You Are Mine (English)
Chapter 649: Do You Want To Find Her Now?
At the same time, Laty was racking her brain to try to get rid of her annoying desk mate.
"Laty...I need to use the toilet. But I don’t dare to tell our teacher."
Around her were many parents passing by with their kids. To stop Edie from inviting more classmates to their house, Laty chose to wait for Edie at the school’s door.
Her teacher was worried about her safety. So she came with her. But unexpectedly, her desk mate also followed her here.
Holy crap.
"Laty...could you go with me? I heard there is a scary wolf in the washing room. It is waiting to eat me up..." Sophie almost burst into tears.
Laty held her forehead, hopelessly, "Sophie, please. You are six years old now. Why are you still so stupid? Why do you believe this? Since I started remembering things, I know all those fairy tales were false. Don’t you know about that?"
"But....why?"
Though Sophie really needed to use the toilet, she got quite curious when Laty told her this.
"Because..."
Because of Edie. When she was an infant, Edie wanted to tell her stories to get her to fall into sleep. She wanted to tell her the story about a mermaid.
But Edie was so asleep that she fell asleep before Laty. All she said was "Mermaid...fish.... they are delicious...."
These words totally broke Laty’s dreams about fairy tales.
When Laty learned how to use the computer, the first thing she did was go online to ask whether the fairy tale was real. The second thing she searched was how to make fish.
Her childhood was really.... tough.
"All right. I can go with you."
Sophie looked so painful. Laty finally gave up and raised her hand, "Miss, I need to use the toilet."
The teacher was talking to the parents. So she nodded casually, "okay, I would wait for you here."
Then Laty dragged Sophie away.
When they arrived in the washing room, Sophie burst into tears.
"Laty...what should I do? I...I pee on my pants."
Hearing this, Laty couldn’t help herself starting sighing.
How could a six-year-old girl do things?
She took off her school uniform and tied on her pants to cover that.
"Do you still need to use the toilet?" Laty asked.
"No... no. I don’t want to use that now. I want to go back home right now."
Sophie sobbed.
"Okay then, my mom might already be waiting for me."
"Thank you very much, Laty."
"You’re welcome."
She held Sophie and prepared to leave the washing room. But, when she turned around, she saw a handsome man. The man looked quite cute.
He stood at a distance away from her, fixing his eyes on her.
Laty got confused. She frowned, "Are you staring at me?"
"What did she call you just now?"
Laty...Stuart heard the girl beside her calling her Laty...
This name...
"Sara. Can I leave now?"
"What?" Sophie looked towards her confusingly. Why did Laty lie to him?
But before she said more words, Laty dragged her away immediately.
When they returned back to their teacher, Sophie was taken away by her mother. Before leaving, Sophie swore to Laty that she would wash her uniform before returning it to Laty.
Laty pressed her lips and smiled. She waved a hand towards Sophie and said, "Not necessary. Ask your mother to give me the money to buy a new one. I don’t like the clothes used by others. I won’t wear it again."
Laty stood together with her teacher, waiting for Miss Lara, her mother.
It has been so late. But Edie hasn’t shown up. She must be on the photographing spot. She couldn’t pick her up on time today. Crap. Why couldn’t she make the schedule in advance?
Stupid woman.
While she was upset, her teacher was already distracted by a man standing at a distance.
She was so familiar with such facial expressions. When Edie employed the male model, her facial expression was exactly like that.
"Miss, my mom might be late. I should call her now. You don’t need to wait for her with me. I can go back to the taxi."
However, her teacher didn’t answer a word, as if she didn’t even hear a word she’s said.
All right then. Anyway, she should leave now. She can explain to her teacher later.
She looked towards the green light. Then she walked across the road. The bus would stop there.
Seeing her leaving, Stuart immediately followed her.
But her teacher stopped him immediately.
Stuart frowned impatiently, "Get out of my way."
Five years later, his eyes became more vicious, scarier, and colder.
His voice sounded much sharper. The teacher was frightened so much that she almost stepped backward.
When Stuart wanted to rush to the bus station, the bus arrived. That little boy got on the bus immediately.
"What’s her name?"
"Laty, L A T Y." the teacher answered him in a trembling voice.
"Laty?" Stuart repeated this name. He squinted and asked one more question, "Where does he live? How many families does she have?"
"He? But she is a girl. I don’t know how many families she has. But I often see her mother. She is really a kind woman."
Girl?
No families. Her mother...
Stuart’s heart started beating faster and faster after being peaceful for all these years.
He returned back into his car and said, "I want to know everything about that kid."
Within ten minutes, all information about that kid was sent into his email.
"Laty Jackson, born on 28 May 2010 in Sun District, A. The house had been rebuilt. Her mother, a famous photographer Miss Yates, held People-theme photographing exhibition for three times, sightseeing-theme for four times and Europe-theme for thirteen times."
Stuart stared at the photo of the photographer for a long time. He finally confirmed it was Edie Lara, without any doubt.
The woman he’s been missing for five years was still alive. She was leading a good life here in this city. His daughter was still alive. She didn’t die at the moment when she was born. She was studying happily in kindergarten now.
"Was it...Miss Lara?"
Ivan read all those documents before Stuart. He asked shockingly.
Though her identity in these documents looked so strange to Stuart, Stuart was so familiar with this face. It was Edie. It was definitely Edie.
How could it be possible? How could it possible that she was still alive?
When Ivan said these words out, the atmosphere in the car became weird all of a sudden. Ivan looked towards Stuart. At the moment, he looked so joyful, as if he already has gotten the most precious thing in his life. He couldn’t hide that joy.
"Do you....do you want to find her now?"
"No. I have another plan."
Stuart calmed himself down. He became so rational now.
He knew why she left because of their last generation conflict.
If he appeared in front of her so suddenly, it might end with the opposite of his wish.
Stuart was a smart businessman. He never did anything beyond his control.
"Let’s go back."
Stuart said in a trembling voice. He couldn’t calm himself down completely.
He touched the picture on the screen with his trembling finger. It felt so cold. But when he touched her face, he could feel her temperature. It was so warm.
Edie...
Don’t you miss me? Why could you leave me with our daughter without any hesitation? Why didn’t you tell me anything?
If you told me that you wanted to leave, I would not be so desperate. At least you are still alive. Why didn’t you give me any help?
But god was very sympathetic to me. He led me to our daughter.
Laty...
He didn’t want to close his eyes for a moment. He kept fixing his eyes on the screen. At the moment, his tough cold heart was gradually tendered. That little image gradually appeared in his mind. Her smile was so bright and touching.
