Chapter 540: Chapter 540: I Am His Elder Brother
She didn’t detect the shyness under Chandler’s actions.
However, Aaron detected it.
He narrowed his eyes and scolded Stuart in his heart.
Damn it, Stuart is such a useless man. If things go on like this, Edie will be lured by other people!
Aaron took a long leap and stopped in front of Edie, with a subservient smile on his lips, and he said, "It’s not Edie baby who is picking paintings, it’s me. You don’t need to be polite to me. I’ll pay for the painting."
"Miss Lara, this is? " Chandler looked at Aaron doubtfully, acutely catching his unusual nickname for Edie.
Edie baby? Such an intimate nickname. What’s their relationship?
"He’s my brother in law. He’s fond of painting. So I want to buy him a set of painting tools."
"I see, "Chandler answered before Aaron said a word.
Aaron was pissed off.
He was the second son of the Yates. Everyone was frightened. Chandler dared to ridicule him. What a bastard.
He decided to teach him a lesson.
"I am her elder brother. "
"All right. I am Edie’s boyfriend... no, sorry, I am Edie’s male friend. Sorry, I almost forget." Chandler showed a perfect smile.
"What?" Aaron never saw anyone more shameless than him. He failed to find a word for fighting back.
Realized something wrong between Aaron and Chandler, Edie said, "what’s wrong with you? Do you still want to show me around? If you can talk to each other directly, I agree. I can leave you alone."
"Wait, stay with me, "Aaron caught her wrist and stared at Chandler bitterly. Then, he walked towards the shelf, displaying those painting tools."
Actually, it’s been quite a long time since he painted last time. But he didn’t want to disappoint Edie’s kindness. It took them a whole afternoon to select.
Though Edie stayed with Aaron this afternoon, she couldn’t focus on anything.
Stuart didn’t ask her about her address. He didn’t even call her to check whether she received the message. All he said in the message was that he would pick her up at seven o’clock this evening.
But he didn’t even know where she was. How could he find her?
Or...
Does he text the wrong girl?
Edie thought it was more likely that he sent a wrong message to her. So she decided to set the message aside. She didn’t want to harbor any hopes. She didn’t want to be hurt anymore.
When she walked out of the store with Aaron and walked towards the car, a black Rolls-Royce parked got in their way.
It was... Stuart.
He really came here.
Edie froze. She didn’t know what he was doing here.
The man sat in the car and gave Edie a hand, "Get in"
Edie stared at his hand. She didn’t know what the man in front of her was thinking about. She didn’t dare to give him her hand.
What if he threw her away again? It was from Julia yesterday. Luckily Edie knew this woman. What if it was a crazy man that wanted to rape her?
Since when she couldn’t trust Stuart anymore?
"What do you want?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Don’t worry. I won’t sell you to anyone. Get in now."
Edie looked towards Aaron. She wanted to ask him for help/
Aaron smiled, "don’t worry, dear. If he dared to do anything to you, I would burn him out of the heart."
Edie felt relieved a little bit.
Seeing this, Stuart looked angrier.
She trusted Aaron more than him now.
Suddenly Stuart reminded Aaron’s words this noon.
"Since you’ve already betrayed her, I would chase her. I can tell you now. Remember this. If you betray her, I will let her betray you totally."
Aaron already seeks after Edie.
Stuart frowned. He couldn’t stand Edie’s asking advice from other men. So he held her hands directly and dragged her into his arms.
Edie felt his unique smell.
Stuart told her in a cold and different voice before she realized, "don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you. I just want you to attend a party."
Edie got completely confused.
Party?
What party?
She didn’t hear anything about the party.
"What party?" she got away from his arms and stared at him confusingly.
"L.N renewed the contract with Anderson Jewelry. So they held a party and invited me to attend with my wife," he said indifferently.
Edie pressed her lips, "So, it was Anderson Jewelry that required you to do this?"
"..."
Stuart didn’t answer her question. He looked out of the window.
Edie felt sad. She took a deep breath.
He already forgot her. If Anderson Jewelry didn’t ask him to attend the party with her, he wouldn’t remember her.
But Edie forgot that Anderson never dared to require Stuart to do anything he didn’t want to do.
"Does....does Hicks know this?"
"If you could divorce me, she would attend the party with me."
Stuart said in a cold voice. He didn’t even throw her an eye.
Edie didn’t know how to describe her feeling at the moment. Actually, she didn’t feel anything now.
She already got used to these words.
She was all right.
She felt satisfactory as long as he allowed her to stand asides her.
Finally, they parked in front of a gown store. They came here before. The door was decorated with a glazed lamp. It was gorgeous.
Standing in front of the store, Edie recalled something.
She came here with Scarlet last time. She got drunk. Stuart got angry.
He punished her.
The punishment was a kiss.
Edie smiled. Her smiled looked bitter and sweet.
Stuart saw that he asked her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Though he didn’t say any sweet words, he sounded really concerned about her.
But he was not aware of that.
Edie was immersed in her memory, so she didn’t notice the difference in his voice, "I still remember you drove me here last time. But you must forget everything about me. Never mind, hurry up." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Edie wanted to hold his hands. But he didn’t give her his hands.
Edie suddenly felt embarrassed, "sorry, I almost forgot you’ve fallen in love with another girl. Sorry."
