Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Past Love
Todd smiled, "I heard that Eddie likes to drink red wine. To show my sincerity, I sent my best wine in the winery from the city. You can keep it and slowly taste it."
After saying this, his eyes looked at Stuart ambiguously as though he was trying to remind him of the last experience of drinking the excellent wine. Stuart ignored him.
Eddie certainly did not know the deep meaning of the contact between the eyes. She was shocked by the amount of red wine that he had given her. The wine must have been worth at least a few million dollars. How could she receive such an expensive gift from Todd?
"This matter has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to pay for it. I..."
Eddie had wanted to express her appreciation and Stuart interrupted her, "Your sincerity has been accepted, you can go now." His tone was cold. He was annoyed that he disturbed Eddie and him. Todd rarely saw his big brother, the iceberg. How can he leave so quickly?
He said shamelessly, "Brother, I have only met Eddie once, do you not want me to talk to her anymore?" Eddie did not expect that Todd would be so charming. She was just about to say something, then suddenly there was a sound of high-heeled shoes. Since Todd had not closed the door of the ward, she walked straight in.
Queenie wore sunglasses, and her eyes were covered by them. She held a large bouquet of flowers in her hand. When she entered the ward, she looked at Eddie in the hospital bed and smiled, "Eddie, your room is so lovely."
Queenie had just finished talking and Todd, who was initially smiling, instantly disappeared. His eyes were narrow as he looked at Queenie. He was looking at her very intently, and she seemed to know that there was someone else in the room. She turned around to look and saw Todd standing in the corner.
Then the flowers in her hands fell to the floor. The sunglasses that covered her eyes made it, so no one was able to see the emotions on her face. Eddie could sense her panic, and she could not hide in her voice, "Eddie, I hope you are feeling better, I will come to see you in a few days."
Queenie barely finished her sentence, then turned around and walked out of the room. There was almost a sense of escape. She didn’t even wait for a response from Eddie, and the dark figure flashed by her. Todd quickly left the room, following her.
Eddie’s opened her eyes wide and questioned, "What is going on?" Stuart had expected that this would happen. He didn’t look surprised and said, "They can solve their own problems."
In the corridor of the hospital, the only noise there was heard was her high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor. She was walking at a fast pace, and the sound was almost chaotic. She knew she shouldn’t have left so abruptly, but her first reaction was to run.
She didn’t know how to face Todd. Queenie lowered her head, and she just wanted to get away, but suddenly someone pulled her arm and made her step back. She looked up and saw Todd clutching her arm.
He looked very agitated. She automatically struggled and pulled back her hand, "Let go of me." Todd held her even tighter as if he was afraid that she would run away again. He stared at her, "Why do you keep running from me?".
"These are my legs, and I have my own mind. Do I need to report to you if I want to leave?"
Queenie did not show any weakness. Todd squinted, "Queenie, I haven’t seen you for a few years. You look so much different than before." Yes, strictly speaking, they have not seen each other for five years. When Queenie heard Todd’s words, her heart trembled heavily. Those past events flooded through her mind like a tide, almost drowning her.
She bit down on her lower lip, trying to keep her feelings hidden, "Why did Sir Anderson say this, as if you don’t remember what I looked like a few years ago." Queenie spoke with a mocking tone, and the "Sir Anderson" was harsher than being poked by a needle. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Todd frowned tightly, and he pulled Queenie to the front, "Don’t call me sir Anderson." When she heard this, Queenie actually had an impulse to laugh. After a few years, why did Todd still act so childish?
"Don’t call you sir Anderson, what should I call you? What do I qualify to call you?"
Two people, the handsome man, and woman were quarreling in the corridor of the hospital. Many people passing by could not help but look back. Todd frowned. He knew that her identity was not suitable for public speaking.
He said at once, "Let’s find a place to eat, let’s talk some more?" Queenie did not move. She slowly and firmly pulled her hand back from Todd’s.
"I don’t want to eat with you, and there is nothing to talk about, sir Anderson. Please pay attention to your behavior."
Todd was upset that she pulled her hand away, and finally, he got angry. He reached out and pushed Queenie against the wall. With one hand next to her head controlling her movement, he held her chin in one hand and forced her to look directly into his eyes. He smiled, and the cynic sir Anderson was back.
"You were willing to accompany me to dinner before? Why not now? Is it because you are famous and now you are playing hard to get? Then I will give you some money; fifty thousand wasn’t enough? How about five hundred thousand or five million? You tell me how much it takes to talk to you?"
When Todd spoke, and he said these words "fifty thousand," Her face suddenly became pale. He humiliated her with the things she was trying to forget. Queenie had a bitter feeling in her heart, but she did not want to show weakness in front of him.
She deliberately revealed a sultry smile and said without much care, "How much does it cost me to get you to let go? Would it be better if you say the price?"
"Oh, you have so much money, and you are different now. Don’t forget who helped you get to where you are now." freewebnoveℓ.com
Queenie took Todd’s hand and pinched his chin, forcing his hand to let go of her face, leaving only a bright red fingermark on his chin.
"Between us, we don’t owe each other anything anymore!"
Queenie said coldly and didn’t look at the expression of Todd, then she turned around and left. Todd got so angry, he could only see her back and shouted, "If you are so good now, don’t forget, you are a bitch that I have slept with!"
Even after so many years, Queenie had experienced countless setbacks and pain. Right at this moment of hearing his words, she still felt as though her heart was being torn apart. She closed her eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks, but she did not stop. She did not look back.
