, Irene's phone rang. She picked up and heard Lily's voice, "Irene, how have you been?" Irene frowned, "What can I do for you, Miss Cook?"

"Did you receive gifts today?" Lily asked.

"How did you know?"

"Because I've also received them. I wonder if Aunt Margaret treats us equally?" Lily continued, saying that Aunt Margaret had sent her some pregnancy supplies that day. She even mentioned the same items. Irene looked at the gifts near her. Weren't those the same as hers?

Lily was elated as she said, "You have Eden so Aunt Margaret said that she should buy more toys and asked me not to think too much about it. But why would I? We're sisters and we won't butt heads at things like this."

"You're shameless!" Irene was furious.

"Irene, why are you losing your temper?" Lily said with a smile, "Aunt Margaret said that she would send me bird's nest tomorrow and it would be the premium ones. She told me to nourish my body and give birth to two healthy grandchildren for her. She said that you'll also have some. Why do you think Aunt Margaret is being so kind to us? Do you think she wants both of us to be her daughters-in-law?"

"Shut up!"

"Irene, don't be angry. Just let me finish my words. We're sisters. Although you have always held grudges against me, I haven't. I'd better make myself clear. Irene, don't even dream of getting back with Edric. Aunt Margaret has always liked me. She won't let you into the family. So, you'd better be mentally prepared and don't think too highly of yourself. You'll regret it later."

"Miss Cook, I don't need you to worry about this, but I have to remind you that you should know very well about what happened with your baby. Accidents will happen to shameless people like you who commit crimes all the time. Miss Cook, aren't you afraid that there will be problems with the babies you'll be giving birth to?"

"Irene, I'm being kind enough to tell you to be careful of Margaret. It's okay if you don't appreciate it, but how could you curse my child?" Lily's voice also changed, "Irene, I don't care if you believe me or not, but I'm warning you in advance. For your child, you must not eat the bird's nest that Margaret will be giving you, or you will suffer the consequences!" Lily dropped this sentence and hung up the phone.

Although she was very clear about Lily's character, Irene was still aggravated. Didn't Margaret say that she disliked Lily? How did Lily know that Margaret had bought gifts for her? Had Margaret really gotten the same gifts for her and Lily at the same time?

That possibility remained. The fact that the child that Lily was pregnant with was not Edric's had not been confirmed yet. Edric said that he did not tell Margaret about the matter. Since Margaret did not know, with her love for children, it was very likely that she would buy two sets of gifts for both her and Lily at the same time.

If that was the case, then her kindness could be explained. She did not want to let go of both sides. Margaret's target was Eden and the baby she was pregnant with.

Although it was just a guess and she did not dare to be certain of it, Irene began to grow uncomfortable.

After getting up early in the morning, Margaret began to soak the bird's nest in water and prepared to cook for Irene. Loraine proposed to help, but was rejected. This was a matter of effort and sincerity. Margaret felt that she had to show her appreciation towards Irene.

Speaking of cooking bird's nest, Margaret was the one who had taught Loraine. Although Margaret was born into a rich family, she was not the kind of girl who could do nothing. She was a person who could cook and knew how to do housework. During her time with Edric's father, she often cooked bird's nest soup for her husband.

She cleaned the bird's nest by herself, put it in the water and soaked it until it became soft. Then, she cleaned the dirt and put it in the water again to make it expand. Finally, she put the bird's nest together with the water into a stewing pot and added sugar, letting it simmer over a small flame.

While the bird's nest was simmering, Margaret sat by it the whole time. When the bird's nest was done, Margaret packed it up. She was ready to go out and give it to Irene.

At that moment, Marie suddenly came to the Myers family home. When she saw Marie walking over, Margaret had no choice but to return to the house. Loraine reminded her that the bird's nest should not be left cold. It was better to send it to Irene immediately.

Margaret looked at Marie and hesitated. She could not just leave Marie alone. Then, Loraine volunteered to help Margaret to send the bird's nest to Irene.

Margaret thought for a moment and agreed, so Loraine took the bird's nest and left the house.

Irene and Thomas were playing with Eden in the living room. The doorbell rang, and Irene got up to open the door. She saw Loraine standing at the door with a thermos flask, looking at her with a smile. "What are you doing here?" When Irene had married Edric, Loraine had helped Margaret to bully her several times. She had never held a good impression of Loraine, this loyal henchman. Now seeing Loraine who had suddenly come to her, she was on guard and her tone was not very pleasant.

Loraine did not seem to care about Irene's attitude at all. She handed the flask over and said with a smile, "Mrs. Myers wants me to send you this bird's nest."

"Bird's nest?" Irene stared at the flask incredulously. The night before, Lily had just reminded her that Margaret was going to send her bird's nest. Now, Loraine was here, sending it. What was Margaret planning to do?

Loraine nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Myers mentioned that since you're pregnant now and you've been taking care of Eden as well, it's been too harsh on you, so she personally cooked bird's nest to nourish your body. This is a premium bird's nest. It has high nutritious value and is most suitable for pregnant women. The most important thing is that Mrs. Myers has made the bird's nest herself. I haven't seen her cooking in the kitchen these few years. It's really touching to see that although her legs are uncomfortable, she still insisted on cooking for you!"

Irene tried her best to let out a chuckle, "It's rare for Mrs. Myers being so enthusiastic. She even cooked the bird's nest for me when her legs are unwell? How can I accept this?"

"Why can't you? Eden and your baby are both children of the Myers family. You're getting married to Mr. Myers soon as well. We'll be a complete family very soon," Loraine looked at the thermal flask and she said enthusiastically, "Eat it while it's still hot!"

Irene thought of Lily's warning, "You'd better not eat those bird's nests, or you'll have to bear the consequences!"

She smiled faintly, "I just ate something, and now I'm not hungry. I'll eat the bird's nest a while later."

"When the bird's nest becomes cold, it won't taste as good. It's better to eat it while it's still hot. This is Mrs. Myers' gesture of kindness towards you. You have to accept it no matter what, right?" Loraine persuaded.

"I've accepted Mrs. Myers' kindness. You can go back and tell her that I'll eat the bird's nest so that she'll be at ease."

"This..." Loraine frowned a little, "Miss Nelson, you know Mrs. Myer's temper. She hates people who lie. If she replaces out that I lied to her, she'll definitely punish me. It's better if you eat it now, even if it's just a bite."

Her words alerted Irene even more. Why did Loraine want to watch her eat? Was there really something weird in the bird's nest?
