"I miss you."
"Please, Mr. CEO. Don’t forget your public image."
"What are you calling ?" Stuart’s voice turned cold suddenly. Apparently, he didn’t like what she called him.
"Mr. CEO," Edie looked quite innocent as if she didn’t know why he got angry so suddenly.
Stuart suddenly realized sothing.
Shit. He almost forgot they already divorced. Edie was no longer his wife now.
"We should leave for A tomorrow. We should register again."
"You’d better take care of yourself. As for our marriage, we still have a long ti. Besides, since I am now a single lady, I am free to date with different kinds of guys. That is great. I don’t rush to jump into the grave of marriage."
Edie showed a relaxing smile. Looking at Stuart’s anger, she felt she was totally recovered from the sorrow and depression these days.
He was so determined to divorce her. Then that was the result. Take it.
"Edie, I apologize. You can do whatever you want to do to . But don’t ever consider divorce. I would never let you go unless I die."
Stuart sounded so determined.
Edie didn’t like what he said. She frowned, "What the hell are you talking about? Eat sothing now. I want you to be alive, staying with ."
Looking at her beautiful face, Stuart felt so warm at the bottom of the heart.
It was so good with Edie around him.
Next morning.
Bette arrived at the training base quite early. She knitted her brows and glared. She looked so worried as if she already realized how heavy the conversation with Stuart would be.
When she walked into Stuart’s ward, Edie was not in there. She was a little surprised.
"She was preparing for breakfast. She won’t hear our conversation," Stuart said.
"Great. We don’t need to tell her now. The later, the better. You looked much better now. That’s so great. I can take relief now." Bette said.
"I think you know what I want to talk about to you today. You’ve seen all those happening in A. I believe you also realized sothing, right? "Stuart asked in a cold voice.
The vice president’s face looked bad, especially when Stuart started talking about the point today. She knew who was the mole. But that made her feel worse.
She knew, but...she didn’t want to acknowledge.
But she had to, "you an your uncle, right?"
"No one is more susceptible than him. You’ve been with Tammie Lynch for three years. But there’s seldom people knowing this. When Ann Lara stole her family’s confidential file and gave it to Stanley, the Lara’s was confronted with great loss. But Greg’s started boosting. The Lynch cooperated with Lara’s once, so they knew these secrets. Because Tammie needed finance to help you, he sold this information to Stanley, helping Stanley escape from Lara’s investigation. After all, Lara’s headquarter was located in the River State. They are not familiar with A. That was why they couldn’t find Ann and Edie after looking for them for such a long ti.���
"I’ve been thinking about this for quite a long ti. Except you and Tammie, I am the only one knowing what happened that year. But I soon realized I missed one, my uncle. But you never forgot him. But you couldn’t be sure. After all, our uncle is always sick. He took a long ti to accept treatnt abroad. It is really impossible for him to do such a thing. So you decided not to tell ."
"He is familiar with your pattern. He knew you couldn’t keep silent forever. So he accelerated the progress. He kidnapped Aaron. Apparently, he wanted to kill . The thod was the sa. He used the sa approach to kill my father by forging an accident. Then, done. No one would suspect him. The best result is to bla Aaron. So we would be separated completely."
Stuart said word by word. His voice sounded indifferent and cold, without any emotion.
Bette was slightly shocked by these words. Even though she already knew the result, she was not willing to accept it until Stuart said these words out directly.
"He is your uncle. We grew up together. He couldn’t do this," Bette still wanted to reject the truth.
"You should ask him for yourself. If it is hard for you, I can handle it myself. This involves lots of people, including Edie’s mother. I don’t want to hurt Edie’s feelings. Moreover, it might get Cecil involved. He is just a little kid. I would keep the secret from them."
Only when ntioning Edie, would Stuart look gentle.
He chose to divorce Edie not only to protect her but also to keep her away from what happened those years.
He didn’t want to hurt her. Therefore, he decided to conceal this from her.
After hesitating for quite a while, Bette said, "I can handle it."
After all, he was her brother.
At the mont, they heard soone stepping in. It was Edie,
She knocked on the door, "Can I co in?"
"Co in," Stuart smiled. Deep in his dark eyes was gentleness.
Edie opened the door. Seeing Bette, she was not surprised,
"Mom, I���ve made so porridge. Have you had breakfast? I can take another bowl. Join us."
"Join us. She made breakfast herself." Stuart said.
Stuart knew what Edie wanted. She wanted to enjoy breakfast with her family. He didn’t want to disappoint her. So he tried to persuade Bette.
Bette wanted to refuse at the beginning because she knew Stuart wouldn’t like that. She didn’t expect he invited her. So she agreed. She hid her joy and said, "I’d love to. I haven’t eaten anything this morning. Thank you, Edie."
Edie looked so happy. She poured a bowl of porridge. Stuart wanted to take it. Edie stopped him imdiately, "This one is for our mom. What are you doing?" She knocked his fingers with the chopsticks.
Stuart froze for a while. He seldom had dinner with Bette. Even though they ate on the sa table, both felt embarrassed. Either he or Bette would leave the table first. So he never considered his mother.
Besides, he didn’t want to eat first. He just wanted to give it to Edie.
But since Edie said, Stuart imdiately moved the bowl to Bette.
Then he took another bowl of porridge and stirred carefully. After the porridge cooled down a little bit, he moved it to Edie.
"I don’t drink milk. You can drink mine. Good for your health," he said.
"Okay."
The vice president enjoyed the breakfast silently. Looking at them getting together again, she felt so happy.
Stuart was exactly the sa as his father. He looked so cold in front of others. But when he stood in front of the girl he loved deeply, he would be so gentle and cute.
