” She’s been plotting to ruin me!” Edward Edmin said these words with a distant look, obviously resenting these things in his heart, but didn’t want to face these memories again.
“That’s just your unilateral idea. As a stepmother, she also has her own difficulties. If she is too strict with you, you might say she is too harsh on you. Whatever she does, you can always find her problems…”
The root of this matter is that Lady Edmin is not his biological mother. She took a deep breath and spoke to him in a very calm tone, just didn’t want to stimulate this guy.
But obviously, her plan failed.
When Edward Edmin heard her words, he once again fiercely grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall: “Are you blaming me?”
“I’m not blaming anyone. The only one to blame is the head of the Lov family!” Despite her discomfort, Snow Cecy tried hard to calm herself down and plead with him.
Edward Edmin’s eyes turned more and more crimson, as if he was about to shed tears of blood. His grip on Snow Cecy’s neck tightened.
She felt that she was about to suffocate.
“Snow, what are you doing? Is the zipper stuck? Why has it taken so long?” Outside the door, Alice Jiang knocked and whispered with confusion.
Edward Edmin was awakened by the sound and loosened his grip on Snow Cecy’s neck.
As Edward Edmin looked at Snow Cecy’s current state, a fleeting sense of apology flashed through his eyes. “Snow?”
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Alice Jiang became extremely worried.
Finally, Snow Cecy regained her composure. She didn’t want anyone to see her and Terrence Edmin’s little brother in such an intimate posture in the dressing room, so she tried to make her voice sound normal: “I just got my zipper stuck. I’ve taken care of it now. Just wait a little longer,.”
“OK.” Alice Jiang didn’t suspect that she was lying and just turned around and left.
Once Alice Jiang’s footsteps faded away, Snow Cecy looked up at Edward Edmin and glared at him. “Aren’t you going to leave? You don’t know my temper as your sister-in-law?”
“Snow, I’ll come find you again.” Edward Edmin was extremely paranoid. Snow Cecy’s words moments ago hadn’t alleviated the obsession in his heart. Instead, he felt that Snow Cecy was just trying to lecture him.
He turned and walked out openly.
Snow Cecy quickly closed the door. Her neck still hurt.
As she crouched down, her tears finally overflowed and slid down her cheeks. She missed Terrence Edmin deeply.
However, she knew she couldn’t tell Terrence Edmin about this. If she did, Terrence Edmin might choose to kill Edward Edmin directly. She couldn’t let Terrence Edmin’s hands be stained with her brother’s blood.
When they left the dressing room, Alice Jiang noticed that something was off with her emotions. “What’s wrong? You were so happy trying on wedding dresses earlier. Did you get a call or something? Is Terrence Edmin fooling around with someone back?”
“No,” Snow Cecy shook her head. She pinched her forehead and said, “I just suddenly don’t feel well. I’ll go back and rest for a bit.”
“Is that so?” Alice Jiang still had some doubts.
“I promise!”
Snow Cecy forced a smile and hooked her arm with Alice Jiang’s. “Terrence Edmin is extremely loyal to me, so he wouldn’t give other women a chance. I trust him!”
“Oh…” Alice Jiang felt like she was drowning in the love of these two young people.
On the way back home, Snow Cecy remained tense. She was worried that Edward Edmin would appear again without warning. When she got back to the small building, she locked all the windows.
Late at night, when she called Terrence Edmin, she couldn’t help asking, “When is Edward Edmin going to India?”
“What’s the matter?” Terrence Edmin immediately sensed that something was off. “Why are you suddenly talking about him?”
“I’m just curious… didn’t he say he was going back to India a while ago? Why hasn’t he left yet?” Snow Cecy bit her finger. She could still vividly picture the scene of Edward Edmin choking her neck whenever she closed her eyes, and couldn’t help but shiver.
She really hated this feeling of fear…
“My father’s intention is that since I am getting married, he, as a family member, has to attend. So he will leave after the wedding is over. Of course, I can’t wait for this guy to leave sooner.” Terrence Edmin smiled helplessly. “My father just wants to maintain a superficial peace in front of all the guests!”
Snow Cecy felt aggrieved in her heart. He wanted to maintain peace, but he had put her in danger. This was very unfair.
“Snow…” Terrence Edmin frowned and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you? If there is something, please tell me. Don’t bear it all by yourself.”
“I’m fine.” Snow Cecy pinched her forehead and smiled. “Just hurry up and deal with your domestic affairs and come back! I might miss you a little bit.”
“You seem to be more and more clingy now!” Terrence Edmin looked at the scenery outside, and touched his chin while sitting at his desk, smiling. “But I like it!”
Snow Cecy pouted and said with disdain, “I don’t know how bad you men can be. At the beginning, it’s fun to be cuddly, but if it lasts too long, you will get tired of it.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t get tired of you!” Terrence Edmin also wanted to be with this little girl all the time, how could he get tired of her so soon?
“Okay…”
Although Snow Cecy’s tone was a bit cold, she was actually very happy inside. After all, hearing such sweet words from a restrained male god made her feel a strong contrast, and she felt proud inside.
She yawned and said tiredly, “I’m a bit tired, goodnight!”
“Well, I’ll be back soon, and then you can come and stick with me anytime!” Terrence Edmin deliberately tempted her with a lowered voice.
The next second, Snow Cecy hung up the phone directly.
This bastard, doesn’t he know that this kind of temptation is easily itchy for people’s hearts?
She wrapped herself tightly in the covers, feeling a lot safer.
Terrence Edmin, who was far away, did not immediately relax.
He was very concerned about Snow Cecy’s emotions.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he made a phone call to Alice Jiang.
“Hey, how come the busy person thinks of calling me?” Alice Jiang was surprised to see Terrence Edmin’s number on the caller ID while she was applying a face mask.
After all, she and Terrence Edmin had very little contact over the years, mostly only for work purposes.
Even if they were going to become a family now, it was still unfamiliar territor
