" After twenty minutes, they arrived at the Tamon Hall.
Scarlet got out of the car and left with Edie. Jason looked hopeless, "Stuart, you wife abducted my girl."
"Your girl abducted my wife. Seriously."
Stuart looked a little annoying. He emphasized the words, fixing his eyes on Jason.
The hall was full of people. Donald and Joanna arrived earlier than them. Everyone greeted the couple.
Suddenly, soone shouted out, "The Yates couple is coming,"
The hall fell into silence imdiately. Everyone moved sides.
Finally, two couples t each other.
Edie and Joanna. One was enthusiastic, like fire, and the other was quiet, as water. Both were attractive.
After entering the hall, Scarlet stepped back imdiately. Stuart held Edie’s waist and stood in front of all the people. He wanted to destroy those rumors imdiately.
"Hi, Mr. Yates, Mrs. Yates."
Donald took his wife and gave his hands gently.
Stuart shook his hands, "Hi."
At the mont, Joanna kept fixing her eyes on Edie. Then she smiled, "Mrs. Yates, you are Mr. Yates’ wife. Quite surprising."
Hearing her words, Donald froze for a mont and smiled, "I am sorry. My wife is so happy here. Have a good ti, Mr. Yates. I need to take her for a rest."
Stuart nodded slightly. Donald then held Joanna’s waist and left.
"I know you love dessert, right? Let’s go there. They also provide your favorite lemon juice."
"We can go with them. They look friendly."
"We can stay together alone. Isn’t it enough?" Donald smiled slightly and left with her.
"What are you talking about? Don’t flirt with here", Joanna blushed imdiately. She couldn’t help herself, staring at him. But apparently, she was filled with joy insides.
Looking at their back, Edie thought it might be the best result for everyone.
However,...
She didn’t know this was not the result. On the contrary, it was just a beginning.
At the mont, inside the room was a bubble of the crowd while outsides of the room were silent.
The guards at the door were quite quiet. As the cold air passed, the night beca colder and isolated.
At the mont, a black Bentley has been parked at a distance for quite a while.
Actually, it has been fifteen minutes since Yates entered the hall. But their boss didn’t want them to make any movent.
Finally, his followers broke the silence, "Sir, shall we go?"
A man sat on the back seat. The car window was closed tightly. The light was off. It was dark inside the car.
"I don’t like guys talking too much."
The man in the darkness said in a scary voice as if it ca from hell.
The temperature insides the car inclined several degrees imdiately.
The man shut his mouth up imdiately. He didn’t dare to say one more word.
The man looked away and fixed his eyes on the door of Tamon Hall. After quite a while, the guilt finally won. He frowned and ordered his man, "take the present to them. Let’s go now."
This ti, no one dared to ask any question.
Since the man was already given the order, they were supposed to terminate the plan.
"I’ve paid all. Next ti...I would challenge L. N face to face".
The man said word by word, with determination, as if he was declaring sothing.
At the sa ti, insides the hall.
Stuart stayed with Edie closely to protect her. People kept greeting and toasting to them to bless them with eternal love.
All of them believed Edie and Stuart never divorced. Only several people knew they indeed divorced before.
"Why did they call you ’Mr. CEO’? You’ve quit the job, haven’t you?"
"L.N haven’t announced this decision. So they didn’t know about this," Stuart said in a calm voice. His face remained the sa.
Edie nodded. She was a little anxious.
She was not Mrs. CEO anymore. But everyone here still called her Mrs. CEO. She felt so embarrassed.
At this mont, a waitress walked to them with a box in their hands. She stood in front of them and said, "Sir, soone told to take this to you."
Stuart frowned slightly and took the box. He opened the box.
It was a well designed and manufactured Platinum bracelet. Quite simple. On its surface was a complicated decorative pattern. These patterns made the bracelet look heavy and ancient.
Such a beautiful bracelet should be given to a girl.
Or was it from a strange girl?
"Who gave you this?" Edie asked him confusingly.
"A friend. It is a present for you," he took the bracelet out and wore on Edie’s wrist.
"For ?" Edie was a little surprised. She rolled the bracelet. Then she saw a sequence of letters, "Chabert? Right?"
"Yes," Stuart nodded. He held her hands and said, "Wear the bracelet. It might be helpful in the future."
He took a sip of champagne and led Edie into the crowd to greet others.
But...if Edie looked at his eyes at this mont, she would find sothing different.
Deep in his eyes was a danger.
***
Stuart left with Edie before the eting ended. Because Edie needed to sleep at ten o’clock. She needed to sleep for at least eight hours every day. Besides, she needed to exercise in the morning.
She was a pregnant woman now. He was her personal housekeeper.
The next morning, when Edie got up, she saw it was white everywhere outsides. Before she figured out what happened, she slt warm milk.
Stuart smiled towards her and said, "Ti to get up, darling. It is snowing outside."
"What, snowing?"
Edie jumped down imdiately. She rushed to the window imdiately without wearing the slippers. It was November now. December would co soon.
A was surrounded by the sea. In most years, it wouldn’t snow until it was in the middle of December. The snow ca quite early this year.
Looking at his wife’s slim back, Stuart frowned slightly. He walked to her and held her up. Then he wore shoes for her and said, "Brush your teeth, wash your face, and put your clothes on before going there. It is so cold there."
"Yes, Mr. CEO," Edie so well-behaved this ti. She let Stuart hold her to the bathroom.
Then Stuart placed her on the table and squeezed toothpaste out of a tube for her. Then he poured warm water and washed the towel to wipe her sleepy face.
She let him do whatever he did on her face, like a little cat.
Then he put clothes on her, from thermal underwear insides, then a sweater and finally down jacket on the outer layer. After drinking milk up, she blinked her bright eyes and stared at Stuart.
After getting everything done, she rushed out imdiately.
