You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 788: Chapter 788: He Didn’t Show Up

He stayed with her for less than one week. But she has already been addicted to it. He was like a drug for her,

Once she touched him, she would be addicted to him. He couldn’t come tonight. She could not see him for just one night. But she still felt so lonely and lost, as if she had lost something important.

Stuart would help her balance the book before. He was born to be a businessman. He had a keen sense of figures. He could balance the book in minutes. She could do it too. But she needed to take a longer time compared with him. But this time, it seemed that she got dumb. No matter how long she took, she could not understand those figures in the book.

No matter how she did, she got a fault result.

Finally, she threw the book on the floor directly.

Then she slipped down on the wall slowly.

Why couldn’t he come tonight?

He promised her this morning. Why did he ask her to wait for him? She’s been waiting for him for such a long time. But finally, he told her that he couldn���t come.

Her happiness dashed to pieces.

Happiness...

Yes, she was happy when he came. Every day she looked forward to seeing him when she opened her eyes. She loved looking at him among those students. He wore a black suit, with a lovely smile at the corner of his mouth, walking towards her.

When they went off work, he would get on her motorcycle and ride her towards their house.

They lived together like an ordinary couple, worked during the day and went back home at night. It was common and peaceful.

But tonight, she had to pack up her stuff and go back home alone.

On her way back, even the shadow of those trees looked lonely in her eyes.

When she arrived at her house, Mrs. Yang asked her confusingly, "Where’s your husband? Why doesn’t he come back with you?"

"He has some work to do tonight. He couldn’t come here tonight," Edie gave her a brief explanation and turned towards her bedroom.

She lay on the bed, looking at the sheet paving on the floor. She thought he would come tonight. So she didn’t take those sheets back into the closet.

Now she wanted to take them into the closet. But after hesitating for a while, she paved it on the floor again.

What if...

What if he came here tomorrow? She started looking forward to it.

Then she took a shower and went to bed. But she could not fall asleep now. Therefore, she got off the bed and walked towards the sheet.

She wrapped herself with his quilt to feel his smell on the quilt. It smelt so good. His smell made her feel safe and peaceful.

She couldn’t help herself raising a happy smile at the corner of her mouth. She tried to comfort herself. It was his work. He was a responsible and serious man. He might really be doing something emergency tonight.

Maybe he would come tomorrow. Maybe she could see him tomorrow morning when she opened her eyes.

The next morning, Edie got up at seven o’clock. She was worried that she might miss Stuart again. freeweɓnøvel.com

Seeing her getting up so early, Mrs. Yang got confused again, "why do you get up so early today?"

"I’ve got some weight these days. I need to do some morning exercise," Edie made up an excuse, "Mrs. Yang, I need to go now."

After walking downstairs, she started running around the building. But she could not see Stuart at all.

After an hour, at eight o’clock, Stuart still didn’t show up.

Did he go to buy flowers for her? So he might arrive at nine o’clock.

Yes. So she needed to prepare breakfast for him now so that he could enjoy the hot food as soon as he stepped into her house.

Edie went to the supermarket to buy some flowers and meat. She planned to make dumplings for him today. Though it might take her a long time and it was difficult for her to make dumplings, Edie felt really happy.

After an hour, the dumpling was all made.

Edie didn’t know when Stuart would arrive. She didn’t dare to throw those dumplings into the boiling water. So she stood on the balcony, staring at the door of the residential zone.

But she couldn’t see his car.

It has been nine o’clock now.

Ding...

She heard someone was knocking on the door.

Edie froze. Did Stuart arrive? But she didn’t see him at the door. But she knew there were two doors in the residential zone.

She opened the door. She saw a large bunch of wild roses. They were all fresh and gorgeous, sending forth light fragrance.

Her heart beat faster and faster. When she was about to talk, the man talked first.

"Are you Miss Lara, Edie Lara?"

"Yes. I am Edie Lara,"

"I am the waiter at the New Rain Flower Shop. Mr. Yates booked a bunch of flowers for you. He asked us to send this to you. Please check and sign your name here,"

"What about Mr. Yates? What else does he say to you?"

"He said he has something to deal with now. He could not come here now. He wants to apologize to you."

Something to deal with? Could he not come here now?

What the hell was he busy in? He didn’t even make a call to her to explain to her. He dared to ask a waiter from a flower shop to explain to her.

Edie felt really lost. She held the flowers and walked into her room. Looking at those dumplings, Edie suddenly wanted to burst into laughter.

She could understand him. But why didn’t he call her to explain to her? Was he playing her? Did he have any idea how sad she was now?

She cried, and then she threw all the dumplings into the boiling water.

When the water was boiled, Edie didn’t pick them up.

All dumplings were ruined immediately,

Edie took the flowers to the store and let passers-by take them away. She got busy working. She didn’t dare to take a rest at any moment.

At nine twenty, Students all arrived. But Students haven’t shown up yet.

The next day, Edie got another bunch of white roses. This time, Stuart didn’t leave her any message.

But he didn’t show up at night.

It seemed that Edie had been used to this as if Stuart never showed up. Those several days were nothing more than one of her beautiful dreams.

It was beautiful but hurtful when she woke up.

Seeing the sadness on Edie’s face, Mrs. Yang tried to persuade her to return to find Stuart. But Edie didn’t go anywhere.

Perhaps this was the best ending for both of them. Stuart finally gave up. It was also time for her to give up this relationship.

However, on the third morning, she saw Stuart’s car parking in front of the house when she got out of the house.

She looked at the car at a distance. But she was a little far away from the car so she could not see who was in the car clearly.

Edie stopped her step and stared at the car.

Did he come here?

The car door was opened. It was not Stuart. It was Ivan.

Ivan looked so anxious. He walked quickly towards Edie and grabbed her hands, dragging her into the car immediately without any explanation.

"Miss Lara, please return back to A with me."

"What’s up?" she had a bad feeling.

"Mr. Yates got a fever. So severe. He was in a coma for two days. He kept calling your name in a coma. He’s taken medicine, but it didn’t work. So we think you might be able to help him."

"What! Why didn’t you tell me when he got a fever?" hearing his words, Edie got nervous immediately.

"Mr. Yates asked us not to tell you. He didn’t want to ruin your peaceful life," Ivan said and started the engine, driving the car away,

"Why did he get a fever?"

"He came here every night and went back in the morning. He had lots of work to deal with on the day. Intensive work, as well as this, might be the reason."

"What was he doing these days in the group? He quit the job in the group, right?" her heartbeat got faster and faster. Her palm kept sweating.

Hearing this question, Ivan fell into silence for a while. Then he said, "Brittany was the PR director of the group. But she left away. So Mr. Yates had no choice but to handle the job temporarily. To let you live peacefully at Lionel without being bothered by those media, any post about you would be deleted immediately when they were posted online. Mr. Yates supervised this in person. All he wanted was for you not to be bothered."
