You Are Mine (English)
Chapter 646: Her Freedom Was Restricted
Finding a woman among billions of people was really difficult, like dredging for a needle in the sea. It took Clyde several years to find Edie Lara.
It really surprised him that Ann dared to keep this last name.
Clyde asked lots of people about Edie. Finally, he concluded. Ann already passed away long ago, leaving an orphan in this world. The orphan was Edie Lara.
When Clyde told this to her, he sounded so relaxing and easy. But Edie still felt the pain.
She never expected that her mother was the sin of her family. It was her mother that destroyed her family.
No wonder her mother has always been depressed all these years. Edie thought it was all Stanley’s fault. It was Stanley that made her mother painful all her life. She never expected there was such a long history behind.
No wonder her mother never asked for Stanley’s money even though they were suffering a lot because his money killed her grandpa.
No wonder her mother never agreed to sell that priceless necklace to make their life better and left it to Edie as a souvenir. That necklace witnessed all the mistakes Ann’s made.
After twenty years, all went to the dust.
Clyde said, "I know your agreement with Norman. In his plan, he would fake your death and then send you to Australia. But I provide another plan. You can go back to Zabreg with me."
Hearing this suggestion, Edie widened her eyes, staring at him in shock.
"I don’t believe Norman. After all, you are nobody for him. But we are different, and we are relatives. We are related by blood. I’ve already negotiated with Norman, and if you agree, after you give birth, I would take you back to Zabreg immediately with my helicopter."
"It is quite easy for my family to hide you. Though I am not powerful enough, I am the heir of Jackson’s. I can guarantee the safety of you and my niece. I am sure of this. Besides, if you go with me, I won’t restrict your freedom. I won’t force you to live like a prisoner. You can do anything you want as long as you can keep away from Stuart Yates."
"My mother...she really misses you."
Edie couldn’t find any excuse to reject him.
In Norman’s plan, he would provide everything for her in the future to ensure that she could live a better life. But to ensure the normal operation of the group, Edie was forbidden to see Stuart again.
Her freedom was restricted.
Clyde was her relative. He might care about her feeling.
After all, he was her cousin.
He was her family.
Family...
It has been quite a long time since she thought of this term last time. She desired to have a family. Now, he came to her.
He was standing in front of her.
Edie didn’t know what deal Clyde made with Norman. Though Norman was not satisfied with the deal, he still agreed with Edie’s leave with Clyde in the helicopter.
He also promised that he would handle Stuart.
Zabreg was an island. Quite warm. Quite suitable for people to live here.
Edie saw her mother’s sister here.
At the moment Larriser saw Edie, she cried out, "you looked exactly like Ann."
In the Jackson’s, Edie felt the warmth from the family that she’s never experienced before. Everyone in this family was so nice to her. Everyone was so considerate. No one made her feel embarrassed.
Edie also went to the graveyard to pray at the tomb of her grandpa. She said to her mother in silence that she didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.
Larriser knew Edie’s experienced a lot before. She thought Edie might be depressed after all those things. So she encouraged her to develop her own career, to do something she liked.
Certainly, Edie could not be an actress anymore. So she tried something else. And then she fell in love with photographing. She set up her own studio. She even got the price in an international photographing contest two years ago. From then on, she became more and more famous.
To seek inspiration, Edie often traveled with Laty. Laty was smart. She never asked Edie about her father.
But Laty didn’t like wearing a dress or wear long hair. Instead, she always pretended to be a boy. It seemed she wanted to protect her mother in this way.
Edie started holding exhibitions all around the world together with Laty.
London was the last stop of the exhibition trip. Edie wanted to take Laty back to her school after the last stop here.
After all, lots of her stories happened here. No matter how far she was away from this city, she would always miss it.
Because the memory here was so beautiful.
When she was dying that year, Norman chose to save her life. It was Norman that saved her and Stuart.
Edie and Stuart were bound to separate from each other. It was the best choice for both of them.
Edie Lara already left this world. Now only the photographer Yates. The first letter of Yates was on every work of Edie. Her name was Miss Yates. She missed Yates so much.
She never stopped missing him since she left him.
"Mom, I met a strange uncle on the bus today. He asked me whether my father was Aaron Yates. He stared at me all the time. I feel so strange."
Laty’s words interrupted Edie’s thoughts.
Hearing these words, Edie was shocked slightly. She asked Laty immediately, "What did you say?"
"You’ve told me not to answer strangers’ questions. I didn’t answer him. Who is him? Do you know? Aaron....do you know about this name?"
"What was he like?"
"He wore a formal suit. Quite handsome. Look like me. Do I look like a man?" Laty blinked her big eyes and said.
All of a sudden, Edie got restless and agitated. She pretended to be angry, "When could you dress like a girl. Why do you follow Cecil, I tell you now. Remember, if any creepy old man asked you any question on the bus, don’t care about then. Just ignore them directly. They might hurt you. They are all dangerous."
"But...he is not creepy. On the contrary, he looks so cute, much cuter than my uncle. Super cute, much cuter than Cecil and Arther."
Hearing these words, Edie almost got choked by her own saliva.
"It must be your illusion. Don’t go out alone again. We are about to arrive at your uncle’s home." Edie tried to start a new topic.
"Mom, I wanted to ask you a question long ago. Cecil is only five years older than me. Why should I call him uncle? I think I should call him brother. Most people’s uncles are twenty or thirty years older than them. Isn’t it?"
Laty kept asking Edie questions, even Edie didn’t know how to explain.
She could not tell Laty directly that it was because Cecil’s father got married so late. It was so embarrassing.
After all, Cecil was Laty’s uncle, no matter how old he was.
"This question. Well. It is so complicated. Don’t be so serious about this. Just call him uncle." Edie answered casually.
Soon, the taxi parked in front of Clyde’s flat.
Laty jumped to the door to ring the bell. The maid immediately opened the door for them.
At the moment when they walked into the flat, they heard Cecil’s loud voice, like the sound of thunder.
"I....am....starving!"
Edie saw the boy lying on the sofa. He’s lost much weight. After leaving William’s house, he has been staying with Noble. His appetite got worse and worse those days. So he lost much weight those days. Now he could no longer get more weight no matter how much he ate.
Besides, he got taller and taller. Even his cute round face became sharp. Currently, he looked more like a handsome teenager.
Therefore, this foodie ate more now.
