Chapter 771: Chapter 771: She Wanted To Know
After getting dressed, Marina stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in a red wedding dress. She smiled so happily.
Stuart wore a suit. Seeing the expression on Marina’s face, he said, "You like it, right? I can choose one for me."
"No. You can still wear your suit. I don’t want the same as Edie. Please satisfy my little request."
"Okay, as you wish."
Stuart said in an indifferent voice. He held her body and approached the mirror.
"Beautiful?" Marina asked him with expectations. Even her face was still covered with those ugly scars, and she looked so happy. The happiness on her face made her look cordial and pretty at the moment.
"Yes. Gorgeous."Stuart answered gently, raising a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Do you like it?" Marina asked him.
Hearing this question, Stuart fell into silence.
The smile on Marina’s face turned bitter slightly. But she hid her feeling behind immediately. "I mean, do you like the dress?"
"Yes, gorgeous."
"Okay. I want this one. Pay the bill. I want to enjoy it for a while."
"Okay."
Stuart never said too many words in front of her. Marina knew Stuart became talkative now. But he was only willing to talk to Edie.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she reminded her she had also dreamed of dressing like a bride before those terrifying things happened. She didn’t dare to think about that dream after those nightmares happened to her. She never expected that this really happened to her today.
She was finally a bride now. Though she had no husband, she still felt quite satisfied.
She walked into the fitting room and took off the wedding dress carefully. Then she folded up the clothes. Tears slowly poured down from her eyes.
"Tomorrow, I would wear you to attend my own wedding."
Finally, Marina smiled.
Next day.
Marina got up quite early. She wanted to wear her makeup to make her look more energetic.
The wedding was quite simple. After Marina got ready, the godfather escorted her to Stuart. That was the plan.
After Marina finished her makeup, she saw herself in the mirror. She loved it. But she still took off the wedding dress and packed it up in the present box. Then she took the box in her hands and left.
She left in silence from the back door of the church. She drove Stuart’s car towards the center of the city.
After twenty minutes, she arrived at the door of Edie’s house.
She gathered all courage to knock on the door. The door was opened in seconds. It was Edie that opened the door for her.
Seeing Marina, Edie froze for a while. It took her for quite a while to make a proper reaction.
"What? You don’t welcome me?"
"No. Come in, please," Edie replied immediately.
After inviting Marina in, Edie couldn’t think of a word to say to her because she had a lot of questions to ask Marina.
What happened to her? Where has she been these days? What about Stuart? Was he staying with her these days?
Edie didn’t dare to ask her. She was afraid that Marina’s answers might hurt her.
As she grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously and sweating on the forehead, Marina started talking, solving all her confusion.
"Stuart didn’t die. I didn’t die. Both us escaped away from the explosion. But we were severely injured. Stuart sent me to the hospital immediately. We lived together these days. Now we are going to get married to each other."
Marina said and showed a smile. This smile might be the most brutal one Edie had ever seen.
Hearing these words, Edie was extremely shocked. She fell into the sofa.
She was too shocked to express herself fluently, "But he....he has gotten married to me. How could he get married to you?"Edie said in a trembling voice.
"L.N had announced his death. You even prepared a tomb for him. Now you are nothing more than a widow. Stuart is free now, isn’t he?"
Hearing these words, Edie felt really bitter at the bottom of her heart.
She never expected that it was herself that made them unite with each other.
Edie forced herself to hold all her tears back. Her nails inserted deeply into her flesh. She felt so painful at the heart that she could not feel the pain in her palm.
She told herself over and over again not to cry out, no matter whether Marina came to show off in front of her as a winner or not.
She widened her black eyes and looked towards Marina, pretending to be peaceful, "What about you? What are you doing here?"
She heard her voice was still trembling.
At present, her nerve was tightly fastened. She might break down at any moment. Though, she still tried her best to control herself. Seeing this, Marina felt sorry for her. But she still kept pretending in front of Edie. She took an invitation card to her and said, "This is the invitation to our wedding. I hope you would come."
Hearing these words, Edie suddenly wanted to burst into laughter.
"Marina, are you kidding me? You are going to get married to the man I love the most. And you come here to invite me to your wedding. I know you’ve sacrificed a lot for Stuart. It is totally reasonable for him to decide to get married to you. But you should not do this to me. This is too much."
Edie was just an ordinary girl. Marina’s behavior was like inserting a knife into her heart deeply.
Hearing these words, Marina shrugged her shoulder casually and said in a relaxing voice, "Don’t you want to ask him? We would leave here after we get married. You would not be able to see him again after that. You have only one chance. I give you this chance. It depends on you now."
These words went through Edie’s ears, like a magic voice.
Don’t you want to ask him?
Of course, she wanted.
She kept dreaming of this.
What Stuart hides himself away from her? Was it because of Marina? Then why did he save her several days ago? Why did he monitor her life? Why could he abandon his wife and his daughter? Why could he just disappear...
She wanted to know.
She wanted to ask him about all these.
Looking at the invitation card on the desk, Edie finally made a decision. She clenched her teeth and lifted the invitation card with her trembling hands.
"Okay, I can go with you."
As she was about to leave with Marina, Marina said, "Don’t you want to wear makeup? Don’t be too embarrassed while losing." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Hearing these words, Edie laughed at herself, "Whatever. I don’t care. I have already lost, haven’t I?"
"Whatever. Let’s go then."
Edie followed Marina to the church.
When seeing the church at a distance, Edie felt her heart was aching hard.
Was she really going to attend the wedding of a strange woman and her own husband?
When Edie got off the car, she found herself not able to move a little bit, as if her feet were pressed by a heavy stone.
"What’s up? We’ve arrived. Don’t you dare to come in?"
Edie heard Marina’s laugh again. It seemed that Marina was laughing at Edie’s uselessness.
Edie felt her heart was burning out at the moment.
She dared to do everything. Even Marina dated with Stuart before, and even Marina has sacrificed a lot for Stuart, even Stuart felt guilty for her.
Edie did nothing wrong.
She didn’t hurt anyone. Why should she be hurt?
Even Marina didn’t owe her anything, Stuart did.
This time, Edie came here to ask for an explanation from Stuart. She dared to do this. It was totally reasonable.
