At Gardner's house.
In Casey and Edith's bedroom.
Edith thoughtfully stared at Casey for a few seconds, as if she were going to see through Casey with her big clear eyes.
Being looked at in that way, Casey was embarrassed and asked, "Is there anything on my face?"
"No, no. You're not normal today. Casey, have you concealed anything from me?" Edith asked thoughtfully.
Casey was stunned at once and asked, "Why do you say so?"
"You've been not normal since we met Annabel. For example, when Annabel invited us to live in her presidential suite for one night, why did you directly refuse?" Edith stared at Casey as if she were interrogating a criminal.
Casey shrugged and said, "We've a place to live in. Why should we live in her place? Besides, aren't Fisher and Anika going to cook us a big meal for us tomorrow? If we live there, we might not be able to come back in time."
"Excuse. It's obviously an excuse. Humph, Casey, you no longer love me, right?" Edith compressed her lips and put on an aggrieved expression.
Feeling embarrassed, Casey looked at her and said, "Darling, how is it possible that I don't love you? The reason why I want to come back here is really that Fisher and Anika are going to cook a big meal for us tomorrow."
Edith ballooned her cheeks, put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't believe it. Don't underestimate the intuition of women. When I believe there's something wrong with you, there must be something wrong with you."
Looking at Edith, Casey secretly agreed with Edith. There was really something wrong with the relationship between him and Annabel. But it was different from what Edith thought.
Besides, Edith became lovelier and lovelier after she was pregnant. Casey wondered if all pregnant women were like that.
"Well, then I'll tell you. I feel that she seems to like me, so I don't want to live with her." Casey said.
Previously, Edith was going to listen to him seriously. After hearing what he said, she immediately widened her eyes.
Then she touched Casey's forehead and asked, "Casey, do you have a fever?"
Casey rolled his eyes and spoke, "I'm serious. Didn't you find that she looked at me in a strange way? Listen, men's hunch could sometimes be quite right."
Edith stuck out her tongue at Casey. After knowing the reason why Casey was not normal today, she was immediately not suspicious and spoke to him, "You're a narcissist. In my opinion, it's you that like her."
"Didn't you really find it? If that's not true, why did she want me to challenge the young master of the Chan family? It already tells something." Casey said seriously.
"She's as beautiful as a fairy. How is it possible that she would like you? Besides, you're already married. Could it be that she wants to take you away from me?" Edith lay down on the bed.
Casey silently said "yes" and thought that that was indeed what Annabel was thinking.
"Well, go to bed now. We need to help Fisher and Anika to cook tomorrow." Edith said.
"Wait. I need Annabel to do me a favor." Casey said.
"What?" Edith asked.
"Today, I defeated the young master of the Chan family. Besides, I made him lose his face in the presence of so many people. As a young master of a family like him, he wouldn't let me off. I'm afraid that he would take revenge later and that Fisher and his family would be involved in it. So, I want to take the initiative to deal with it." Casey said.
Edith nodded. In this respect, Edith deeply trusted Casey.
"Well, I'll just tell you her cell phone number. You can make a phone call to her tomorrow and tell her what you want her to do yourself. But you mustn't like her. Understand?" Edith said with her eyes wide open.
"Yes! My wife's pregnant. How is it possible that I would like other women? Tomorrow night, just cook and wait for me with Fisher and Anika. After I come back and have dinner, we'll soon go home." Casey said.
Edith nodded, lay down in Casey's arms and then slowly fell asleep.
......
On a cliff of Moon Island.
It was not a good thing, so Casey didn't let Edith go with him.
Before, Casey had asked Gardner about the location of the house of the Chan family. Now, he was heading for it.
When he arrived at the junction, he felt that someone was waiting for him at the corner. He became a little alert. When it was time for him to make a turn, he stopped.
Right at this moment, a beautiful girl wearing a long pink dress and a garland came out of the corner at once. It was Annabel.
"He, he, he. Are you scared?" Annabel asked with a smile.
Casey was a little speechless. He gave her a glance and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I come here to go to the house of the Chan family with you." Annabel said while blinking her big eyes.
"My going there alone is enough. You don't have to go there with me." After saying that, Casey continued on his way.
"No, it's not enough. I've told the people of the Chan family that the head of the Davies family and his wife would come to visit them. You can't go there on your own." Annabel immediately followed him and took Casey's arm.
Casey immediately got rid of her, stared at her and said, "What? My wife is Edith. In any case, you're not eligible to go there with me."
Annabel instantly stared at Casey with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved while saying, "I'm wrong. If you don't like it, I won't do that again. Why are you so angry with me?"
Casey didn't know how to deal with it. The last person he could cope with was the girl who knew how to turn her charm on others.
"Considering that you've sent a message for me, I allow you to go with me. However, if you dare to say anything you shouldn't, I'll turn against you." Casey spoke while staring at Annabel.
Annabel's aggrieved expression immediately turned into a smile. She went skipping forward.
"Got it. Got it. I won't do that. However, others might say something. In that case, don't blame me. After all, I did ask them to tell the people of the Chan family that Casey and his wife would come to visit them."
