Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 235

Eder’s brain was blank.

‘Edgar?’

He had never thought that this nwould cout of Sylvia's mouth during her moments of vulnerability. Was

she calling him Edgar?

Did this prove that she actually had at least sfeelings for him?

He was confused and tangled for a long tbefore he finally decided to summon the courage to su

“Sylvia, actually 1...”

Before he could finish speaking, Sylvia angrily tugged at his cuff.

“Edgar! If you lie toagain, I'll dig your grave, fish your corpse out, and have it whipped three hundred

times!”

‘So violent..."

The words he originally wanted to say retreated at the back of his throat.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, thinking.

Sylvia didn’t love him anymore. He knew it all along.

As the dead ex-husband, his only role seemed to be the punching bag for when she needed someone to

blame.

If Sylvia found out that he had fabricated a huge lie to deceive her, she would hate him and never give him a

second chance, right?

His heart felt heavy as he silently sat on the edge of the bed and watched Sylvia sleeping.

He had spent all his tbegging for this engagement to happen because his biggest regret was divorcing her

on the spot back then. He was afraid to lose her again.

Since confessing would make things worse, then he’d have to let her accept the fact that Edgar was gone

forever.

He would start over with her as Eder!

Sylvia slept uneasy, her eyebrows tightly knitted so that even in her sleep, she looked fierce.

Eder carefully smoothed the furrow between her eyebrows with his hand and leaned over to gently kiss her

forehead.

Then he went to the bathroom and twisted the towel to help her wipe her face and hands. Finally, he went to the

closet to get a new quilt and made himself a sleeping space on the sofa.

The whole night was of Eder having a hazy sleep.

He was awakened by the sound of the door being unlocked.

Before Sylvia woke up, he lightly walked out the door.

Uncle Alfred was outside the door. His eyes narrowed in a smile. “Have you and Ms. Smith managed to get along

last night, Sir? Did you two...”

He made a gesture of his thumbs facing each other.

Eder’s expression stiffened. He ignored that topic. “When Ms. Smith wakes up, let her have breakfast with

Grandfather before leaving. If she doesn’t want to, don’t force her.”

“Yes, sir.”

Eder first went to the next room to wash up, and then left the villa afterward.

Just as he reached the door, he heard a voice from around the corner.

He listened carefully. It sounded like Eric.

The other one seemed to be Fifteen.

“Fifteen, you're here too early. Ms. Sylvia is not awake yet. You might have to wait a little longer.”

“It’s alright. Ill wait. But she didn’t drink last night again, did she? She already drank a lot at the banquet, so if

she had more, she probably got drunk again. She really thinks that she’s the sstrong drinker as in the past.”

Fifteen sighed deeply.

Eric felt strange. “What happened to her?”

Fifteen hesitated. “It’s all in the past. We have orders to never speak a word about it ever again or it would be

deducted from our salary.”

“Hey, tell me. It’s just the two of us here, and | don’t run into her often, so she won't find out. And I'll keep

quiet.”

Eder was about to leave but when he listened further, he walked back to find out more.

Fifteen! “Well, do you remember six months ago when Mr. Fallen died? Since the day he was buried, she locked

herself in his room and did not eat nor drink for three days. She cried her heart out and even drank all the strong

liquor on the wine cabon an empty stomach! Her body couldn't take it at all, and her stomach almost burned

through. Since then, her physical health deteriorated.”

He was shocked.

“Ms. Sylvia...she actually...”

“Sigh. Well, she is a stubborn person. In fact, she really cared for Mr. Fallen but was too stubborn to admit it. She

could not accept his death for a long tand had a difficult break down. Anyway, it’s all in the past.”

Eric was puzzled: “Really? But | heard that Ms. Sylvia is romantically interested with Mr. Grammer

recently.”

“Mr. Grammer?” Fifteen was puzzled. “Where did you hear that from? Apart from Mr. Fallen, she had never taken

any interest in other men.”

Eder did not listen to what the two of them said next.

His whole mind was buzzing.

Fifteen said that Sylvia really cared about him.

Because of his death, Sylvia cried for days.

She even drank so much that she almost burned her stomach...

It turned out that the person he loved also actually loved him back.

When she said that there was someone she liked, it wasn’t actually Adrain. Did she mean that she liked

him?

Eder’s whole body was shaking. His mood could no longer be described in human words!

He had never been so surprised like this.

He had never, for once, even dared to imagine that Sylvia would return his feelings...

With red eyes, he turned around to enter the villa to find Sylvia.

He couldn't wait to tell her that he was still alive!

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Boss, where are you going?”

Eder pushed him away. “I'm telling her the truth.”

“Boss, have you figured it out? Last night was your best chance to confess, but you missed it and played a show

in front of her. She is in the worst mood right now. She probably doesn’t even want to see you for a while. Do you

think she can forgive you if you go right now?”

No.

If he confessed now, it would most probably only backfire.

Maybe in a fit of anger, Sylvia would even draw a clear line between them, and it would be the kind wherein she

would never talk to him again.

But after finding out all of that, he didn’t want to wait for a minute!

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and began to analyze and think about this matter rationally.

Eric was also thinking of a way to help him. “You can pretend to have amnesia and make her feel sorry for you.

When you find a chance, tell her that your memory is simply cback. That way, she won't be

angry.”

It could be an option.

Eder was silent for a while, but in the end, he shook his head with a cold face. “Forget it. Sylvia is too smart. If |

actually do that and she finds out, this matter will only becmore complicated, and then | might becan

actual corpse.”

He paused and continued, “We still have to find an opportunity to explain it to her as soon as possible before she

is consumed completely angered.”

After pondering for a long time, he instructed Eric, “Tomorrow night, invite Sylvia to my villa and tell her that |

want to have dinner with her.”

Eric wasn't too sure about the idea. “Will she even come?”

“Yes.”

Eder’s dark eyes were held a firm determination. “Sylvia has always been suspicious. What happened last

night will not offset her suspicion. | can guess that the will investigate privately in the next few days”

Eric nodded quickly, feeling that it made sense.

They really couldn't delay it then. If Sylvia checked the evidence and found out that Eder was hiding the truth

from her, it would be a bigger mess!

After arranging everything. Eder finally walked out of the villa.

But after just a few steps, he remembered something and turned back.

“That's not enough. Find another whip. It should be rougher. The kind that could whip up blood and an injury that

looks terrifying ”

Eric grinned. “Boss! You're too harsh on yourself!”

How could he not be if he had to get his wife back?

He had mistakenly missed the best tto tell her everything last night. If Sylvia would still want to do

something to him tomorrow night, then it meant that she would be willing to forgive him. That was how she was.

If you let her beat you, then her anger will disappear.

But if she didn’t want to even bother with anything, then this matter could only get harder.
