24 Chapter 24: Meet Her ex-boyfriend

Edie reacted with an "Ouch," and raised her head stroking her forehead, but stopped as soon as she noticed who it was. "Donald? It's you, what are you doing here?"

Donald frowned and spoke at the same time. When he saw Edie, he swallowed the "sorry" in his mouth, and the only thing he felt was bothered by seeing this woman's face. Edie clearly saw that Donald's eyes were full of hatred, "How can this woman be so annoying?"

Immediately her face turned cold and said, "What? Am I not allowed to buy medicine?" Donald was impatient, "Then please can you move aside for Miss Lara and me. I have to buy medicine for Joanna." It was for Joanna again. Edie bit her lower lip and gave way to an impulse. Looking at Donald walking in, she could feel herself being consumed with anger and frustration.

While he was walking away from her, she turned around and said, "Do you really believe Joanna?" Donald heard her and turned around with his eyebrows frowning, "It is you that I cannot believe, not Joanna."

Edie sneered, "Do you really think Joanna is a good person? If she is really an honest person, why hasn't she has given me a chance to be alone with you this past year? Why has she never allowed you the chance to listen to what I have to say?"

Donald looked at her, questionably, "Because I am not interested in your story. I have seen lots of women like you, who just look at my money and want to marry a rich husband. How can you be so greedy and compare yourself to Joanna?"

He just wasn't interested in what Edie had to say. The word greedy hurt Edie. It turned out that the love she had always regarded as treasure was stolen from Joanna. Edie was full of disappointment. He had forgotten their past. He believed and trusted Joanna, so her words were filth. It didn't matter how hard she tried; there was no getting through to him.

"Donald Lynch, mark my words. You will, in time, regret your decision. In the end, you will see that you have been played. Donald was furious, "Edie Lara, can you keep your thoughts to yourself and not to slander Joanna? Please stay away from us."

"Donald, I will ask you for the last time. Do you really disbelieve that we didn't have five years of love?" Edie's stared open-eyed at Donald. There was no hope for him anymore. After getting her answer, she would completely let go of their past.

Donald had a mocking smile on his face. "I don't believe it. Miss Lara, you are delusional? How can you try to fool me with things that you have only made up in your mind?"

Edie's eyes were reddish, but there was a feeling of relief in her heart. "Mr. Dork, have a happy wedding! I wish you and your fiancée a happy life forever!" After that, Edie turned away. Donald abruptly raised his head like he was clearing his mind of fog.

"Mr. Dork! How dare she call me that and wish me a happy life forever!" No one had ever called him that before. Donald frowned and thought as long as his mind touched these words, his head would hurt like being pricked by a needle.

His heart was aching like something had been taken away. He knew that Edie was once an essential part of his life, but he had to stop thinking about it. Donald painfully reached out and hugged his head, breathing weakly like a drowning person.

"Sir..." The pharmacist saw the man standing in the doorway for a long time was in pain and carefully asked, "Are you okay?" Donald raised his head like being woken up from a dream and smiled constrainedly, "I am fine."

Edie waited at the Villa patiently for Stuart but did not see him. After dinner, she was bored while watching TV, and she gradually fell asleep. She woke up and vaguely remembered someone asking: "Who allowed you to sleep here?" Edie wanted to tell him that it was she who decided to sleep on the sofa, but she was too exhausted and couldn't find the words.

Then he approached her, and she smelled the light cologne. It was a very reassuring smell. She was unable to control herself by the scent. So, she slightly moved toward the direction of that smell.

With her cheek touching the smooth fabric from the suit, Edie frowned slightly. She tried to move away, and she was suddenly held up by someone. The feeling of weightlessness made her dizzier. She struggled to open her eyes, and all she could see was the faint glow of his eyes, like a cat in the dark.

Edie was a little stunned at first and then came to her senses. "Was it Stuart?" "Are you awake now?" The deep voice of Stuart was heard. Edie was in a daze for a moment and found that he was holding her in his arms and walking up the stairs. She was scared and could not explicitly say anything, "S...S...Stuart!"

"What?" The amazingly handsome face was lowered and close to her face. The low and magnetic voice was so sexy, and Edie's face flushed for a moment. "Why, why are you holding me? Put me down!"

"Put you down? Here?"

Edie turned her head and found that Stuart was walking in the middle of the stairs. It was not a wide spiral staircase, and it didn't seem as if there was enough room for the two of them. Edie was confused. Stuart secretly made an unobvious smile and slightly loosened his arms as if losing power.

"Oh! What are you doing, Stuart?!" Edie was afraid that he would drop her and quickly grabbed something with her hands. It was Stuart's collar of his shirt. Seeing that his tidy shirt collar was now crumpled, Edie was a little afraid and tried to retract her hands.

Stuart noticed her intentions, and his hands were loose again. Looking at her panicked expression, he slightly raised her head. He lowered his head, reached his slender neck out in front of her face, and said in a low voice, "Hug me tight."

The tone of his voice was so gentle that it made her shiver. Edie didn't realize that she had put her arms around his neck. Stuart took her back to the room so naturally. It wasn't until he put her on the bed that she started to regain consciousness.

After putting her down, Stuart did not leave right away. He looked down at her and said, "You were waiting for me?" He was busy with business at the company and received a message from Mr. Sampson, saying that Mrs. Yates had been waiting for him and refused to return to the room for a rest.

When he saw the small figure that was curled up on the sofa, he had feelings of pleasure and excitement. The empty Villa was filled with servants and him, and now suddenly, he could feel his body being surrounded by warmth.

Edie's eyes blinked. Why did she wait for him...? Oh, she came to her senses and remembered. Edie raised her upper body and sat up, staring at Stuart with her big eyes. She carefully observed his face, for fear of missing a touch of expression, "Are you okay… were you injured?"

Stuart's eyes flashed for a second. He said lightly, "I am not injured." Edie was suspicious, "Really? How could you not be hurt?" Stuart did not want to talk too much about this matter and got up getting ready to leave.

Edie reached out her hands in a panic and hugged his waist without thinking, "Wait, Stuart. I haven't finished yet!" The body of Stuart was frozen for a second faintly.
