Edie pursed her lips and said, "Stuart has forgotten about me. Even if you kidnap me, he will not take any action. Youāre so smart, and you wonāt do useless work."
Aaron could not help laughing when he heard the words.
"I really donāt know what to say about your girl. Since you have already guessed it, I wonāt hide it from you. Iām here to see how pitiful you are. I want to see when the silly girl is willing to let go."
Although Aaron said it jokingly, he was worried about Edie.
Itās just that he was used to saying it in a joking way, which made it difficult for Edie to identify his real intention.
"Donāt tease me. Youāve hurt Marina before. Donāt stay in city A for too long. Donāt appear in front of Stuart. Otherwise, according to your arrogant character, you will get in trouble."
"Are you worried about me?"
Aaronās heart slightly quivered, raised his eyes to look at her.
"You can guess," Edie said with a smile.
Edie was not in a good mood before. But when Aaron appeared, she was suddenly delighted.
She was in a bad situation. At a time like this, there was still someone who would help her and talk to her, and she was already very satisfied.
"What are you here for? If you want to find Stuart, go to the company. He hasnāt come back yet. If you are here to work, I wonāt disturb you... "
"Iām here for you."
Before Edie could finish her words, Aaron disrupted.
His eyes were suddenly deep, which made Edie a little confused.
Did she read a little fanaticism in his eyes?
"Youāre kidding. Iām a useless person to you, why are you here for me?" She lowered her eyes to avoid his eyes, removed the hair in front of her forehead.
"I said Iām here to see how pitiful you are!" All of a sudden, he showed his white teeth.
The atmosphere was suddenly relieved.
"Well, I was joking. Someone has offered me a high price. He hires me to comfort you and help you. Iām here to finish the task."
"Who is it?" Edie was dazed.
"The one who cares about you the most." He shrugged but refused to say it.
"Who cares most about me?" Edie thought hard and said, "Scarlett? Donald? Deputy director..."
After saying all the people, she could think of. Aaron still refused to answer; he only smiled and kept silent. His smile looked very mysterious.
"You donāt need to know who it is. The only thing you need to know is that as long as Iām here, I wonāt let anyone harm you. I havenāt eaten since I got off the plane. Go to eat with me."
Then he just took her by the hand, then dragged her on the car, and soon they came to a restaurant.
Because it was not a mealtime, there were no other guests in the restaurant. It felt like they booked the whole restaurant.
It was not the first time that she had a meal with Aaron. They used to eat together when Edie was kidnapped by him.
In fact, Edie never hated Aaron. Although he was bad, he was pitiable too.
She still remembered when he was ill, he stumbled into the box and curled up.
He always said that he would defeat Stuart, but at the critical moment, he never killed him. But next time, he would pretend to be vicious and say threatening words.
In fact, Aaron was like a child. He threatened people fiercely, but never did any harm. Edie couldnāt help laughing when she thought about this.
Aaron was educated in high etiquette. He pursued the rule of not speaking when he eats, and not speaking when he sleeps. He didnāt even make any sound of knife and fork when he cut steak. Therefore, Edieās chuckles confused him.
"What are you laughing at?" He asked.
"Are you here this time to defeat Stuart? It feels like youāre fooling around every time." She said with a smile.
Aaronās face fell in an instant.
Is this woman despising him?
"Iām very serious! Iām not fooling around!" He sounded like a kidāa raging child.
Edie saw that he was mad and nodded, "Fine, you are not fooling around, you are serious! It was my fault! Youāre 25, how come youāre still like a child, getting mad at anything anytime?"
She said the last sentence in a very low voice.
When Aaron heard the first half of the sentence, his lips were just about to curve up, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pan.
Is it because he acted too friendly, so she was not afraid of him at all? How dare her!
"I think you had forgotten about how I treated you before!" Aaron said, grumpily deliberately.
When Edie heard this, she said without thinking, "You canāt hurt me, since your brother is still here..."
As soon as the words came out, the restaurant fell into a dead silence.
Aaron obviously caught the sad look on her face when he was just about to open her mouth and change the topic. Unexpectedly, Edie immediately recovered. She smiled and said, "A friend I just met runs a gallery. Are you interested? Iām free this afternoon."
Seeing that sheās so strong, Aaron felt sorry for her.
In fact, Edie was actually very weak and often cried, but she left all her weakness to Stuart alone. Because he was her husband and her lifelong dependence, she was willing to show her weakness to Stuart.
Because she knew that Stuart would never push herself away.
Now that Stuart had changed. He forgot about Edie
Well...
She could only leave her weakness to herself.
The atmosphere was a little dull, just at this time, an untimely message alert rang.
Iāll pick you up at seven in the evening.
It was sent by Stuart.
"Whatās the matter?" Aaron perceived the delicate expression on Edieās face, sipped the red wine gracefully, and asked lightly.
"No, I will take you to the gallery after you finish." Edie smiled softly, and her bright eyes were like stars as if they could speak.
Aaron squinted and said nothing more.
