Looking at these two little kids, Brittany burst into laughter, "Wow. So you are friends now? Do you want to tell my brother to betroth you? Quite lovely."
"No. What the hell are you talking about? How could it be possible for to get married to him? My man must be better than my father. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to conquer . Don’t you think so?"
Laty placed her hands on her waist and said like a little adult.
Seeing this, Ivan made an innocent smile, pretending that he didn’t know what two girls in front of her were talking about. But he’s developed an idea inside. He swore to God; he would make this little girl regret what she said today.

At the sa ti, inside the hospital, Edie and Stuart are walking on the lawn. Stuart recovered quickly. He could stand up for the first ti when he was transferred to the general ward.
"The sun had almost sunk behind the hills. It is cold. We should go back now."
She put a coat on him to protect himself from coldness. When she wanted to take her hands back, he held her hands tightly suddenly.
He fixed his black eyes on her face. Edie got confused slightly. She looked towards him.
"What’s up?"
"When you left five years ago, have you promised Norman anything?"
Hearing his words, Edie’s face changed. She struggled to take her hands back. But Stuart held her hands so tightly that Edie could not take her hands back.
Edie even started suspecting whether he was a patient or not. He held her hands so tightly.
"I already know that. I was still wondering why Norman let go at the ti. I am his enemy. How could it be possible? Besides, the bracelet that Norman gave Edie was on Arther’s wrist after you left. When I found you five years later, I started suspecting. Have you made a deal with Norman? You chose to leave to ensure my safety, right?"
He fixed his eyes on her, asking her in a low and hoarse voice. Edie could feel his repressed anger.
Was he.... angry?
Edie looked towards him with her wet, cloudy hands and said in a low voice, "we’ve found each other again. You don’t need to know that."
When she said these words, Stuart held her tightly in his arms.
He closed his eyes, feeling the sll of the girl in his arms. Only in this way could he felt that he was still in this world.
Before he t her, he was living in hell. It was Edie that dragged him out of that horrible world.
After she left him, he suffered a lot. Every ti he was reminded that he would live in this world alone without her, he always blad her brutality.
"When you left , don’t you worry about ?"
He asked her in a thick voice next to her eyes, deeply shaking her soul. Edie could feel slight sorrow from his voice.
Edie blinked her eyes. The corner of her eyes got wet. She felt soreness on her nose.
"But I want you to be alive. I want you to have a good life. As long as you are still alive, I am willing to do anything, not to ntion to promise Norman to keep myself away from you. It is enough for to see you are still alive. Besides, actually, during these five years, you couldn’t see . But I could see you. Every ti I went back to London, the first thing I would do was to visit you in your flat. You stayed up all the ti. When I arrived at your flat, I saw the light in your study room was still on. You didn’t have dinner on ti. Sotis you were still reading files in the car. You would look ahead when you walk into the office building....
"Actually, I know everything about you in these five years. I know everything, when you caught a cold, when you had a fever, you refused to go to the hospital. When I saw those doctors rushing into your flat, I felt so sad. No one could be there to rub your stomach when you had a stomach ache. No one could pour you a glass of warm water. No one could prepare dicine for you. I went to the L.N. building before. But I didn’t make an appointnt in advance. So I had to wait for you in the hall. I saw you walking out of the elevator, roaring at Ivan. You looked so cold and angry that even I didn’t dare to approach you."
"Stuart, you couldn’t feel my existence."
She said these words in a sad voice. Her tears already wet his clothes.
Hearing these words, Stuart felt his heart was aching, "Why do you ensure that I couldn’t feel you?"
"You made believe you’ve already passed away. I thought it was nothing more than my illusion. I am sorry. If I know you are still alive, I would definitely look for you. I would never stay in the building doing nothing for you."
Edie wiped her tears away and took a deep breath, "I wouldn’t do that again. I would never leave you again. I wouldn’t hide from you. I would always stand at the place where you can find waiting for you. I promise."
"So, please, don’t do this again, okay? It is man’s responsibility to protect the girl he loves." the man lowered his head, kissing on her head slightly.
The kiss was mixed with lots of different emotions.
"So Norman would not make us any trouble, right?"
"Yes. He is a man of his word. After I settled everything in the group, I would take you back to our world." he raised the corner of his mouth and showed a slight voice.
The smile looked warr than the sunlight in winter.
"Okay. I would be in charge of making money. All you need to do is to be handso and attractive." Edie said happily. She hid her deep anxiety.
She had a bad feeling. Norman represented the benefit of the whole governnt. The Leon’s was also quite powerful. If Norman gave up, would the governnt let Stuart go?
Besides, what Stuart fought against was not just one person. He was standing against the whole board of directors, sixteen directors in total, including Ellison, Louis, and Rose.
Once the balance insides L.N. was broken, what would the public think?
As the saying went, a slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole.
She wanted to persuade Stuart to stop. But she knew he did these for her and their daughter.
Three children in the Yates couldn’t grow up at their will. They were all forced to behave according to their family code.
Stuart didn’t register their marriage because he was worried that Laty might be forced to receive that kind of education. He didn’t want Laty to be one of them.
As a mother, of course, Edie didn’t want that, either.
If she could choose, she would definitely choose to fight against the rule for proper rights and benefit for her child.
She wanted her daughter to be able to control her future and decide what to do in her life, instead of repeating what Stuart did in his life.
Therefore, she held all her words back. She decided to spare no effort to support her husband and fight with him.
As for the future, she would take responsibility for him.
She hid her worry and said in a joyful voice, "Laty told that she thought you didn’t love her. Now she needs to know how deeply you care about her."
"I do care about Laty. But I care about you more. She had a man in the future and us. But you have only . So I want to be nicer to you, to avoid your being jealous of our daughter."
"What are you talking about? I won’t be jealous of my own daughter. If our daughter could live a better life, I would feel happy for her. I won’t be jealous."
"So, you want to be nicer to our daughter instead of you?" Stuart raised his eyebrows.
"..." she didn’t an that, either.
