Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Fight For Her Happiness
The happily young couple talked and were in such a good mood. Eddie ate some noodles, and Stuart asked, "Do you like it? How does it taste?" There was a hint of tension in his voice as he was a little timid to ask. Although it was not the first time he cooked for her, it was the first time he asked her opinion.
"The noodles...a" Eddie rolled her eyes, "are not very good!" Stuart looked at her with a slight frown of disapproval on his face, "Why? What’s wrong with them?" He followed the directions, step by step, so there should be no problem. He wondered if he put too much salt in it?
"It’s not good for you to cook so little when I seem to be so hungry this morning." Eddie playfully winked at him.
"It’s actually delicious," she said, and Stuart relaxed his eyebrows. "As long as you want, I will cook for you every day."
Mr. Sampson had given up on trying to persuade Stuart to stay out of the kitchen. He just stood by his side and grinned. He didn’t seem to care as long as they had a good relationship. When they were finished eating, Stuart’s cell phone suddenly rang. He answered it directly.
She didn’t know what was said, but Stuart’s facial expression was solidified. His eyes suddenly darkened. Eddie saw his change without knowing anything. She involuntarily put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Stuart, wondering what happened.
Stuart did not say anything. He only listened to the person on the other end, and his face turned ugly like being covered with a layer of frost. His black eyes were complicated and deep. Finally, Stuart said something, "I know it." Then he hung up the phone.
Before Eddie could even ask him what happened, he stood up and went into the living room. "I have something to do today. I have to leave immediately. If you want to go out, let Mr. Sampson know, and he will arrange a car for you."
As Stuart was talking, he didn’t even look at her. For some reason, it made Eddie feel uncomfortable. She knew that he was busy, but she had to ask, "Aren’t you going to finish eating?"
"No, I do not have the time," Stuart replied as he walked towards the door. Eddie turned around and looked at Stuart, asking, "Will you be back for dinner?" He had promised her that he would cook for her tonight. Stuart stopped for a second, and he didn’t turn around. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Yes."
Stuart opened the door and left. The dining room fell into complete silence. She couldn’t explain it, but suddenly she was overwhelmed with worry. Mr. Sampson saw the expression on Eddie’s face and said, "Eddie, Sir. Yates has a lot of work to do. Sometimes there are some unexpected situations that he needs to deal with."
Eddie looked up and smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, Mr. Sampson, I know." She couldn’t help but blame herself for being too sensitive. Pressing those unexplainable emotions, Eddie continued to eat the bowl of noodles.
Stuart got in the car and immediately made a call. He didn’t speak. There were a light and playful female voice on the other end, "Stuart, Mr. Bates has told you, right? Are you coming to pick me up?"
The look on Stuart’s face was icy, "You said that you found the whereabouts of Marina Daisy?" She had no idea that Stuart would question her. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "The situation is too complicated. It’s better if we talk in person. I just got off the plane, and I am at the airport. Could you come and pick me up?"
Stuart lightly lifted his eyebrows, but he did not refuse, "Okay, I will be there within twenty minutes." Then he hung up the phone. Stuart’s knuckles had turned white from hanging onto the phone so tight. His black eyes were filled with complex emotions. freewebnσvel.cøm
For so many years, perhaps because of feeling guilty even if the Daisy family had given up, he had never given up on the search for Marina. In a decade of searching, there was no clue, but now Anna said she had found her.
Stuart’s heart, which had always been cold and calm, was beating fast. Now back at the airport, a tall, sexy, mixed-race beauty hung up the phone. She said to her assistant, "Okay, you go back first." The assistant did not understand, "But you have so much luggage, Miss Joe won’t let me send you to the hotel?"
"You take those two suitcases with you and leave me with one," Anna waved her hand. Although the assistant did not understand Anna’s intentions, she had become accustomed to obeying her order. Anna sat on the lounge chair and smiled.
She just wanted to create a helpless look. She was a woman who was alone in the city, and Stuart had to help her. She knew Stuart, and even if he looked cold, he would always help his friends. After her assistant left, Anna took out her phone and opened the photo album. There was a folder named Y, and Anna clicked on it. frёeωebɳovel.com
There were many photos of only one person inside. Most of them were sneak shots, the way he read books, the way he rode a horse, the way he shoots, and even the commemorative photo was magnified, cutting out his part. The man was handsome and proud. His eyes were deep and cold. His thin lips were always biting his lower lip. At first glance, he was a man who was inconstant in love, but she was fascinated by him.
The man in the picture was Stuart. He was such a kind and caring man who had not given up looking for a woman for over ten years. Even at this moment, he was willing to see her because she had news about the woman.
She heard men become more ruthless when they start to love, but even more so when they actually fall in love. Was that person Marina Daisy? There was infinite jealousy in Anna’s heart.
Why the woman he remembered was not her, but she was her best friend? Marina was not as beautiful as her. Her family was not as wealthy as her. Even her character was not as lovely. She was timid. She just thought Marina was pitiful, so she treated her as a friend.
However, Marina took her beloved man away so that she no longer had the opportunity to enter Stuart’s heart. She was only a friend of Stuart’s, but a man like Stuart, who would be willing ONLY to be friends with him? She has been planning AND waiting for an opportunity. It has been ten years, and she finally has a chance.
However, what disappointed her was that after that incident, Stuart was significantly hit and could not cope. He was no longer willing to stay in Europe. After five years of study in Europe, he returned directly to his home and inherited the domestic industry of the L.N. Group.
There was not much contact between them, and it wasn’t long before there wasn’t any communication between them at all. Only at Christmas every year, she would receive a Merry Christmas message.
That was not what she wanted at all. This time, she was prepared to come and decided to fight the happiness for herself. She was determined to get Stuart!
