When hearing these words, Stuart felt his heart was trembling hard. He held fist tightly. The nail inserted in his skin. Apparently, it took him lots of effort to control himself.
He tried the best to hide the pain deep in his heart and said in a flat voice, "finished?"
He spared no effort to say these words out. It was so difficult for him as if the word almost tears his heart apart.
"I am finished..."
Edie said in a low voice and loosened hands. But she caught Stuart’s arm tightly next mont and bit his arms hard.
She bites so hard that the arms started bleeding.
The man never cried out. However, he felt painful.
Edie wanted to take vengeance on her. Stuart didn’t cry. But she already burst into tears.
Though her eyes were full of tears, she didn’t want to let him go.
Stuart lowered eyes to look at her. She looked desperate. He couldn’t help himself covering her head with his big hands.
"If you feel better doing this, then do whatever you want." he suddenly beca gentle.
Edie didn’t know how long she kept biting his arms. She felt his teeth was trembling. She couldn’t hold on anymore. So she loosened his arms. The blood was dried in her mouth.
She touched her tears and looked towards Stuart, "we are even."
Whatever you did to these days, you didn’t owe anything. Neither did I.
She wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth and turned around. At this mont, Edie thought she looked like heroin. She believed she must be quite handso. She didn’t do anything awkward.
Ivan wanted to send her back, but she rejected his kindness.
"We’ve already divorced. We are even. We are no longer in the sa world. Besides, don’t contact anymore."
Then she got in a taxi. As the taxi passed by Stuart’s car, she didn’t throw an eye on it.
The driver said, "Miss, do you want to close the window. Your eyes were red. The wind is heavy."
"No. Thank you."
If the window was closed, she couldn’t find any reason to cry.
She didn’t rush to go back to the flat. Instead, she went to the park, a park near a university. There were lots of couples dating here.
It was four o’clock in the afternoon. The sunlight was warm. It was the perfect ti for those lovers to date.
Lovers were kissing and hugging everywhere. Love was the purist in this world.
She was now twenty-three years old. At this age, so people haven’t graduated. They were still enjoying their teenage years.
But she was different from them. She already got married and divorced. She already perceived a baby. She’s been through a lot in her life. She’s changed. She’s grown up.
Scarlet kept calling her. But Edie didn’t want to answer the call. She just left the phone shaking in her pocket.
She didn’t leave the park until it was eight o’clock in the evening when almost everyone left. She stood up and left under the moon.
It’s already 9 o’clock when she got back to the flat.
When she arrived, everyone rushed to her and surrounded her.
"Pretty girl, are you okay? If you are sad or angry, you can slap . I am totally fine with that."
"Edie, where have you been? We are so worried about you. Aaron got out to look for you. Did you et him?"
"Aaron? I didn’t see him." Edie got a little confused.
She looked pale. Her eyes were a little swallowed. Apart from these, she looked well, as if nothing happened.
At the mont, Aaron said behind her, "I am here."
Edie turned around. She was a little surprised. Aaron arrived after her. Was he following her all the ti this afternoon?
She didn’t ask him. It would make it awkward if she asked too much.
"It is too late. Don’t stand here. Edie should take a rest. We also need to take rest."
Hearing his words, everyone in the house fell into silence. They wanted Edie to take a rest.
Edie appreciated his kindness. She went back to her own room,
After taking a shower, she felt hungry. She realized she didn’t eat anything at noon. Actually, she didn’t want to eat anything. But she perceived a baby. She couldn’t make his baby starve.
She thought for a while and decided to go downstairs to make so food.
But there was still soone staying in the kitchen.
It was Aaron.
"What are you doing?"
"You didn’t have dinner yet. I want to cook sothing for you. Is at porridge okay? I am not good at cooking. I also cooked two eggs."
"Thank you. That’s great."
She was not in a mood to eat. She could eat everything as long as she could get rid of starvation.
Soon, the at porridge was prepared.
Edie noticed he didn’t make a bowl for himself. So she walked into the kitchen and poured a bowl of porridge for him.
"You also didn’t eat anything tonight. We can eat together."
She wanted to tell him she knew he’s following him all the way.
Aaron smiled. He didn’t reject her kindness and sat down, asides her.
Edie ate a bowl of porridge quickly as if she was not sad at all. Aaron was a little surprised.
Then she wiped her mouth. When seeing Aaron left half of the bowl of porridge, she asked him confusingly, "aren’t you hungry? Don’t keep looking at my face. Do you see anything strange on my face?"
"You acted a little differently from what I’ve imagined ."
"you’ve imagined? What do you imagine?"
"Hold your head, bury your head in your arms and cry all night, as if you are abandoned by the world," Aaron said and smiled.,
Edie rolled her eyes and said three words, "go to hell."
Aaron smiled and padded on her shoulder, "this is my girl. Stuart didn’t deserve your love. You can do better."
For example, .
He said in silence.
"Don’t worry. I won’t let you worry about . From now on, no one can hurt . So you don’t have to worry about ," she said and padded on his head in return.
Apparently, Edie wanted revenge on what he’s said.
"I am full. Go upstairs to take a nap. Don’t stay up. Good night."
She washed the bowl and went upstairs.
After closing the door, she was too exhausted to keep her smile.
She gave up a deep breath and laid on the bed.
Then, she got a call from Danny.
Danny sounded really serious. It seed difficult for him to say out, "Edie...I need to tell you bad news."
