Chapter 667: Chapter 667: My World Doesn’t Fit For You

He had no one...

These words, like sharp needles, inserted deeply into her heart.

Her face turned pale immediately. She didn’t expect that Stuart experienced all these years.

"Where’s the vice President?"

"After he was informed that you passed away because of the vice President. He couldn’t forgive himself, not to mention the vice President. He broke off with the vice President. When he saw the vice President, he would look at her like looking at a stranger."

Ivan sighed slightly.

"Mr. CEO lived like a ghost. He lost his soul. He was suffering after you left. But when you came back, he is still suffering. Miss Lara...could you try to comfort him a little bit, to talk to him to get some sleep. If he kept doing this, he might die. Do you really want him to die?"

Seeing tears in Edie’s eyes, Ivan realized she must be in deep love with Stuart. Therefore, he decided to persuade her.

"But I have no right to persuade him. I didn’t forbid him to take a rest." Edie blinked. Tears fell down from her face.

"It is not me that kept torturing him these years. I didn’t ask him to work like a robot. He had lots of ways to forget me. But he chose the worst one. Who should be blamed?"

"Because he was Mr. CEO. Anyone else would start a new relationship, but he didn’t. He didn’t want to forget you. He kept you in his heart, no matter if you are still alive or not."

Ivan said, emphasizing each word.

Edie was choked with sobs. She bent down painfully and cuddled up in a heap.

How was her life these years?

Painful. Suffering. She kept paralyzing herself like Stuart.

She had lots of chances to meet with Stuart. But she couldn’t appear in front of him.

She could let him see her. All she could do was take a glimpse at him at the mall, at the graveyard, or on the street in London. When she returned back to London, the first thing she did was to check Stuart’s house. Seeing the light was still on in his house, she got so worried about him.

She was never absent in his life all these years.

But Stuart didn’t know anything. Only Edie herself knew these.

Seeing the pain in her eyes, Ivan realized he’d said too much.

He saw Stuart’s life. He knew Stuart bears all the pain these years. But he didn’t know Edie’s life. She suffered pain, like Stuart.

If she still loved Stuart deeply, life must also be so hard for her.

"Miss Lara...I am so sorry...I didn’t mean to blame you..."

Edie said in a cold and clear voice before Ivan expressed his apology, "I didn’t owe Stuart anything. Even if he lived in hell these years, I wouldn’t feel guilty because I am suffering too. But I would do you a favor. That is all I can do for you."

Then she stood up and wiped her tears.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Then she walked towards the building under construction.

Those construction workers built several iron houses there. Stuart was sitting in there. He looked so elegant, so different from those workers.

Apparently, he didn’t belong here.

Edie knocked on the door. Stuart raised his eyes, "why are you here?"

"Why are you still here?"

"I need to check the construction drawing."

"But you are not architecture. Could you understand that? You don’t need to come here. They would handle everything. What about... I drive you back. You can have a day off."

Edie said in a cold voice and caught his hands and dragged him into her car directly.

Stuart didn’t say a word. He just let her control his direction.

Edie drove directly back to his flat. But she stopped at the door. She didn’t dare to step into the house.

She left so many memories here.

She walked him to the door and turned around. When she wanted to leave, he caught her hands, "Why didn’t you come in? Are you still in love with me?"

"Don’t flatter yourself."

Edie showed a ridiculing smile.

"Then, follow me."

He held her small hands tightly and pushed open the iron door, dragging her into the house. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Everything remained the same. Everything looked so familiar to her.

White carpet. Baby pictures on the wall. Those protection films on the corner of the desk and chair.

He took her to their bedroom. It was still black and white. Everything was packed in order. Everything was hers.

The dresser, the skincare, the books she read, her old computer, and the closet’s clothes.

"I bought new clothes for you every year. Because you always wore the same clothes in my dream. Those clothes have been out of date. I am worried that others might laugh at you if you still wear those old clothes. But I didn’t throw those old clothes away. I’ve packed them in a box."

He pointed at the box under the closet.

He didn’t believe in god. But for her, he had to believe.

Looking at this, Edie’s tears got wet. But she tried the best to hold her tears back.

He took her to the bathroom. All her staff was still there. There was still two teeth brushed. One was pink, and the other was blue.

"Do you still remember when we brush teeth together? I held you on the platform and squeezed toothpaste for you. We faced each other and..."

"Stop. I almost already forgot everything that happened here. I don’t want to remember it. I still have work to do. I need to leave now."

After saying these words, she finally ran out of her courage.

She had lots of memories here. She was afraid she would lose control. She was afraid that she would immerse herself in the memory here.

As she wanted to escape away, the door behind her was suddenly closed. Stuart forced her to lean against the wall.

"Edie, it is not because of my mother, right? Tell me the truth, why do you leave me?"

Stuart finally got angry. He sounded so frightening at the moment, as an injured lion.

Why did she leave him?

Hearing his angry voice, Edie raised her clear cold eyes and stared at him.

"Perhaps because..."

"I don’t love you as deeply as before."

After she said these words out, Stuart trembled slightly.

He squinted his eyes, pressing his lips into a cold line. He looked so scary at the moment.

Stuart held on for such a long time just because he believed she still loves him. Why couldn’t she come back to him if she still loved him?

But it turned out...

This answer.

"Edie, why could you say these?"

He got so angry that he couldn’t control the force on her hands. He hurt her.

Edie sneered and asked, "Why couldn’t I say this? Or why do you think I fake the death and leave you? Because I don’t want to live with you anymore. I don’t even want my daughter to stay with you. Stuart, actually, I hate seeing those elegant ladies. I hate listening to their talking. I was born in a lower class. I am not qualified to be with you."

"You are so perfect. No one could be compared with you. You should have found a better girl. As for me, I am still in danger of exposing myself to the public. If I stay with you, I will not dare to go on the website. I didn’t dare to use those social media. I should wear a mask when walking out of the house. I didn’t dare to visit my friends. All I could do is to stay at home all the time."

"Have you considered me, ever? How much pressure should I take? I loved you. Indeed, I did love you. I love you so much that I could put up with everything. But now...I couldn’t stand that anymore. I have freedom and happiness. I can invite my friends whenever I want to. I can cook for them, show them around whenever I want. I can take rest when I am tired and travel when I have free time. This is the life I’ve been dreaming of."

"But..."

"After I got married to you, everyone would label me as Mrs. Yates. Everything about me became transparent. I have no right to have my privacy. Now, maybe I could not make everyone love me, but at least I could avoid their hating me. Your world is so different from me. Your world is more superior. I am not qualified to enter into your world. Certainly, you don’t have to lower yourself to get into my world. My world doesn’t fit for you. From now on, stop bothering us. It is the best choice for both of us.
