"Donât say you loved her. If you really loved her, you should never hurt her. The so-called "responsibility" is just your excuse. You are not qualified to be a man. You ruin a woman. She still loved you at the last moment. She asked me to stay with you. She told me that you are a good man. It took me ten years for me to prove that you are a kind and upright man. But I failed."
"You are a selfish man. Even if you know you, and she would end with tragedy, you still approached her and slept with her."
Each word, like a sharp knife, pulling into Stanleyâs heart and he didnât know how to refute. He had so much pain, and he somehow feels that Edie lost her respect for him.
Finally, Edie said coldly, "After the after-marriage return feast, I want to dissolute our upbringing relationship. I have nothing to do with you."
"Impossible. Everyone knows that my daughter is going to marry Stuart. If you do this, what would they say?" Stanley panicked. He doesnât want to lose this chance to get a connection from Yatesâs family.
It was at this moment that he really exposed his nature.
Edie kept sneering, "This is your problem. I donât care. I know that you need my husbandâs connection to get your business back on track,"
"Iâve raised you up for many years..." Stanley said, aiming to get his daughterâs help.
Stanley wanted to persuade her. But Edie shouted out loudly.
"Shut up. Youâve never been a father to me. If even dare to hurt me physically the time I pleaded you to protect me,"
Everyone in the airport suddenly fell into silence and looked towards them.
Edieâs eyes become red. She looked at him with hatred, "Shut your mouth up. You never raise me up. Never. When my grandpa left the house, I could never share a table with you. All clothes were picked up from Victoriaâs garbage. Have you really taken me as your daughter? When I asked my grandpa to send me to the boarding school, I wished I didnât have to come back again. I hate our home. It seems to have been hell when you chose to marry another woman."
"You are not qualified to say these words."
Then, Edie turned around, leaving him.
Then, she saw a familiar figure. It was her husband, Stuart.
Stuart frowned. When he entered and heard Edieâs voice, he rushed here.
At the moment he saw her tears, he rushed towards her, holding her in arms tightly. Next second, Edie leaned against him. Currently, she was as weak as an infant and seeking her husbandâs warm embrace.
She closed her eyes, but tears still poured out. She couldnât stop tearing. She bites her lips, trying to keep quiet. She almost broke her lips.
Stuart never saw this before. He couldnât bear to see his wife getting hurt. It hurts him even more, when he sees her crying.
She was in deep sorrow.
Stuart held her up and placed her in his car. Others were in Brittanyâs car.
"You can cry loudly on my shoulder if you want," Stuart wiped her tears, but tears kept falling down.
Edie tried the best to control herself. Stuartâs words made her stop sobbing. She directly held him and cried out in his arms.
"Honey, from now on, I will be your strength, and I will never hurt you. No matter what happened, I will always be your supportive husband," Stuart kisses her on her forehead.
But she didnât dare to make any sound. She didnât want her grandpa to hear her crying.
Stuart touched her hair gently with his big hands.
"Ivan, get rid of them."
Ivan immediately accelerates the car, shaking off the car behind them.
"Now you can cry out," Stuart said.
Edie didnât struggle to press her pain. She cried out loudly.
"Stuart, I missed my mom so much. If he were not selfish and only considered for himself, my mom wouldnât die. My mom will never suffer any pain if he treated her nicely,"
Stuart didnât know how to comfort her. All he could do now was hold her tightly in his arms.
Edie cried in cars for a long time. Finally, they arrived at an amusement park.
Edie sobbed and asked, "Why....why are we here? We should go home now. Grandpa would worry about us."
"He would worry about you more if he sees your face now. Letâs spend an hour here before we went to grandpa. Cheer up and smile, my wife," Stuart wiped her tears carefully. He already ran out of two packs of facial tissues.
"My face? What happened to my face?" she touched her small face and asked.
Then she took her phone out and turned on the camera. Her eyes were swallowed badly.
No wonder she felt it hard to open her eyes.
She immediately covered her face, "why do I become so ugly? God, I donât want to see anyone. I want to be back in the car."
She turned around. But Stuart stopped her, "Donât worry, I still like you."
"What do you mean? You dare not to like me?" Edie pretended to be angry,
Her big shining eyes now were as red as rabbitsâ eyes. Though she looked embarrassing indeed, Stuart still thought she was the most beautiful one.
He couldnât help rubbing her hairs, "donât worry. Iâve already got used to it."
"Get used to it? You asshole. Am I ugly? I am gorgeous, donât you see? My beauty has been tested by time." Edie felt wronged.
Edie was pretty, indeed. But compared with Stuart, she looked normal.
When the couple entered the park, everyone, from five-year-old to eighty-year-old grandma, was attracted by Stuartâs beauty.
Edie knew this. But she didnât want to acknowledge it. "See, everyone is looking at me."
Stuart was amused.
"Okay, letâs go in. Ivan already bought the ticket."
"No. I am a grown woman. Stop. I have a fear of heights. Stop."
Edie wanted to turn back. But Stuart already dragged her in.
