When I Met You novel Chapter 23

Edward looked at Vanessa, he grabbed some tissues and wiped her tears from the cheeks, then he said seriously, "If you keep crying then you might really lose me, you know I care about appearance."

Edward was trying to make her laugh.

Vanessa then laughed, she wiped her tears away, and sighed, then she looked at Edward with pitiful eyes, "Edward, I made a mistake."

Edward looked at her and asked, "What did you do?"

"You have to promise to forgive me first."

Edward had a very soft heart and said to that, "Whatever you did, I will cover for you."

"I was hit by Ms. White."

Vanessa bit her lips and looked as if she was in a pickle.

"Susan?"

Edward paused and thought, "Why would she hit you?"

He knew that she wasn't the person who would just hit others without reasons.

When Edward asked her about that, Vanessa was a little sad, but she sighed and admitted her mistake.

"Because I started it, I thought she seduced you, but..."

Vanessa hesitated about the other half of the sentence, she didn't know how to say it.

"But... you found out she is my wife?"

Edward stared at Vanessa for a while, he knew that she had trouble saying it out loud by just looking at her expression.

"Will you blame me for hitting her?"

Vanessa cried even more when she asked that.

Edward reached out a hand and pulled her into his arms, then he wiped her tears again, "You slapped her, and she slapped you back, and your face is swollen too, it's okay, don't cry..."

"Why did you marry Ms. White?"

Vanessa looked up with her blurry eyes, she sniffed and asked, "All those years, have you ever had feelings for her?"

"Ms. White is so pretty, and she is kind, she seems so capable..."

Vanessa asked a whole bunch of questions.

Edward didn't know which one to reply first, he just looked at her, frowning.

Suddenly Vanessa went to hug Edward, she pressed her lips on his, and kissed him with urgency.

Edward didn't kiss her back, he just felt her kiss, trying to get into his mouth unsuccessfully, so she gave up in anger.

Vanessa looked red in the face, and stomped her feet.

Edward was looking at her, then smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, we already agreed to get divorced."

Only then, Vanessa finally smiled, she stood on her toes again to kiss him.

Just as she was about to give herself to him, Edward's phone rang.

It was Scott.

Edward took the call.

On the other side of the line, Scott's voice was calm and curious.

"Hey Edward, do you have a child somewhere out there? If so, take her home!"

Edward frowned, "If you have nothing important to say, hang up."

"Hey, hey..."

Scott was a little anxious, and said quickly, "Is this not important? I am worried about our family! I went to the hospital today and saw Susan with a little girl. They looked in harmony, that must be your daughter, right?"

"Gosh, she is already that age..."
