You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: I Would Never Let You Down

Then, he buckled Edie’s slim waist, dragging her behind him. He stared at Norman angrily, "No matter what happened, it is between us. if you dare to hurt my girl again, I will force the Leon’s to pay, with your blood."

He said word by word. Every word sounded devastating.

The large living room was filled with the smoke of death all of a sudden.

Stuart was threatening him. And he never lied. He was serious. Norman knew that. Norman was so clear about that.

Norman put the gun down. He already said he wouldn’t shoot again if he didn’t kill Edie after he counted to three.

Edie was still alive. Norman didn’t plan to shoot again.

"Edie, you win. You don’t have to die now. But, Stuart, I won’t let you go. Your measurements have already threatened the government. Even if both of us suffered, I would stop you at any cost. You can handle Ellison alone. But you could never win my team. I don’t believe you can. You would die then. You couldn’t make any difference. Either you or she would die. You couldn’t make any difference. Don’t you think so?"

"No. He couldn’t die. It is me that should be killed," Edie said nervously.

Hearing these words, Stuart shouted out, "Edie, if you dare to say one more word, I would never forgive you."

Edie looked towards him. Her face was still wet from her tears.

Hearing their conversation, Norman burst into laughter, "So moved. Stuart, we are old friends. I can give you another choice. Do you want to know?"

Hearing these, Stuart raised the corner of his mouth, "I don’t think you could give me any good choice."

"Listen to me first. Based on my investigation, you haven’t registered your marriage. So you are not a couple, from a legal perspective. Therefore, you can get married to my sister. We can cooperate with each other. Then the government would not be so nervous. Marriage is not for real. You are still Edie’s husband. You can still live with Edie. But legally, you are one of Leon’s. What do you say about that?"

Norman made the last concession.

He was willing to sacrifice his sister’s happiness to satisfy them. Then, it depended on Stuart.

When hearing these words from Norman, Edie trembled slightly. She raised her cloudy eyes, looking towards Stuart.

It seemed...the best solution for them.

But the cost was.... she could never be Stuart’s wife legally.

However, this was the only way to protect him. She didn’t mind making this sacrifice. She didn’t mind.

"Stuart..."

She murmured his name. Stuart lowered his eyes, looking at her, holding her hands more tightly. His eyes looked cold and clear, "I have only one wife this life, it is Edie Lara."

Stuart said word by word.

Norman frowned and roared out angrily, "Stuart, don’t be too selfish. I’ve made my concession. Don’t be too greedy."

The atmosphere became so nervous between these two men.

It might explode the next moment.

When hearing his answer, Edie was not surprised at all.

If Stuart could give her up so easily, he wouldn’t wait for her for five years.

But...

She couldn’t find any better ways.

"Stuart, don’t be capricious. I don’t want anything happening to you. You also want to protect me, right. We can agree with Norman’s suggestion."

"Even you are wrong? Do you know what you might lose without a marriage certification?" Stuart asked her in a cold voice.

"It means that Laty would never be one of the Yates. She would never be acknowledged as one of the Yates. Besides, our marriage would be exposed one day, sooner or later. What would you do then? I can get married to another woman. What about you? Are you my mistress?"

"I know. I know all this. But stop fighting. Please, could you just stop?" Edie’s eyes were wet. She held Stuart in her arms tightly.

"Stuart, I can lose everything, except you. If you die, I will give up anything else, because those mean nothing to me. As long as you are alive, I can do anything. I don’t mind," she leaned against his chest, feeling his heart beating.

She was so afraid that she might not be able to hear this again.

Looking at the girl trembling in his arms, Stuart suddenly felt painful at the bottom of the heart.

He rubbed her long soft hair with his warm and big hands gently. Then he smiled.

"I would never let you down."

He has made his decision.

Norman’s pupils shrunk all of a sudden. He roared out, "So, you still want to set yourself against my family, right?"

"Norman, you are obliged to protect the benefit of the government. I am obliged to protect my wife. We have an obligation. You can ask me to give up. What if I ask you to give up? Stop saying this nonsense. If I can be moved by you, I would let you down, my old friend."

Norman was choked into silence with these words.

Frankly speaking, if Stuart said yes, he would look down upon him.

If Stuart said yes, he would not be qualified to be his opponent. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"Stuart, I heard you are good at shooting. I never missed a target with my gun. What about the competition? Let god decide."

"What if I win? What if you win?"

Stuart asked in a cold and low voice.

"If I win, you should stop what you are doing right now and maintain what it is now. If you win, the Leon’s will stop interfering with you. But you are not allowed to expand your business. Otherwise, even if I don’t stop you, others would stop you."

"Okay," Stuart straightened his back and accepted the challenge.

Norman threw an eye on Stuart and then turned around. He walked towards the shooting field in the yard.

"Wait here for me." freewёbnoνel.com

"Don’t...don’t leave me alone."

Edie shook her head. Tears poured out from her eyes. She bit her lips tightly. She felt extreme pain in her throat. Every word sounded so bitter and hard. It was so hard for her to wait here alone, anxiously. She couldn’t see anything happening to him. It was torturing her.

"Don’t worry. I won’t die. I will be back."

He wiped her tears away from her face with his warm fingers. Then he held her little hands tightly, "All you need is to wait here for me. Wait for me to take you back home."

Then, he loosened her hands and turned around.

She wanted to follow him, but two maids stopped her immediately.

"You are not allowed in, Miss."

"Stuart, don’t. Please, please don’t leave me alone."

But, no matter what she said, he didn’t turn towards her. His back was still bleeding. But he didn’t care. He just walked directly towards the shooting field.

She fell down painfully on the ground.

The floor was so cold.

She felt freezing as if she fell into the ice cube.

Stuart...

Please be alive.
