You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Injury

These thoughts kept flashing quickly in Hicks’s mind. She forgot to answer Stuart’s question, and he slightly frowned. He was thinking about Eddie waiting for him and was now getting impatient. Stuart said again, "Miss Day, did you hear my question?"

Hicks shook her head as if she was just awakened. She looked up at Stuart and could see the impatience in his eyes. Hicks was shocked at how he was looking at her and answered, "I... I went shopping in Times Mall today and I saw Eddie there because she helped at the audition, I invited her to have lunch with me. Eddie asked me if I needed a drive and she brought me here to the bar. I have never been at such a disgusting place as this and I was a little scared. So I begged her to come in with me."

Hicks’s voice was trembling, and she looked at him pitifully. However, Stuart did not feel any sympathy for her, but instead pursued the details of her words, "Did you know you were here to meet Tyron before you came inside?"

Hicks became nervous immediately, and she didn’t want to answer Stuart’s question. It seemed that Stuart was asking her if she knew who she was coming to meet. In fact, the implication was that she knew this was going to happen, such as Tyron’s dirty thoughts and what he planned on doing to them.

Although her agent did not explain the situation to her, she knew that something terrible was going to happen. When a female actress is arranged to meet with an investor alone, it is not a good thing? She just prayed that she would be lucky enough to escape her fate.

But she would never say these words to Stuart. She had an unrealistic fantasy for him and would never take the initiative to destroy her impression of her in his heart. Hicks looked frightened and shook her head, helplessly, "I didn’t know. My agent only said that we would meet with a few investors. My agent said he would be here later. I never expected it would end up like this. I thought it was a rare opportunity to communicate with the investors by myself. I also thought that it might be good for Eddie, too, so I invited her to come with me."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he vaguely flashed with the emotion of doubt. Stuart stared at the woman in front of him.

"So what she meant was that everything was just an accident, and she didn’t know anything?"

If Stuart weren’t so intelligent and easy to deceive, he would not have reached the current status he was in.

But looking at the face that was so similar to Marina, Stuart did not want to force her to tell the truth.

"I will ask someone to take you home. Get some rest and take care of yourself."

There was a cold tone in Stuart’s voice, and he turned around and started to leave. Hicks saw that he was getting ready to go out the door, and she sat up from the bed and asked, "Mr. Yates, can you please give me your number?"

Stuart frowned, "It’s not necessary. Just contact my secretary if there is anything that you need."

After that, he didn’t give Hicks another look. He turned around and walked out of the room. Ivan did not think that Hicks deserved to be sent home by him personally. Ivan ordered the bodyguards behind him to take Hicks safely to her home. Then he left following Stuart.

Hicks looked at Stuart’s back as he was leaving the room, and she reluctantly bit her lips.

"Why was he willing to give his number to Eddie, but not to her? What on earth was the relationship between them? She must figure it out!"

Stuart hurried back to the car. As soon as he opened the door, Eddie shrank her body, as if she was scared. Seeing that it was Stuart, she relaxed and moved into his arms. Eddie had been frightened. She felt that she had never been as obsessed with his arms as she is right now.

The soft body of Eddie leaning against his arms, made Stuart hug her even tighter. He didn’t want to let go. She could smell the faint scent of his body, which made her feel relieved.

Stuart lowered his head and looked at her cheeks that were red because of being hit. He frowned and sternly said, "Don’t ever go to a place like this again!"

This requirement was a demand, but Eddie had a guilty conscience. She rarely obeyed Stuart, but this time she agreed, "Okay... I won’t..."

Eddie didn’t know why, but her body felt a little strange. She suddenly started to feel hot.

"Was it because she drank wine? But her drinking capability was not so bad."

Right at that moment, Ivan, who was driving the car, suddenly noticed Eddie’s face when he glanced in the rearview mirror and asked in confusion, "Mrs. Yates, are you feeling okay? You look like you are sweating. Do you need me to raise the air conditioner?"

It was unclear in the dim bar room, but now with the lights in the car, you could see that Eddie’s face was flushed. There was also a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She seemed to be very hot.

Eddie couldn’t figure out why she was feeling this way. It was similar to the feeling of being given drugs from before! freewebnoveℓ.com

This was definitely not a normal reaction after drinking. Eddie remembered when the last bottle of wine was brought in, the cap was off. Her heart started racing, and she had a bad feeling.

"In all likelihood, she had been given drugs by Tyron, the freak!"

Thinking of this, Eddie quickly pushed herself away from Stuart. But the moment she left his arms, she felt her heart suddenly feel empty, and she got a weird feeling. It was unbearable as if she could not control herself. Eddie bit down on her lips and moved further away from Stuart and sat on the other side of the car.

Suddenly the distance between them seemed to be so far away. Stuart noticed Eddie’s alienation and immediately frowned. He reflected whether his words were too strong and thought maybe that’s why she seemed angry.

But in Stuart’s heart, he was also suppressing his anger. Seeing that she was still frightened, he had to stay calm and did not want to say anything to her. Eddie’s attitude of admitting to her mistakes was not good! Therefore, Stuart couldn’t help but give her a stern look and say, "Are you angry with me?"

Eddie didn’t expect to cause such a big misunderstanding with one simple action. She swiftly raised her head, but when her eyes were on Stuart’s handsome face. She stopped and quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at him again.

"God, how can it be so unbearable that I can’t even look at him."

Eddie’s head was very low, and she said, "No... I know it’s my fault. I am deeply aware of my mistakes and I think that I need to apologize...I am now..."

Eddie’s voice sounded weak, powerless, and was somewhat trembling. Stuart could tell that she was still upset because when he looked at her hands, they were shaking. The anger that was burning up inside of him vanished, and for the first time, Stuart didn’t know what to do with Eddie. It was her that made a mistake and got herself in danger. He didn’t even finish the meeting and rushed over to save her, but yet she seems angry with him. Stuart had no idea what he did wrong.

The thoughts that were going through his mind almost made him crazy. Now he looks at Eddie, and he is reluctant to blame her. He couldn’t even speak a strong word to her. Seeing that she is so unhappy, he can’t help but want to please her.
