If I really minded Betty's words, I would have been pissed off by her.
Hearing what I said, Scott breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How are you with G. M. Xiao recently? I'm so sorry that I didn't attend your wedding."
I did not blame her. Because Betty and I got married on the same day.
"I came to bring you some bayberries. William and I picked these on the farm. It's natural and there's no pesticide for it. " I put the bag on the table and said to Scott.
"It's so kind of you. I've always liked the bayberries. Thank you." Scott looked at me tenderly and said.
After looking at her for a long time, I stood up and said, "Since bayberries have been delivered, I will go back first."
"Don't you want to have a meal here?" Scott asked. It seemed that she didn't want me to leave like this. She couldn't help but grab my hand.
I took a look at her and shook my head, "If I eat here, I'm afraid I'll be eaten by your daughter." I said jokingly.
Scott said apologetically, "Betty has been spoiled by me and her father. Please don't mind."
"I don't mind at all. After all, she is not important to me." I shrugged and didn't cover up my dislike for Betty in front of Scott. "Ashley, I always forgot to ask you, your mother... is Mary?"
I remembered that she called my mom in this way when she saw my mom in my ward.
Did she know my mom?
"Yes, my mother's name is Mary, and my father's name is Jack."
"So you are Mary's daughter." Scott could not help but feel a little relieved when she heard this.
"Do you know my mother?" Scott seemed to be very familiar with my mother, but I had never heard my mother talk about the Fang family.
"Yeah, your mother used to be my college classmate, and later she worked as a servant in our house. But your mother quit the job then. I didn't know where she went."
Scott looked at me with nostalgia and said.
I nodded with understanding and said to her, "Then I'll go back first."
"Have lunch here. I haven't talked to you for a long time." She held my hand and said to me.
Her attitude was so determined, so I had to nod helplessly.
Seeing that I agreed, she took me to her bedroom happily.
Scott's bedroom style was very elegant, and I liked it very much. There were a lot of photos in her room, all of which were pictures of children.
"Is this Betty?" I pointed to a photo of Scott holding a child and asked. This picture seemed to be taken when the child was 100 days old. In the picture, Scott was much younger. When she was young, she looked beautiful and lively. She didn't look decent.
"Yes, this is a picture of Betty when she was 100 days old. Isn't she cute?" Scott picked up the picture and said to me.
I pursed my lips and nodded. Betty was very beautiful when she was a baby. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful she was, she was so mean and sinister.
"This is a photo of Betty at the age of three, and then this is a photo of her at the age of 12. She was kidnapped at that time, and we found her and Edward later."
Scott showed me those photos and introduced them to me.
I looked at the picture of Betty when she was 12 years old. At that time, she looked very lovable. At least, she was not disgusting at that time.
"This necklace." I pointed at the necklace on Betty's neck and said with some doubts.
I had seen this necklace in Edward's villa. I always found it familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen this necklace before.
"This is Betty's necklace. I don't know when she had this necklace. After she was saved, she had been holding this necklace. After that, she said that this was her necklace. The strange thing was that I had never seen this necklace before."
Scott explained to me. I stared at the necklace and looked at it for a long time.
There seemed to be some memories in my mind that I almost recalled them.
I held my head and shook my body in discomfort.
"What's wrong? Ashley!" Scott asked as she held onto my body and looked at me worriedly.
I came to sense and took a look at her. Then I held her hand and said in a weak voice, "No... I'm fine."
There seemed to be some faint memories flashing through my mind, making me unable to recall them for a while. It was a little uncomfortable.
Hearing what I said, Scott said helplessly, "It's good that you're fine. Your face looks very bad. I'll ask someone to call a doctor for you now."
If she asked a doctor to see me, they would find that I was pregnant. I shook my head in panic and said, "No, I'm fine. I'm really fine."
Hearing what I said, Scott had to nod.
At this time, the servants downstairs had already called us to have lunch.
She took my hand and walked out of the bedroom.
When I left the bedroom, I looked back at those photos, especially the necklace in the photo.
What on earth was going on? Why did I always feel that I seemed to have seen it somewhere?
At this moment, Edward who had been silent all the time walked over. He was wearing a black suit and he looked handsome and cold.
He glanced at Scott, and then his eyes fell on me. He said to me, "I'll take you back."
"Edward," Betty called out his name immediately when she heard that Edward was about to take me home.
Edward turned around and said in an indifferent tone, "I'm just sending her back. I'll be back soon."
After hearing Edward's words, Betty raised her delicate chin and said in smug satisfaction, "Then I will wait for you."
I took a look at Betty, and there was a hint of sarcasm in my eyes. Was Betty warning me not to approach Edward?
I really didn't want to have anything to do with Edward.
"No, I can go back alone. Mrs. Fang, can you ask your driver to send me back?" I felt that my stomach was really uncomfortable. I really couldn't stand it.
In this situation, I felt that Edward was going to find that I was pregnant.
Scott was about to ask someone to send me back when Edward strode forward and grabbed my arm. He didn't care about my struggle and pulled me to the door.
I looked back and saw Scott and Betty who was angry. I couldn't help but sneer at Edward, "Edward, are you insane? I said that I don't need you to send me home. Are you deaf?"
I didn't want to have any entanglement with Edward. Even he just wanted to send me home.
I didn't even want to see him. Edward grabbed my arm with force. His strength was very great, causing me to gulp in discomfort.
"Ashley, don't make me angry."
"Making you angry? Now it's you who make me angry, let go of my hand." I frowned, looked at Edward coldly, and shook off his hand with force.
Edward's face fell. His originally cold eyes stared at me evilly.
"Ashley, do you want me to do anything else?" Edward's voice was deep and cold. His gaze was cold as he spoke to me.
Hearing his words, my face couldn't help but become a little stiff.
Edward was a man who would do what he said. I was William's wife. If Edward really did something bad at this time, there was nothing I could do...
Thinking of this, I had to hold back the anger in my heart and got in his car.
Since I had already figured it out, I would not have any entanglement with him.
In the car, it was quiet. Both Edward and I didn't say a word.
