Hicks glared at Edie fiercely. Although she was angry, she still held back her words and left with Stuart.
As soon as they exited the door, she wanted to link arms with Stuart. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by him, "From now on, we should avoid physical contact at ho, the deputy director is still on Edie’s side. I don’t want any surprises in this divorce."
When Hicks heard this, she imdiately drew back her hand.
She didn’t want any surprise in their divorce, or all her efforts would be in vain!
She couldn’t help crying bitterly, "Then what should I do? Continue tolerating her nonsense? I don’t want to be seen as your mistress! "
"I don’t want you to be wronged. My lawyer will co to see her this afternoon."
"Really? Good! Let’s go out for breakfast. We need to be cautious at ho, but we don’t need to be outside! "
She said cheerfully, Stuart nodded, she felt even sweeter.
Back in the room, although Edie won the battle beautifully, she was not happy because of the words Stuart said before he left.
In fact, in such a sensitive period, the more she pestered Stuart, the more disgusted Stuart would feel towards her. Donald was a perfect example.
She desperately wanted to hold on, but she was holding onto the sand, the loss was awaiting her.
When the two left, she felt more and more empty and scared.
Edie sat down on the sofa, hugged herself tightly, and suddenly started doubting whether she was right or wrong.
She didn’t have anyone she could talk with. If only Scarlet was here.
Edie turned on the computer and sent an email to Scarlet.
I miss you very much. Where are you? Can we Faceti when you have ti?.
After that, she laid on the sofa and stared at the ceiling.
Just then, her phone rang. It was an unrecognized number.
After answering, it was Scarlet’s voice.
"Honey, I haven’t called you for a long ti, do you miss ?"
"You... you responded so quickly! "
"Because I was on my laptop and saw your email. I’m still working on my article, so I can’t video with you. I’ll see you later in the evening. I’m in Australia, and there are a lot of interesting places out here. I’m planning on going to the great barrier reef, and I heard that it’s very exciting and fun. With all the rafting and bungee jumping..."
She was talking happily. Unexpectedly, she heard Edie’s sobbing voice. She asked anxiously, "What’s the matter, honey, did sothing happen?"
"No, I just miss you so much." Edie tried to bear the pain and didn’t explain the reason, because she didn’t want Scarlet to worry about her.
She knew the reason Scarlet left in such a hurry was to go and heal her wounds so that she could completely forget about a person.
But is it really useful?
"Miss , that’s an easy problem to solve. I’ll co and find you once I co back from Australia."
Edie pursed her lips, hesitated for a mont, and said, "Scarlet, is traveling helpful for healing?"
After hearing this, Scarlet’s body quivered slightly, but she still smiled happily, "What are you talking about? I’m here to find inspiration. My the for this issue is ecology and nature..."
Before she finished, she was interrupted by Edie.
"You want to forget Jason, don’t you?"
The truth had been seen through, and she didn’t have to keep it secret anymore.
Scarlet smiled bitterly, and her volu was low, "Why be so straightforward, it will make sad."
"Is it useful? Can you forget Jason? When you think of him, does your heart still ache?" Edie asked earnestly.
"It’s different for everyone. So people are constantly moving on, and they will forget about past people and things. I think I can too."
So She hasn’t forgotten about Jason yet.
"Scarlet, tell when you do forget about him, will you?"
"Why do you want to know this? Who do you need to forget? Didn’t you forget Donald long ago? Did you fight with Stuart?" Scarlet asked puzzledly.
How could she know that her friend was suffering from great grievances?
Edie wiped the tears around her eyes and didn’t let herself cry.
"No, Stuart and I are all right. I’m just worried about you. You don’t want to co back to . Go on your trip, and it’s a beautiful place."
She didn’t want Scarlet to see her fragility, and she could only be strong while alone.
Scarlet noticed there was sothing wrong with Edie from her tone of voice, but since she refused to say anything, Scarlet didn’t want to force her.
The two of them chatted for a while, Edie suddenly asked, "Scarlet, you turned him down, and gave up happiness at your fingertips, don’t you regret it?"
Scarlet bit her lip and whispered, "Edie, do you know what’s more painful than losing soone?"
"What is it?"
"To lose him after having him."
Scarlet continued, "If you never had him, you won’t know how beautiful it is being with him, and you won’t want him all to yourself. It’s really painful to lose sothing after you get it."
Scarlet’s words exploded in Edie’s mind like a thunderbolt.
Does losing soone hurt?
Of course, it hurts. How can it not?
Because she knew how happy she was when she was with Stuart, she would feel so painful that she couldn’t be alone at all every day of not having Stuart.
She and Scarlet were two kinds of people. She would fight for it whenever it ca to losing soone. As long as they were not married, she would not give up. Scarlet, on the other hand, refused to start because she was afraid of losing.
The two choices were different, but they were both afraid of being hurt in a relationship.
After all, they were both fools.
Edie was afraid to continue talking with Scarlet. She was afraid that she would emotionally lose control and tell Scarlet about everything and make her worried. She ended the conversation in a hurry and hung up.
