Chapter 169 Farewell Dinner

Eileen?

This name is easy to remember.

Later, Eileen walked up to Edmond with the paper in her hand and whispered, “Mr. Lamont, please sign

here to indicate that you are willing to relinquish Cicely’s assets.”

Edmond twisted the paper with one hand, glanced at her lightly, and finally picked up the pen to sign

his own name on the paper with elaborate strokes.

Taking the pen with warmth, Eileen’s face couldn’t help but blush. She carefully put the pen into her

pocket.

The whole process took only a few minutes, but it was already settled. Cicely gave all her properties to

Claudia.

Cicely signed the agreement, and all her strength seemed to drain out of her body as she collapsed

weakly. “Claudia, could you make me a plate of beef pasta? I really want to eat the beef pasta you

make.”

Claudia’s eyes turned red as she walked into the kitchen and started making beef pasta.

This pasta was her specialty. In the past, she used to wait for Edmond to come home together with her

mother-in-law. When her mother-in- law got hungry, she would personally cook a plate of beef pasta.

Since divorcing Edmond, she rarely cooked.

the beef and slice it. The beef slices are briefly rolled in water and then scooped out. Sprinkle some

green onions on top. Soon, a plate of clear and flavorful beef pasta is ready.

Claudia walked out while holding the noodles, suddenly feeling her hands were a bit greasy. She

handed the noodles to the maid and went into the adjacent restroom to wash her hands.

This toilet was used by the ser vants, and she rarely came in.

I didn’t expect to see Eileen leaning by the door as soon as I entered, holding something in her hand,

not knowing what she was examining.

Claudia had just prepared to say hello when her phone rang.

Eileen suddenly turned around and quickly put away what she had in her hands.

Claudia smiled apologetically and then answered the phone.

“Hasn’t that person Warren been found yet?” Pedro’s voice was filled with impatience. “Leave it to me,

I’ll go help you find him.”

There were other people here, Claudia thought for a moment and said lightly, “Let’s talk about this

matter in a few days.”

Elva will be sent to the old house tomorrow. Even if there is

something, she cannot make waves for the time being. There are more important matters to be

resolved now.

Pedro wanted to say something else, but Claudia whispered, “I have something to do now, I’ll call you

back tomorrow.”

He hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Eileen had already put away the things in her hands, and there was a friendly smile on her face. “It

seems like Ms. Lloyd had a good

relationship with Pedro, right?”

Claudia frowned, she didn’t speak out loud and had turned the volume of her phone to the lowest, how

did Eileen know that she was talking to Pedro?

“Sorry, Ms. Lloyd, my hearing is naturally different from others, I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop. I have

watched Pedro’s most famous TV drama and remember his voice, so I recognized it immediately.”

Eileen’s face was full of apology, her hands unsure of where to place them, showing signs of

nervousness.

Is your hearing different from others?

Claudia’s heart sank suddenly.

Fortunately, she had just stopped Pedro from saying more, otherwise her identity would have almost

been exposed.

As Claudia recalled the cold gaze that Eileen had turned back with just now, a hint of unease slid

through her, and her fondness for Eileen suddenly turned into caution.

“Pedro and I were just friends.”

She briefly explained one sentence.

Eileen smiled, seeming somewhat incredulous, but she didn’t continue the conversation. She smiled at

Claudia and said, “My aunt should be looking for me, I’ll go out first.”

Claudia nodded and watched her departing figure, furrowing her brows slightly.

She returned to the living room, where people had gradually dispersed, but the two people standing

side by side at the entrance were

somewhat conspicuous.

Eileen took out her phone and seemed to show something to Edmond. Edmond focused on what was

on the phone, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. The two of them exchanged words,

appearing quite harmonious.

One was dressed in a cheongsam, with a graceful figure, while the other was dressed in a suit, looking

quite well-matched.

Claudia turned her gaze away and walked over to Cicely. By then, Cicely had already finished her

noodles and even ordered a glass of iced cola.

After finishing the cola, Cicely patted her stomach contentedly, feeling very happy with her meal.

“Claudia, I’m a bit tired. I’ll go to sleep first, over there…” She pointed at Edmond and coughed softly.

“Listen to mom’s advice, if you still like him, you can try giving him another chance.”

Just now, Claudia stared at Edmond and Eileen for a full minute. She saw it all, she knew that

sometimes, even if you say you can let go of certain feelings, you might not actually be able to.

Claudia was about to speak when Cicely waved her hand and left with the maid accompanying her.

Although it was late, she didn’t want to stay overnight at the Lamont family’s.

She had just reached the door when Edmond’s voice faintly whispered in her ear, “Take Ms. Schmidt to

the guest room on the second floor.”

The second floor was the floor of her and Edmond’s marital home, and the largest guest room was also

on the second floor. Was this meant to give the best room to Eileen?

Claudia subconsciously glanced at Eileen, whose face turned red to the

Chapter 169 Fale

roots of her neck, like a shy blooming flower.

Ignoring the discomfort in her heart, Claudia walked briskly out of the Lamont family without looking

back.

The next morning, Claudia was awakened by the doorbell before she had even woken up.

Ervin stood outside the door, smiling gently, “Dad asked me to call you back for dinner. Today Elva was

sent back to the old house, which means we can have a farewell meal.”

What delicious food was there at the farewell dinner?

Claudia smiled and was about to refuse when Ervin added, “Elva said her friend from Enigma will also

come.”

Do Enigma’s friends also pass away in the past?

Claudia frowned, the refusal stuck in her throat.

Although she didn’t want to have this meal, there were still some people she wanted to meet, such as

Elva, a friend of Enigma.
