Chapter 419 - Holding on (1/2)

She could taste iron in her mouth before the feel of liquid registered in her senses. Her last thoughts were about who was going to take care of Gu Zhou as she was about to die.

Alexa smirked and adjusts her suit jacket; she had warned her but she's at hard of hearing. Picking up her purse, she walked out of the house like nothing had happened.​​

Edward was a stubborn and insistent man; Amy would just have to learn to love that part of him too and accept it. He had started working but had grown tired and had started missing her very badly.

Nothing was more important than Amy, not even his work. So, he had packed everything up and put on his suit jacket.

He was going over earlier than was expected; of course, she was going to be mad but the make-up s.e.x was always the best.

Edward decided to get some food even though she was going to cook, they could always eat it as breakfast the next day or a midnight power snack. He also got her some ixora's from her favorite florist.

Edward berated himself a little as he drove to Amy's house, his face all smiley and his heart beating faster with every mile he covered.

He was the head of a very powerful organization but couldn't seem to focus anymore because of one tiny human being. He would have to pick up his slack at some point but that point was not today.

Edward drive as fast as he could, his arms itching to hold Amy again; she fit so perfectly against him.

Just as he was pulling up into her driveway, he saw Gu Zhou coming down from a jeep and wondered why the young boy was just coming home now.

He went over to greet the woman that was dropping him off and to also make sure that Gu Zhou was okay.

”How was school today?” asked Edward as they walked to the house together.

”It was awesome, we played a lot of games.” Gu Zhou replied, happiness clear in his voice.

”What about studying?”

”We did that too, a little bit.”

Edward parted his shoulder, head only asked because he knew Amy would ask. That had been the primary reason for the sleepover and he wasn't sure she was going to like the sound of Gu Zhou having spent half the time playing games.

”Where is my sister?” Gu Zhou asked.

”She's already home.”

They both walked to the door, talking about Gu Zhou's sleep over and the fun that he had. Edward rang the doorbell and waited for an answer, when Amy didn't come rushing to get it he rang the bell again.

He began to get worried when she didn't answer after the fourth ring, that was so unlike Amy. Gu Zhou got out his keys and put it in the lock but the door came open even before he turned the key.
