Chapter 422: Chapter 422: I’ll Wait For Him
And then, Edie was brought back to the fitting room again. She tried two more dresses on but were discontent with them. Finally, when she tried on the Chinese style cheongsam, Brittany clapped her hands and cheered.
The cheongsam splits on the side to Edie’s thigh, which perfectly revealed her beautiful leg. Wearing a cheongsam requires a good body shape, and Edie just had that. The green cheongsam had a delicate pink lotus sophisticatedly embroidered on the front, which made Edie look more sweet and pure.
"We will take this one, lower the split on the side a little, or Stuart wouldn’t allow it. Edie, let’s take a rest; you must be tired by now too." Edie nodded, at first, she thought it would be easy to choose a wedding dress, she didn’t expect it to be so tiring. She only tried on four dresses today, and she was already exhausted.
Discovering that they were taking a break, Cecil, who was standing beside them, ran over in his adorable dress, "I haven’t changed back yet; I’m too chubby; I can’t unzip myself, change me back!"
Edie turned her head in the direction of the voice and tried hard not to laugh. Although Cecil was a little chubby, his facial feature was still delicate and pretty. He was totally a chubby princess in those blonde wigs and dresses.
It was then that Brittany had finally remembered him; seeing him in the dress, she nodded in content, "Not bad, we’ll take this one, don’t change for him, he’ll wear it home."
"Why are you doing this to me, I’m not playing with you anymore..." Cecil was angry but didn’t dare to resent, so he hid aside, pursing his lips.
While on break, Brittany made a call. She didn’t avoid Edie, so Edie knew she was calling the L.N. headquarter. After hanging up, Brittany winced confusedly, "I just called the company; there are no urgent matters in the company. Then what’s Stuart doing at the company on the weekend?"
"I don’t know," Edie shook her head, "that’s what he told me."
"Today is the day to pick a wedding dress for you, he should come no matter how busy he is, doesn’t he love you the most? How could he miss out on such an important event?" Brittany was in a daze. freewebnσvel.cøm
After hearing what Brittany had just said, Edie’s heart missed a beat, and she had a bad feeling. Stuart... why didn’t he come today?
She suppressed the weird feeling within a little and said, "He didn’t tell me that I’m picking a wedding dress today."
"Yes, I’m confused about it as well! I thought you knew, but you didn’t! Stuart suddenly called me two days ago and told me to contact the wedding dress salon and come over. I even brought someone else with me just in case you two might feel uneasy picking a wedding dress together. In the end, I’m here, and he’s not? Did he forget?"
Forget...
What Brittany said hit the bottom of her heart hard, the pain startled her. Stuart forgot? Would he forget such an important event?
Recognizing Edie’s expression, Brittany realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly explained, "Maybe he didn’t forget, he was just really busy?"
That... was not very persuasive. If Stuart loved Edie so much, why would he not appear on such an important day? It was either he had forgotten, or something more important had happened. But what could be more important than their wedding? Edie was all excited at first, but after hearing what Brittany had said, her interest faded away completely. After that, she just randomly picked a few dresses and left.
Then Brittany said they were going to visit the church for their wedding, and it was the famous Bruges Cathedral. It was one of the most beautiful churches in London. But... because Stuart was not there, Edie had no interest in visiting anything. Preparing for a wedding is supposed to be a matter for both of them.
Brittany knew Edie was in a bad mood, so she didn’t force Edie to go. She called Stuart, realizing that his phone was turned off, such a thing had never happened before! Obviously, Edie noticed it as well.
Edie bit her lip lightly, noticing Brittany’s worried eyes, she turned around and smiled at her, "Don’t worry, we’ll know when he comes back tonight, let’s go home?"
Brittany nodded; she suppressed the worry in her heart and deliberately raised light topics to cheer Edie up. When they were back at the villa, Stuart still hadn’t come home yet. Brittany worried that she might be upset all by herself, so she especially had dinner with her before leaving. Cecil loved food and sleep, and he fell asleep quickly after filling up his little tummy.
"Mrs. Yates, Master, said he would come home late tonight, don’t wait for him, sleep first," the butler said. Seeing Edie crouching on the sofa made the butler feel sorry for her.
When hearing his words, Edie’s eyes enlightened immediately and quickly asked, "Did Stuart call? Why didn’t he call me?"
If Stuart saw her miss calls, he would definitely call her!
The butler said calmly and unhurriedly, "Master called with his office phone, and you might not notice. He said that his phone ran out of battery but still had businesses to deal with, so he will come home a bit late tonight. Master told me to let you go to bed early."
Hearing his words, Edie felt much better. So it’s because his phone ran out of battery! She indeed did not pay attention to whether the home phone had rung or not, so she completely believed in the butler’s words. It seemed that he must have important things to do, and what she thought on the way back home was all just nonsense.
Edie patted her own head in regret, her husband worked so hard outside, and she complained that he didn’t accompany her to pick a wedding dress and go to the church. She was an incompetent wife.
Her bleak face became bright again, she smiled and said to the butler, "I’ll wait for him, the cook has already left, if he gets hungry when he comes back, there’ll be no food. I’ll cook some porridge for him so that when he comes back, at least he won’t be hungry."
The butler knew he couldn’t stop Edie, so he nodded. As Edie entered the kitchen, the butler winced. What’s wrong with Master today? He was not at the company, his phone was turned off, no one was able to contact him, where did he go? And why did he not tell Edie? If it wasn’t him, Edie would still be upset right now. The two of them are getting married soon, no more drama, please.
