But she believed it was just her illusion. Stuart still treated her indifferently, and he always showed his cold attitude towards her.
"Hurry up. You should pay for whatever we eat tonight."
Stuart squinted to calm himself down and walked to them.
Even Chandler could feel a strange atmosphere between the couple. He was worried about Edie. Her face looked paler now.
"Are you all right?"
"I am okay. Don’t worry. Hypoglycemia. I am just a little dizzy."
"Do you mind helping you? You seem to look tired and pale," Chandler asked kindly.
Edie froze. She felt she might fade out next second. Stuart was still walking behind her. Finally, she nodded, "Could you?"
"Of course. It’s my pleasure to help you." Chandler smiled.
After all, she was the girl he admired. He gave her his hands, shyly and pleasantly. And he was pleased that Edie made him feel important.
But at the mont, soone dragged the girl away.
"What the..."
She was shocked, falling in Stuart’s arms.
Edie looked at Stuart in astonishnt, "what do you want?"
"You can take a rest here if you feel tired. Don’t rest in other n’s arms."
Seeing Stuart’s eyes, Edie was confused for a mont. Did he recall sothing?
"Do...do you rember ? Do you rember even a small glimpse of us?"
"I just don’t be cheated on," he tried the best to control himself and sound indifferent. But, anwhile, he held her in arms more tightly.
Edie didn’t know how to describe her feeling. Too complicated.
"You can go ho now. My wife is tired. She needs rest."
Stuart said impatiently.
"But...Miss Lara..." Chandler turned towards Edie, waiting for her reply.
Edie wanted to irritate Stuart. But finally, she gave up. She couldn’t do this to him.
After all, he was the man she loved deeply.
Edie apologized, "Sorry, I felt tired today. I might need to leave now. Please tell Scarlet for . My treat next ti."
Chandler had no choice but agreed.
"Okay. Take care. This is my card. Call whenever you need help."
"Thank you, Chandler," Edie was grateful. Then she took the card in her wallet carefully.
Stuart saw everything. He was jealous, really jealous. He always got anything he wanted. Even he couldn’t get it for a second, and he could get it at the end. He never had to control himself before.
Stuart thought he might get crazy.
Then, he held Edie into the car imdiately.
"What do you want to eat? My treat," he said.
He placed her next to him. Edie liked this. She felt warm.
"Nothing. I want to go ho. I am exhausted."
"Whatever."
He said and started the engine.
"Stuart...if I decided to marry another man, you can imdiately divorce and get rid of . Why do you stop ?"
"..."
Edie closed his eyes tiredly. She fell asleep soon.
"When you appeared in the restaurant today, I was really happy. But when you said I ca here to find the next husband, I am really disappointed. Could you feel that? I don’t want to find the next husband; I just want to upset you. You’ve always been cold to . Do you know? You are really gentle to before...."
"Stuart...when can you co back to my life? Am I now just a cumberso for you? Are you tired of my appearance?"
She murmured and fell asleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, Stuart felt his heart was trembling fast.
He couldn’t help herself holding her hands.
Her small hands were cold but soft.
"Idiot. You are the woman I love the most. But if I couldn’t get rid of the mole, you might be thrown in danger at any mont. He knows your importance to . He threatened . If I failed, he would ruin your future. I couldn’t take the risk."
Stuart’s voice sounded warm and sad.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
anwhile, a car approached his car.
The man in the car wore black-frad glasses and a suit, like an office man.
That was William.
They were quite close to each other, but neither of them looked at each other.
Stuart used the Bluetooth headset to answer the phone.
"So brave. But don’t do this again when cooperating with . I don’t like it."
"If you couldn’t even handle this, I don’t have to cooperate with you anymore. Black wolf could handle everything."
"Wow, impressive, "William laughed, "I don’t expect that you still rember this na."
"You shot . I would never ever forget that."
Many years before, at night he t Hicks, William shot him, targeting his heart but missed. The bullet pierced through his body. Thanks to his strong will, he held up until he was sent to the hospital.
He should also appreciate one woman. Hicks.
Perhaps it was because she approached him when she was badly injured. When he woke up, he found he didn’t want to ask her away. It was the first ti for Stuart to allow a woman to stay with him.
The shot was the cost for Stuart to leave that place. Certainly, he had William paid for what he’s done to him.
He destroyed William’s throat.
Though they hated each other, they still needed each other now. If one betrayed, the other would kill him imdiately.
It was the rule of the division.
William recalled what he did to him. He felt complicated, "actually, I never admired anyone except you. You are brutal to everyone, including yourself. I couldn’t do that."
"You call to say this? "Stuart said calmly. He didn’t need William’s admiration.
William stopped laughing, "I’ve had everything arranged. You can send her away now."
Send her away.
Now...
Was she willing to leave him?
Stuart’s heart missed a beat. He looked at Edie’s face. She was sleeping. Her face was really beautiful.
Should he send her away now?
"You can stay with her for several days longer. It might take several years to deal with that guy. It’s not easy. You couple couldn’t see each other for quite a long ti if you really sent her away."
