Indeed, Edie knew what they meant. But she didnāt get angry immediately. She just smiled, "You might not know what I can."
"What can you do?" Anny questioned her.
"slingshot, to catch birds. Then I would bake the birds. Another one, fighting. I can pull othersā hair and slap them in the face." She even added a bit of a smile after saying all of these. She hates the way this woman tried to treat her.
"Gosh, really brutal," Linda was timid. She screamed out.
"Yes, usually more than two girls. When one began, the competition started. We have no protection. We could choose any weapon as long as we like, including the necklace and bracelet. No one has to take responsibility for the light wound. But if someone were badly injured, the policemen would come. The competition tends to drive the development of history. Quite complex."
Edie said towards Anny.
Linda didnāt know what she meant. But Anny immediately got the point/
Edie wanted to fight with her. If she didnāt dare to, then stop saying any bullshit.
"Linda, normally, no one dares to play this game with me."
"Why?"
"Because they are afraid of me. I like mess-battle. I would ask lots of guys to help me. So I would win against anyone who dared to fight against me."
Edie smiled, looking at Anny indifferently.
Anyone who dared to hurt me would pay for it. This was Edieās principle. If Anny dared to keep this attitude to her, she wouldnāt be so polite. She had endured her attitude. However, her patience is wearing thin.
Looking at Edieās eyes, Anny was frightened.
She was indeed scared. If she got too rude, Brittany wouldnāt forgive her, not to mention the man behind this woman.
Finally, she left in silence.
Linda was confused, "Whatās wrong with her? Whatever, Edie, tell me more. Do you know any other interesting sports?"
"Yes, hide-and-seek. A group of guys hides and chooses one guy to find others. And card games....." Edie started talking nonsense in front of this cute innocent girl.
Linda took great interest in her talking, "Awesome. No wonder Stuart liked you. I heard before..... that he was gay...is it true. The gossip about Stuart before was real?"
Linda lowered the voice, asking her with caution.
She was just sixteen years old. She didnāt know much about this homosexual. So she was really curious knowing the sexual preference of a noble prince. Though Stuart looks so handsome and dignified, the gossip doesnāt disappear at all.
"Actually, I am also doubtful at that time. You know what? When I met Stuart for the first time, thereās no girls around him. Even the secretary and housekeeper are men. Even now, I still wonder whether he ever dated Ivan."
"Whoās Ivan?"
"His secretary. Stay with him all the time, from the company to his own house."
"Gosh, why? They must be a couple." Linda was surprised.
Edie nodded. She didnāt know the man behind her was staring at her.
"I think so. Actually, I suspected Ivan long ago. They stay together all the time. I bet they must do something dirty behind me. He must cheat on me."
"Edie, you must be careful. I donāt think Ivan was kind. He might take Mr.Yates from you."
"Really?" Edie looked frightened. "I never thought of this."
Linda got more serious, "It might happen. It had been saying for a long time that Stuart is gay. And you donāt show up until now. You couldnāt guarantee no one came into his life before. Think about it. Who is the one staying with him all these years?"
"Ivan?"
"When he felt tired, and worked too late, who still stayed with him?"
"Ivan?" Edieās voice trembled.
"Besides, whoās been participating in your life after you married?"
"Also.Ivan?"
"Yes. Ivan must have a crush on Stuart. He wanted to separate you two, so he could have Stuart."
The little girlās words sounded reasonable. Edie suddenly started suspecting.
Ivan indeed stayed with Stuart no matter what happened.
My God! Were they really a couple?
"What could I do?" Edie asked out of curiosity.
Linda said seriously, "Easy. Fix eyes on your man, and keep Ivan away from him. You must stay with Stuart all the time,"
Stuart heard the conversation. He got angrier and angrier. He realized he indeed spends too much time with Ivan. He could see him every second, from the company to his own house.
Therefore, Stuart took his phone out and texted Ivan.
"Donāt come to my house if you donāt have anything to tell me. Besides, keep a 1-meter distance away from me in the company."
Their conversation went ridiculous. Stuart felt Edie was almost convinced. He coughed.
The sounded like thunder, frightening two girls.
"Stop, my husbandās here," she lowered her voice and warned Linda.
Linda immediately shut up.
She was informed that this man, the CEO of the L.N. the group was almost inhuman. Besides, he liked men...
"Edie, excuse me. I suddenly have something to do. See you soon, darling."
Then, she immediately disappeared, leaving Edie alone.
"Wait. Take me."
Edie stood up and wanted to leave with her. But the man behind stopped her with his hand.
Edie turned around, seeing Stuartās face. She felt he wanted to eat her up.
"Darling?" She forced a smile.
"What are you talking about just now? You look really happy." he stared at her.
His voice sounded profound and scary. He wanted to punish his wife again through his own way to prove his sexual preference.
Edieās heart beat faster.
"No.....nothing. Just you and Ivan. Your friendship." Her voice went trembling. She couldnāt easily tell Stuart directly about her current thoughts.
"Really? Not exactly like what I heard." Stuart squinted.
With his magical hand, he stroked Edieās cheek and slid down her neck. Her skin was still sensitive from their previous lovemaking. She could not help shivering when she was touched so delicately.
After a few teases, Edie lost all her strength and leaned towards Stuartās chest.
She tried to stand up but was stopped by Stuartās arms.
