章 136: Chapter 136: Their Gap

Seeing Edie cry, it was as though he could feel her pain. He had no idea what to say. The only thing he could give her was a firm promise, "Don't worry, I'm here, I will never let anything like this happen to you again, as long as I am around no one will ever harm you."

He said it not only to comfort Edie but also to comfort himself. If he couldn't protect his own wife, what was the point of being so powerful and influential?

It was a while before Edie stopped crying, and finally, Stuart asked in a deep voice, "Are you feeling better?" Hearing Stuart's voice, she had realized she was in Stuart's arms, and she blushed instantly. She sat up immediately, " I'm much better now."

Then she thought about what she had just done, and she just cried in Stuart's arms? Fortunately, he doesn't like women. Seeing Edie distancing herself from him, Stuart felt a little upset. He reassured himself by thinking that building a relationship takes time and that he couldn't rush it.
