It took him a long ti to say the next sentence.
"Donald, will you treat her well? Can you handle your marriage with another woman without hurting her? Can you keep her from crying and grieving? Can you take care of her all her life?"
Stuart said one word at a ti; his voice was deep and llow, the sadness in his voice filled the large living room.
Every word was plucking Edie’s heartstring.
Donald heard the words and said without hesitation, "Yes, whatever you can do for Edie, I can too, and I won’t be worse than you!"
"Ok then, I can set my mind at rest." Stuart took a step backward. This step was a little shaky, and it made Edie worry.
When he stopped talking, she couldn’t help asking, "Don’t you... Don’t you have anything else that you would like to ask ?"
Stuart was slightly distracted when he heard the words and looked at Edie in confusion.
Ask her? What else to ask, his heart was about to break; if he asked again, he would die of pain.
The feeling of heartache was so painful.
He shook his head slowly and said, "I wish you happiness."
"Good! I will be happy!"
Edie angrily dropped this sentence, and then turned to leave, Donald quickly caught up.
When she left the door, Stuart collapsed to the floor at this mont.
When she got to the villa door, Edie stopped and said, "Now you see, he loves , so I won’t leave."
"But he’s too stupid! He does not understand you; he did not know how to persuade you to stay, you gave nurous hints, he did not say a word of detaining, I cannot rest assured to give you to him!" Donald frowned and said.
"But he loves !" Edie said word by word.
In fact, just now, he had explained everything to Edie, but she still chose to believe in Stuart, unwilling to give up their marriage. She loved him. And no one could change it.
The reason why he talked to Stuart like that was that he actually made a bet with Edie.
Whether Stuart truly loved Edie.
Although he did not detain her, he had to admit that Stuart truly loved Edie. He was willing to suffer on his own in order for the person he loved to live a happy life.
"Actually, I really don’t know whether he is smart or dumb. He knows exactly what he wants. Love is love. Every loving word he said to was true. If I leave him for this, it’s unfair to him, and I love him too. I don’t want to leave him!"
"It seems that we really can’t go back in ti." He laughed with bitterness and relief.
Edie smiled softly, "Actually, you didn’t co here to break us up this ti. You sound out Stuart’s heart for . You wanted us to be good together, didn’t you?
"Actually... that’s not my true intention. When I told you the truth, I hoped that you would hate him and accept , but you still chose him, so I understand that there’s nothing I can do about it. What Stuart can do for you, I can do the sa, but... I betrayed you first."
"What?" Edie was sowhat puzzled and did not understand what he ant by betraying.
But before she got an answer from Donald, she got his embrace.
It was a long embrace, so long that Edie tasted all his sadness, her eyes also wet up.
"Donald, promise not to fight with Jonna when you go back. She’s your wife. Be happy together, ok?"
"Well, I’ll promise you whatever you say. That’s the only thing I can do for you."
"Thank you."
"Edie... Are we still friends?" His voice trembled.
She startled slightly, then nodded forcefully, "Friends, irreplaceable friends."
Finally, Donald loosened her arms and patted her on the shoulder and said, "If that fellow is not good to you, tell , I will teach him a lesson for you. But I hope this day will never co."
"Well, it won’t co," Edie promised with a smile.
"Go back, and I’m leaving." Donald tried hard to curve his mouth into a smile, then turned away without looking back.
In fact, Donald did not put too much hope into this visit. He knew how it felt to love soone deeply, and he was willing to give up everything without regret. He was willing to give up everything for Edie, and his Dad must’ve had the sa feelings towards Mada Yates.
Therefore, we could not define who was right or wrong.
Moreover, under his pressure, Karen told him that the version he had told him before was not the full story.
Donald knew Joanna’s intention at that ti, but he was too eager to get his power in Hawks’s real estate, so he spoiled Joanna in everything she did to him.
He preferred to fall in love with Joanna and regain his power.
Donald looked at himself in the rearview mirror. His mouth curved a self-mocking smile. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He couldn’t help coughing.
He pulled aside in a hurry, and a mouthful of blood flowed out uncontrollably.
Then, his eyes went black, and he could see nothing, and he fell into a coma.
***
At this ti, in the Yates villa——
Edie crouched silently in the doorway. Although she knew that Stuart loved her, he was so dumb.
He didn’t even detain her, what’s wrong with him?
At that mont, Cecil suddenly appeared in front of her and asked doubtfully, "Edie, why are you here?"
"Why are you here?" She asked the sa question in surprise.
"I went out with my friends today and just ca back. Why are you squatting at the door? "
"I don’t want to go in." Edie’s voice sounded dull.
The little fellow imdiately noticed the complaint in her tone of voice, and asked, "Did you fight with Stuart?"
"Mind your own business, go ho, don’t tell him I’m outside, I’ll go back when I’m ready." She did not know how to face Stuart yet, so she planned to escape the reality temporarily.
