Chapter 9 The plane gradually took off , moving away from the ground , and the vast New York finally shrank into a small dot . Stephanie took a deep breath , slowly withdrew her gaze , and forced a relaxed smile . From then on , Edgar would have no more relationship with her . She was going to start a whole new life . For the rest of his life , even if he wanted to spend it with Amelia forever , she didn't care . She closed her eyes , no longer looking at the scenery outside the window , quietly enjoying the freedom . However , at the same time , Edgar was indulgently accompanying Amelia shopping . Whenever Amelia glanced at something , he generously bought it for her . Looking at those luxury handbags and jewelry in her purse , Amelia's smile deepened in her eyes , but she pretended to be conflicted . " Mr. Ferguson , I accepted these , Ms. Sanchez won't be angry , will she ? " " She never liked me . Today is your wedding anniversary , and you are here with me . She must be in a bad mood . Will she blame me for taking you away if you give me so many gifts ? " She lowered her head in embarrassment , biting her lip with her teeth . " Maybe I should just leave . Once I'm gone , she shouldn't be angry anymore . You guys take care and have a good life . I don't want to be 1504 Chapter 9 bullied by her anymore . " 1 Before the words had even finished , Amelia put down the luxury bags , wiped away her tears , and turned to leave . Edgar held her tightly , his voice tense : " Amelia , don't go ! " " I have said it before , as long as I am here , Stephanie will never bully you again . If she dares to hurt you again , I will not let her off . Please don't leave my side , okay ? I can't be without you . " In the corner where he couldn't see , Amelia smirked , her eyes filled with satisfaction . Apart from the slightly red eyes from rubbing , there was absolutely no trace of having cried . She covered her face , pretended to sob a few times , and looked back at Edgar with red eyes . " Mr. Ferguson , I'm glad you're here . I believe you will protect me . " " However , I don't know when Ms. Sanchez will give up bullying me . If she continues like this , I will also get tired . " " She was your wife , and you were just pursuing me . I knew I would be the one left behind . If you don't plan on having a future with me , can you please stop bothering me ? " " I was afraid of losing my heart to you and losing everything , so it would have been better if we had never started in the first place . " Edgar felt a little heartache when he saw the watery gleam in Amelia's eyes . He furrowed his brow in thought for a moment , then gently ran his fingers through her hair and soothed her with a soft voice : 28 PE 15:04 Chapter 9 " I will find a way to make her give up on you . We will have a future , I promise . " Once again , it was this vague promise that Amelia mocked in her heart , and she gritted her teeth in frustration . He kept saying that he loved her and cared about her , but he was unwilling to divorce Stephanie and marry her . Is this the love he talked about ? She didn't want to be just a canary or a mistress for the rest of her life , she didn't want to constantly please just to get the little bit of kindness that slipped through his fingers . She wanted to be his legitimate wife ! Since he couldn't make up his mind , she decided to help him ! Amelia had a rough plan in mind . While having dinner with Edgar at a romantic restaurant , she excused herself midway and returned with a small packet of powder in her hand . However , Edgar , sitting across from me , hung his head and stared at the glaring red exclamation mark on his phone , his face gradually darkening . So much so that she didn't even notice what Amelia was up to . Stephanie's attempts to contact him failed , not only through WhatsApp , but also through text messages , phone calls , and everything else - she had blocked him completely . What trick was she playing after all ? Just because he didn't spend their wedding anniversary with her , didn't see the so - called surprise she had prepared ? We have been married for so many years , is it necessary to get jealous and throw a tantrum over this matter again ? It's not like I haven't spent time Chapter 9 11 with her before , it's just that I missed this one time . Edgar exuded a terrifyingly cold demeanor as he calmly called the maid at home . " Sherlyn , is Stephanie at home ? Give her the phone , I have something to tell her . " Chapter 10
