Chapter 19 Edward had imagined countless scenarios of how Anastasia would react when he saw her again She might look at him with a blank face and tell him to get lost , or perhaps she wouldn't even want to see him at all . But no matter what he had imagined , none of them involved her being held by another man . Thinking of this , the corners of his eyes reddened . He took a few steps forward , wanting to grab her hand . But Lucian blocked her completely , leaving no gap . " Do you know this man ? " Anastasia lifted her eyes to look at him , but when she met his almost feverish gaze , she gently shook her head . She never expected that Edward would be able to find her . Even more unexpected was that , after nearly half a year apart , he had become like this .

" " I'm her husband ! How could she not know me ? And who are you to question me here ? " Edward shouted at him , his voice hoarse and desperate . God knows how furious he was when he saw Anastasia in another man's arms . So when he was questioned , the burning fire of jealousy completely consumed him . He shouted angrily at Anastasia's retreating figure , his voice tinged with unwillingness . " Anna . I really know I was wrong . I've already taught Priscilla a lesson , she will never appear in front of you again . Please forgive me , won't you ? " Seeing her pause for a moment , Edward's eyes lit up and he continued . " Tom misses you . He wanted to come with me , but he gets airsick . He repeatedly told me to make sure I bring his mom back . " " At first , I was with you because Priscilla rejected me , but later I realized that I had already fallen deeply in love with you .
