His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 894

Eloise knew it would be difficult since Derrick and Stephanie were stubborn as a mule and would not budge easily. If even Arianna had failed to obtain the shares despite her various attempts, there was no way Derrick would give them to an outsider.

However, she might as well visit them since she was already there. It had been a long time since she last saw the couple at the hospital, and she could hardly explain how she felt. Eloise walked toward the entrance, gave the door a gentle push, and it swung open.

The air inside smelled of food. Derrick and his wife sat at the dining table and had their meals quietly. As if they had not heard anything, they did not even look up at the sound of someone entering.

“Hi,” Eloise quietly said when she got near them.

Derrick ignored her while his wife looked up. “El, it’s you.”

“Steph.” Eloise felt a mix of emotions when Stephanie called her by her nickname.

Although she had spent her whole life scheming and hoping her family could take over the business from Derrick one day, she had not expected everything to end up this way and knew not what to say for a moment.

“Have you had your meal yet? Why don’t you join us?” Stephanie got up to set the table.

“No, no need.” Eloise stopped her hurriedly. “How have you two been?”

A look laden with grudges flashed across Derrick’s face as he continued to eat. His wife threw him a glance and sighed. “El, we’ve been sisters-in-law and friends for over 20 years. Do spare us your pleasantries.”
