You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Stuart Is Good For You

The days went by quickly, Stuart was so busy with his company, and Eddie was finalizing the contract with Dynasty Elegy. They usually only ate together in the morning. Soon it was Friday, and the next day was Dior’s centennial celebration.

On Friday morning, Eddie got a call from Jason. He was hoping that she could convince Scarlet to go to the party with him. Eddie hung up the phone and didn’t know how far the two of their relationships had come.

When Scarlet became editor in chief, which meant she had more time to himself. The place where Scarlet and Jason always met was chosen by Scarlet, which was actually the bar!

Eddie asked Scarlet out for a drink, and they had gone to a daytime bar. This place didn’t have the greatest atmosphere, which made Eddie feel a little uncomfortable. Eddie and Scarlet were the only people in the bar, and Scarlet was sitting next to her. Scarlet had been sighing all afternoon, "Ah --"

Then again and again. Eddie had enough and didn’t want to hear it anymore. She grabbed Scarlet’s cheek and made her turn to look at her, "Miss Yvette, or should I call you editor in chief Yvette. We’ve been here for twenty minutes. You’ve been drinking, and you’ve been sighing all afternoon. Now you’re going to tell me what’s going on with you and Jason?"

Scarlet looked at Eddie with her eyes wide open, but he did not say a word. It wasn’t that Scarlet didn’t want to tell her what was going, it was that she really didn’t know how to say it.

Scarlet sat there thinking about Jason and her relationship, "What did Jason think of her? Did he think she was a Bitch?"

After the day that Jason took her out of the L. N. building, she went straight to his apartment. He did not fight with her, and they just sat around, played some cards, and had a few drinks! Every time she lost, and then she started to cheat. When she lost, she would be dragged to the bedroom for what he called, "A good game."

The next time, she deliberately chose to throw in the towel. However, Jason brazenly asked for a reward so she could not escape his strong attack. After several offensives, Scarlet actually got used to making love with Jason.

But neither of them had said what their relationship was. Scarlet didn’t have any experience with men. She made up a story of "My friend" when she asked one of her more experienced colleagues. The colleague immediately said, "What kind of relationship can this be? A sex partner."

"Sex partner," Scarlet had no idea what she meant. How could Scarlet say this to Eddie when she was incapable of accepting the relationship herself? So she had to be silent. Scarlet picked up the wine in front of her, she drank, and she sighed. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Eddie was freaking out, "Okay, then tell me why you’re not going to the party? If you don’t tell me what’s wrong, I am getting Jason over here, and you two can figure it out. Wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for you to network with so many celebrities being at this party? You need to prepare yourself for future interviews."

Knowing of Scarlet’s ambition, Eddie did her best to lure her into going to the party. Scarlet waved her hand, "I have nothing to do with Jason, and there are so many ladies waiting in line to be his date. Why should I go with him?"

"But Jason wants you to go with him."

"Bah, he’s such an asshole, he just wants to make fun of me."

Eddie didn’t know about their relationship, but with her knowledge of Scarlet and his current attitude, there must be something wrong between them. There were also boundaries between friends, and Eddie didn’t want to ask her too much.

Eddie wasn’t aware of this, but Jason gave Scarlet a job, and she was still trying to get it done.

"Are you really not going? All the food for this dinner was flown in from Australia and France, so we have a Michelin chef. Don’t you want to try it?"

"Since when have I cared about food or where it has come from?"

Eddie wanted to be honest and tell Scarlet precisely what she was thinking, but she didn’t dare.

"Don’t talk to me. I’m not interested in such an event. I’m not like those people, and you know that. Besides, I’m such a born beauty that I stole the limelight from the celebrities when I went away."

Scarlet deliberately used narcissism; in fact, he also wanted Eddie to be a little more relaxed. Eddie wanted to try and be a bit sympathetic, "Scarlet, I know how you feel, but if you don’t go, I don’t know anyone there. I’ll be scared."

"Really! No one?"

Scarlet flicked Eddie’s head in disgust, "When your husband is dead, this is your first appearance as the Yates lady. You’re going to be dressed to the nines."

"I thought you had a good impression of Stuart? How come you don’t trust him now?"

She had just told Scarlet that she was married to Stuart, and Scarlet was full of doubts about Stuart.

"I’m not stupid, and I know Stuart is good to you. I don’t have a lot of emotional experience, but I can tell he’s serious about you."

How could a person like Stuart have any heart? Scarlet was afraid that Eddie would get hurt. But to her surprise, Stuart was a real man of a lifetime, and she was glad to see Eddie so happy.

Scarlet didn’t know what she was thinking about, but her face suddenly became serious. She grabbed Eddie’s hand and said gravely, "But Eddie, I also want to tell you that marriage is a very fragile relationship, and any trifle can be the root of breaking it up. In a relationship, you should never take it lightly and never take it for granted."

Eddie had no idea what Scarlet was talking about, but her expression was a little moving. Others might not know it, but Eddie knew it all. Scarlet looked cheerful and optimistic on the surface, but her heart was actually more broken than anyone else’s.

As a child, Scarlet’s parents quarreled with each other. When she was eight years old, both of them finally divorced, but they didn’t want her. The crystallization of their love turned into an annoying burden.

From the time Scarlet went to primary school, she went from one foster home to another. She grew up not knowing what it was like to have a love of parents. Scarlet had a hard life, but no one knew about it except Eddie.

"How could people believe in such love?" Scarlet always wondered that.

"Scarlet...You will be happy one day! You will see."

Scarlet saw Eddie’s eyes were filled with tears and said, "Oh, I don’t believe in love. I am better off making money. I would much rather die alone. You need to have a baby, preferably a son."

"What are you talking about!" Eddie was getting angry.

Scarlet quickly begs for mercy, "I am joking...."

Just then, Eddie’s phone rang. It was from Stuart. Eddie looked at the time and was startled. She said to Scarlet, "I have an appointment with Stuart to pick me up at four o ’clock to look at a dress. I guess he’s almost here. I have to go there first. I’m going to call Jason and ask him to pick you up."

"Oh, come on, I’ll call him myself!"

Watching Eddie running out of the back of the bar, Scarlet laughed and drank the wine out of the glass. Only she knew she wouldn’t call Jason.
