The doctor sounded shocked on the other side and couldnât believe what Edie had asked her.
"Doctor," Edie kept asking.
"Yes, but you should be careful. You can try some specific gestures. I would send you photos. Make sure to be gentle when you are going to have sex with your husband,"
"Are you sure you wanna look at it? I mean, itâs too dirty," the doctor said.
It took a few seconds for Edie to answer, "Yeah. Okay, thank you very much just send it,"
Soon, the doctor sent her some photos.
Dirty, indeed. She felt embarrassed watching several photos sent by her doctor.
Then, she put the mobile phone in the pocket and walked to the reception desk, "Do....do you...do you have aphrodisiac incense?" She stutters as she blurted out this stupid idea.
"Sorry, madam. We donât sell that kind of thing." the receptionist looked frightened while looking at the beautiful woman standing next to her.
"..."
Edie didnât realize the meaning of her words until this moment.
She got that idea because Stuart and her been drugged by her husbandâs mother during their first time.
If they were sober at that moment, Stuart wouldnât be able to find the feeling. They would not end up together as a couple.
Looking at the strange face of the receptionistâs, Edie finally gave up.
"Sorry, my apology. I ...I donât want an aphrodisiac,"
Then, she left immediately.
Stuart was waiting there already. He doesnât know what took Edie long to come back.
When they entered the elevator, Stuart saw the blush on her face, "where have you been?"
"Nothing. I just felt so hot. Donât you feel?"
"No."
He pressed his lips, covering his smile. Obviously, he knew what his little wife was trying to do.
Edie hid something, so she didnât dare to look at Stuart.
They arrived on the 30th floor and opened the room. Edie looked at him with expectation,
"Do you have any impression of this room? We met here for the first time. I was drugged. Joannaâs assistant sent me here. At the moment you saw me, you fell in love with me. Then, you threw yourself to me immediately...."
Edie started talking nonsense seriously.,
Hearing these memories that never existed, Stuart frowned. He knew the truth.
Then he started looking at Edieâs body, inch by inch, seriously.
She looked more.... sexy?
"Are you sure? I am not a blind man,"
Edie immediately blushed.
"Well. Actually, you are drugged too. Mr. Bates worried that you didnât have a feeling for women."
Edie walked to the window and drew back the curtain. Sunshine fell on the ground in the room.
"Did you really forget everything? What happened on this bed?"
She asked nervously. Her heart was beating faster and faster, with expectation and caution.
Stuart looked towards the bed.
That night, he was drugged. The harder the woman struggled, the more eager he wanted to have her.
It was because of the drug when they met each other for the first time.
But after that, it was his love for her. He honestly loves his wife.
He wished to live with her forever. He wanted to see her every morning and prepared breakfast for her. He wanted to see her smile every day. That was what he wanted.
But he couldnât tell her, at least at this moment.
He knew what Edie was expecting. But the more she expected, the more disappointed she would be.
Stuartâs eyes turned dark.
He turned around and left without leaving a word.,
"Wait. Where are you going?"
She walked out of the room. Stuart was waiting for the elevator. She immediately walked towards him, "if you donât like here, we can go to another place."
"No."
He said, in a determined and cold voice,
The smile froze on her face. Edie looked at him, confusedly.
"Enough for today,"
The elevator door opened. Stuart walked in.
Stuart was still standing outside, watching the door closing.
She was not brave enough to get in with him.
She was really embarrassed at the moment.
The man in the elevator crushed on the elevator wall fiercely.
He wanted to kill himself at the moment.
Edie went back to the room alone. It was the room for their first sex. Though it sounded ridiculous, it was true.
She sat on the bed, rubbing her belly gently, "Babe, donât worry. Mommy wouldnât give up. I would restore your dadâs memory. Well-behave is okay. You are my drive force. I promise to you I wouldnât drawback this time."
She already missed Donald. Now she didnât want to miss Stuart.
She really didnât want...
She closed her eyes slowly. The sunlight spreads on her face, warming her heart.
She sat there for a long time.
After she left, Stuart walked out slowly from the corner where he hid.
***
When Edie arrived at home, Ivan kept asking questions. All Edie did was shake his head.
Then, she walked into her room. All her things were still in the bedroom. Stuart didnât ask servants to throw them away.
She was not frustrated.
She still had enough time to get her husband back.
She already checked with Mr. Bates. Stuart hasnât done anything dirty with Hicks. She took a deep relief.
Then, her phone rang. It was Betty.
"Howâs everything going?"
"Good. "She said lightly.
"Edie. You donât have to hide anything from me. I am your mother-in-law, like your mother."
Hearing this, Edie felt warm in his heart.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "thank you.... mom..."
Her voice was trembling. Betty also trembled on the other side. She burst into tears.
It was until this moment that Betty felt less guilty.
"Oh, dear. Donât be so sad. Iâve booked the flight for three days to visit you."
"Mom, you donât have to do this. Stuart was still angry with you; you donâ t have to do this for me..."
Betty interrupted her, "Donât worry. I can handle this. You are my daughter-in-law. No one can bully you. Iâve made a decision. Take care. Bye."
"But..."
Before Edie said anything, Betty already hung down the phone.
Like her son, Betty was flurry and sharp.
