Edie was shocked by Aaronâs roaring. She woke up.
She realized what she did just now.
She loosened Hicksâs neck and stepped back, holding her head painfully.
"I... I donât know. I donât know what I am doing right now. My head keeps aching....it is painful..."
She struggled to get that crazy idea out of her mind.
Aaron also got hurt. To save her, he threw himself into the danger.
But Stuart left. He was the one that never cared about her life. Why could she suspect the man that saved her life?
Edie was driven crazy by Stuart and herself.
Seeing this, Hicks felt happy, and she wanted her to get worse,
"Edie, if anything happened to Stuart, you would be blamed for a life. You can do nothing but become his obstacle. I wish you can die now."
"Shut up. I didnât do anything to him. It was him that kept hurting me. It was that man that abandoned me. I didnât do anything wrong."
Edie roared painfully. Tears fell down from her face. Her face turned paler. It looked frightening.
Hicks sneered and said word by word, "No matter what, others would believe you are that one that causes this, just to get married to his brother. In their eyes, you are a slut mistress. You are a vicious woman cooperating with another man to scheme your husband."
This time, before Edie answered, Aaron couldnât put up with these words.
He walked to Hicks and choked her necks with one hand.
"Do you want me to kill you now?"
Aaron said word by word. His voice sounded so scary.
The smile disappeared from his face. Only hatred and brutality remained.
He lifted his hands. Hicks blushed. She widened her eyes. Her eyes turned so big that it seemed those eyes would pop out next second.
She struggled and kept scratching Aaronâs hands back. Aaronâs hands were bleeding. But he looked relaxing as if he couldnât feel any pain. Deep in his eyes was death.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill Hicks.
It took quite a while for Edie to calm herself down and stand up.
"Let her go."
Aaron didnât listen to her.
"Aaron, let her go," Edie shouted out with all her effort.
Aaron didnât move until this moment. He loosened his hands.
Hicks, like an abandoned doll, fell on the ground. She laughed out directly,
"What? Feel guilty now? If anything happens to me, it would tell the public you are cooperating to betray Stuart."
Edie walked to Hicks slowly and lowered her body and pinched her jaw and said,
"Iâve already told you I never hurt him."
"You. You are lying."
Hicks squeezed those words out.
"All right. Since you think so, I can satisfy you. Youâd better bless that he never appeared in front of me. Otherwise, I would do whatever I can do to torture him to death."
"You..." Hicks stared at her in shock.
At that moment, Edie frightened her. She changed so suddenly.
Edie slapped her face away.
And then she stood up, "I swear I would never allow you to do anything randomly in front of me."
Her voice was clear and cold. Everyone in the kitchen could hear.
The kitchen fell into silence. Even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Edie threw an eye on the cook. The cook was too worried to move.
"Go on, cook. I still want to eat."
Anyway, sheâs come here. She needed to find the answer.
"Oh....okay. Would be ready soon."
The cook answered immediately.
Then, Edie looked towards Hicks and said indifferently, "since youâve come here, join me."
Then she walked out.
She sat on the same seat, ordered the same dish cooked by the same cook. But her attitude changed totally.
Soon, those dishes were served.
Looking at those dishes, Edie couldnât help sobbing in silence. Her eyes still looked cold.
She out her favorite meat in her mouth. Its taste was not familiar to her anymore.
Not at all.
She tried others. But no one dish tasted like those cooked by Stuart.
So, why did those dishes she ate before...
She put the chopsticks down and looked towards the fat cook.
"Cook, could you explain?"
"I donât feel well these days. So it is normal that I couldnât cook the same delicious dishes as before. I am sorry, Miss," he tried to explain,
"I never said they tasted differently. But you are right, they are indeed different," Edie said in a cold voice.
The fat cook froze. He didnât expect Edie was such a clever girl. She has already found something wrong.
He was panicking. He turned towards Aaron to ask for his help.
It was Stuart and Aaronâs plan. Now Edie found it. It was his responsibility to stand out to explain.
"Edie, we need to go home now. Donât stay here, okay?"
Aaron walked to Edie, wanting to hold her hands. But she didnât move.
"You are lying to me, right? Tell me who cooked these dishes. I think you need to give me an explanation,"
She didnât turn around to look at Aaron. Her sound remained cold and tough.
Aaronâs heart trembled. Finally, he sighed, "yes. You are right. Do you feel satisfied?"
She was right...
So it was Stuart that cooked for her those days.
The man she saw that day was Stuart
But he has forgotten her, hasnât he? Why did he still cook for her?
She could only conclude one conclusion.
He remembered her. But why didnât she tell her?
Edie was in a mass. She got completely confused.
As lots of theories came into Edieâs mind, she almost broke down.
Finally, Edie took a deep breath, "Okay, I get that. I donât have to know why. I donât care whether he remembered me or nor. Whatever."
Edie stood up and left. Her back looked so lonely and isolated.
Hicks followed her. She was shocked by Edieâs words, "Edie, what the hell do you mean? He remembers you. How could it be possible? What the hell are you talking about?"
But no one answered her.
