Chapter 1520 Can I Speak To You

"Hello? I-It's me, Tillie.”

“What is it?” Edmund responded in an indifferent tone.

Nonetheless, there was an improvement from before. At the very least, he wasn't exasperated bywhat he usually saw at home. In fact, he even bothered to answer her call.

“I-I am visiting Ms. Sabrina. Since Mr. Jadeson and the others are back, she wants to invite us t-tohave dinner together. Can you make it?"

She was extremely nervous, as she hadn't even told him about her daily visits to the hospital.

Just as she expected, she could sense the tension over the phone the moment she mentionedSabrina. Consequently, she didn't even dare make a sound.

"How dare you—"

Unable to tolerate what was going on, Sabrina snatched the phone over. “Dare what? Edmund, letme warn you. You're not allowed to scold Tillie. I was the one who got her to call you, so you hadbetter come quickly. By the time Devin calls you, it will be too late.”

From the time Edmund was infuriated by Tillie spraining her ankle at the bar, Sabrina understoodthe marital problems they were going through.

Ever since then, Tillie never came over.

Reading between the lines, she was certain that Edmund was upset with his newly-wedded wife.Moreover, she had seen all the gorgeous women he had been with. It served to cement herimpression that it was difficult for him to be attracted to someone as ordinary-looking as Tillie.Only after the scolding did Edmund succumb and agree to join them.

By the time it was nightfall, Sasha and the others had arrived in Jadeborough. At the same time,Sabrina was already dressed and waiting for them in the hospital.

As for Tillie, she was filled with anxiety.

When Edmund arrived at the hospital, he didn't blame Tillie after being reprimanded by Sabrina.When Sasha and the rest arrived, he drove her to dinner.

Considering how unsettled Tillie was, she struggled with herself in the back of the car before finallydeciding to explain herself.

“Edmund, I-I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I was just worried that you would be angry whenyou found out. As Ms. Sabrina has business ties with my family, it was natural for me to visit her atthe hospital.”

Although Edmund didn’t say a word, it was obvious from his facial expression that he was feelingupset.

The thing he hated the most was someone disturbing Sabrina because she was his threshold. Aslong as one stayed away from her, anything could be negotiable.

Nevertheless, after hearing Tillie's words, he suddenly felt as if he had been overly suspicious overthe matter.

Finally, he calmed himself down and snapped, “The next time you want to pull a stunt like that, tellme first.”

Tillie was delighted by his response.

Obviously, she would definitely do so.

After all, him not blaming her was the greatest mercy he had ever shown her.

Considering she was one big step closer to success, Tillie's mind was finally put at ease.

That evening, everyone gathered merrily at a hotel, as they had not seen each other in a while. Asfor Tillie, she managed to socialize with the others in a more natural manner after having the burdenlifted off her chest.

“Mrs. Cooper, I heard that you have done a wonderful job of taking over the responsibilities of theCooper family.”

“Not at all. It's all because... Edmund was willing to give me an opportunity to try.”

When Tillie saw Sasha approach her on her own accord, she could feel her heart in her throat. Infact, she even stammered when she spoke.

With regards to the few women, Tillie admired Sabrina for how outspoken she was.

However, Sasha, as the lady of the Jadeson family, was the one who truly struck fear into her.Back when the nation was in chaos a few years ago, she had worked together with her husband tosave it. Consequently, no one dared to trifle with someone like that.

Even the ladies of Jadeborough high society feared and respected Sasha, let alone someone likeTillie.

With her hands drenched in sweat, Tillie pulled herself together to face Sasha.

Sasha remarked, “It was your capabilities that earned his trust in the first place. To be honest,Edmund is in need of a capable wife to assist him. The only thing we could help him with was tomake your marriage a success. With regards to truly restoring the Cooper family to its past glory,the tasks still lie on both your shoulders.”

Speaking with a faint smile, Sasha's tone was extremely calm.

In contrast to that, Tillie's eye widened in shock as she stared blankly at Sasha

“A-Are you saying that it was your idea that Edmund came to my house to ask for my hand?”“That's right.” Sasha plainly nodded.

“Technically speaking, it was my husband's idea. Mrs. Cooper, Edmund saved his life before and isalso Devin's good friend. Therefore, we treat him as family and naturally want to see him live anincreasingly good life.”

Sasha's last sentence had clearly conveyed her intentions.
