Chapter 24

Looking at the girl's appetite, he kept giving her the dishes she liked. After dinner, Natasha brought a book to read. "It is evening, do not read, and go to bed early." Like an elder, he spoke with great majesty. "But I want to read for a while." Natasha turned over in bed and saw that Edward was still in her room, which made her stiff. "Edward, do you not want to go to bed? Why are you still here?" "I will sleep with you tonight." Edward said. "Ah, uhm, why..." Natasha sat up, if he told her what to do, even though she did not want to do it, she could not do anything. While Natasha was imagining things, Edward saw her little thoughts. "I just want to take care of you." "You know, this is unnecessary." How could she get out of this situation? That was what she thought. "Natasha, you are my wife now. You can tell me something like this directly in the future. I thought something happened to you before I found a doctor." Edward looked at her. "I am worried about you." She blushed at the thought. "Does the whole family know? Sister also sent me brown sugar water." "I did not know how to take care of you and let her send it. I think she and you should have a common language to talk about." Edward said. "I am embarrassed." She put the book on her face and did not dare to see Edward. Edward took her book. "It is late, let us sleep. Do not read." "Oh..." She was lying on the bed honestly, afraid to move. Edward also laid quietly beside her. Suddenly a big hand came over and put a hot water bottle on her stomach. "This..." "They say this will relieve your pain. Now you could not catch a cold. If you push the quilt at night, I will cover it for you." "You are so kind to me." Natasha hugged his hand, and her heart was very warm. "Now that you are my wife, I am sure to be good to you." Edward could not see her expression clearly in the dark. "Sometimes, I really think the world is arranged wonderfully. When you lose something, you will get something." Natasha muttered to herself. "Edward, you are so kind to me. I will surely treat you well with my heart." "Edward, you do not know Maxine. But why did you tell her that earlier?" Natasha remembered today's agenda and suddenly asked. "I do not know her, if it were not for her bullying you..." Edward stopped the next words, but Natasha was clear in her heart. It turned out that he was standing up for her. "Thank you, really. You are really good to me." "That Maxine, is she the friend who betrayed you?" Edward asked. Although he could not see his expression clearly, she still turned to look at him, it seemed that she could hide nothing from Edward. "I..." "Do you have a problem with Jake?" "No..." Was today a holiday? She was very confused, and Jake was weird. He did not trust Natasha at all. He only listened to the wind without rain. As long as Maxine said something in front of him, he believed it all. At that thought, she realized that Jake humiliated her and accused her of being a gold digger because of Maxine's words. Did he not have any idea what kind of person she was? "Sometimes, I feel very strange," Edward suddenly opened his mouth. "Neither of you have any relationship to one another. Why on earth do you quarrel?" Natasha did not speak, but she was a little guilty in her heart. Edward guessed so accurately that he even knew that the person who betrayed her was Maxine, but he could not guess her previous relationship with Jake. But thinking of Edward's side of standing out for her today, Natasha hugged his hand tightly and closed her eyes. She did not know how long she had fallen asleep. She did not also know what dream she had, she just hugged his arm tightly. Edward could not sleep, and had been savoring Natasha's words. Early the next morning, Natasha woke up and there was no Edward around. After Natasha finished washing her face, she went down and saw Fred chatting with the young couple. They should be the guest today. It could be seen that the expressions of both sides were somewhat intense. Natasha did not think too much and went to the back garden to see the flowers. The weather was good that day, and the sun was warm. Standing and watching for a while, Natasha's mood changed very well. She slept comfortably last night, but Edward got up so early and she did not know where he went. Did he go to work? She was leisurely walking until she was right in front of two servants working together. They did not see Natasha, but the content of their chat fell in her ears word for word. "Hey, have you heard that Alicia Walsh broke off their marriage before?" "Are you sure? Is it not that the Walsh family was very good with the Busch family before? If you say that you will retreat, will you retreat?" "This matter is still ongoing. I saw with my own eyes that the Walsh family came to the Busch family today." "Are you sure they are talking about divorce?" "Sure. Do you think that Edward being like that, and his legs were like that, would they still allow their daughter to be married to him? They are really ruthless." "That is normal. It is human nature. Who dares to marry his daughter to him?" "Before all that happened, Ms. Alicia and Mr. Edward looked good together. They are really well matched. She was a talented woman and he was a great person, but the result? Look at what she did to him." "What's wrong with that woman?" "When Edward had an accident, she went abroad and said that she was going to study there. How could she come back after going abroad for three or five years?" "It's obvious that she did not want to marry him." "Yeah."
