Chapter 438: Chapter 438: What Are You Here For?
Aaron winced slightly, but the next second, he still put on a smile, "Don’t you think you’re a little ridiculous? She is not here, what are you here for?"
Although Edie left by her own will, the video was blank after she left the hospital, Edie wouldn’t be able to do that herself, she knew no one in Britain, let alone making enemies. All Stuart could think of was Aaron.
Also, he used the same method as last time, which made him very suspicious.
"I’m only asking this once, where is she?" Stuart squeezed the words out of his teeth.
Aaron smiled after hearing what he said, "What are you going to do about it? I’ve already let her go once, and it’s your fault that you didn’t keep alert. I’ve got her. What do you want?"
Wilson said promptly, "Master Stuart, don’t listen to Master Aaron, we’ve never seen Mrs. Yates, Master Aaron never even left the room today."
"He could hire people to do it for him, where is she now?" Stuart gained him on with oppression.
Aaron got up from his sofa and threw away his magazine, and he chuckled, "Indeed, I could appoint someone else to do it for me, I don’t want to play the game of cat-and-mouse anymore, there is a forest inhabited by wolves behind the Chateau, so I left her there if you want to find her, go by yourself!"
He chuckled delightfully, "The sun is nearly down, even if there are no wolves, could the cold temperature at night in the forest freeze her? If you set off now, you may still have enough time to find her."
The next second, Stuart turned around and was ready to leave.
Aaron stopped him, "Why are you wearing so many clothes, aren’t you hot? I can keep them for you."
Stuart gave him a profound look, then, without any hesitation, took off his suit. As he was acting, he surprisingly felt something in his suit. There was a letter in his pocket, which he didn’t notice in the morning.
It said Attn: Stuart Yates.
He could recognize the writing! It was Edie’s!
His eyes froze.
Aaron noticed there was something wrong with him, "So what now, you don’t go anymore? I won’t stop you either!"
Stuart slowly looked up at him, and his eyes were cold as ice. As his eyes landed on Aaron’s face, he said word by word, stressing each one of them, "You better be sure Edie is in there, if I couldn’t find her, I’ll hold you responsible!"
If Edie was not in there, where else could he find her? All he could do was pray for Edie’s safety. He squeezed the letter in his hand then threw his suit on Aaron’s face.
Aaron was not enraged, he gave the suit to Wilson and said while watching Stuart leave, "Give the suit back, then notify Ian to come and pick him up."
"Master, why are you deliberately enraging Master Stuart?" Wilson was baffled.
"Enrage? I don’t have that ability, and if he gets angry one day, it could only be because of Edie. She is the only one with such ability in the whole world. Deliver the suit now, or Ian won’t believe me. The signal is not good in the forest, don’t waste their rescue time."
Right before Wilson was about to carry out the order, he suddenly realized something, then asked puzzledly, "Master Aaron, are you worried about Master Stuart, or...Mrs. Yates?"
The atmosphere became especially suffocating after Wilson asked the question.
Aaron’s delightful face suddenly fell, his fox-like eyes suddenly became freezing cold.
"You’re mouthy."
"Sorry." Wilson apologized immediately with a bow.
"Get out," Aaron said with no emotion.
Wilson left and closed the door on his way out.
Aaron was alone in his room, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on him and lengthened his figure, which made him seem a little lonely and desolate.
Wilson walked down the stairs before he could call Ian. Aaron called him first.
"Master Aaron?" Wilson picked up the phone, but no one answered, he highly doubted that Master Aaron had dialed the wrong number.
As he was choosing between whether to hang up or not, Aaron suddenly spoke, "Send people to go and find Edie."
"Is the Master worrying about Mrs. Yates?" But there was no one there to answer the question because Aaron had already hung up.
At the same time, Stuart was already in the forest, the woods were luxuriant, and the humidity was getting higher and higher as Stuart went deeper. The environment was very damp and cold. As he trod on rotten branches and dead leaves, they would make strange noises.
He opened the letter as he walked.
Dear Hubby, Happy Birthday!
Today is your 28th birthday, I know it sounds a little old, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll always be with you, please age slower, so that I can catch up with you. Remember, we signed a contract before to state that we are in a fake marriage? The contract has expired long ago, and now I want to sign a new one with you? The clauses are listed below, if you agree, put your signature on it, then return the contract to me tomorrow!
He flipped to the next page, and it was a contract. The contract contained all sorts of clauses, such as the second party must love the first party forever, cannot cheat, must oblige to all of the first party’s requirements, spend money for the first party, etc. It could almost be called an unequal treaty. freёwebnovel.com
The first party was Edie, and the second party was him.
But as Stuart read through the clauses, he suddenly smiled. How childish and cute.
He recalled when they had first met, everything happened so quickly, as if everything was wrong, but it seemed to be the right time.
He could totally just give her a bunch of money and pretend that nothing had ever happened, but he chose to let her in his life with a contract. Then he realized it was the best decision he had ever made in his entire life. He married the love of his life because of all the wrong reasons.
So she did prepare a gift for him but was too embarrassed to tell him in person. He should’ve discovered earlier, why didn’t he notice in the morning? And Edie... why didn’t she just tell him?
What if his suit got taken to the dry cleaner?
What if the servants lost it?
He could even imagine the red blush on Edie’s face when she put the letter inside his pocket. That girl could always easily strike the most tender part of his heart. Stuart carefully stored the letter back into his pocket and looked into the woods.
Edie... Wait for me.
