Aaron pulled those men away and walked to the office. He doesnât care if Stuartâs men will kill him.
"Getaway. Stuart. You bastard." Aaron roared at him angrily.
"What the hell are you doing to Edie?" He screamed outside Stuartâs office to let him know how angry he was when he learned that Edie had suffered under his care.
Aaron already knew what Stuartâs done. Stuart dared to hurt the woman he protected with his own life. Aaron gave up that girl because he trusted Stuart. He didnât expect Stuart dared to hurt this woman badly.
He should teach Stuart a lesson. He couldnât accept any reason from him anymore. He canât let Stuart hurt Edie furthermore.
Stuart opened the door and stood in front of Aaron.
"What are you doing here?" Stuart asked, though he already knew the answer. He manages to remain calm.
Except for William, no one knew he forgot anything, even Ivan and Mr. Bates didnât know that he just pretended to have lost his memory.
Aaron made a twisted smile. Deep in his eyes were dark stares full of resentment against his brother.
"So, you really forget her." He mocked him.
"You mean Edie?" Stuart asked.
"Yes. Edie, the woman I let go because I thought you would take care of and protect her," His eyes even grew darker, ready to fight his brother.
Aaron kept smiling. He stood up and walked to Stuart.
Then he stopped smiling and caught Stuartâs collar, "youâve made a great sacrifice to save her. Youâve loved her so deeply. And now you really forget her. You are such.... you are such a bastard. A total jerk!"
He poked Stuartâs with his sharp fingers hardly and provoked him to a fight.
Aaron suspected that Stuart already died. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to forget her. How could this man in front of him boldly said he forgot about the woman he loved most.
"What are you talking about? I donât remember anything about her. Donât waste your time here." Stuart said in a cold voice.
"All you care about now is Hicks, right?" Aaron asked coldly.
"Yes. After all, she is the woman I remember as a lover,"
Aaron looked at him, indifferently. He looked so extremely angry at Stuartâs calm face.
Now all Stuart cared about was Hicks. A wave of sudden anger came.
Aaron made a ridiculous smile.
Though he was smiling, he looked terrifying.
He squinted, and then...
He punched Stuart, hard. He hit him several times until Stuart spat blood.
If he didnât hold Stuartâs collar, Stuart might already fall on the ground.
Stuartâs face was covered with red swelling and bruises.
Aaronâs finger accidentally cut the corners of his mouth.
Bleeding oozed out from his mouth. He never fights him back and lets his anger release against him.
Despite several bruises, Stuart still looked calm.
"You can hit me for her. Though I donât remember her, I know I owe her something. I wanted you to hit me severely so I could pay what I owed to her,"
Bullshit! Stuart, didnât I tell you last time to take care of her? Didnât I tell you last time that I accepted defeat because I saw she loved you? Why? Why did you hurt her?" Aaron yelled at him.
Stuart didnât answer. He upset her these days, deeply. He deserved this.
He couldnât make up for her. If Aaron could hit him for her, he accepted it.
At least, he could feel the pain, mentally and physically.
He was willing to bear this for her. So he didnât fight back.
Aaron laughed, "You owe her? But you remember nothing. I do this for me, not her. I love her. I also love her. But you love her more. So I gave up. If I knew you would be such a bastard, I would never give up. I wonât hit you for Edie. You owe her too much. You would never be able to make up for her."
"Since that, all you care about now is Hicks. We can talk about her. Stuart, you are quite clever. Are you sure that this woman is still the woman you loved?"
"What do you mean?" Stuart frowned.
"I can tell you the truth. Then youâll know what kind of woman she is. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? Do you still remember why I threw her in the ocean?"
"Because she begged me to help her."
Aaron told Stuart word by word.
Stuartâs beautiful eyes turned cold immediately.
It has been two oâclock in the afternoon when he walked out of the company. Sunlight in autumn was warm. He liked the warmth. It made him feel alive.
"Where are you going to go, Mr. Yates?" the driver asked him.
"Stuartâs flat. I want to visit my old friend."
"Important friend?"
The driver saw the smile on his face. Out of curiosity, he asked. But he immediately realized it was improper.
But Aaron didnât get angry,
"Yes. Quite important. And interesting."
Edie was an interesting girl. He liked her.
Itâs been quite a long time since he saw her last time.
She insisted on Donald for a whole year. Sheâs experienced everything. If Donald didnât get married to Joanna, she might still chase after her. It was impossible for her to fall in love with anyone else.
She wouldnât give up, as long as Stuart didnât get married to Hicks.
She wanted to kill time. So she took the garden scissors and went into the greenhouse flower house in the garden.
Hicks followed her.
"Edie, when could you move out of Stuartâs room?" Hicks sounded anxious. She couldnât stand Edie walking out of Stuartâs room every morning.
Everything in Stuartâs bedroom was Edieâs.
Though she believed Stuart, she didnât believe Edie. Edie might do something to Stuart when the man fell asleep.
"After we divorce."
Edie replied without throwing her eyes.
"After your divorce? What if you still live here? Edie, Iâve already run out of my patience. I kept cooperating with you these days. Donât push ahead."
"I donât need you to cooperate with me," Edie made a provoking smile. Standing beside those roses, she looked gorgeous.
