My Sweetheart

Edith calmed down and smiled to Conor, “Hello. I am Edith Wesley. My family got an accident many years ago and I have not been back to the old house for years.”

Conor toasted to her and said, “We are destined to meet each other. So today shall we talk about the old times?”

Edith did not answer and from her pallid face, she seemed indifferent to his words.

Joseph pushed her slightly and said, “Edith, since your parents have already arranged this for you, just accept it.”

This was a warning as well as a threat.

Edith burst into tears; although she knew how cruel the man was, she still expected him to be nice to her.

However, she never imagined he was so mean to let her marry the other man.

Edith took a deep breath and kept calm. She turned to look at the man beside her and asked, “You would like me to do this?”

Joseph had some wine and answered grimly, “Edith, I am married.”

What he said made Edith almost furious, but she did not leave yet.

Zain heard Joseph’s reply to Edith and was also annoyed to say, “Joseph, how can you determine Edith’s marriage for her?”

Joseph looked up and watched Zain, “Edith lived in my family since she was a child. You, as her uncle, did nothing for her and never visited her except asking for money. So, you are her guardian?”

Then, everyone looked at Zain in irony and anger.
