Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The Man Who Loved Her Has Gone
Stuart’s gone. What could she do now?
His deep love had melted her strength. Like the best vinegar, his love had softened all her heart. Now she’s become a fragile girl. But...he had left.
The man who loved her has gone.
Nothing was worse than this for her.
Standing at the door, Aaron saw this. A bitter smile appeared on his weirdly beautiful face.
She missed Stuart. Now he could do nothing for her but standing there watching her.
Aaron stood there for a long time until Edie finally walked out.
Her eyes were reddened and swallowed. Though her belly was large, she looked so sickly slim.
Why did she lose too much weight?
"Are....are you all right?"
Aaron stood up immediately when seeing her walking out. He raised his hands and intended to comfort her. He wanted to touch her shoulder. But he was not brave enough.
He didn’t know why.
She stood in front of him, though, Aaron felt they were further and further away from each other.
Finally, he just rubbed his own head and said some words embarrassingly.
"I am fine. Don’t worry about me. I still conceive my baby. She was about to come into this world. You would be the uncle soon."
When mentioning the baby, Edie smiled. She raised the corner of her mouth and fixed her eyes on her belly. She looked more like a mother now.
When looking at her baby, her eyes would be shining, like the stars in the sky.
"I would be her uncle. It is too late. Are you hungry? I could make you some food," he rushed downstairs nervously.
Edie asked him behind, "Could you cook?"
Aaron didn’t dare to turn around. He knew he must look so embarrassed at this moment.
"Yes. Just so so."
Aaron went into the kitchen and started cooking. Though he started learning cooking several days ago, it was not so bad.
"Not bad."
Edie smiled and said.
"So bad. But eat some. Don’t starve yourself. I’ve employed a cook. She would come here tomorrow. Oh, I almost forgot. When was your expected date of birth?"
"On June 3rd. Next Saturday. Soon. I checked the baby’s condition the day before yesterday. She is quite healthy."
"Oh, it would be soon. So soon."
He felt the food was so awful.
After the dinner, when Edie walked towards her room to take some rest, Aaron caught her hand all of a sudden tightly.
She looked towards him confusingly.
"What’s up?"
"If...that room makes you think of him and immerse you in the sorrow, leave that room. If this house makes you sad, then leave this house. If this city, this country, makes you sad, then leave here. I can take you to leave, to wherever you want to go."
Aaron finally gathered courage and said these words out.
He raised his eyes. His black eyes were shining with light. When smiling, those eyes would be so charming.
She knew he cared about her all the time. But...she couldn’t respond to him.
Still, she smiled and said, "Great, but I couldn’t leave until my baby was born. Otherwise, I would be exhausted. That is also too bad for my baby."
"Did...did you say yes? You agree to leave here and restart your life, right?" Aaron confirmed it excitedly as a little child. He jumped up from the chair immediately. His face blushed because of the joy.
Edie nodded, "Yes. After the baby is born, I would end all these."
Then she took her hand back, said goodnight to Aaron, and left.
***
The next day, she asked Aaron to take her to visit Stuart in prison. But, though Stuart was a suspect, he attached great importance. Without Norman’s permission, no one could approach him. So, Edie had no choice but to visit the Leon’s again.
Looking at that dignified building and England flag flowing in the sky, Edie could feel that strict atmosphere here.
The lawn in front of the door had become the training field. Norman’s soldiers were training dogs there.
Aaron needed to park the car, so he asked her to take rest insides.
Edie wore the bracelet. No one dared to stop her. All those soldiers respected her.
When she walked to the door, unexpectedly, she heard a familiar voice. It was Bette.
When the maid wanted to tell her, Edie stopped her and said in a low voice, "wait for a moment." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Bette was talking to Norman.
"I believe you’ve already known why I came to you. You are smart. Let us be direct. What can I do to make you let my son go?"
"Quite impressive. Indeed you are a clever woman. But you used the wrong way to negotiate with me. Currently, I can kill your son anytime I want. If you really worry about him, I think you should be gentle to me."
Standing at the door, Edie could see the expression on Norman’s face. He looked so arrogant. Though he was smiling slightly, anyone looking at him at this moment would be frightened by his eagle-like eyes.
"L.N group doesn’t do anything dirty now. And I promise the group would make more contributions to society. Besides, we are more than willing to cooperate with the Leon’s and give you more profit. What do you say?"
"What?" Norman hesitated slightly.
"To be honest, the government was also so afraid of the Leon’s. I believe you also see some changes these years. You know the government is also targeting the Leon’s, right? If L.N aligned with the Leon’s, we would help you recapture the former glory and become the top royalty in England. Your family would share the glory forever. Isn’t this tempting enough for you?"
"What do you want? Stuart?"
Norman showed a profound smile.
If Bette said yes, then he would get a lot in this deal. Such a genius. He should have been a businessman instead of a soldier. He was really good at this.
As Norman fixed his eyes on the vice president, the vice president shook the head. freёwebnovel.com
"No?"
Norman was a little surprised.
"Then what do you want?"
"I want to shut up and keep a secret to yourself forever." the vice president’s eyes turned serious. Deep in her eyes were shining with frightening light.
"Secret?" Norma looked quite interested. He asked out of curiosity, "I am wondering what the secret is."
He already knew the secret, but he still asked.
"I know my brother is your man. I couldn’t get in touch with him. Obviously, he is in your place. As for what I’ve done to Ann Lara with Tammie, I need you to keep that secret forever."
"How do you get involved in this? I heard it was Tammie’s fault. He got used to doing everything in his own way. But he failed, throwing everyone in danger. It had nothing to do with you. You don’t have to cover your ex-husband’s crime at such cost. He is not worth it." Norman raised the corner of his mouth and made an evil smile.
"I have offered. All you should do is to agree or disagree. As for whether he is worthy or not, it is none of your business."
