Chapter 52: Held Back his Desire

Stuart held back his desire and took Edie back into the room, discovering the woman in his arms had already fallen asleep, he swallowed his words. Like a kitten, Edie was curled up and rubbed herself against his chest.

Stuart was amused and annoyed at the same time. This beautiful woman seduced him without taking any responsibility and fell asleep. However, he didn’t realize how soft his gaze was on her.

Stuart took a deep breath and finally brought back his control over himself. He gently placed Edie on the bed and carefully pulled the blanket on top of her. Edie was in a deep sleep and didn’t notice him. She smacked her lips as if recollecting the flavor of something.

"My Seducer." He moaned in a husky voice, restraining himself. Then, he leaned forward and kissed her smooth forehead. "Good night."

Stuart returned to his own room, and because of the arousing night he had, he took a long cold shower.

"What a long night," he thought to himself.

The next day, Edie slept in, which she had never done before. She had no idea what earthshaking things she had done last night and could only remember herself drinking wine with Stuart in the living room. She couldn’t even remember how she got back to her room.

Edie had no burden on her heart whatsoever. She even thought in her mind, and good wine is indeed different. Even though she was drunk, she had no hangover today and even slept well last night.

Edie had a big stretch, then slowly got out of bed to change.

Stuart had already finished his breakfast and was reading the financial paper at the dining table, as she walked downstairs, his gaze was stagnated. Edie acted like nothing had happened, "Good morning."

Stuart’s expression was complicated and asked, "How was your sleep last night?"

"Very good."

"Do you remember what happened?"

"Last night?" Edie was confused, "Weren’t we drinking wine? I seemed to have drunk too much and fell asleep, right?" She forgot everything.

Stuart couldn’t tell if he was glad or upset. He then thought in his head, and red wine is good stuff, he should get more of it.

"Did I do anything last night? I rarely get drunk, so I’m not sure how I acted. I hope I behaved myself." The wine last night was so delicious and so strong.

"No," Stuart stopped, and his eyes cooled down, "but don’t drink with anyone else from now on." If anyone else sees what she was like last night, it will drive him crazy. Edie nodded absent-mindedly and reached her hand for the toast on the table.

Stuart handed the jam over to her naturally. Mr. Sampson observed their tacit interaction and smiled like a father. Such a beautiful couple, he thought.

After breakfast, Carol came in with a troubled face, and she reported, "Master Yates, the hydrangea flower in your study is dying." Edie asked, "How come?"

"I don’t know Mrs. Yates, the one in your room is still in good condition. I watered and fertilized them together. I don’t know why, but it keeps getting worse."

Carol’s volume lowered towards the end. She was afraid of displeasing Stuart. Stuart’s voice remained cold and said, "Then throw it away."

Edie suddenly thought of something and laughed, "Stuart, the flower in my room is in good condition, and the one in your study died. Don’t you think the flower might have died from your coldness ha ha ha..."

Carol didn’t realize Edie was joking. She has always regarded Master with amazement. Having heard Edie’s words, she was scared to death.

"No, Mrs. Yates, it was my responsibility."

"Don’t worry; there’s no need to be nervous. Stuart is not blaming you." Carol still thought it was her fault and stood rigidly. Stuart didn’t like to be disturbed when he was with Edie, he said softly, "You can go now."

Mr. Sampson could bear no more, he stepped forward and said to Carol, "Let’s go. I’ll help you dispose of the flower." Edie’s eyes rolled and suddenly thought of something, "Stuart, let’s go buy some flowers!" Stuart looked at her and signaled her to continue on.

"The flower in your study just died. Also, the house is too big, with too much green. It seems dull. We are free today, so let’s go and have a look in the flower market." Her deer-like eyes blinked at him, being stared at by such a beautiful pair of eyes made Stuart want to satisfy all her needs.

"Okay, let’s go."

Master Yates and Mrs. Yates were going on a date. It would be in a strange location, but Mr. Sampson was still thrilled. When he suggested to Stuart to bring a few bodyguards, Stuart refused in a definitive tone.

Are they kidding me, Edie is leaving tomorrow, why bring third wheels with him when this is the only time he can be alone with her, is he crazy? The two of them walked straight to the garage.

Even though Edie had already prepared herself, she was still shocked by a row of luxury cars. From the shock she experienced seeing the Lamborghini to the astonishment she experienced seeing the Bugatti Veyron a limited edition, Edie felt her mental quality was being upgraded.

"You have so many luxury cars, why do you only drive the understated stretched Lincoln Limousine to work?"

Compared to the other luxury cars in the garage, the stretched Lincoln Limousine was indeed very understated. Stuart pondered for a second and asked, "Have you ever collected models when you were little?"

Edie nodded.

"That’s pretty much why I collected those cars. I actually don’t really like to drive them; they’re more for me to look at," Stuart said.

Edie, "Are they even comparable?" The money an ordinary person uses to buy models in a lifetime cannot even buy a car wheel for one of his fancy cars! Edie was speechless, Stuart simply said, "You like it? Then let’s drive the Bugatti."

Edie said in haste, "No, no, no. There are only three of those cars in this whole country, if you drive it to the flower market, that’s the same as telling everyone, "I’m rich, rip off me."

Edie strolled around, and she had to admit, the Cherokee she drove last time was indeed the cheapest car in the garage. She thought it was a high profile car, but she was wrong.

Finally, they picked the Cherokee, which made Edie feel not so pressured, and Stuart drove. Surprisingly, Stuart’s driving skills were excellent. He was super steady, and she could barely feel the bumps.

"I thought a noble like you, who has always had a driver, would have forgotten how to drive. I didn’t expect you to drive so well. Have you seen this movie? I can’t remember what it’s called, but a driver wanted to improve his driving skills. He puts a cup of water on his car every night and drove the mountain roads to practice. He had to make sure the cup of water didn’t get spilled. I always thought it was fake. Seeing you drive so steadily, I even want to try and put a cup of water on the car now."

"I’ve tried it before."

"Huh?!" Edie was shocked.

"I drove continuously for five hours without spilling the water in the cup."
