After Stuart left, the house looked so empty.
Edie walked into the kitchen. She wanted to make some cookies. At the moment, someone rang the doorbell.
She walked to the door and opened it.
It was Cecil.
"Pretty girl."
The little boy was so excited. After she left A for England with Aaron, his father took him away. Now Edie came back, and his father immediately realized what his son wanted to do. Before Cecil said, his father already took him here.
Cecilās father really understood him.
"Wow, who brought you here?" Edie was also so excited. She let him in. She thought Arther must come here with him. But she didnāt see anyone else. She was a little puzzled, "Whereās Arther?"
"Arther? Her parents took him home. He could no longer ask me to do anything. So happy."
It was so happy for Cecil to get rid of Artherās control.
"How did you come here?"
"My father led me here. He had something to deal with in A. Now he parks the car outside. He comes to pick you up."
"Pick me up?" Edie couldnāt understand what Cecil meant.
Cecilās father was Stuartās uncle. So he was also her uncle.
"Exactly. My father told me that youāve been married to Stuart for a long time. But heās always sick. So he hadnāt made time to visit you. Now heās arrived in A. he wants to take a visit to you. He also took the present."
Cecil sniffed. His eyes became brighter, "Edie, what have you made? Smells so good. I am starving. I want to eat something."
"Cookies. Two tastes, green tea, and butter. They are almost done. Wait for a moment." Edie said.
"Wow. So happy," Cecil rubbed his hands together. His eyes were shining. He walked into the kitchen with Edie.
When Edie took those cookies out of the oven, the little boy immediately got one with a pair of chopsticks.
It was so hot that he screamed out. But it was also really delicious.
"Since your father is waiting for me outside, I need to stop now. Take these cookies. You can enjoy them in the car."
"No. Not enough. You can bake them all. My father can wait outside. He would mind."
Compared with his father, delicious cookies were much more important and attractive for Cecil. This little boy was such a foodie.
"No. We couldnāt let your father wait for a long time. Come on," Edie put those cookies in a jar and put the jar into Cecilās arms. Then, she dragged his outsides.
She called Stuart. But no one answered the phone. She thought he might be busy. So she sent him a text.
Stuart must know his uncle already arrived in A.
Outside the house, parked a black lengthened Bentley.
When the door was opened, Edie saw Cecilās father.
The room was spacious inside the car. It allowed two men sitting face to face with a small desk in the middle. On the desk was Cecilās snacks.
The man in front of Edie looked much younger than Edieās imagined. He was the vice presidentās brother. He must be more than fifty years old. Cecil was five years old. Stuart was twenty-seven years old. Stuart was twenty-two years older than Cecil. Apparently, he got married much later than his sister.
From Cecilās description, Edie could infer that this man was a faithful man. He was born with a special condition. After falling in love one to man, he would no longer look at anybody else. No wonder he got married so late. After Cecilās mother passed away, he didnāt get married again. He didnāt even want to take care of his own son.
Indeed, he was not a good father. But without a doubt, he was a good husband or lover.
Besides, though he was already more than fifty years old, he still looked so young. He looked like a thirty-year-old man in a black suit. If he stood together with Stuart, others might believe they were brothers.
If she went out with Stuart to get their marriage certification, she could call him uncle now. But they havenāt. So she didnāt know how to call the man in front of her.
As she got stuck, the man seemed to understand what she was thinking about. He smiled, "I am your uncle. I believe....my nephew wouldnāt get married to any other girl."
"How are you, uncle?" Edie greeted him politely.
"I want to apologize for Cecilās made lots of trouble to you these days. He is such a naughty boy. But it is quite easy to ask him to behave. Donāt give him any food."
Cecil was devouring like a wolf. When hearing his fatherās words, he immediately raised his head and rolled his eyes towards his father.
Was he really his biological dad?
Cecil started suspecting.
"I donāt mind, actually. He is a good boy. Heās brought lots of fun. Iāve heard youāve been recuperating abroad these years. Are you feeling better now?"
Last time when she broke into the meeting room of the board of directors, she didnāt see him. She thought it might be quite difficult to cure him.
"Much better now, thank you for asking"
The conversation went quite well. Noble Sunny was gentle. He was good at getting well along with others.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
It was a wide field. In the middle was a personal aircraft.
Where was he going to take her? Why did they need an aircraft?
"Uncle, where are you going?"
"England," Noble showed a polite smile.
"What? But I havenāt told Stuart yet." Edie was so shocked.
"I call him now. Wait for a moment."
Noble dialed Stuartās number. Soon, he answered.
Noble started talking, "Stuart, it is me, your uncle. I am staying with Edie now. I am going to take her to England now. Agree?"
"Okay, got that."
Edie didnāt know what they were talking about. Soon Noble passed his mobile phone to her.
Edie heard Stuartās voice.
"You can go back to our uncle. I need to finish a task from the headquarters. We might need to separate for a few days. Take care of yourself," Stuart sounded so calm as if it was something normal.
"Oh, I see. Okay then, I would go back to England with my uncle. Take good care of yourself."
"I know. After I finished everything, I would pick you up. Be careful and take care of our baby," At this moment, he sounded really soft. Edie could feel his deep love for her from his voice.
"I know," Edie replied, and then she hung up.
Noble smiled and said, "Iāve discussed with Bette. If you can hold your wedding in England, you can help me take care of Cecil for several days. So I made the decision for you. I hope you donāt blame me for this."
"Thatās all right. We also want to visit the vice president in England."
Hearing that Edie would go back to England with them, Cecil was thrilled. He held his fatherās legs and asked.
"Really? Could I really live with my pretty girl? OMG, the dad, is it the present you plan to give me?"
"If he made mistakes, make it starve," Nobel told Edie without even throwing an eye on his little son. Edie burst into laughter.
Soon, they got on the airplane and arrived in England in a few hours.
It was the first time for her to walk into Cecilās home.
