Chapter 1459 Ridiculous âEdith, how could you be so suspicious of your own mother?â Eric stepped forward once again to defend his wife.
âShe did try to break you and Anthony apart back then, but later on she saw Anthonyâs efforts and thought he was not bad, so she relented,â he explained.
Edith ignored Eric and stared at Kate.
In their household, Kate was the one in charge, not Eric.
Eric, being the youngest son of Dominic and protected by his four older brothers, had an easy life. He married the person he liked and had a gentle and agreeable nature, always following his wifeâs lead.
Whatever Kate said, that was how it was. This made Eric naturally side with his wife, placing her as the top priority.
Kate knew that she was waiting for an answer from herself.
She tightly held Edithâs hand, gazing into those swollen, teary eyes and sighed deeply.
âEdith, I didnât know that Anthonyâs grandmother committed suicide because of me. If I had known, I would have told you the truth back then.â
âWhy did someone have to die before you told me the truth?â
ââ¦â
Facing her daughterâs questioning, Kate felt ashamed and lowered her head.
âI didnât want to ruin the image you had of me, so I didnât say anything. I thought that if Anthony could win you back, that past would gradually fade away with timeâ¦â
She never expected that Anthony would keep it a secret for her, nor did she expect that Edith would never forgive himâ¦
Thinking about this, Kate tightened her grip on Edithâs hand and pleaded, âEdith, now that you know it was me who forced him to break up, please forgive him. Be with him and have a good future together. I will no longer oppose you. Okay?â
After a cold laugh, Edith shook off her hand. âDo you think we can still be together?â
Her parents, even though they didnât directly kill Anthonyâs grandmother, were indirectly responsible.
Kate, who could walk over someoneâs dead body without remorse, wanted them to reconcile and be together again, but Edith couldnât do 1.
Kate looked at her own rejected hand and said with deep disappointment, âEdith, what happened to his grandmother was my fault. Let me take responsibility. Donât give up on Anthony because of this.â
Edith trembled all over.
âYou are the one persuading me to give up on him, and you are also the one telling me not to give up on him. Donât you think itâs ridiculous?â
