Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 184

"…" Liliana was used to seeing Erma whenever she visited the Forrest Estate, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Erma loved to joke around and tease her and Cedric.

In the past, her words would make Liliana blush, but her heart would be filled with a sweet warmth.

Now, all she felt was a sour pang, and her expression stiffened.

Erma and the others would always say things like: *Look, the missus is blushing. The missus only has eyes for the Young Master. The missus revolves her whole life around the Young Master.*

They never once commented on how the Young Master treated the missus.

And they never saw a problem with that.

After all, even Liliana herself had always been happy with the arrangement.

"Ma'am?" Erma must have said something else. Seeing that she wasn't responding, Erma waved a hand in front of her face. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"What?" Liliana snapped back to reality.

Erma giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. "Every time I mention the Young Master, you get all shy and lost in thought. I asked you what you like about him!"

Liliana replied robotically, "He's handsome, has a great body. Even without money or power, he's the type of man women would fall for."

She was just humoring Erma.

But as she finished speaking, she saw the reflection of a man's powerful silhouette in the kitchen window.

Liliana turned around and realized Cedric had come downstairs at some point.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, a smile spreading across his face. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Of course. Liliana's constant sullenness and threats of divorce were all just to get his attention.

More than likely, even getting close to Douglas was a way to test him.

He cursed himself for losing his composure; she had almost led him by the nose.

"Young Master, you're so quiet on your feet. You were eavesdropping on us. You made the missus all shy," Erma teased.

Liliana turned back to her work. Saying things like that wouldn't upset Cedric, so there was no need for her to explain.

Still, she felt a strange resistance in her heart.

A resistance to the pleased look on his face, and to Erma's continued teasing.
