Free Web NovelChapter 553: Chapter 553: Joanna’s Lies
Luckily all employees have already left the company now. No one would see their president being blocked at the door of his office. It looked really an award.
Mr. Bates forced a bitter smile, "Madam Bette asked us to break your leg if you refuse. She’s already called the doctor for you."
Stuart got angrier.
He knew her. She would do this. She dared to do this.
She got in the way in his plan.
But Stuart didn’t get angry inside. At least, now he could pretend to be forced to stay with Edie.
"Okay."
Mr. Bats took relief. He’s too old to get involved in their fight.
After getting in the car, Mr. Bates continued,
"Madam Bette also said she would pick you up from now on, 6 o’clock pm. She will break your leg if you refuse."
"What else did she say? "Stuart felt a headache.
Mr. Bates swallowed saliva and went on, "She asked you to sleep with your wife, otherwise...."
"Break my leg again? Stuart raised his eyebrows.
How many legs did he have?
Mr. Bates smiled bitterly, "Yes...."
Stuart didn’t show any expression on his face, "What about Edie? What’s she doing this afternoon?"
"She’s so happy. She’s cleaned the house, every corner. Madam Bette’s already thrown all Miss’s Day’s stuff out. Miss Day’s house’s already been changed into a warehouse."
Was she happy? Great.
Stuart’s eyes turned gentle.
Soon, they arrived at the villa. All doors were installed as if nothing ever happened here today.
It was at 11 o’clock. The light was still on in the living room. He knew Edie was waiting for him.
Mr. Bates already left. He didn’t need to hide his feeling now.
Stuart walked to the sofa, staring at the girl in the pajama. She was sleeping on the sofa, like a little cat.
She was in a good mood today. So she slept well tonight. Stuart could see the smile on her sleeping face.
She slept so deeply that she didn’t wake up when Stuart held her in his arms.
The man walked to their bedroom carefully.
All her stuff was taken into the warehouse before. But today they were all taken in their bedroom as if nothing happened. freёwebnovel.com
He adjusted the bed’s temperature to warm the bed.
It was in autumn. It was still a little cold inside.
When the bed got warm, he placed her body into the quilt.
As he wanted to turn around to take a shower, Edie suddenly held his hand and murmured, "don’t.... don’t leave me..."
She said in a low voice, like sobbing.
Stuart recalled how he tortured his wife these days.
Looking at her sleeping face, Stuart bowed his body and rubbed her hair gently.
"Idiot. Why are you so tough? It would be much easier if you agree with the divorce. Please forgive me, my love. I couldn’t tell you everything because that man wouldn’t believe me if you are not going to suffer. Silly girl, I’ve always been worried that you would fall in love with another man after we divorce. Why do you insist? Do you know how much pain I feel right now ?"
He placed her hand on his chest.
His heart was beating fast for this girl.
His heart was burning for her.
He felt so painful these days.
But he couldn’t tell anyone.
The room fell into silence.
Stuart lowered his body and kissed his wife.
Tears stream down from his eyes while kissing Edie’s sleeping form.
"Edie, I love you so much, but I can’t risk putting your life in danger. I have our baby in your tummy that I need to protect too. If only I can easily do all of these, I definitely won’t let us suffer and apart from each other. Honey, I wish I could take you back into my life one day, and we live a peaceful,"
The night went by quickly.
In the morning,
When Edie opened her eyes, she didn’t see anyone else.
When she saw the quilt and pillow on the sofa, she realized Stuart slept on the couch last night. freewebnovel.cσ๓
She was a little disappointed. But she cheered up immediately. She needed to do a pregnancy check-up today.
Bette had something to deal with in the cooperation. So Edie didn’t need to tell her.
Ivan waited for her early in the morning and drove her to the hospital,
The doctor was Ivan’s friend. He would Edie keep the secret.
Edie didn’t write her real name on the medical record sheet.
"The baby is still quite small. Look here."
Edie saw a small point on the screen. She didn’t believe it was her baby.
"So ugly? "Edie asked.
Ivan was amused, "Mrs. Yates, the baby is just one-month-old. Don’t worry, and it must be a beautiful baby because its parents are both gorgeous."
"Yes, you don’t have to worry about this. Check again after two weeks. It would grow up."
"The baby’s condition is stable at present, much better than last time. But progesterone level is still a little low. I would give you some medicine...."
Edie carefully listened to the doctor. She didn’t want to miss any important message.
After the examination, she talked about the pregnancy with the doctor and waited for Ivan.
When Ivan bought medicine downstairs, he watched a piece of shocking news on the screen in the hall.
It was Donald’s wife, Joanna.
She was crying in front of those media and screamed out,
"I want to tell you the truth today. I didn’t go abroad on vacation. My husband locks me in the house because I accidentally found his affair with Edie." Joanna started creating lies.
"Edie? Are you talking about Mrs. CEO of L.N. group?" the reporter asked her.
Though the report about the party last time was blocked, most people in this circle heard.
When hearing Edie’s name, Joanna cried more painfully. Deep in her eyes was extreme hatred.
"Exactly. Edie, Greg’s adopted daughter, and Mr. Yates’s wife. She is a slut. After getting married to Mr. CEO, she’s still seducing my husband. They still kept the affair."
