He was drawn by the scent of her body, even hugging her tightly, he could still feel the emptiness in his heart as if what was in front of him was all illusion, Edie would run away from him sooner or later. The feeling made him terrified.
"Edie, I love you forever."
In the end, thousands of words only converged into this sentence.
I love you is the everlasting loving words between lovers.
"Stuart... I always knew that you, Marina, have a place in your heart. I donāt want you. I didnāt want to make things difficult for you, and I didnāt want to be the one you abandon. So Iād rather leave first myself..."
Edie could no longer resist the grievance and anxiety in his heart, like a child, she cried wantonly in his arms.
Her tears were boiling hot and wet his clothes, which hurt Stuartās heart too.
"Stuart ... Iām afraid you will leave me..." She was shaken and shattered.
When Stuart heard this sentence, all anger disappeared.
He caressed her beautiful hair with pity, sighed softly, his voice was low, he said in a loving tone, "What are you thinking? Why would I leave you, being with you has been my greatest luck!"
"But what about Hicks?" It suddenly occurred to her that there was another person in between them, Edie felt uncomfortable at the thought.
"Believe me, and Iāll handle it." Stuartās voice was firm, "This time, believe me, okay?"
After that, the manās tongue wrapped around the womanās delicate earlobe, like punishment, then bit it lightly or severely. Edie had been crying, so she was out of strength, after being licked by him, she could only lean on his chest.
"You... what are you doing?" Her voice was weak too.
"Punishment." Stuartās voice was a little angry, then he pinned Edie down under his body in a flash, "As punishment, sleep with me tonight, you canāt go anywhere!"
"Okay." This time, Edie did not refuse; she just nodded and then laid beside him.
Stuartās powerful arm hugged her tightly. She huddled in his arms and smelled the fresh and clean scent of his body. It was mixed with the smell of disinfectants. It was somewhat reassuring.
She slept soundly.
The next morning when she got up, Stuart was no longer around. She jumped out of bed and left the room. Then she saw Cecil at the door. He was crouching in the corner and drawing circles. She asked, "Where is Stuart?"
"He was cooking noodles in the morning, but he wouldnāt even allow me to smell it! Poor Cecil, Iām so hungry!"
Cecil pointed at his round stomach and cried sadly.
Edie took a serious look at his stomach and said helplessly, "You havenāt eaten much meal. But what about the snacks you ate secretly?"
"Can snacks serve as meals? No! Am I still hungry? Please, give me some more food, or Cecil will starve to death! "
"No."
Before Edie answered, Stuartās voice came from behind. She looked back, unexpectedly, Stuart prepared two breakfast and carried them upstairs.
"Come back to your room and rest for a while. You were tired of yesterday. Iāve called and asked for half a day-off for you."
Stuart always handled things carefully, and there had never been a slip, he was very reassuring.
She nodded and laughed and went back into the room.
"Em... What about mine? Whereās my share? I wonāt disturb you, and I will eat alone! " Cecil wanted the noodle so badly, and he even grabbed Stuartās trouser.
"Your nutritious meal is ready to. Go down and eat it."
"Ah? Nutritious? I donāt want it! Whatās good about cucumber, carrot, oats? I want fried eggs. I want bacon. I want cake."
Cecil stared at the plates in Stuartās hands with his big round eyes, and they were all his favorite delicacies.
Of course, he never picks on food!
Stuart looked at him coldly and said, "If you donāt go now, there wonāt even be a nutritious meal for you."
As soon as he said it, Cecil immediately withdrew his hand and wrinkled his small face.
"You donāt love me; you bully me..." The little fellow had a grieving face.
But Edie could not hear him at all. She took over the plates in Stuartās hands and said with some worries, "You are still a patient. Why are you up so early? These are not what a patient should do, okay?"
She touched Stuartās forehead with her hands. Yesterday, he had a fever of more than 40 degrees. Now he was much better. She was about to take a thermometer, but he stopped her, "But what if I want to do it for you?"
Stuart smiled. His handsome face was charming.
Edieās face turned red in an instant, "Donāt joke around? Did your fever make you talk like this?"
"Iām afraid if I donāt try my best to treat you well, you will leave me" Stuart could not help holding her gently in his arms, his chin was against her hair, his voice was low sexy, it hit her heart deeply.
Her face turned redder, and she said, "Donāt mention it again, the page is flipped!"
"Did you leave because you were jealous?" Stuart suddenly thought of something and asked.
"..." Edie was quiet. She looked around and argued, "No! Why would I be jealous? I was only retreating generously, not jealous."
"Yes, how generous of you, handing over your husband to someone else. Who gave you the courage to throw me away like that?" Stuartās voice had a tinge of anger to it.
"I didnāt throw you away... I was afraid." She explained.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was disrupted by Stuartās kiss. The kiss had so many emotions in it.
Love, care, connivance... and a tinge of sadness.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Stuart stared at the womanās beautiful eyes, and he said in a gentle but hoarse voice, "From now on, no matter, whatever happens, you can never push me away. Or leave me without saying anything, or saying something like divorcing me! Iām not discussing with you, and Iām commanding you, okay? If you do anything like this again, you know what Iāll do!"
