Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Overwhelming Feelings
The restaurant they went to was unique. It used a membership system, and if you come with a membership, you could order anything. Stuart didn’t even make an appointment. He just showed his card, and the waiter immediately took them to a private room.
They ordered some dishes, and they were served immediately. Edie was really hungry, so she was served first. She ordered a steak.
Stuart took a sip of red wine, and his original rosy thin lips were reflected in the warm yellow chandelier, which seemed to be more enchanting. Edie glanced at the Stuart inadvertently and suddenly felt the steak a little uneasy to swallow.
Stuart was keenly aware that she was looking at him, he slowed down and immediately asked, "What, does it not taste good?" Edie quickly shook her head and swallowed it. Suddenly she had the overwhelming feeling of guilt.
Stuart treated her so well, how could she lie to him? Edie thought about it and spoke in a soft voice, "I went to see Donald Lynch today." Stuart put down the glass and stared at her, and he was waiting for her to say something else.
"He is sick, and it was severe. I went to see him and left. I have not done anything wrong. I just wanted you to know."
It was strange. She was not obliged to explain, but she did not want him to misunderstand the situation. She wasn’t sure what he felt; all she could see was a pair of deer-like eyes that unconsciously blinked.
Stuart raised his head and saw her watery eyes. He couldn’t help it, but he slightly lifted his lips, and he looked like he was in a good mood.
"Well, I have to be honest with you. I already knew about it." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
She never expected Stuart to understand so quickly, and finally, Edie felt relaxed after telling him the truth. Stuart wasn’t finished; he had something else to say, "But I won’t let you see each other alone in the future."
The smile that was on her face froze. He was such an overbearing man! Her heart was caught in such a ripple of emotion, but she didn’t dare show him. She just nodded innocently.
After going over in her mind what Stuart said, she understood his intentions and felt a lot better. When she was done eating, Edie said, "I have to go to the ladies’ room." She wanted to go and check her makeup.
She was almost there, and suddenly she heard a sneer behind her. "Hey, this restaurant wants to close. They must be suffering from a severe deficit because they are serving Edie Lara."
Edie turned around and saw Miss Greg’s glamorous and beautiful brand-name suit, with her delicate makeup, carrying a limited bag of Prada on her arm. She always had to dress her best. Her hands clasped her chest, and she rolled her eyes.
Next, Victoria Greg’s girlfriend, Polly Hill, said, "Hey, don’t be angry with this kind of person. She is not worthy. Let’s just go and eat somewhere else."
Edie was getting annoyed when she saw how they were behaving. They said coldly: "Even if you are served, the food in the restaurant will not taste very good because we have to look at her ugly face."
Victoria’s face changed, and she was starting to get angry. Edie wasn’t saying anything, just looking at them with a smile. Victoria suddenly started to mock her, "Forget it, I don’t care about people like you. I am really sorry for you. Edie, are you too lazy to respond. You have nothing to say?"
She just didn’t speak to them, and she moved her eyes away. They were just about ready to go. Then Victoria had to get one last word in, "A boyfriend who lasted for five years dumped you. Some people think they have to be with a rich guy. Then she dares to confront our family. As it turns out, he is getting married to Joanna. The relationship of so many years is really inferior to a dog."
Victoria was a vicious person. When he speaks, she will poke at the heart of anyone. "Victoria, you have been staying abroad for a few years, and you have spent a lot of money. How come you can never speak with dignity?"
Edie was not at all afraid of Victoria. She had always looked down at the Greg family because of how they treated her. Now that she was older, she seemed to have more tolerance for Victoria. She has always been insatiable, and Edie didn’t mind teaching her a lesson.
Instantly Victoria got angry. She stepped forward and said, "Edie, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this."
Edie pretended to be surprised, "I am a human, how can I be something, it seemed that Miss Greg is a thing, she wants to treat everyone as something."
When Edie lived with Greg’s, she didn’t dare talk to anyone like this. So, Victoria never expected Edie to ever speak to her like this.
Victoria was going crazy, "Edie, don’t you forget who you are! You are an illegitimate daughter of the family. You really think that you are the daughter of Greg’s. Don’t you dare think that you are a star with a little bit of fame? If I tell anyone who you really are, they will only look down on you."
As soon as she involved her mother, Edie’s expression changed from calm to extremely cold. "Stanley Greg cannot take care of himself. Mrs. Greg cannot take care of her husband. He came and flirted with my mother and then abandoned her. This kind of man is a shameful person. You actually threaten me, Victoria, you really have no brain."
"you!" freewebnoveℓ.com
Victoria was angry, but Edie was very reasonable, and she could not refute even a word. At this point, a waiter came over and said with respect, "Hello, your husband told me to tell you. He went downstairs to drive the car around, and as soon as you are ready, he will be waiting."
Edie nodded, "Well, thank you."
However, Victoria was utterly surprised. Edie got married, why didn’t she know?
"Edie, are you married?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Edie did not intend to continue to argue with her; she turned around and started to leave. Victoria knew Edie’s big secret. Seeing that she wanted to go, she rushed in front of her.
"Edie, don’t you love Donald Lynch? I asked my father to help you a year ago and asked him to talk to Donald. Actually, I found that you were too bitchy and not marriage material. You really have no good taste! You married a man who was a waste. He drives his own car, really?"
Edie’s eyes were like the ancient wells without waves, and all Victoria wanted to do is harass her, and Edie wasn’t putting up with it any longer.
"Victoria, please get out of the way. You are standing right in front of me. Have you heard that good dogs are not in the way? Are you a bad dog?"
This sentence was absolutely perfect, and Edi had made her a good dog if she got out of the way, but a bad dog would not move. She cannot get anything good doing it by herself. Victoria bites his teeth, and she can’t wait to step on the floor with her high heel shoes.
"Okay, you are so popular now, and you are bullying me. I will tell my father and let him teach you a lesson! Don’t think that you can do anything when you are not at home. In three days, it is Grandpa’s birthday. Come back if you are brave enough."
Edie has long remembered Grandpa’s birthday, but because of her embarrassing identity, she didn’t know if she should go back home. Now Victoria said this, although it was a radical approach, it is also provoked, Edie.
"I will go back to see him. It is my grandfather’s birthday. As for you, you can say anything to Stanley Greg?"
After that, Edie ignored Victoria and turned around and left.
