"So you believe me, right" Edie was surprised. She couldn't believe it for a moment. She doesn't expect that this man will be going to save from the humiliation.
"Though I want to divorce you, I won't hurt you. I don't know what kind of girl you are. But...I believe you are a good girl. Otherwise, I won't fall in love with you before. If you're bad based on other's judgment, would I be going to marry you?"
He stared at Edie with his purely black eyes. He wanted to tell her how deeply he loved her until now, but he chose this way to protect her.
He wanted to tell her. But he couldn't tell her everything. Not until he will know the identity of the person behind Hicks.
Edie stared at him back. She wanted to tell him that he loves him so much and she misses the old Stuart. Her heart started beating faster and faster.
It took quite a while for her to make a smile. Her smile was light but beautiful.
