", too. I also love you the most," Edie leaned against his chest, feeling the sll on his body. It slt so good. So warm. He could warm each cell in his body.
"Excuse . How long have you been married? Long enough, right? Don’t hug here. Please,"
Jason and Scarlet walked towards them slowly. Scarlet’s hands recovered slowly. They ca to the hospital frequently for an inspection today.
The doctor told them Scarlet’s hand recovered quite well. She might be able to use it totally.
Everything went quite well.
Hearing their words, Edie imdiately flushed. She imdiately pushed Stuart away. But she failed. He held her into his arms more tightly,
"But I want to," Stuart said in a calm voice.
That voice...that expression on his face....
Apparently, he wished to tell everyone around how they loved each other.
Looking at Stuart, Edie rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Have you done the recovering process today? How’s it?" Edie asked them.
"Excellent. What about having dinner together? Jason would cook for us." Scarlet sounded so happy.
Hearing these words, Stuart couldn’t help himself frowning. "Jason cooks? No. Let cook."
Hearing Stuart’s words, Jason’s face changed imdiately, "What? No? Fine. I just cook for Scarlet, okay?"
"I don’t care. Let cook."
Stuart said directly, without any politeness.
"Stuart, don’t look down upon , okay? Let’s do it together. Then we would see who is better at this." Jason was provoked totally.
"Fine. I am sure I am better."
"Don’t say this so early. We will see in the kitchen."
"Fine. Let’s go."
"Great. Don’t be so proud. I would definitely win."
As two n quarreled with each other, Edie walked together with Scarlet.
Edie said in a helpless voice, "It is just cooking. Why do they have to argue on this?"
"I never expect they are so enthusiastic about cooking. I am so impressed. Apparently, we don’t have to cook for the rest of our life. All we need to do from now on is to enjoy the food."
"Indeed. That sounds great. So leave them to cook. You know what? Actually, Stuart is not good at cooking."
"So is Jason. Every ti I eat that food he cooks, I have to try the best to pretend that the food tastes so delicious."
"Yes. too. Every ti. You can imagine. I always feel embarrassed about this."
As two girls passed through them while talking about them in a loud voice, the two n’s face changed imdiately.
Two girls were too straight.
When they parked in the parking lot and entered the stairway, they saw several red big, bold words on the wall.
RETURN THE MONEY, JEFF.
Seeing these words, Scarlet’s face turned pale imdiately. But Jason imdiately held her hands. She felt the warmth from the palm of Jason.
He walked to Scarlet and held her into his arms, protecting her from any dangers at the most important point.
Scarlet imdiately rembered what they’ve been through together. Then, she gradually cald herself down.
Compared with their love, this was nothing for Scarlet.
While Scarlet accepted treatnt in the hospital, Jeff never ca to her. Scarlet thought he might really let her go now. She didn’t expect that she still owed others a large amount of money.
Scarlet forced herself to raise the corner of her mouth and said, "I was happy today. I don’t expect this. I am sorry. I might not be able to make ti to have dinner with you."
"Why?"
Edie was so shocked. Because she rembered that she had given Jeff one million for him to return the money and get Scarlet’s house back, those people wouldn’t find this place.
What was wrong?
Edie didn’t dare to tell Scarlet. She didn’t want her to feel sad. Therefore, she nodded. "Okay. We would co tomorrow. Take care of yourself."
"Okay. Be careful. Stuart, take care of her."
"I would," Stuart took Edie and left. When she got into the car, she imdiately told Stuart, "I gave him the money and asked him to get that house back. Why did this happen?"
"Have you seen that he returned the money? You have no idea what he did with that large amount of money. No one knows," Stuart threw an eye on his little wife and reminded her of this fact.
Hearing his words, Edie froze slightly. Indeed, she didn’t think about this when she gave Jeff that money. But he was Scarlet’s father. Would he do harm to his own daughter?
"But...he is Scarlet’s father."
"Don’t forget. Stanley is also your father." Stuart reminded Edie. But Stanley never really cared about Scarlet.
Stuart lived in an indifferent family. He had been used to this. Everyone cared about nothing but benefit. He didn’t change until he t with Edie.
Hearing his words, Edie fell into silence for a while.
Indeed, Stanley was her father. But he never really cared about her or her mother.
When ntioning those stories, Edie beca a little sad. But she felt more sorry for Scarlet.
Edie could understand Scarlet’s feelings. She didn’t know whether she could go through this.
"Silly girl. Don’t worry about them. Every family has its own problem. You don’t have to feel sorry. It is their fate. Just let them handle it, all right?"
Stuart fastened the seat belt for Edie and then kissed on her forehead. He didn’t want her to worry about them for a long ti.
Edie sighed helplessly and held her big hands tightly, "Thank you for staying with all these years."
"If so, you might have to thank forever because I would stay with you forever. I would stay with you this life, next life, next life after next life, and so on."
"You should not be too greedy. Greediness might force you to hell."
"As long as I can stay with you, I don’t care about anything else," Stuart raised the corner of his mouth and said in a gentle voice.
***
Scarlet walked upstairs, step by step. Jason held her all the ti. He was worried that this girl might fall down at any mont.
"I would stay with you," Jason said in a calm voice.
"Okay," Scarlet threw an eye on the man aside from her. She had no one else now. She had no choice but to believe the man standing in front of her now.
They slowly moved upstairs. The wall upstairs was also covered with red paint. It looked like red blood dropping down.
Several words were written down on the wall, forcing Scarlet to return the money.
The door was opened. Everything valuable insides the room was crushed as if it was a robbery.
Scarlet saw a piece of note on the tea table.
If you could not return the money, I would cut your father’s body into pieces and threw them into the ocean.
It was two days ago. Today was the third day.
Scarlet was shocked. No matter how asshole Jeff was, he was her father. She couldn’t see his death.
"Jason."
She looked towards Jason nervously. Now she’s puzzled. She didn’t know what to do now. She knew nothing about usurious loan-related kidnap.
