Donald looked more handsome, cleaner, and younger today.
Edie felt quite safe beside her.
He never talked so much before. Edie listened to him and ate the fruits he gave her. She just spends a little time with him to soothe his emotion. Edie still has big respect for him despite their bad ending.
But actually, she didnāt hear what Donald said.
Her heartās flown to England. Her mind was filled with Stuart images at this moment. She was worried about his condition.
Donald finally stopped. Edie rubbed her flat stomach and smiled, "I should use the washing room. See you later."
"I could go with you," He stood up. Edie rolled her eyes, "I am just pregnant, not mentally injured. You can stay here. Donāt worry. I can take care of myself,"
Hearing Edieās sweet joking, Donald also laughed,
In his eyes, she was always a little girlāthe woman who loved her for five years, yet he ignored her.
"Okay. I would wait here. Be careful." He said and waved his hand to let her continue her way to the washroom.
Edie nodded and left happily.
She was still looking forward to seeing Stuart. Every cell in her body was exciting. She thinks that her husband will be happy when he learns that they will soon be parents.
When walking out of the washing room, Edie saw a familiar figure.
A tall man, in a customized black suit, delicate and elegant, indifferent, and proud.
He put his hands in his pocket. On his waist was a Swiss watch.
Stuart...
Yes! He comes here? Her heart beats rapidly.
She walked to him, trembling. She didnāt dare to make any sound. She was afraid that he was frightened and disappeared.
When she touched his suit, the feeling proved to her it was not her dream. He was really here. It was her husband.
She hugged him behind, tightly and said with excitement,
"Stuart, I miss you so much. I miss you so much, "Her voice was filled with happiness while embracing her husband from behind.
The man froze immediately. He didnāt move for a few seconds.
He buckled her arms and got them away.
Then, he turned around, staring at her coldly and giving her a strange look.
He clenched her arms and asked, "who are you?"
He asked the question so seriously. He showed no sign that he knew the woman who had suddenly approached and hugged him.
Edie froze. She thought there might be something wrong with her ears.
What happened to Stuart? Why did he ask this question?
Was he Stuart? Or just a stranger who looks like Stuart? She was confused while looking at him. Did he forget her, or is he a different person that resembles her husband?
"Are you Stuart?" She asked the man, cautiously.
The man loosened her hands and stepped backward to make a distance with her, "I am Stuart. But who are you? Do I know you?"
"Iām Edie. Donāt you know me?" She asked and almost broke into tears.
"I donāt know you. Look, I honestly donāt know who you are,"
He answered casually. And he looks at her in disdain.
At the moment, Edie heard a girlās voice.
"Stuart, please, donāt wait for me here at the door of the ladyās room. Others would laugh at you."
It sounded really familiar to Edie. Edieās heart missed a beat. She turned around slowlyāsomeone who she doesnāt expect to be seen at this moment.
Hicks.
Sheās changed her dressing style. The woman in front of Edie looked gorgeous and elegant, like the queen of victory. How come she suddenly appeared together with her husband? This question lingered Edieās confused mind.
She walked to her slowly.
The sound of her high heel stepping on the ground, like thunder, shocked Edie. There must be something wrong about the situation.
What ...What happened? Was she dreaming? Was she still sleeping?
The woman walked to Stuart, placing her hands on his shoulder and smiling at him sweetly.
"Letās go."
Stuart never moved his eyes from Hicks.
Edie could see the smile in his eyes. A sudden pang of pain came across at Edieās heart.
When Hicks walked to him, he surrounded her waist naturally and left.,
Without even throwing an eye on Edie.
It took quite a while for Edie to realize what happened.
She ran to them and grabbed Stuartās clothes, "Stop. Tell me what happened. Why do you stay with her?"
Stuart stopped and turned around. He frowned.
Hicks immediately saw the anger on his face. She also worried Edie would say anything bad for her. She immediately pulled Edie away.
Edie focused on Stuart so much that she almost neglected Hickās movement. She was pushed backward.
The ground at the ladyās room was slippery. Edie almost fell down.
Luckily, Donald arrived on time.
He held Edie in his arms timely.
"Edie, be careful."
Hicks turned towards Stuart. The man still fixed his eyes on her, "Are you all right?"
"Fine," she said with great joy. Her heart was beating fast.
Though Stuart had been with her for more than ten days, she still felt insecure. All these looked like a dream. She was too immersed in happiness.
She finally got Stuart.
"You donāt need to care about these girls. "
He said indifferently and held her hands, leaving.
"Stuart..."
Edie yelled out. She wanted to chase him. But Donald moved in advance. He caught Stuartās arm directly.
"Whatās wrong with you? Why do you stay with this woman?"
"Donald?" Stuart squinted as if it was the first time for him to meet with him.
Donald got confused.
He felt something wrong.
But he didnāt have time to think about it. He wanted Hicks to apologize to Edie.
"Stuart, I donāt allow others to hurt Edie. Hicks, please apologize to Edie."
Donald said seriously.
Hicks looked frightened. She hid herself behind Stuart,
"Stuart..."
"Sheās my girl. She doesnāt need to apologize to anyone."
Stuart clenched Donaldās arms and said in a cold voice.
His girl...
What did he mean?
Edie almost broke down.
