Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Secret Of The Past
Anna took out a photo album from her bag and handed it to Stuart, "Here are some photos of her. There weren’t just photos taken while she was filming, but there were some others taken elsewhere. I have sorted them out for you. Here, have a look."
Who is this, "her"? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
It seemed that there was not only a relationship between Stuart and Anna but also someone was involved. Her instinct told her that this was the woman that Stuart never forgot. She immediately remembered what Aaron had told her. He had also mentioned a woman.
Could it be the same person? Eddie’s heart was beating fast, as Anna was about to hand over the photo album, she subconsciously reached out and wanted to take it. Anna saw Eddie’s movement and was worried.
How she wished that Eddie would open the album and then accuse and question Stuart. Then they would immediately start to quarrel, and there would be no way that Stuart could explain it to her. If there was a rift between them, then she could have a chance.
However, Eddie’s hand only got halfway before Stuart took it from Anna’s hand. She never expected him to reach out as quickly as he did. He took the photo album directly and put it by his side, "Thank you."
Anna looked up, and she could see Eddie trembling. She looked at Stuart with a surprised look on her face. His expression was not guilty or flustered. He was still calm, but Eddie looked worried. She felt that Stuart did not want her to see this album; he was hiding something from her. freewebnσvel.cøm
Anna looked at Eddie and wished she knew what was going through her mind. Her eyes flashed with excitement, and she smiled, "It’s almost twelve o’clock. Would you like to go out for lunch? There is a famous organic restaurant in the city. I know how your stomach is not good. So this place would be perfect for you, Stuart."
Anna’s looked at Stuart, and Stuart lowered his head to look at Eddie, "What do you think? Would you like to go?"
Eddie was still thinking about the photo album. Her mind was continually playing back the action of Stuart’s movements, Her mind was in turmoil, and she wasn’t completely aware of what was going on around her. She saw Stuart looking at her as if he was asking her something, she was a little confused and subconsciously nodded.
Seeing Eddie nod, Stuart said, "Okay, let’s go."
Anna and Stuart stood up, and Eddie knew that they were going out to eat. If she had only known what Stuart was asking, she would have positively refused. She wanted to stay home and ask him what was going on, but it was too late.
Stuart drove the car, but when Eddie and Anna went to get in the car, there was a moment of embarrassment. Anna took the first step and walked straight to the passenger seat. When she opened the door, she covered her mouth and said to Eddie, "Sorry, I am so used to sitting beside Stuart as we were in Europe for so long."
She didn’t care what Eddie’s reaction was, and she closed the door and sat in the back seat. Eddie stood there for a few seconds before she got into the car and slowly clenched her hands into a fist. Right at this very moment, the only thing that she felt was betrayed.
What did Anna mean? Was she declaring war? She didn’t believe that Anna was really used to sitting beside Stuart. Stuart had been in the city for a few years. During that period, he rarely returned to Europe.
She knew that Anna was doing it to make Eddie upset. She wasn’t going to let Anna succeed. She didn’t say anything, and she wasn’t going to show any dissatisfaction. She got in the car and sat in the passenger’s seat.
While Eddie was in the car, she looked at the rearview mirror and found Anna in the back, staring at her. Now she was sure that Anna must like Stuart. This kind of hostility could not be disguised. There appeared to be a strong rival, and she knew that she would have to fight for Stuart. She managed a smile but was too overwhelmed by her emotions to speak.
Anna likes Stuart, did he know that? On the drive to the restaurant, Anna kept talking to Stuart about what happened in the past few years. Although Stuart was not interested in it, he responded politely. Eddie bit her lower lip to try and calm herself down.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Eddie and Anna were perfectly aware of the mutual feelings toward Stuart. The restaurant was excellent and upscale. The decoration completely fit Stuart’s style. The dishes were very light, and it was very suitable for him because he could not eat spicy food.
Stuart went to the park the car, and Eddie and Anna walked into the restaurant and went to order their dishes. Anna had made a reservation in advance. Eddie couldn’t help but wonder when Anna made the reservation. Why did she make it in advance?
At the time, Anna didn’t know that Stuart was married and she planned to come here alone with him. She came prepared, and since Stuart was outside parking the car, Anna was not polite at all. She picked up the menu, looked at the meals, and ordered all light and nutritious dishes.
Anna could feel Eddie looking at her, and she smiled slightly, "These are the dishes that Stuart likes. I have no idea what you like to eat, and I am not going to order for you. So, you can order it yourself.."
Hearing what Anna said, Eddie could feel her face turning red with anger. What was this, Anna’s way of showing off in front of her husband? Eddie tried to control her anger and took a deep breath.
Since Eddie was working in the entertainment circle, she has been exposed to many situations like this. She didn’t care what Anna said, and she suppressed her anger, smiled, and said, "I like the same dishes as Stuart does, after all, we eat together every day."
Anna’s smile vanished from her face; she lowered her head and ordered a few dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter.
"Stuart is so busy. He probably does not have a lot of time to spend with you to eat?" Anna asked inadvertently. Eddie’s smile deepened, "Yes, he is very busy at work, but as soon as I get home, he always comes back to eat with me."
Anna reached out her hand and paused, "How long have you known Stuart?"
"Not less than three months," The answer to her question seemed to satisfy her. The smile returned to her face, "I knew Stuart when I was ten years old. At that time, we learned equestrian together. Stuart wasn’t always so cold. He was born to be a gentleman. He has always taken such good care of me. Later, we also learn golf together."
