Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Meeting Aaron
Mr. Sampson continued, "Yes, Master likes to drink Ceylon tea whenever he’s in a bad mood, and I suspect that he’s unconsciously mimicking milord’s habit by honoring him with this act."
Edie was so heartbroken, and a tear trickled down her cheek. A jolt of sadness ran through her, and she could hardly breathe. She always felt miserable about her life because when her mother died, she was only twelve years old, but at least she was a little older and had more time to spend with her. Stuart lost his beloved father at the age of eight and had to face pressure from all sides of the family.
He grew up quickly and didn’t have a chance to enjoy his childhood. Edie felt so much grief for the helpless little boy. The more she found out about Stuart, the more she understood Stuart’s cold nature. "Mr. Sampson, please teach me how to make tea. I want to apologize to Stuart," Edie asked. There was so much compassion in her voice that relief flickered in Mr. Sampson’s eyes. He nodded, "Okay."
To ensure sincerity, Mr. Sampson was very precise. Edie did all the steps by herself. It took a long time to make a perfect pot of Ceylon tea. Edie put the ceramic teapot and teacup on the tray and carried them upstairs to Stuart’s study.
The room seemed to be very quiet, and she could hear no movement inside. Edie knocked intensely on the door and said, "Hello, Stuart, are you in there? I made you some tea." There was still no sound coming from the inside. Mr. Sampson had not told her that Stuart had gone straight to his study as soon as he got home, so she knew he was inside.
Edie bit her lower lip, and you could see the determination and frustration on her face. She knocked again, and the adrenaline made her heart quicken. "I know how busy you are, and I will wait for you outside the door."
She knew he wasn’t going to let her in, so she decided that no matter how long it takes, she was going to wait for him to open the door. She didn’t believe he would stay there all night! It was starting to get very dark outside, and the time seemed to slip away. She could feel herself getting tired, and she finally closed her eyes.
Todd and Stuart were in a video meeting talking about his work. Todd could see the expression on Stuart’s face, and he looked at his watch and raised his head in doubt, "It’s twelve o’clock in the morning, isn’t it? You don’t need to go see your little wife?"
Stuart didn’t look up, "Have you thought about the contract? Or do you think the profit to Anderson Jewelry is too high, and I can cut it by three percent?"
Although Stuart had no expression on his face, a strange emotion flashed through his mind. There was a pause in his writing which could not be seen on the camera. There was no sound outside now, and it was getting late. She must have gone back to her room, he thought to himself.
"I know you, Stuart, so I know when you are upset. You call me, then you explode for no reason, and then you threaten to take the profit away from me. You haven’t returned my calls in two days, and then you decide to call me now."
Todd folded his arms and leaned back in his chair, laughing at Stuart. He had known Stuart for more than twenty years, and even though he wasn’t his brother, he was a real brother to him. He had a deep understanding of his character and didn’t care about Stuart’s threat. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Stuart told Todd that Edie went to see a movie, and Stuart told Todd that he would call Edie before he went to bed.
"Let me guess, and you can’t hide your happiness whenever I mention your wife. Your face always lights up whenever you hear her name. Now you’re a big iceberg again. Did you have an argument with her?"
Stuart instantly threw his papers on the table, and his dark eyes were unusually somber, "You talk too much." Seeing Stuart like this, most people would say sorry. Todd, who grew up with him, smiled proudly, "Okay, it’s getting late. It’s time for you to go and find your beauty, or you will get even more angry with me. I just have to say that I’m getting more interested in Edie. I don’t understand how she can control your heart? No one has ever been able to do this before."
Todd didn’t have a chance to finish, and Stuart shut off the video call. The only sound in the room was now shut off by Stuart, and the room was eerily quiet. Stuart looked at his computer, and he almost felt that he was going to lose his mind.
It was getting close to one o’clock in the morning, and he was starting to get tired. Stuart closed his eyes, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Edie’s beautiful face. The way she laughed and the way she cried. Then he remembered how upset they were each other and all the hurtful words that were said.
He was starting to get agitated and annoyed and slowly opened his eyes. He was apparently angry with her, but he couldn’t stop thinking about her and thinking about what she wanted. Stuart felt that he probably really owed her. He took out his phone and sent a text message.
"The Sea of stars necklace that was suddenly not up for sale must be bought at all costs."
When the text message was sent, Stuart felt his anger dissipate. He sorted through his documents and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of wine to clear his head. He opened the door of the study and stepped out. He saw a small figure, asleep curled up in the corner of the wall. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Edie was still in her thin dress, and she looked cold, huddled on the floor. The Ceylon tea tray was lying on the floor and was also cold. Had she been waiting here all night? As the thought flashed through Stuart’s mind, he was in so much pain. He crouched down beside her and watched her as she slept.
She looked very uncomfortable lying on the floor. There were deep lines on her forehead, and she seemed to be having a dream. Seeing how tired she looked, he frowned and said in a low voice, "Why did you make me so angry, and why would you say such hurtful things?"
Seeing that she had been waiting outside the door for so long, his anger had dissipated. As upset as he was with her, he could not stay angry at her. No matter what she said or did every time he looked at her, his anger would instantly be extinguished. That was the charm of Edie. There was nothing he could do.
