After Ruth left, Edgar made up with Adela.
They finally became a real couple, which made Carl really happy.
Occasionally, he would think of the woman who refused his money. What exactly did she want?
Perhaps he would never know the answer. Later, Edgar got out of the hospital and lived with Adela.
They became closer than they were when they got married. Adela no longer woke up in the middle of the night because she knew Edgar would never leave her again.
After a period of peace, Renee came to the Lin family. Adela was in her room practicing her flower arrangement.
Edgar was cooking in the kitchen. He knew he owed Adela much, so he just wanted to spend the rest of his life making up for it.
In the past few months, he had lost a lot of weight, and his beer belly was gone. He had recently started to work out, and his figure was much better than before.
'Adela, the food will be ready soon. You can wash your hands now." Edgar's voice came from the kitchen. Adela put down the flowers in her hand.
"Okay." When she came out of the bathroom, she heard the doorbell ringing. It was Christmas, so she gave the servants the day off.
On one hand, she wanted to spend more time with Edgar. On the other hand, she wanted to see if Edgar really meant it when he promised to take care of her.
Edgar was like a completely different person now. He treated her like she was the apple of his eye. Although he was no longer young, he was like a boy who had just fallen in love.
The hole in Adela's heart was finally filled. Every woman's greatest wish should be to be doted on by the man she loved.
She suggested Edgar take a job at Lin's Group or start a new company with her, but he refused.
He said he used to ignore her because of work, and now he just wanted to spend every second of his life with her.
Also, he planned to take her to travel all over the world next spring. He remembered that they didn't have a honeymoon.
Adela was so happy that the haggard look on her face gradually disappeared. She looked much younger than before.
When she opened the door with a smile, she saw Renee. "What are you doing here?" Her voice was not harsh, for love had softened her.
"Auntie, I'm looking for... Uncle Edgar." Renee still couldn't call Edgar Dad. In addition, Adela was here.
"He's here. You wanna see him?"
"Yes. Can I go in?" Renee lowered her head.
"Adela, who is that?" Edgar's voice sounded. Renee quickly stepped forward.
Seeing Edgar, Renee was stunned. He looked several years younger and thinner than a few months ago. He was about Ben's size now.
He was wearing home clothes and an apron, like a stay-at-home-dad. He looked nothing like the man he used to be.
"Renee, what brings you here? What happened?" Renee hadn't visited him once when he was in the hospital, so he didn't think she was there to wish him a Merry Christmas.
