You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Strange Woman

"Stuart... if you want to spoil me all the time, promise me don’t leave me. I’ve changed. I would be naughty. I would be emotional. I would be centered around you, and I would be reckless. I would be arbitrary. So please promise me. Never ever leave me. Otherwise, I need to take a long time to adapt myself to a new life. I am...no longer that strong...."

She started sobbing when saying the sentence out.

Her words shocked Stuart. Seeing such a small weak little woman in his arms, his heart started aching.

"I want to say the same. I promise I would not let you go again. Never."

He said word by word, in a slow and flat voice. But Edie could feel his determination and faith.

This was the first time for Stuart to ask him what she liked.

Then he kept her words in his heart.

What did she like about you? What clothes did she like? What place did she like to go? He knew all these from their daily life.

But he didn’t know what movie she liked, what books she liked, what she liked to think about when staying alone.

They still had a long time to go. He kept all those things in mind. Then he could carry them into practice one by one.

It was the first time for Edie to request Stuart to do something with her since she came back.

"I want you to visit my photographing exhibition once to see how I look when I am focusing on working."

Everyone in love wanted to show their lover the best side of them.

She has seen how he looked while he was working.

She had seen how he looked while he was cooking.

She also saw when he was thrown into danger and embarrassment.

She saw a lot about him. Now she also wanted him to look at her. She also wanted him to learn about her job. Edie was enthusiastic about her career. When holding her camera, she felt she was in her own kingdom.

But he never saw that.

She wanted him to see it. Stuart immediately agreed. He had no plan today. So he agreed to visit the photographing exhibition and go to the periodical office and all the places she liked.

Edie held her European landscape photographing exhibition at the Cultural Exhibition Centre, a place for cultural exchange. Apart from her photography exhibition, there were also several art galleries and art museums.

The whole decoration is based on silent, simple black and white. The ceiling was designed with a wooden structure, and the light is warm and yellow. The atmosphere here was very comfortable.

Each photograph was signed below.

Miss Yates.

Miss Stuart Yates.

Finally, this name got its meaning.

Stuart held her hands tightly and admired those photographs.

He had to acknowledge that Edie had a gift in art. When she was an actress, she would make every character she played vividly on the screen. When she was a photographer, she could take those excellent photos.

She was quite good at photographing, composition, and color selection. But all the photos looked isolated and lonely.

These pictures were not taken at the same time. It was a collection of her works. She spent those five years taking those pictures. She took those pictures one by one carefully and then selected the best out.

Each one was great. They were all colorful blooming blossoms. They all withered and fell at the last moment.

When the manager recognized Edie, he took her away. He told Edie he needed to tell her something.

So Stuart remained to wait for her.

She noticed five pictures at the corner. The name of that series was Missing.

Stuart could see the face of the model in the pictures. All he could see was his body shape.

Under the light of sunset, the man’s shadow was stretched out. Looking at the picture, Stuart couldn’t help himself feel depressed.

He knew it was him in those pictures.

One picture per year. She left him for five years. So there were five pictures in the series.

She was missing him all the time, in those five years.

Stuart touched those pictures with his trembling fingers. The glass frame was cold. So were his fingers.

At the moment, one woman suddenly hit him. He accidentally waved his hands and pushed the frame. The frame slipped down from the wall.

Bang...

The glass crashed on the ground.

Stuart furrowed his eyebrows. He immediately took the picture out of the frame carefully. He didn’t even notice those glass pieces cutting his fingers.

"Who are you?" Stuart said in a cold voice and turned around.

She saw a bent woman trembling in front of him. She cuddled her body into a heap and buried her head deeper into the hat as if she was so afraid of being seen by strangers. She covered her face with her hands.

She didn’t dare to raise her head. So she kept staring at the floor. She didn’t expect she saw a drop of blood,

It was fallen from Stuart’s hand.

Was he hurt?

At that moment, the woman got worried. She raised her eyes, seeing Stuart’s fingers’ bleeding. All of a sudden, she lost her control. She couldn’t help herself holding Stuart’s hands and said, frёewebηovel.cѳm

"You are bleeding. Wrap the wound immediately."

She took a Band-Aid out of her pocket and applied it to Stuart’s hand.

Stuart froze for a moment. Because when this strange woman held his hand, he didn’t push her away. On the contrary, he felt quite comfortable.

But he immediately felt something wrong.

He took his hand back and said in a cold voice, "No need. Watch out next time."

Though Stuart was angry, his voice sounded less sharp than he expected.

At the moment, those workers came to clean up those glass pieces.

"Hi, these works have been damaged. We’ve seen you caused this from the monitor. Our manager would arrive soon. Please wait here."

When hearing these words, the woman got nervous immediately.

She didn’t want to come here at all. It was Julia that forced her to come here. She was disguised to be a guard and pushed to Stuart.

She could not stay here for one more second. If Stuart recognized her, all things happened that years could be uncovered completely.

Now he had a wholly new life. This was perfect. She didn’t want to destroy his life.

The woman panicked. She lowered her head and pushed those workers away, like a neuropathy. She tumbled towards the door.

But the guards were waiting for her at the door.

The woman frowned. She changed her direction and ran towards the lady’s room.

The workers rushed to her immediately.

After receiving the manager’s message, Edie also walked to the lady’s room.

"Miss Yates, that woman was hiding in there. We’ve called our maintenance staff to open the door..."

"No need. She just broke a glass frame. Fix it. I don’t think we should blame her."

"But...that woman is so suspicious. We haven’t seen her face on the monitor. Look."

The manager showed Edie the video from the monitor. Edie saw a man and a woman walking into the zone. The woman was trembling all the way she came in. When they walked into a corner of the zone, the man pushed the woman all of a sudden, thus the accident just now.

This woman...

Looked quite familiar.
