Chapter 453: Chapter 453: I’m Here For You
After health check-up, Stuart asked, "How can you get pregnant more easily?"
"..."
The elderly doctor was blushing, Edie’s too. The redness on her faces had spread to her neck.
The doctor coughed light6yly, "That... It is a complicated question, young man. Come here, I’ll tell you! You’re both in good health conditions. It’s easy to get pregnant at this age. So you have to be aware of the position during sexual intercourse and also the date. I will tell you about my experience. I got my children like this, first of all..."
Edie listened and wished there was a slit in the ground for her to hide in.
Stuart has been too bold. He asked the doctor so bluntly, couldn’t he just check it up online himself?
Finally, the doctor passed on his personal experience, patted Stuart on the shoulder, and said with great emphasis, "I hope when I see you again, you will be parents already!"
"We will."
Stuart answered firmly.
Edie was beside him, and her head was ashamed to be raised.
They both walked out of the hospital, and her face was red all the way.
When they had just arrived home, they unexpectedly met Donald at the door, since the last parting, she had not seen him for a long time.
"Donald? Why is he here?" Edie said puzzledly and then made Stuart stop and let her get off the car. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Stuart stopped the car, Edie unfastened her seat belt, just when she was about to open the door and leave the car, Stuart suddenly held her hand.
His big hand... Were trembling slightly.
"Stuart?" Edie looked at him in surprise.
He looked deeply at Edie. There were emotions in his eyes that she could not understand. It seemed that... was he being afraid of something?
"Are you ok?"
"I’m fine. Remember to come back earlier, I... I’ll drive to the garage and wait for you in the living room." He slowly loosened Edie’s hand with his trembling fingers.
Actually...
He wanted to ask her to stay, but he didn’t want to deprive Edie of her right to choose.
He watched Edie get out of the car. The delicate figure was deeply engraved in his eyes.
He wanted to rush down and hug Edie tightly and stop Donald’s nonsense, but in the end, he stayed in the car and did nothing.
Donald was surprised to see Edie. He thought that Stuart would stop her. But instead, Stuart did not only let her come to see him but also left them alone to give them space.
As Edie came towards him, his heart started beating violently.
Seeing her seemed to be the only way to prove that he was still alive.
"Edie." He forbore the throb of love in his heart and stood in front of her without any excessive action.
Because he could see that Edie was very happy, so happy that even if he forcibly intervenes, nothing would change.
He felt bitter, but he was satisfied to see her smile.
"Why are you here? Are you here to talk to Stuart about business? He went to park his car. Come in."
Just when she was about to pass through the carved iron gate, Donald’s voice suddenly came from behind her, "I’m here for you."
"For me?" She turned around and pointed at herself in surprise.
Donald nodded firmly.
"If I told you that Stuart approached you from the beginning with an ulterior motive, would you leave him?"
When Edie heard this, her heart trembled slightly. She did not understand why Donald suddenly asked her this.
Then, Donald’s next sentence, like a bomb, exploded in her mind.
"Edie, I remember you now. I remember the feeling of those five years. Although I still can’t remember the exact events, I know that those five years really existed. I love you, and you... used to love me too."
When Donald said these words, his mouth could not help but raise a bitter smile, looking at the startled look on Edie’s face, his heart ached slightly.
In the end, he still said it.
Edie was just shocked for a moment. Then she gently stirred up a smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "Donald... Actually, I hope that you don’t remember anything. It’s not fair for Joanna or me."
"Not fair? How can it be unfair? For you, it’s the fairest!" Donald was a little stunned when he heard the answer; he raised his voice and said emotionally.
And she just smiled, tugged her hair behind her ear, and looked at him firmly, "I tried to convince you and make you remember, but you didn’t, you and Joanna were very happy together. Now, I have found my happiness too. Isn’t that good? Now, what you say can’t change anything. It’s unfair to you and Joanna."
"So... Even if I remember everything, you still love Stuart, don’t you?
Even though the answer had been made clear in his mind, it still tore his heart and lungs when he asked the question.
Under his gaze, Edie nodded firmly.
He finally raised a bitter smile and said, "If I tell you that the reason I can’t be with you is because of Stuart, would you believe it?"
"How can it be related to Stuart?" She was slightly surprised and confused.
Donald heard the words, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more painful.
"Yes, how could it be related to him? I didn’t expect either. You and I have been together for five years. You should know my place in Hawks Real Estate. You know everything about me, my glory, and ugliness. In fact, even if I didn’t marry Joanna, I couldn’t marry you, because of my low status, I couldn’t control my own marriage, I love you, but I couldn’t marry you."
These words made Edie a little upset.
After all, those five years did happen. She devoted her love, but... the ending was not a good one.
They were once the most important people to each other, but now... one forgot the other, the other... choose someone else.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart ached for both her and Donald.
She clenched her fists to stop the feeling of impending collapse, and yelled, "Stop it. What’s the point of saying all this now?"
"Of course there is a point because if my father hadn’t helped the Madame Yates and died here, Hawks Real Estate would not have been in the hands of my adoptive mother. That way... I could marry you, too."
Donald was somewhat emotionally unstable, clasping her shoulder with her big hand and shouting.
"You, what do you mean by that?" Her heart hung tightly, and she could not believe what she had just heard.
Seeing her avoiding eye contact with him, his heart ached.
His words were so clear, but she loved Stuart so much and was unwilling to think further or understand his words.
