"Stuart, could you find another solution? I don’t think we have to destroy it. That’s too brutal. It’s not to drag them down,"
"Brutal?" Stuart frowned, staring at Eddie, "what about Tammie? He already died, but my family should still suffer from those disgusting gossip? Wasn’t he brutal? Tell it is right, too, that my whole family is still dealing with the gossip,"
"He already died. Why couldn’t you let a dead man go?" Eddie held his hands nervously. She wanted to persuade her husband not to do evil things. She can’t accept seeing Stuart be a cruel human.
"My father also died. Why couldn’t they let my father go?" Stuart questioned totally.
But the death couldn’t move the pain. It only left a feeling of sorrow and pain in his family.
"There must be another solution, isn’t it?" Eddie asked in a trembling voice. She tried her best to change Stuart’s decision.
"No, unless I die," he said, stressing each word.
Each word, like thunder, frightened her. She almost fell on the ground.
She could understand his hatred and anger. But she should do sothing to stop him. She can’t bear seeing her husband taking revenge against others.
She hugged him tightly, "Stuart...please. I want you to be happy. Honey, this is not the only way. Please? But I couldn’t stand aside and watch Hawk Real Estate going broke..."
"Then, don’t watch it. Let handle all these." Stuart’s voice was firm.
Eddie’s tears wet Stuart’s shirt. Her emotion consud her mind, and she can’t let Donald’s family suffer.
Stuart got nervous. He touched Eddie’s head gently. He missed the feeling in her arms. It was so beautiful that he wished to stay with her forever.
He didn’t want to upset her. But he had to end this. He had promised to take revenge for his father.
It was none of her business. All Eddie had to do was to live a happy life with him. He is also tired of living in anger with those people who ruined his family, but he will not let the perpetrators escape. He couldn’t accept that they were living as if nothing had happened.
"No...I couldn’t. I already knew. I couldn’t let you destroy him...." Eddie burst into tears. She pushed him away and begged him.
"Stuart, I know your suffering. I won’t beg you to let it go. All I want is to help Donald. He was sick now. He couldn’t handle more. If Hawk Real Estate goes broke, Donald will break down. He might die."
She couldn’t let this happen. She hates to see soone living in fear. She understands the anger of her husband’s longings, but she prefers to stop him. All she wanted for her and Stuart was a healthy life as a couple.
Stuart’s eyes turned scary imdiately, "So all you want is Donald? Is that the reason why you beg , honey?"
"No..."
Eddie shook her head imdiately.
She wanted Stuart to stop. She didn’t want to hurt more innocent people. Besides, if Donald died, Stuart was the murderer. She didn’t want this...
She trembled. She can’t bear the pain seeing her husband suffer the consequences in the future.
"Then what is it? Tell ."
Stuart questioned her, like a beast trying the best to suppress his anger.
Eddie felt extre pain in her throat. She tried to squeeze words out of her teeth, "No matter what, you couldn’t do this. Donald helped before. He is my benefactor. I couldn’t let you destroy him."
"But he’s my enemy. I can’t let him pass,"
Stuart took a deep breath and asked word by word.
"..."
Tears are falling down from her eyes. She didn’t know how to answer his question.
He raised her little face, looking at her tears. But he didn’t wipe her tears.
Because...these tears were not for him.
Finally, he looked away and turned around.
Eddie stopped him imdiately, "Stuart, and you wouldn’t let it go, would you?"
"Yes, I wouldn’t."
Stuart said word by word, without throwing an eye on Eddie.
"Even if I decide to share its end?"
Eddie took a deep breath to stop her tears. The man in front of her suddenly trembled.
His deep sorrow instantly imrsed her.
Sorry, Stuart!
"..."
But she could get only though of this stupid way.
"Are you.....are you threatening ?" He asked her in an extrely cold voice.
"Stuart, this is not what I want. Please wake up. I beg you, please. You are frightening ."
Eddie wanted to say, "yes, I am threatening you."
But after thinking for a while, she held these words back.
Because she felt the atmosphere getting more and more, this never happened before.
Stuart never got angry with her before, except for this ti.
This ti, he really got mad at her.
If she kept persuading him, the man would get really scary,
She walked to him, holding him, rubbing his back.
Stuart turned around, looking at her small face. Her eyes were red and pure. She looked really determined.
She was begging him.
He used to love her determination. But now...
He wanted to destroy it.
He knew Eddie. No one could change her decision. The little girl looked weak, but she was really determined inside.
Normally, she wouldn’t be willing to yield to persuasion. But now she did, for Donald, and Hawk Real Estate.
She was pretending.
He hated to see this. He raised the woman’s jaw, looking at her face coldly.
"Who do you do this for? For ? Your uncle? Or your forr lover Donald?"
Forr lover...
These three terms tortured her heart.
She wanted to prove to him there’s nothing between her and Donald.
Donald was just her friend.
Eddie bit her lips and said painfully and determinedly, "Stuart, you are ridiculous. You didn’t know Hicks was Marina at that ti. But you still went to save her and missed our dating. I am mad at you, but I still forgive you because I trust you. Why don’t you trust now?"
