The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 433
"Edith, don't you think that the lilies in our garden look especially beautiful this year? They look bigger too!" Francine asked the
housekeeper beside her, who was currently waiting on her.
"Huh?" Edith wanted to say that the lilies bloomed the same every year, as was the case now. However, she did not want to ruin
Francine's mood so she agreed, "Yes, there are a lot this year, and they are quite lovely, like last year!"
Francine's gaze slid over Edith and she protested indignantly, "How are they anything like last year's flowers? They clearly look
better this year! Oh, and... do you want to know the symbolic meaning of lilies in full bloom?"
"Uh, what do they symbolize?"
"Lilies symbolize a lasting happy marriage. Since this year's flowers are blooming so beautifully, it's a sign from the heavens that
my son and my daughter-in-law are about to get together and stay with each other forever! ’ Francine exclaimed in joy. She then
picked one of the flowers and admired it in her hand, as if she could see Stefan and Renee's bright new future in the flower.
"Do blooming lilies really symbolize such a thing?” Edith's head was full of doubt as she muttered under her breath softly. She
had never heard of such a thing.
"Who cares, it does as long as I say so. Now snip some of the best blooms and tie them up into a bouquet. I need them for later."
Francine instructed the housekeeper in a mysterious tone.
"Alright!” Edith took out a pair of scissors and did as told. She snipped off some lilies at the stem and put it into the flower basket
she had with her.
Still snipping, she cautiously asked Francine, ' Madam, I see that Miss Everheart's return has made you more happy than Master
Hunt this time. Do you not mind any of the things Miss Everheart had done to Miss Desrosiers?"
Francine's jubilant grin faded. She replied tonelessly, "Ugh, you're such a wet blanket! Why are you even bringing up such
unpleasant matters?"
’I'm sorry about this, Madam, but I just think that there is a huge difference between your attitude towards Miss Everheart now
compared to before. I can't understand what Miss Everheart has done to make you like her so much."
This question had plagued Edith for the longest time, but she had always been too afraid to ask it.

"Well, about that, I can't tell you what it is exactly... I just think that this girl is rather capable and caring. When my son was nearly
paralyzed back then, she wouldn't leave his side and cared for him constantly. That really made me change the way I viewed
her."
"Oh, and her cooking skills are amazing, especially her lemon-glazed chicken feet. I've missed it for the last four years, even in
my dreams. She looks quite nice too. Charming, sweet, elegant, but not too much, and also... IV
Edith only asked her a simple question, never expecting Francine would start a rant about Miss Everheart, even going as far as
to show Edith the recent video of Miss Everheart that went viral online.
"Just look at her agility... She's amazing! She reminds me of my younger self. How could I not like her?" Francine exclaimed.
"The important thing is that my darling son likes her. That idiot has taken too long to understand love, and he’s never really liked
anyone before this too. Now that someone has captured his heart, of course I'd wish that they will both settle down together."
Edith nodded. "That is true. Ever since Miss Everheart left all these years, Master Hunt has been so miserable. I haven't seen
him smile genuinely for so long. Hopefully this time, when they reconcile, they won’t break up again.”novelxo.com fast update
"That goes without saying. But my son doesn't seem interested in taking action this time. That's why, I, as his mother, will have to
take matters into my own hands. I just can’t let those two miss each other again!"
As Francine and Edith were discussing how to get Stefan and Renee together, a servant announced, "Madam, Miss Desrosiers
is here to see you."
"Oh, her. Tell her that I am busy at the moment and cannot meet her." Francine’s expression was one of annoyance.
"But... Miss Desrosiers said that she has very important news she needs to tell you!
