Chapter 679: Chapter 679: It Smelt So Good And Pure
Edie was standing at the door. Seeing what happened in Laty’s bedroom, she felt so warm. Laty finally got rid of loneliness now.
But, was it really okay for her to throw all those barbie dolls away?
"It is your design. I didn’t change a little bit."
"I will be with you forever from now on. We could teach Laty together. We would find the best way to bring her up. Edie, she is our only child."
"Don’t you want one more? The country policy encourages us to have one more child now."
It was Edie’s dream. She wanted two children, one cat, and one dog.
When the sunset, she would take a walk with her children and husband. She would lead the dog while Stuart held the car in his arms.
"No. I am scared. I am worried that I would lose you again."
Stuart held Edie’s hands tightly. He recalled the scene five years ago when she lay on the bed, dying slowly.
It was his nightmare. A terrible nightmare for him forever.
He didn’t want to go through that nightmare again.
Hearing these words, Edie was deeply touched at the bottom of the heart. She held his hands tightly and laughed, "I won’t leave you again. You won’t lose me again. I have promised to you. I would stay with you from now on. No matter what happens, I would not leave you again."
No matter what she would cost, she wouldn’t leave him again.
Soon, Sophie’s parents arrived at the house with some gifts. After enjoying the lunch happily, Sophie’s father needed to go to work, so he took two kids to the school.
Before he walked out of the house, he suddenly caught Stuart’s hands and said in a serious tone, "Buddy, I’ve learned much more about play card after I lost you so much money last time. I’ve got the essence. Now I believe I can win you, at least eighty percent. I wouldn’t lose that much money anymore."
"Okay, then play a card this weekend?"
"Great. That is so great. Call me then. Goodbye."
Edie heard their conversation. She couldn’t help herself rolling her eyes.
After Sophie’s parents left, Edie said,
"Stuart, seriously? Don’t forget you’re still the CEO of the L.N. group. If the board of directors knew you were playing card with them here, they would be really shocked."
"Them? But I think it is an ordinary life. See, we live in this house, feed fish and water flowers. Go to work every day and invite friends sometimes. Then pick up our child after school. Then we could watch T.V. on the sofa together."
"And travel on vacation, wait in line when shopping in the supermarket, like ordinary people without privilege. Are you really willing to live such a kind of life with me?"
Edie smiled. Her eyes curved like a crescent moon, which was shining with light.
It was the light in her eyes that lid his world of darkness and loneliness, making his boring life become more and more enjoyable. Because of her, his world became interesting. Because of her, he managed to get rid of the tiredness of his life.
This was exactly what he wanted to live like ordinary people. freeweɓnøvel.com
"If I am not the CEO of the group, I am not rich, I have no secretary that would take care of everything in my daily life, I don’t wear a suit and drive a luxurious car, If I become an ordinary man, do you still want to get married to me?"
"Stuart, before today, you were helping me all the time. Now it is my turn. Let me help you. Let me support you. I have a good salary and a good reputation. Are you willing to give up your career and let me support you?"
"Our daughter’s last name is the same as yours. Others might also believe I am really the kind of man, depending on his wife. So, I think I really need to depend on you now," Stuart laughed out.
"I don’t mind. You can rely on me. See, this house is mine. Our daughter is mine. You are also mine. Isn’t it so great?"
She approached him and kissed on his face slightly, "Now, I have stamped on you. You can no longer escape away."
"Stamped? No, this is not how others stamp. Let me teach you."
Before Edie held her body back, Stuart buckled her head with one hand and caught her slim waist with the other hand. Then he started kissing her, crazily.
No one was in the house now except them. Stuart kept kissing. He got hotter and hotter. He held her body directly and placed her on the sofa.
The kiss never ended.
Edie finally understood the so-called "Luxury leads to sex."
She really made a mistake. She shouldn’t have kissed him. She forgot he’s been starving for a long time. He could be aroused by her so easily.
He kissed her ears and asked her in a slight voice, "Do you want to visit the vice President? She was really guilty these years."
As Edie was almost aroused, Stuart suddenly said these words. All of a sudden, she calmed herself down, like being poured by a bowl of cold water above her head.
She opened her eyes. Her eyes turned clear gradually, "visit the vice President?"
Looking at her pale face, Stuart immediately held her hands tightly, "Since you’ve decided to get married to me, we need to face those things together. I need to apologize to her. She’s done a lot for me. Now, since we’ve been together again, we need to visit her. You need to call her your mother-in-law, don’t you think so?"
"Edie, could you do this? For me."
Edie’s hands keep trembling.
She kept hesitating.
For him, she had to forgive her. She had to forget everything she’s done to her mother. For Stuart, she had to get rid of her hatred.
She kept struggling. Finally, she put her hands down and raised her eyes. She smiled towards him with tears in her eyes and said in a slight voice,
"Actually, I have got a complaint from her before. I think it is so unfair. My mother ruined her entire life and her family because of a mistake. She also ruined her reputation. She sacrificed herself to make the Greg raise me up. My grandpa treated me well partially because he also felt guilty. I suffered a lot in Greg’s. My father never threw an eye on me. My sister hated me. But I am lucky. I meet you, Donald and you, Stuart. I am lucky enough. Now...I am satisfied. I treasure all these. I don’t want to hate anyone anymore. I can forget that hatred."
"Stuart, let’s make peace, with the Yates, with people that hurt us before. From now on, we could live our life, regardless of others’ comments on us. Okay?"
"Okay," he kissed on her forehead gently, with his deep love for her.
"Whatever you say, I agree."
He kissed her and continued the thing that they didn’t finish several minutes ago.
Three days later, it was Edie’s grandpa’s date of mourning. Edie went to the graveyards with Laty and Stuart to pray in front of the old Greg.
It has been five years...
She came back again.
She was such an unnatural granddaughter.
She didn’t come until the Greg’s left. She saw those flowers and fruits in front of the tomb. Edie took the old Greg’s favorites, the tea.
She poured the tea out of the cup. It was a morning in the autumn. The smell of dewdrop was mixed in the fragrance of the tea.
It smelt so good and pure.
"Grandpa, it is me. This is my daughter. I didn’t name her the Greg. Please forgive me for this, grandpa. Laty, come on, say hi to your grand grandpa."
"Grand grandpa."
"If he knows you are still alive, he would be thrilled."
"Thank you, Stuart, thank you for visiting him these years for me. I really appreciate it."
"We are family. I am your husband. This is my responsibility."
Yes,
Indeed.
They were families.
