When I Met You
Chapter 23 Vanessa's Slap

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..."

Scott didn't even finish when Edward cut the line.

Because Vanessa was so close, she heard everything Scott just said.

Even though it was not Susan calling, but it was about her.

"Edward..."

Vanessa said his name carefully.

But Edward already went out to grab his coat and said, "Don't cry no more, eat something, I still have things to take care of." "Okay."

Vanessa knew that she couldn't hold him back, so she agreed.

The moment Edward went out of the door, she ran to him, and hugged him again.

She buried her head in his back, and asked, "Are you divorcing her for me?"

"It was already agreed on when we got married."

Edward replied.

Vanessa bit her lips and said, "Edward, thank you for loving me all these years."

When she said that, she let go of him, allowing him to leave.

Edward left her with a "hum".

When Edward sat in his car, he remembered his attitude towards Vanessa, why did he not say yes when she asked if he was getting divorced for her? Logan didn't like Vanessa for being in the entertainment business as a actress who made her name by sexy, and wanted Edward to replace a girl with more education.

To make him break up with Vanessa, who was abroad at that time, he even used the stock shares to bribe him.

Only if he got married, he would get 51% of the company's share.

At that time, the relationship between Edward and Vanessa was difficult, she decided to focus on her career, and gave up on being with Edward.

At the same time, Edward found Susan, who was going to get married to him.

To be exact, when he was with Susan, Vanessa wasn't even around.

Only when she was back in the country again, she appeared in his life again.

Susan stayed in the hospital for a long time to take care of Ruby, her temperature finally went down, but when she fell asleep, she clang on to Susan's hand, not allowing her to leave. Susan saw that it was already getting dark outside, she hesitated, then called Edward.

Edward picked up the phone quite fast.

This was unusual for him, but she still told him straight up, "Edward, I will be taking care of Tina's colleague's child, they went for a meeting, I won't be able to go home today." She told him the truth about the situation, but not who the child really was.

"Okay."

Edward said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Ed, kisses."

Susan obviously sounded happy, she was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly remembered the voice recordings from last night.

She said hurriedly, "Ed, last night when I was giving you a bath, Scott recorded what I was saying, it sounded very ambiguous, and now it's going viral in the internet."

"I will take care of it."

"Thank you, I gotta go."

But right then, Edward suddenly asked her, "Is your face okay, did Vanessa slap you hard?"

"What?"

Susan was suddenly alarmed.0000
