You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Is That Place Still Her Home?

"Open the door!" Stuart’s voice and anger both penetrated the door.

Brittany was surprised, and she didn’t expect Stuart to find them so quickly. As Stuart’s sister, she clearly knew just how terrifying Stuart could be when he gets angry. She got to the door immediately since she didn’t want to get a taste of his fury at all.

But as soon as Brittany got up, Edie grabbed her by her arm. Her fragile and terrified voice passed into her ears, "No!"

"But..."

Brittany looked to the door, then looked back at Edie’s terrifying expression, she was puzzled once again.

She pointed at the door, "My brother is threatening you?"

Edie did not reply, only gave her a pleading look, begging her not to open the door. She was not scared of Stuart but scared of the answer he might bring. Finally, Brittany helped Edie up, then walked her to the sofa without acknowledging the knocking sound at the front door.

"Actually, I shouldn’t be too involved with your relationship, but since you mentioned Marina, I can kind of guess why you’re at odds with my brother. I know my brother well, although he is slow with love, he can definitely distinguish love. He loves you, and he wants the whole world to know it, is that not enough? You fighting with him for someone who has already passed away, makes me feel sorry for him."

Edie bit her lower lip tightly, and said in a small voice, "Brittany, if Marina and I both stand in front of your brother, who do you think Stuart would pick?"

"Emmm..." Brittany didn’t know what to say, because she didn’t know the answer.

Choosing between the wife he loves and the ex-girlfriend who died for him ten years ago would be a torture. She was kind of glad that Marina had already died, unlike the scenarios in TV series, the character would be in a coma for three or five years, then wakes up to meddle with everything again.

She couldn’t give an answer, so she said, "Edie, there is no if, Marina could never show up, your hypothesis is meaningless, it would only put my brother in an awkward situation."

"Awkward situation..." Edie suddenly recalled what happened at the one-hundredth anniversary, and he chose to protect Hicks. He was in an awkward situation at the time too.

So... he had made his decision long ago.

Edie’s heart dropped at once. She could escape reality for now, but she couldn’t escape it forever. Maybe, it was time to face the truth.

Edie closed her eyes slowly, her tears coursed down her cheeks freely. She wiped them away, unyieldingly, and walked to the door of her own accord. Her peaceful heart became terrified again as she grabbed the door handle. Finally, she clenched her jaw, and just when she was about to open the door, the entire door was uninstalled from the outside. Before Edie could make a move, she could already feel the cold wind blowing across her face.

There was a tall and fit man standing outside the door.

Brittany was totally shocked by what just happened, she ran towards the door and exclaimed, "Bro! You...you went too far; you destroyed my door, you have to pay me back!"

But Stuart could not hear or see anyone, and he could only see Edie.

He gazed at her, and she was gazing back too.

As if making a big decision, she clenched her jaw and said, "Do you have something to tell me? Just say it, I can take it..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the man dashed to her, then walked towards the elevator with her hand. No one dared to stop him.

His hand was icy cold, but she had no time to ask him what happened, "Stuart, where are you taking me?"

"Home," Stuart said rigidly. freēwēbnovel.com

Home...

Is that place still her home?

Edie’s mouth curved into a bitter smile, then stopped talking.

Afterall... the worst scenario wasn’t as hard to take as she imagined; she had nothing to be scared of.

Stuart pulled her into the car, and then the driver drove away in silence.

On the way home, Edie had questions in mind but didn’t know how to start the conversation, so she decided to keep quiet. After they got home, Stuart held her hand and dragged her to their bedroom. As soon as they entered the bedroom, Stuart released her hand and closed the door.

Edie didn’t know how to face him, and she turned her back to him to not look at him. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly wrapped his arm around her. It was then she finally noticed his whole body was ice cold, his chest was pressing against her back, she felt as if he was one big block of ice. She winced hard, just when she was about to turn around, his hugged her tighter, he said softly, "Why did you leave, do you know how worried I was ?"

"I’m... sorry..." She wanted to explain at first, but only shrugged and apologized at last.

"You and Marina... I heard your conversation with Hicks, so she is still alive." When she said Marina’s name out loud, she could not suppress the feeling of bitterness, so she said her other name.

If she was so open to the conversation, would Stuart say, "Sorry, I choose Hicks" or something like that?

Just when she was still making blind and disorderly conjectures, the man behind her spoke, "Sorry..."

That moment, Edie’s heart was stabbed hard; she felt as if all the blood in her vessel had solidified. Her nose twitched and almost cried.

Just as she guessed...

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to act easy, "I see, it would be a difficult choice to make to anyone, you don’t have to give me a goodbye hug, I’m not as fragile as you think. We can still be friends if not a couple, no need to make a big fuss about it."

"What are you saying?" Stuart winced and said in a cold voice.

"I know it’s hard for you, you are afraid of hurting me, but that’s ok, I’m very strong! Actually Hicks is a nice person, she is pretty, you two know each other well, I will be happy for you guys if you get together... but, can you let go of me, I still have luggage to pack, come find me in city A when you have time, so we can... get our"

Before the words "Divorce Certificate" left Edie’s throat, a kiss full on her lips without warning.
