Chapter 776: Chapter 776: It Works On You
Hearing these words, Stuart pressed his lips and fell into silence.
"You don’t like these, right? But they haven’t sold roses you like. Those might arrive at their stores in two days. I couldn’t buy them until they arrived."
Stuart placed those roses on the table and said, "I would not throw them away. But you can throw them away yourself."
"Okay,"
Edie lifted those roses and then threw them into the trash bin at the door, "Satisfied?"
"Yes."
Hearing this answer, Edie got angrier.
Such a dumb. He didn’t even stop her. Did he really know how to apologize to others?
Edie was still angry with him, "If you have no words to tell me, please leave now. I should still look after the business here."
"I want to buy anything here."
"What do you want to buy?"
"Three hundred dollars. Pick up a set of painting tools."
"Okay."
Edie took his money and started selecting. Edie wanted to find several pennies for him. But he didn’t take it. Stuart took the painting tools and then turned around. Edie thought he would leave now.
She looked at him for a while and then looked away.
If Stuart took such an attitude to her, she would never forgive him.
Unexpectedly, after less than one minute, Stuart returned back. But he didn’t walk into the store. On the contrary, he stood at the door.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I could not ruin your business. So I won’t walk into the store. But I can stand here. You have no reason to let me go away now." he said seriously. freewebnøvel.com
Hearing these words, Edie didn’t know what to say to him. What a dumb man. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"All right, if you enjoy it. It is none of my business."
Edie said firmly.
There were only several guests on the day. But when it came tonight, when students went off the class, they would come here to choose some stuff and buy a glass of drink in the coffee house next to the store.
Everyone seemed quite interested in Edie. After all, Edie showed up many times on television.
Therefore, every student took a great interest in her.
Sometimes they would talk to Edie. These students were quite adorable.
Edie didn’t notice this. So many people noticed her identification. But she didn’t see any reporters around. She couldn’t understand why.
She neglected this. But Stuart never neglected anything.
At noon, when her landlord’s wife brought her lunch, she saw a super handsome guy at the door. She was so surprised.
She stared at Stuart for quite a while. Stuart threw an eye on her and then fixed his eyes on Edie again.
The landlord’s wife was so confused, "Edie, isn’t....isn’t he, your husband? He’s disappeared for two months. Now he’s come back."
"Yes. He is my husband. But I am going to divorce him."
Edie didn’t control her voice. Stuart could clearly hear every word he said.
"I don’t agree," Stuart said in a depressed voice. He sounded so determined, like a proud wild beast.
Hearing his words, Edie raised her eyebrows and threw an eye at him. Then she looked away without saying a word.
The landlord’s wife also felt the wired atmosphere between them. But that’s none of her business. Therefore, she didn’t say a word. After reminding Edie to eat lunch, she left.
When she stepped out of the store, she couldn’t control herself, asking Stuart in a trembling voice, "Mr. Yates, don’t you need to have lunch?"
"I am not hungry now. Thank you,"
"All right. You can sit inside the store. You don’t need to stand here," the landlord’s wife invited him.
Hearing her words, Stuart took a glimpse at Edie and said seriously, "My wife said I might affect the business. So I might still need to stand here. It’d better for me to stand here, you don’t have to worry about me. I am perfectly fine."
Hearing these words, the landlord’s wife was so flattered. After all, she owned this store.
She immediately replied, "What are you talking about? You are our respectful guest, let me take a chair for you. The sun today was burning. You are such a big figure. We should really welcome you and make you at home," the landlord’s wife returned into the store and found a chair for Stuart.
Stuart looked towards Edie and said seriously, "The landlady invites me."
Though his voice was still flat, Edie could hear the proud from his voice.
He must be so satisfied with this result.
After the landlord’s wife left, Edie started enjoying the lunch. She checked the time. It was eleven o’clock and a half. It was also the time for Stuart to have lunch.
His stomach was sick. If he didn’t eat on time, he might suffer from stomachache again.
After hesitating for a while, Edie asked Stuart, "Would anyone bring you some food?"
"No."
"So, you are going to starve today?" Edie widened her eyes
Stuart nodded seriously.
"Why? Don’t you plan everything before you come here?" Edie almost broke down.
Hearing these words, Stuart’s eyes were shone with complicated light. After hesitating for a while, he told Edie honestly, "Ivan said you might feel sorry for me. It works on you."
"..."
Hearing such honest words, Edie didn’t know how to reply. She was amused.
Holy crap. Why could he tell her these?
Edie clenched her teeth and thought for a while. Finally, she decided to go back to her house to prepare some food for Stuart, leaving Stuart to watch the store.
After one hour and a half, Edie came back on a motorcycle. Unexpectedly, she saw lots of people at the door of the store.
"Boss, I want this one, this one."
"Don’t block me. I want to see a handsome guy. Go away."
"Are you cuter than him? No. If you dare to stop me again, I will break up with you."
Most were students in the high school nearby. Edie was quite familiar with them. They came here to buy some stuff frequently.
Edie tried to push them away to make a way into the store. But no one heard her voice.
She couldn’t enter the store at all.
When she felt helpless, those people suddenly made way for her.
Stuart stood at the end of the way.
He said three sentences in total.
"Don’t touch me. I don’t like strangers touching me."
"Go away, let my wife come in."
"Edie, come on. Pass me your stuff."
When he said the first sentence, he sounded really cold and indifferent.
But when he saw Edie, he immediately raised the corner of his mouth and looked towards her.
When he said the last sentence, everyone could feel his deep love for Edie.
Was this the so-called central air-conditioner specifically for one girl?
Edie was a little flattered. Stuart escorted her to the store under lots of eyes.
Then Stuart said to those students, "We need to eat lunch now. Come here later."
"Okay, the cute boy is going to have lunch with his wife. We have to go now. It’d better for us to leave now."
"Cute boy, I would come here tonight. Do you like coffee? I would bring you a cup of coffee."
Stuart’s words got the desired effect. Those students left in minutes.
"I never expected this store was so popular here. Are you so busy every day?" Stuart felt sorry for Edie
Hearing these words, Edie felt so inferior. She was also beautiful and kind. She was also a figure on the television. Why did she become nothing when compared with Stuart?
She was really pissed off.
