Free Web NovelChapter 147: Chapter 147: Meeting Aaron
"If it turns out that his sexual orientation is indeed abnormal, the family can’t allow him to continue to inherit the group industry, and Childe will certainly replace him. At this time, an heir without rights, do you think there will be a positive result?"
Aaron’s words came from the receiver, and Edie couldn’t help but feel confused. Although Stuart had been angry with her and kissed her hard, she still remembered what Stuart had done to her. She did not want anything to happen to him.
Stuart was born a king, and he would suffer so much if he did not get his inheritance. "Stuart never said that to me. I only knew I had to pretend to be his wife, but I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know anything about his family. Maybe he doesn’t trust me?"
"It’s because he cares about you. He didn’t want you to know about his complicated life, and he didn’t want you to get involved. That’s the character of Stuart and the way he protects someone that he cares about. He deliberately conceals everything and does it all to protect you."
When Edie heard this, she squeezed her phone, and her heart trembled uncontrollably. She knew he was right, and Stuart was the heir like Aaron said. Just like what happened last time, he was only helping her. Even if he was misunderstood by her, he would not explain himself to her.
"However, Stuart is disappointed with me, and I don’t know if he will continue to fulfill our contract." Edie sighed at the thought of Stuart’s attitude before he left. freewёbnoνel.com
"What’s the matter? What’s going on?" Aaron knew something immediately must have happened.
"He said he could kill me, and I don’t know if he really wanted to kill me, he was furious with me this evening."
"He said he wanted to kill you? Instead of being surprised, Aaron smiled and said, "Did he really say that?"
Edie wasn’t impressed with Aaron. It wasn’t funny. She was confused, "Why are you laughing?"
"You still don’t know Stuart very well. He’s not a softhearted man. He could have done something about killing people, but he would never have said it. More precisely, he doesn’t express his emotions at all, and he’s like an iceberg. He isolates himself from everyone. So when he said that to you, he was actually showing his emotions for the first time in his life."
What Aaron meant was that Stuart was angry with her because she was in his heart? She thought of the cold shadow of his departure. He looked like a lonely monarch, and he had always kept to himself, and that was the reason that no one ever really understood him.
Stuart was always too powerful and influential to be looked up to, but always forget that he was also a man full of feelings. His life was so monotonous. He was always busy; the company’s business was complex. He did things that the average person couldn’t do with the enormous pressure, but for her, he had dutifully done an excellent job in the role of a good husband. As long as she was in Villa, he would try to come back to accompany her to dinner, even after the meal, he also needed to work overtime late into the night in his study.
Stuart, what kind of man was he, and why would he not confide in her? There was never a moment when Edie wanted to know more about Stuart than she did right now. She tried to get into his mind.
Edie’s mind was full of thoughts. She wanted to cry, but she was frustrated by the hurtful things she had just said to Stuart, "But Aaron, I said something too extreme to him. I’m afraid Stuart won’t forgive me."
"No, you go back and apologize to him. Oh, he likes to drink Ceylon tea when he is in a bad mood." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Edie repeatedly nodded, "Okay, I see."
Then she hung up. Edie gritted her teeth. She was bound to find Stuart and solemnly apologize to him. After hearing what Aaron had said, she realized how ignorant and shallow she was. Stuart kept out so many troubles for her, but she never tried to understand him.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have quarreled with him, and she would have kept her mind closed off and had good communication with Stuart. As the necklace was taken by Donald, she couldn’t get it now. So she didn’t want to think about it and left the Beck Mansion in a hurry. She got in the car and went back to the Villa.
Once inside, Edie found the atmosphere of the Villa somewhat unusual. There was no sound in the whole place, and the servants did their work quietly, with a cautious air, only to bend over and salute Edie as she entered.
"What’s wrong?" Edie asked Mr. Sampson doubtfully. He went over to Edie and lowered his voice, "The young master is back, and he is in a bad mood." Edie understood that Stuart was furious with her.
She asked Mr. Sampson directly, "Do we still have Ceylon tea in the Villa?" He didn’t expect Edie to ask about this, and he suddenly gave her a strange look.
"Mrs. Yates wants a drink?" Edie shook her head, "No, I’m going to give it to Stuart." He led Edie into the kitchen. "Mrs. Yates, come with me, please."
In the kitchen, Mr. Sampson took out a beautiful European ceramic teapot from the top of the cabinet. "This is Ceylon tea from the best tea plantation of Sri Lanka," he told Edie. "Why do you suddenly want this tea?"
Edie was immediately embarrassed, "I actually upset Stuart this evening. I heard he liked to drink Ceylon tea when he was upset, so it is my way of apologizing to him."
"In fact, it was Milord, not Master, that loved the Ceylon tea. It was always his favorite." Speaking of Milord, Mr. Sampson had a wistful look on his face. Edie was shocked, "Milord? Is that Stuart’s father?"
He nodded, "Yes, Milord was a very good man. He was a role model for the Master, but he died too early. Master was only eight years old, he was taking courses in the aristocracy in Europe, and he didn’t even come back to England to see Milord before he passed away. This was a very psychological blow to Master."
It was all something Edie didn’t know before. It was amazing. Edie covered her mouth and didn’t exclaim. How sad it would be for an eight-year-old boy to lose his father.
