The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 87

Both Amara and Nicolas were stunned. They didn’t expect that Edith would be willing to make such an incredible sacrifice.

"What a girl! You even dare to refute my decision, huh?" Amara was irritated with her chest heaving.

Edith didn’t regret for what she had said. She then said to Amara sincerely, "Mom, I just thought you were too mean if you do that to him. If you still insist that he should sleep in the basement, I would rather move out to live with him."

Casey was moved when seeing Edith argue with her mom for his sake.

Amara jumped up and glared at Casey, "I can’t believe what you have done to delude my daughter. You can still live in my house, but I will drive you out one day."

Then she thumped the chopsticks on table and went back to the room as she had no mood to continue with meal.

Nicolas also glared at Casey with great disdain, "How dare you delude my daughter, such a trash. I can’t believe we are shit out of luck to have you stay in my house!"

Then he also went back to the room.

Though Nicolas was still a bit hungry, he didn’t dare to stay for food since Amara had left. He still needed to avoid her anger.

Edith and Casey looked at each other. He couldn’t help smiling gratefully.

Edith sighed, "I am so sorry. My mom is really unreasonable. She even wants you to stay in that shabby basement!"

Casey replied with a smile, ‘It’s okay. Since your mom hates me for staying here, we could just buy another new house and move out."

Edith hesitated, "Well, but you know the housing price has been mounting. Even a one-bedroom apartment would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Though I have a sizeable salary and we can apply for mortgage, we still couldn’t afford the down payment."

"Don’t worry about that. Let me handle the house. We will go to see some apartments later." Casey said.

Edith nodded as she knew Casey still owned some money. Though they had spent a lot during these days, they might still be able to afford the down payment.

Even the two watches were worth a sizeable sum of money.

‘Well, perhaps he has planned for a one-bedroom apartment located at a suburban area. But it should be enough for both of us. We can buy a better one when we earn enough in the future.’ Edith murmured to herself in her mind.

However, Casey was considering buying a duplex apartment or a villa in the downtown area. As for that kind of one-bedroom apartments, he didn’t even think about it. From his point of view, Edith deserved the best in all aspects.

Because of the argument, Amara had been mean to Casey for a few days. She even left a great mess for Casey to clean up.

Casey didn’t argue with her. He was quite aware of her bad temper. If he chose to clean up the house silently, it would be a better refutation of her trick.

However, Amara could do nothing but to complain about him because of the favor of Edith.

Amara repeated asking Casey when to buy a new house almost every single day and then mocked him for bragging about himself. She teased him harshly, saying that he couldn’t even survive once he moved out, let alone buying his own house.

Casey didn’t refute. It took time to buy another house, so he planned to see the house himself together with Edith. Once he bought the house, Amara would naturally shut up.

At weekend, both Amara and Nicolas went out to play mahjong. Casey finally had time to avoid being bothered.

Edith also rested at home as she didn’t need to work today.

Casey had planned to go for a house tour with Edith. But Edith proposed to go for a house tour next week because she was too tired due to heavy work load. So Casey made her rest at home and massaged her.

Edith fancied the dishes cooked by Casey. So Casey went to buy food in the supermarket.

When he returned home, Edith wasn’t at the parlor. He thought she might go back to the bedroom, so he placed the food in the kitchen and went to the bathroom.

When he was about to open the door of the bathroom, the door was opened from the inside. Then he saw Diana standing in with her body wrapped around by a towel.

Casey was stunned as he hadn’t expected Diana would take a bath in his bathroom.

Neither did Diana notice that Casey would appear in front of the door. When she collected herself, she immediately cast an affectionate look at Casey.

She just finished a bath with her naked body wrapped by a towel. Her hairs were still wet. She deemed herself the sexiest woman in the world at this moment.

She had been missing Casey during these days though she was aware that Casey was the husband of her best friend, Edith. She still failed to get rid of the desire but drowned herself in it.

So she wanted Casey’s attention as soon as she saw him.

"You are back? I am here to bath because the water heater in my house is out of work." Diana explained.

"Okay." Casey replied and then went straight to the kitchen to cook.

"Wait," Diana looked pitiful, then she continued, "don’t I look charming enough to catch your eyes? Why are you so cold to me?"

Casey remained silent. Actually, Diana was indeed an attractive beauty, but Edith was his only beloved one.

Diana was even more frustrated. It was rare for her to be so infatuated with a man. However, her prince charming turned out to be the husband of her best friend. What upset her more was that Casey had no feelings for her.

However, one would become more and more obsessed with the one he or she failed to get. So the colder Casey was to her, the more desired she was to see a different response from him.

Though Casey was the husband of Edith, Diana still couldn’t help bearing desire for him.

She looked at Casey with a smile, and then she took off the towel.

What she wanted was to see the flustered look on his face. So she didn’t even care if her naked body would be exposed.

Casey had noticed her motive when he saw her move. He immediately turned back to head to the kitchen.

Diana had already taken off the towel. However, Casey didn’t see anything as he had turned around.

Diana was almost driven crazy. She even doubted if her body wasn’t good enough to catch his eyes.

She huffed and went to beside the sofa to put on clothes. Edith happened to walk out of the bedroom. She was stunned when seeing Diana standing at the parlor with her naked body.

"Diana, why are you standing at the parlor to put on clothes?! It was time for Casey to come back. He will see your body!" Edith exclaimed.

Diana pouted, "He’s back already. Now he is in the kitchen. I don’t think he has the guts to see my body."

Edith hurried to the kitchen and saw Casey there, who was cleaning the food. She then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, why are you so mad? Do you still worry about your prince charming?" Edith sat beside Diana, who had dressed up.

Diana pouted to refute, "Of course not! Do you think I need to worry about that? I have so many admirers around and most of them are much better than Casey!"

She raised her voice to make Casey hear her words.

Edith was aware that Diana was still aggrieved because of it. But she believed that Casey would never cheat on her.

"Casey, get some nice dishes for Diana to cure her broken heart." Edith yelled at the kitchen.

"Okay!" Casey replied.

"What kind of nice dishes can he cook? I’d better pray that his dishes won’t ruin my stomach." Diana then continued, "Edith, if your husband were good at both singing and cooking, perhaps there would be no man in the world who could overtake him."

"But I think he indeed cooks nice dishes." Edith smiled.

Diana rolled her eyes at him, "That’s your illusion! Let me tell you. I have an admirer who serves in a 3-Star Michelin restaurant as a chef. He cooks really nice dishes. Let me take you to his restaurant to suffice you."

Actually, Diana stated the truth. After all, it was hard to believe that Casey would be good at both singing and cooking.

So Diana thought that Casey was only good at cooking some ordinary dishes. There was no way to compare with a 3-Star Michelin chef.

Diana tried to comfort herself by saying so. She would regret if Casey cooked even better dishes than that chef.

Soon, Casey served the dishes, which looked as amazing as a 3-Star Michelin chef.

Diana stared at the dishes with doubt, "It looks good. But I don’t think it tastes as good as that chef."

Casey remained silent with a smile. But Edith said, "You will know after you try it."

Diana picked up some food with chopsticks to taste it. A few second later, she was stunned.

It tasted even much better than that 3-Star Michelin chef.

She tasted every dish carefully. Then she pounced on Edith and cried in her arms, "Edith! You must be blessed by God. Why does he even cook so well?"

"Let me be his mistress, okay? I promise I won’t be your rival!"
