Chapter 665: Chapter 665: What A Piece Of Luck

At the same time, in the branch of L.N.

Stuart was connecting the headquarters, starting to arrange Brittany to take over the group.

He’s already started searching for Aaron. Aaron’s been playing outsides for a long time. It was time for him to come back to take over the job.

Stuart was exhausted these days. But he still went to school every day and then took his work back to the house he bought recently.

In the monitor, he saw Edie sleeping tightly. All of a sudden, all exhaustion disappeared. He suddenly started enjoying working.

At the moment, Ivan knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing Stuart’s pale face and body sitting straightly, he wondered whether Stuart had a limit.

Stuart worked like a robot. It seemed that he would never fall down.

He would keep working all the time if he didn’t meet with Edie again.

When he met Edie, he finally looked a little bit like a human being.

"Mr. CEO, this is the information about the next meeting. We would be able to get the attorney of Victory after finishing this."

Before he met with Edie, he just planned to reach a consensus with the leading company in A, Victory Real Estate, to carve the economy of A. However, after Stuart met with Edie, he changed his decision. He decided to cooperate with Victory to acquire more than one hundred of entertainment media companies, to control the media in A completely.

If Edie was exposed to the public again, that would be like setting the cat among the pigeons.

He had a responsibility to protect his wife and daughter.

"Okay, try your best to end the meeting before 4:30 pm. I need to go to my daughter’s school."

"Sir..."

Ivan wanted to say something to persuade him to take some rest. He should take a rest now. But he suddenly realized that Stuart wouldn’t adopt his suggestion no matter what he said.

Except for Edie, no one was able to stop Stuart.

After finishing the meeting, it has already been four o’clock. Stuart immediately drove to the school. Instead of approaching them, he just stood at a distance away from then, watching Edie holding Laty’s hand and walked back home or took a bus back home. Sometimes, they would leave with other parents. She seldom drove her car.

He followed them behind slowly. He knew she would go into the supermarket every day to buy some fresh ingredients. Looking at that meat and vegetables she bought, Stuart started guessing what dishes Edie would make tonight.

And then, he would confirm his assumption through the monitor tonight.

He thought he was like a shameless snooper, spying on Edie’s life all the time, with all means.

Really difficult, really ridiculous. But still, he enjoyed it.

He didn’t leave until Edie arrived at home and stepped into the house. Then he would return back and open the monitor, as usual, watching her getting busy in the kitchen.

She pulled up her hair slightly and put on the apron. Then she wore the slippers and walked into the kitchen, starting washing vegetables and cooking. Laty was standing asides her to give her a favor.

They were talking and laughing happily.

But because of the noise of pots in the kitchen, Stuart couldn’t hear them clearly.

But...

Seeing that smile on their face, Stuart was so satisfied.

Even if he was not there, he could feel their happiness through the screen. It was enough for him to satisfy.

But, he wanted more. He got greedier.

As usual, Stuart worked till midnight. When he was about to take a nap on the sofa, he saw the light in Edie’s room was turned on.

Edie looked sober as if she didn’t fall in asleep at all.

She walked to Laty’s room and then walked to the kitchen. Then she started cooking noodles with tomatoes and eggs.

Then she took a bowl of noodles to the table and sat down, staring at a spot blankly.

Finally, ...

She was chocked with a sob. She started crying painfully.

Seeing this, Stuart’s heart was burning.

On the screen, Edie looked so slim. It was in autumn. It already got quite cold. But she wore a little.

Her shoulder was trembling. She looked so fragile at the moment.

She cried in such a low voice. She didn’t dare to make any sound.

As minutes went by, her eyes got red. Her face was covered with tears.

She cried for a long time. Finally, she stood up and took the bowl of noodles up, walking to the trash bin. Then she poured the noodles into the trash bin.

She stood beside the trash bin for quite a while and then turned around and left.

Stuart touched the screen. His heart was trembling with his hands.

Why did she suddenly get up to cook noodles? Why did she throw them into the trash bin?

She looked so upset. Why did she press it?

He recalled what he heard when she called someone in her bedroom. She called Arther and asked him about Norman that day.

She could leave that year because of one man. Did they hide something from him?

The next morning, when Edie woke up, she could see her eyes getting swallow. She didn’t dare to let Laty see this. So Edie asked Laty to take the bus to school. She told Laty she needed to take more rest.

Laty didn’t think a lot. She completely believed Edie.

After Laty left, Edie got up immediately. She took a deep breath and started packing up.

She needed to take photos of the old street. She should make herself look energetic.

After washing her face, she got her eyes done with a perfect shape.

Then she walked out of the house. She thought she might be late today. But unexpectedly, when she arrived, she didn’t see one man there.

She called her client.

After quite a while, the phone was answered.

"Miss Jackson, I am so sorry. I didn’t see your calling. Are you on the old street now? If so, come to the commercial strict, I have a client. He wants you to take several photos. He would also pay you."

The client sounded so exciting.

Edie couldn’t help herself frowning. What the hell was going on there?

The old street used to be the most prosperous street in ancient times. Therefore, buildings here were all typical. But as the development of the economy, most buildings here were dismantled. Gradually, this zone became the countryside. Except for this street, all other buildings in this zone were replaced by commercial buildings.

The commercial street was at the end of the old street. It was still under establishment.

Her clients were young college students. To take photos, they collected some money together and found Edie on a website. They are all cosplayers. So they didn’t have lots of money to pay Edie. But Edie didn’t care about that. On the contrary, she thought these students’ love for co was just like her love for the old street. She felt she was taking photos of a group of people like her.

When she worked in the company, she was in charge of Sightseeing in Old City.

When Edie arrived, she saw those students were all taking pictures crazily for one man in the suit. The man wore a safety helmet. Edie couldn’t see his face clearly. But she assumed he might be the leader in this region.

Those students kept screaming out.

"Oh, god. How could he be so cute?"

"How lucky we are today. We really meet such a handsome man. I need to pose his picture on our campus website."

"What a piece of luck."

Edie walked to them and said, "How could you know he is handsome. He is turning his back to you."

Hearing Edie’s voice, a student that contacted Edie before turned around and said, "You must be Miss Jackson, right? I am contacting you on the photographing website. Do you remember?"

"Hi, I am Ceddie Jackson," Edie introduced herself.

"I am Mica. Help me capture the scene. His side face. Only one picture is enough. Twenty dollars, okay?"

"Mica, you are so tight with money. Miss Jackson, I would give you fifty dollars. Take a picture of him for me. Thank you very much."

"I want too, please "

Three girls were all asking Edie to take pictures of a man for them. Edie was amused.
