You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: You Don’t Have To Apologize

"If it’s a boy..." His voice shook a little as if he had already imagined if he had a child as naughty as Cecil, he would hit his ass every day!

As he finished his sentence, his eyes flickered towards Cecil, who was eating behind Edie’s chair. Edie chuckled, she didn’t think that much, she would love her child regardless of the gender. Edie felt really happy just at the thought of having a third member in her family.

After they finished the food, Edie took Cecil back to his room and coaxed him to sleep. After she accomplished her mission, she went back to her own room. She had wound on her back so she couldn’t take a shower herself, Stuart always did it for her. Edie was already really tired, so she quickly fell asleep after the shower. Watching her sweet face, Stuart felt that his heart was filled with happiness and content.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Although he immediately hung up after it rang, the noise still disturbed Edie’s sweet dream. Stuart didn’t know whether Edie was awake or not, she mumbled in a soft voice, "Who... who is it..." Then there was silence, and she probably fell asleep again.

Stuart winced and kissed her forehead, then got up to call back.

"What’s wrong?"

"Mister, the lady you sent here yesterday suddenly got a high fever tonight, she kept calling your name. We couldn’t inject tranquilizer for her because she struggled too hard. Mister... do you want to come and see her?" The person on the phone said hesitantly.

After hearing the news, Stuart looked at Edie and winced. When he was just about to refuse, the person continued, "Mister... if the high fever doesn’t stop, she... might die."

The sentence successfully blocked Stuart’s refusal; he went silent for a few seconds and said, "I’ll be there soon."

Edie didn’t sleep well last night, even though she was very tired and fell asleep quickly, she felt unsettling. The next morning, Edie opened her eyes dazedly before sunrise, it was five o’clock. She reached her hand to feel Stuart beside her, and he should be there at this time of day.

But...

The space beside Edie was empty, and even the blanket was cold. It proved that Stuart had gone for a long time. Edie became sober immediately and looked at the empty space blankly, and she was confused. Where did Stuart go? Maybe he’s downstairs?

She quickly changed and walked out of the room. Servants hadn’t woke up yet; the whole mansion was in silence. She walked downstairs, and there was no one there. Where did Stuart go?

She immediately dialed Stuart, and the phone was picked up shortly after, "Where... where are you? Did you not sleep last night, or did you leave really early?"

"My friend was in trouble, and I had to go help him. You were still asleep when I left; I didn’t want to wake you up." His voice was calm as usual, but Edie noticed a tinge of fatigue in his voice, which proved that he either didn’t sleep well last night or didn’t sleep at all. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Since Edie just came to Britain, she didn’t know any of Stuart’s friends, so she didn’t know which friend Stuart was talking about. Because Stuart had a phobia for women, she presumed that his friend was a man, so she didn’t haggle over it. She wasn’t a woman without reason.

But...

"Today... Brittany said we’re going to the church, can you still come?" She said tentatively, obviously expecting something. She was suddenly uncertain about what had always been a certainty. Stuart was never absent from any event of hers, but after what had happened this morning and yesterday, she was worried. Could he come and see the church with her?

The word "church" echoed in Stuart’s mind like a rumble of thunder, he suddenly remembered what he should’ve done yesterday. He prepared a surprise and wanted to take Edie to the wedding dress salon, but he forgot about it when that phone called! How did Edie feel yesterday? She didn’t say anything!

"I’ll be right back home, and then we can go together."

"I’ll wait for you at home."

AS the phone hung up, Edie glanced around the ward and asked the doctor, "How’s she now?"

"The patient’s condition is now stable, and she should be awake just in a few days’ time."

"Please take care of her for me; I have something on, I have to go, if something happens, call me the first minute."

"I understand, Mr. Yates." The doctor could see the anxiety in him, and he had been up for a whole night, the worry in his eyes was not fake.

In less than one hour, Stuart was finally home. Edie immediately went to the door, took the slippers out, hung his outfit on the clothes hanger, and gently said, "Are you tired? The cook has already made breakfast. I wanted to cook at first, but then thought Cecil might not like my cooking, so I gave up."

"I’ve said it before, and you don’t have to cook." Stuart hugged Edie eagerly, he had been smelling sanitizer for the whole night, so when he smelt the fresh scent coming from Edie, he was fascinated by it. He wanted to keep hugging her forever.

Hearing Stuart’s words, Edie smiled, "Although you don’t want me to cook, as your wife, I want my husband to try my dishes once! By the way... is your friend okay?"

Similarly, Edie smelt the sanitizer on her as well. Did he go to the hospital? Was his friend hurt?

"It’s all good now, Sorry for neglecting you for the past two days, I was supposed to go to the wedding salon with you yesterday, but I had an urgent matter to handle..." Stuart said guiltily.

"You don’t have to apologize, and it was my fault. You shouldn’t have to handle such trivial matters while you’re already so busy." After she said those words, Stuart stopped and immediately pulled her into his arms. Then He put his chin on her head.
