You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: He Is Married

Eddie was choked up because she never thought about how Stuart would feel when he first saw her that night. She imagined if the situation was reversed and she saw Stuart lying in a fire, not knowing if he were dead or alive, she would have gone out of her mind too.

Eddie lowered her head, "I guess you are right, but I hope that if something like this happens again, you will talk to me about it, and we can make a decision together?"

"I did not make the decision, and it was Todd’s way of apologizing to you. I didn’t find out about it until after it was done."

Eddie was relieved when she found out Stuart did not do it. She didn’t want to talk any more about such appalling things. So, she took the initiative to change the topic. After they returned to the Villa, they parked the car and walked into the house. freewebnoveℓ.com

They had just stepped into the entrance of the house when they were interrupted by an excited voice, "Stuart, you are finally back!"

Stuart? Eddie heard this and immediately turned to look at him. She noticed a slight frown of disapproval on his face. Stuart was a bit puzzled when he heard Anna’s voice. He never expected that she would show up at his house.

Anna was sitting on the sofa waiting for Stuart, and as soon as she heard the door open, she knew it was him. She was filled with excitement and ran to the entrance to welcome him back. She was frozen in disbelief as she saw Stuart standing beside another woman. She was so shocked that she could not speak.

She shook her head in disbelief as she thought it had to be some kind of misunderstanding. She looked at Stuart and the woman standing next to him, and she saw his arm wrapped around her waist, and the woman was leaning into Stuart. Anna had never seen him this close to a woman before, not even when he was with Marina. "How could this happen?" she wondered.

"Stuart," Anna said as her lips began to tremble. She bit her lips to keep them from quivering, and her eyes were dim. Eddie looked at Anna with a blank stare, wondering who she was. Her instincts were that the relationship between this woman and Stuart was a complicated one.

He gazed down at Eddie for a moment, squeezed her hand for reassurance, and then said, "Take off your shoes and go inside."

Eddies nodded and started to take off her shoes. Stuart could feel how uncomfortable Eddie was, and he thought that he should introduce them, "This is Anna. The Joyce family and my family are old friends. She is a friend of mine. Anna, this is my wife, Eddie."

"What did you say? Wife? Are you married?" Anna blinked in disbelief, expecting Stuart to tell her it was a joke. Of course, he didn’t as it wasn’t in his character. Stuart nodded and said, "Yes."

Anna’s eyes were full of bitterness and jealousy. She had always been good at hiding her emotions, but after finding out this information, there was no hiding how she was feeling at this exact moment. Her feelings quickly disappeared as having an aristocratic life allowed her to change her emotions instantly.

Eddie was a professional at acting as this was how she made a living, and she immediately noticed Anna’s expressions. She could plainly see that this woman was in love with Stuart. Anna blindsided Stuart. She had been able to hide her love from him instinctively. This kind of skill cannot be formed in just a short time.

When she thought of her husband being loved for so many years, and then this woman shows up without warning. Inside, she was burning up with anger. Out of instinct, Eddie felt very hostile towards this woman as she was now facing a love rival.

Eddie was not a fool, and she was fully aware of what she was faced with. To avoid confrontation, she was not going to be angry with Stuart, and she would wait for him to explain the situation to her. Eddie smiled gracefully and led everyone inside, "You are our guest. Please let’s not stand here, let’s go into the living room."

Eddie had to be a hostess to their guest, and as they got halfway into the living room, she asked, "Anna, would you like a drink?" Anna took this question as defiance, and there was no way that she could respond out of anger. To her, this was the worst thing in the world, and she was not qualified to be jealous.

With the bitterness of a broken heart, she said with a wry smile, "Soda, thank you."

Eddie nodded and turned to Stuart, deliberately lowered her voice and said softly, "Husband, what do you want to drink?"

Hearing her say, "husband." Stuart’s eyebrows raised questioningly. He looked at her with his dark eyes revealing emotion. "She called him husband so intimately in front of people? Why is Eddie acting so different today?" These thoughts were going through his mind.

He never questioned it again as it made him happy to hear her say this. Hearing her soft voice always made him feel at ease, and all he wanted to do was to fulfill his commitment to her. Stuart leaned down and kissed her cheek softly, "Listen to you."

She smiled, "Would you like some Ceylon black tea?"

"Okay," he said, and the love in Stuart’s eyes could be plainly seen. Anna was watching the two of them and could feel nothing but contempt in her heart. Stuart’s behavior has changed; he never treated Marina in this manner. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Stuart didn’t dislike Marina’s closeness, but his attitude towards Marina was careless. The Yates family and the Daisy family agreed on the marriage of Stuart and Marina. Stuart did not object, but he did not support it either. As a family heir, he would have to follow the family.

At that time, he was still indifferent to others, but his attitude toward Marina was enough to be envied by others. Anna always thought that was Stuart’s character, and he would do great things. He would go far when he became an heir because he would be impossible to stop. She remembered thinking that Marina had it all, the wealth, the power, and the husband, but she was wrong. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Now, after seeing Stuart’s attitude toward Eddie, she knew it was true love. There was no way that Marina could be compared to Eddie. Anna couldn’t compete against Marina, how would she compete against Eddie? Thinking of this made her break out in a cold sweat.

Eddie got up and went to the kitchen to prepare the drinks. As soon as she left, Anna immediately asked Stuart, "Stuart, when did you get married? Why didn’t you tell me?"
