Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute
Chapter 145 You Are Enjoying Your Life

On the third day, the rain finally stopped. The sun came out.

The weather forecast didn't lie this time.

Starry woke up before sunrise. She grabbed a scissor and picked nine roses from the garden.

She was not going to buy flowers this year. She would just bring some from her garden to visit Sebastian.

Just as she was about to go back to the villa, Starry saw a person standing out of her gate.

She frowned slightly, walked to the gate with the flowers in her hands, and looked at Edward.

"Starry."

Edward looked at her warily, afraid that she would ask him to leave.

Starry pursed her lips and pressed on the switch, "When did you come over?"

"Today."

In fact, Edward came over directly from the airport last night. He knew that Starry was back, but he didn't dare to ring the doorbell when he thought about the past two months. Catherine was right, no matter if he agreed, Starry treated him only like a family. His asking for more would only push Starry further.

If they couldn't be lovers, being family was also fine.

Edward had understood that he had to thank Sebastian.

Starry glanced at Edward, "Did you come back last night?"

Edward nodded. "Yeah"

Having been standing there for an entire night, Edward was exhausted, and pale.

Starry sighed, "Come in. And don't do this again."

"Excuse me."

Edward followed Starry into the villa.

Coming once again to the familiar villa. Edward felt complicated.

He bought the villa with the money he earned from his first show and endorsement. The interiors were all done according to Starry's taste. He couldn't be more familiar with this place. He had thought that he would be his man, yet it proved that for her, he was only like a brother.

Well, he could term with that.

Starry handed a glass of water to Edward. "It's still dark outside, go get some sleep."

"Okay, Starry."

Edward took a big gulp of water, which warmed him a little.

Starry took out a blanket from the guest room and gave it to him, "I'll go make breakfast. The guest room hasn't been used for a while. So, take the sofa for now."

"Thank you, Starry."

Starry looked at Edward and sighed slightly, "It's okay, sleep now."

Edward was indeed very sleepy. He quickly fell asleep under the blanket.

Starry made some cereals and muffins.

It was getting brighter. At 7:20, Starry went out of the kitchen and put the breakfast on the table. Then, she went to the sofa. Edward was in deep sleep. Starry looked at him for a few minutes and called out. Edward hadn't slept so well in a long time.

If he hadn't heard Starry calling out to him, he wouldn't have wanted to wake up.

Seeing him open his eyes, Starry handed him a glass of water. "Breakfast is ready, after breakfast, let's visit your brother's grave." "Okay."

The weather was nice in spring.

Starry got the car the day before yesterday and she hadn't really got used to it. Parking in the grave took them a while.

Finally parking the car, Edward unbuckled his seatbelt, picked up the roses and bags in the back seat, and waited for Starry on the side.

The weather was good. There were many flower vendors outside the cemetery.

The visitors were more than usual too.

Edward was a celebrity. Afraid that he would be too eye-catching, Starry said, "Give me the flower, you put the mask and hat on."

Edward did as he was asked.

Starry smiled at him. "Let's go inside."

Looking at her smile, Edward kind of felt like crying.

They walked side by side into the cemetery. First, Starry homage to her parents and grandmother. Then, she went to Sebastian's tombstone.

Edward had already cleaned Sebastian's tombstone. The visitors of the tombstone next were chattering.

Starry put down the roses. "I planted them last year. They are beautiful, look."

She had a smile on her face when she spoke.

Her beautiful eyes reflected the teenager on the tombstone. Starry reached out and touched Sebastian's picture, looking at it without saying more. Edward tried to say something, but in the end, he didn't.

There were too many people. So, they didn't stay long in the cemetery.

They happened to run into the Pearsons by the time they were leaving.

"Old lady."

"Is your leg okay now?"

Frances nodded and then looked at Starry's left leg.

"I'm alright now. Thanks for asking, old lady. How is your headache? Does it still bother you a lot?"

"Yeah, better. Thank you."

It was not a place for chatting. They were blocking the way of passengers.

"I'll visit you another day."

"Okay, bye."

Starry nodded and then walked past the man.

Filip could smell a faint scent of roses. He looked in the direction of the tombstones that Starry had come from and found a bouquet of roses. Frances and other people had walked forward, Filip came back to his sense and followed up.

Outside the cemetery, Starry and Edward bumped into someone.

Seeing Jackie Hill, Starry's face changed.

Edward protected Starry behind his back almost out of instinct. Yet Jackie had seen her. "It's been a while, Starry, you look good."

Starry pushed Edward a little and went forward, meeting with Jackie's eyes. "Long time no see."

"What are you doing here, you heartless witch!"

"And you," Jackie said as she looked at Edward, "how can you stand being with the woman who killed your brother?"

Edward's face immediately changed when he heard that. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"What I am talking about? She didn't tell you how Sebastian died, did she?"

Subconsciously, Edward looked at Starry, whose face and lips had turned deadly pale.

She looked scary.

Jackie stared into Starry's eyes. "You've been enjoying your good life these years, haven't you? You got married to a rich guy. And you got famous after divorce. I feel so sorry for Sebastian. You wasted his sincerity. Now, how do you even dare to come here? You are a murderer. Your life should be miserable."

Edward couldn't stand it anymore. He covered Jackie's mouth. "Enough! It was an accident. Why are you blaming it on Starry?"
