When I Met You

Chapter 11 So, You Still Love Him?

Susan could clearly feel Edward’s menacing and cold aura. She couldn’t utter even one word even

though it had been some time she was in the car, and only after the car had travelled some distance,

she swallowed hard and explained in a timid yet flattering voice, “He was my ex-boyfriend.”

Edward was certainly no fool. Since he was able to retrieve that wedding ring, he should be able to

guess her relationship with that man.

He simply eyed Susan and said, “Your ex-boyfriend doesn’t look half-bad either, and he looks like he

hails from a good family background. Despite that… why did you still choose to marry me?”

This was the first time Edward had pointed out such a proper and serious question in front of Susan.

In fact, Edward had brought up the same question several times previously, but it was when they were

immersed in a romantic ambience while lying in bed. For those instances, Susan would explain that

she had fallen for his looks and wealth.

As for now… Well, if she was to compare Edward and Jarvis in terms of looks, Edward had a more

masculine outlook while Jarvis looked mellower. He had the typical young handsome guy look, but he

was a tad colder compared to them.

In terms of family background… Edward was backed by an affluent family, as for Jarvis… Susan wasn’t

very familiar with his upbringing. She just knew that Kendra was the director of a hospital, and his

grandpa was a well-known professor in the medical field. However, Susan never saw his father before.

She could only make a guess that his father was probably not by his side for some time.

If she compared them in terms of family background, Edward was the wealthier one.

“Of course it’s because of your looks and money.”

Susan just wanted to breeze through this without getting into troubles. She flashed a smile at Edward

at the same time.

In response, Edward just continued to stare at her with his hawk-like eyes, “Woman, answer me

seriously.”

“That’s because his mother is in the way. His family members were against me being together with

him.”

“So, you’re saying that you still love him?”

Edward twisted his brows upwards as he examined Susan.

Susan shifted her gaze to the scenery outside the window and as she took in the passing scenery, she

replied, “Let bygones be bygones. I don’t love him anymore.”

The moment she finished her sentence, Edward abruptly grabbed her face and made it so that she was

facing him. Without warning, he pressed his lips on Susan’s lips. He was kissing her with an absolute

sense of possession. It was a different kind of kiss compared to before, and he was so domineering

that she found it hard to reject him.

In the past, Edward always kissed her with a tender sensation. Now, he was kissing her with too much

force that she even felt painful.

Only after some time had elapsed did he let go of Susan. Her lips were now completely maroon in

colour.

Edward watched Susan catching her breath and he curled the corner of his lips, “Remember what you

have just said. You can never love someone from your past from now on.”

“Roger! I only love my husband! I love you very much!”

Susan nodded with force while wrapping her arms around Edward. After a long time, Susan suddenly

snapped back to reality and asked him, “Right, my husband. Why did you come to look for me just

now? Did you have any business with me?”

“Tonight, you have to come back with me to the Ford family. My old man is gathering everyone for a

meal together.”

“Your dad?” Susan muttered. Her marriage with Edward was a secret marriage, and at most the

members of the Ford family were merely informed of this news. They didn’t organize a wedding

ceremony at that time, so she had never met Logan Ford previously.

However, she knew that her marriage with Edward would be able to reassure Logan. It was to gain the

stock equity of the Ford family’s company to her side.

They even photocopied their marriage certificate to let the old man have a look. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

As for the other members of the Ford family, Susan had never laid eyes on any of them.

“Who are they? Do you have many family members? Will… Will I make you lose face?”

Susan tested him as their impending divorce which loomed in the distance continued to peg her.

Should she join their family gathering this time knowing that they were going to part ways in a few

months?

“You won’t. We are just going to make an appearance. The whole thing shouldn’t last very long.”

“Oh, I see.”

Susan nodded thoughtfully. Then, she asked again, “My husband, why does your father suddenly call

for a family gathering when he never does any of that all along? How many members are there in your

family? Do I need to prepare any gifts?”

Although Edward never addressed his father as “dad” or “father”, Susan didn’t dare to address Logan

by his real name.

“You don’t need to prepare any gifts, I have asked someone to do that. You just need to doll yourself

up.”

As he replied her, he rubbed Susan’s nose affectionately.

Susan cracked a smile, “My husband, you still haven’t answered me yet. Why is your dad organizing

this family gathering this time?”

“I’m not sure about that too. Perhaps my eldest brother is bringing along his wife, or perhaps my dad

has finally acknowledged someone from another family. Maybe he’s organizing this to allow everyone

to cement their status in the family.”

Edward was replying in a nonchalant tone, but Susan was gaping at him with and astounded

expression.

As expected… According to the novels she had read, a noble family always had scuffles or power

struggle. His family sounded like anything could happen!
