See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Don’t Want to Remarry Claudia’s eyelid twitched uncontrollably. Waldron said this only after she found out that she was pregnant with Edmond’s child, but Edmond was unaware that the child was his! “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first,” Everett immediately stood up and pulled Yvette along as they walked out. Yvette struggled free as Everett held onto her tightly, coughing a few times. She glanced at Claudia, then took a few glances at Edmond, gritted her teeth and followed them. Horace, Edmond, and Claudia stared at each other in astonishment. Horace did not voluntarily suggest leaving and was about to say something to Claudia when Edmond tapped his hand on the table and asked softly, “Mr. Ferguson, do you intend to stay here overnight?” This statement directly carries a strategic nature. Horace could clearly feel that Edmond’s attitude had changed since Waldron’s voice message was sent. “Mr. Lamont was joking. My relationship with Claudia hasn’t reached that stage yet. Besides, if you like her, you should respect her,” Horace said gently, smiling with elegance and grace. “It’s getting late, shouldn’t you leave too? As her ex-husband, you should be mindful of avoiding suspicion.” Ex-husband, avoiding suspicion… Edmond’s chin tightened, and his face looked somewhat unpleasant. Watching the two of them confront each other, Claudia had a headache. “It’s indeed a bit late, both of you go ahead, I’m a bit tired and want to wash up and rest carly.” Today, not only was she tricked by her own brother once, but also had a headache caused by these two men. Watching her tired expression as she held her forehead, Edmond slowly stood up. Seeing him stand up, Horace also stood up. “Let’s go together, Mr. Lamont. I have something to say to you. Edmond nodded and walked to the door with him.

When they reached the door, both of them unconsciously stopped. Horace looked at Edmond in confusion and said, “Mr. Lamont, what are you doing?”

Don’t want to leave? Can’t bear to leave? Horace’s handsome and gentle eyebrows twitched, just about to say something when he was forcefully pushed and the door slammed shut with a “bang”. Horace stood alone outside the door and said, “… He was pushed out by Edmond, while Edmond stayed inside. “Edmond, what do you mean?!” Horace couldn’t help but burst into a loud curse. Claudia stood nearby, staring in astonishment. She never expected that Edmond could do such a thing. Edmond turned around and glanced at her, casually walking toward her. In the dim light, his figure stood tall and straight, with handsome features. The corner of his lips curved into a meaningful smile as he said, “Did you tell them that I don’t clean up after eating? “Not long after we had a relationship, you brought up divorce with me. It was you who ate and wiped clean without taking responsibility, right?” Claudia’s expression froze for a moment, and she couldn’t help but cough. When she was alone with Horace, she remained calm, but she still felt a bit nervous when there were only her and Edmond in the house. She didn’t show it, she just took a few steps back, subconsciously creating distance between them. Seeing her subconscious movement, Edmond raised an eyebrow and his gaze deepened. Under the warm-colored lights, her beautiful face blushed, like a freshly peeled egg stained with rouge, enchanting and alluring No wonder even Horace couldn’t tear himself away, her appearance has always had the capital to charm men.

Claudia stiffened her neck and lowered her voice, “Mr. Lamont, are you staying just to find out about this? It’s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room. Why don’t you go home first, and we can discuss it another day if there’s something important.” She glanced at the door and it was clear that she wanted to hurry someone. Edmond’s gaze was as calm as water as he reached out his hand and handed her a set of keys. “I bought a flat in the same building as this one in the neighborhood. It’s not good for you to live in Horace’s house…” Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, “For three years of marriage, you didn’t ask for anything. You can live in this house with peace of mind, and don’t live in Horace’s.” This was also his purpose for coming today, to give her a house. He knew the owner of the real estate in this neighborhood, and after learning that Horace had given her a house, he also bought one. She came out of the Friedan family with nowhere to live. Her grandmother’s old house was unsafe, so instead of waiting for her to use someone else’s house, he decided to give her a set. Looking at this bunch of keys, Claudia paused for a moment and then smiled, “I’m really lucky. Every now and then, someone gives me a house.” She did not take the key. She smiled calmly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lamont. I intend to buy Horace’s house and I have no intention of accepting his gift, nor yours. She chose to start from scratch in order to avoid getting too involved with him, as well as with any other men. Ervin and Waldron’s intention, she understood, was simply hoping that she would remarry someone who treated her well. But she simply didn’t want to get married again. If Horace refused to sell it to her, she would have to move out, but definitely not move into Edmond’s

house. Her refusal came as no surprise to him. After the divorce, she was like a bird freed from its cage, growing beautiful wings, no longer the canary protected by him. He placed the key on the table and said in a gloomy tone, “Consider it a gift for the child.” Claudia’s heart suddenly rose to her throat, her intertwined hands trembled slightly, and her pupils contracted. His attitude today was very strange. What did the mother-in-law say to him in the end? Claudia dared not respond, as she did not know how much Edmond actually knew. “Horace is not suitable for you,” Edmond added, “His family is too complicated, and you will suffer if you marry him.” He had already investigated it. Horace’s mother was very dissatisfied with Claudia and was already on her way. If she were in the Friedan family or perhaps the Ferguson family, she might have tolerated it for the sake of the Friedan family. However, she broke ties with the Friedan family and lost their protection. With a mother-in-law like this, and with children to take care of, her days would not be easy. He glanced at her still flat belly, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his tone obscure: “After all, we are a married couple. I don’t want to see you suffer.” Claudia chuckled lightly, her voice as calm as water, “Thanks for the reminder, no one in this world can make me feel wronged.” All her grievances were endured during the three years she was married to him. “As long as one doesn’t mind, there won’t be any grievances.” Claudia’s tone was flat and simple, but in one sentence, she expressed all her grievances. Edmond’s pupils contracted, and then he furrowed his brow. Doesn’t everything matter anymore because of grievances? For some reason, Edmond’s heart tightened slightly upon hearing her calmly say these words. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You have the key, there is no reason to take back what I have already given away.” Claudia smiled, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him with interest. “You want me to not stay at Horace’s house, but stay at your house, Mr. Lamont. Do you think I haven’t had enough rumors surrounding me recently and want to add fuel to the fire?” She twisted the key and placed it in his hand, saying, “I appreciate your kindness, but please leave. I need to rest.’ After saying these words, she turned around without hesitation and slammed the door shut with a loud “bang”. Edmond’s thin lips tightened into a line, and a chilling coldness filled his eyes. The key in his hand was extremely cold, so cold that it made his stomach ache faintly. He didn’t eat. If it were in the past, she would definitely have persuaded him to eat or cooked for him personally. After the divorce, however, there were men who eagerly offered to cook for her. Maybe, as she said, if you don’t care, you won’t feel wronged. Claudia lay in bed and heard the sound of the door closing, knowing that person had left. At the thought of his words, her eyes dimmed. Waldfon happened to send a message: “Thomas said he will come to see you with us tomorrow, do you agree?”
