You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: I Won’t Let You Go

Stuart wanted Edie to wait before she went to take a bath as he wanted to sit and talk with her. She never expected that she would be in the tub for such a long time. After hesitating, Stuart knocked on the door, "Edie?" He called out. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

It was quiet inside. Edie had fallen asleep from exhaustion. She never expected that in her seeing Donald, the events of the day would be so traumatic. Stuart knocked again and still no answer, he didn’t hesitate this time and immediately opened the door.

The room was empty, and he could see that the bathroom lights were on. He walked over to the bathroom door and opened it. There he saw her lying against the tub with her eyes closed. Stuart’s eyes were no longer cold, but every muscle of his face was now quivering with nervous excitement.

Edie had been in the water for so long that now the water was cold. Stuart was a little worried that she might catch a cold. He bent over and gently picked her up. Her smooth skin and her body without clothes sent a thrill of excitement through his body. His cheeks were flushed with pleasure as he admired her beauty.

He reached out and took a bath towel from the side. He dried the water on Edie’s body, and then he wrapped her up. As he was drying her off, he noticed the bruise on her wrist and his eyes suddenly widened.

He could see the shape of the fingers embedded in her wrist, and it was evident that someone had used force. He was thinking about when Edie had gotten home and how absent-minded she was.

She must have encountered something this afternoon!

Stuart almost wanted to wake up Edie and ask her what happened, but seeing her so relaxed and in such a deep sleep, he didn’t want to wake her up. There was an expression of regretful sympathy on his face. Edie seemed to be aware of Stuart looking at her. She made a noise and then slowly opened her eyes.

After waking up, she wasn’t completely alert. She didn’t know if this was reality or a dream. She saw Stuart’s face, and it was so close to her, and she whispered, "Stuart, is that you?"

"Yes," Stuart answered. When she heard his voice, Edie knew that it was not a dream. She noticed the movements of his hands. He had put her nightgown on. Wait, she thought. Was she not in the bath? Was it Stuart who took her out? She was naked, and now she was dressed. There was no one else there, but him and her. So it was Stuart.

As she stared at Stuart, she felt a little embarrassed as she thought about it. Stuart saw her expression, he smiled, and he whispered, "You are awake, are you okay?"

"Did I fall asleep?"

"You like to sleep in the bathtub, do you? Would you like to change the bathtub into your bed?" freewebnσvel.cøm

She thought she was dreaming, and Stuart was already ridiculing her. Edie was not taken away by him, but she asked, "Why didn’t you knock on the door of my room!" Stuart looked at her wrist, "How do you know that I didn’t knock on your door? I did, and you didn’t hear it?"

Edie had nothing to say, but when he looked down at her nightgown, she suddenly got angry. "No! It’s not your room, and you shouldn’t be coming in without my permission. You could have woken me up before you entered. Why did you change my clothes, so you could see me naked?"

"Is there anything worthy for me to see?" Stuart asked coldly. Edie was speechless, he had seen her naked and that was all he had to say, then she remembered that he was gay. Stuart’s eyes moved to her wrist, and he saw the bruises. His eyes became cold, and he asked, "What happened?"

Edie didn’t know what he was referring to and moved her eyes towards his gaze. Only then did she find that the bruise on her wrist was seen by Stuart. She quickly moved her hand and hid it behind her back.

"Oh, it’s nothing, I just accidentally hurt myself."

"I’m not an idiot. I see the marks, how did they get there?"

The sound of Stuart was cold, and his voice was telling Edie that she should not lie to him. Under his gaze, Edie did not dare to look at him. Edie bit her lower lip, as though she had something to hide.

She didn’t want Stuart to know about her past events. Although Stuart had always trusted her, she was not sure that he would believe her. Edie slowly said, "Today, I met Donald, and the injury on my wrist is because of him."

When he heard the name Donald, Stuart became very agitated, "He actually tried to hurt you? Why would he do this?" You could hear the anger in his voice.

"He didn’t mean to hurt me," Edie didn’t want to speak for Donald. She just wanted to explain. "I think his mental condition is a bit unstable. When I saw him this afternoon, he was asking me all kinds of questions. He asked me if we had a relationship for five years."

"He remembered it?"

"I don’t know... he seems to have some vague memories. I don’t think he remembers it all, just bits and pieces of his memory seem to be coming back."

The room was completely silent. Stuart was thinking about something. After a while, he finally asked, "If he remembers your past, will you go back to him?" Edie’s eyes widened in surprise and said, "Of course not, why would you think of such a thing?"

Stuart lifted his head in surprise. He remembered watching the video provided by Victoria, and he knew how much Edie had loved Donald before. She did not hesitate to kneel down to Stanley Greg, begging for him to help her.

How can such feelings be erased so easily? The reason why Edie stayed with him was the necklace and the memory of Donald. If one day, these two conditions are no longer valid, he was not sure that Edie would still be with him.

"I know how much you used to love him."

Edie shook her head gently, "It’s all in the past; I have already let go and moved on." Stuart did not feel relieved because of what she said, and he had to think it through. Since he wanted her, he would have to fight harder.

The same was true in business. No one will take the initiative to deliver the profits to your hands. You can only use your effort to get it yourself. Stuart could feel the darkness surrounding his heart. He stared at Edie and wanted her to really know exactly how he felt, but he could only remain silent.

Edie opened her mouth and wanted to say something. Stuart had already bent down and gently gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Don’t think about it. I will take care of it, sleep, and don’t worry good night."
