Chapter 415 - The visitor

The little boy who had been holding back tears began to sob, his boy shaking from the intensity of his crying. A stray tear fell down Amy's left cheek but she didn't give in to the urge to pet him.

"Is it true?" Amy asked again, her hand gripping Edward's tightly.

"No." Gu Zhou managed to get out.

"I only bent down to pick the stone and when I looked up, Rocky was not there. I only bent down to pick the stone." Gu Zhou kept repeating.

Amy's tears started falling well now, she didn't know what happened out there on that cliff but she was not going to let anyone frame her brother for something he didn't do.

"You won't go to school tomorrow; I know you didn't do it but we have to obey the school's instruction. You will also write an apology letter to Rocky."

When they got home, Amy made Gu dinner then sent him to his room to rest. He had been shouted at enough in school, she was not going to do the same thing to him.

Although she was terribly angry that he had gotten himself into a mix up like this.

"Thank you." She whispered.

Edward turned her around and kissed her softly. His fingers went into her hair and started massaging her scalp causing Amy to sigh into the kiss.

Her hands went up his c.h.e.s.t and just stayed there, the contact and the kiss doing very much to calm her nerves.

Edward broke the kiss and moved his lips down to her neck and nuzzled it before l.i.c.k.i.n.g the flesh.

His fingers came out of her hair and grabbed her behind, pressing her firmly against him.

"I need to get some things done Edward, we can't." Amy said.

Edward stopped and looked at her.

"Is it because of Gu?"

"There's that and the project that we left unfinished before we got the call."

"We can handle the project later Amy. Right now, I want to help you relieve some of the stress you're feeling."

Amy giggled and shook her head, dropping it onto Edward's c.h.e.s.t.

"no, Edward. Please?"

He sighed; he didn't ever want to pressure her into doing what she didn't want so he agreed. He placed a kiss on her forehead and let her go.

********

Two days after Gu Zhou went back to school, Amy got another call to come down to the principal's office and her already frayed nerves got even more jingled.

This time, Edward followed her into the main office to speak with the principal. The man was a bit intimidated by Edward's presence but did his best not to show it even though Edward saw right through him.

"We don't know why Gu Zhou has started acting up all of a sudden, this is very much unlike him." The principal was saying.

"Yes, Mr Geoffrey. You must have made some mistake; Gu Zhou would never do any of these things that have happened."

Mr Geoffrey sighed.

"And there is no problem at home? Nothing that might make him want to act up?"

"What are you saying?" Edward asked, moving forward in his seat.

Amy reached out to hold him back, not wanting Edward to make a scene. The principal was a little jolted at Edward's tone and thanked the universe that this was not Gu Zhou's guardian.

"It's only standard questions I have to ask Mr Wu, I am not implying anything."

"Forgive my boyfriend, he's just as worried about Gu Zhou."

What Edward worried about was the fact that he couldn't punch this obnoxious man in the face. Neither could he threaten him later as that would be very bad for Gu Zhou.

"We aren't going to punish him because up until now Gu Zhou hasn't gotten into any trouble but we are going to keep investigating what happened."

"Thank you, Mr Geoffrey."

"He can have the rest of the day off; Mrs Norm hasn't forgiven him yet and I would hate to see her get upset again."

"I completely understand."

"Why the hell is all of this happening?" said a frustrated Amy.

Amy paced in front of the fireplace, a wine glass in her hands and a worried look on her face.

This was the second incident in the span of four days, involving someone that couldn't even hurt a fly. Something was terribly wrong somewhere; even Edward was beginning to see it.

"Should I punish him, get him a therapist? Am I missing something?"

"Amy calm down okay? We will figure this out together."

Amy kept on pacing though, what if Gu Zhou did something again that led to him being expelled?

That was a very bad thing to have on your report card in this country, she didn't want her brother ruining his future before it even began. Edward went to Amy and took her in his hands, placing a peck on her cheeks.

"Sweetheart, you're not going to achieve anything with all this pacing. How about you go lie down, while I have a nice chat with him."

"No, no chatting. Let him stay there and think about what he has done."

Edward chuckled; he had never understood that punishment. His father had made him do it a lot, Edward had either slept off all the time or played games.

He never once thought about the sins he had committed. He really wanted to make love to Amy but she was already very agitated and wouldn't let him so he made her lie down.

Edward didn't go home that night until he made sure that both Amy and Gu Zhou were both okay.

He didn't actually want to leave them but he had some security clearance to take care of and a meeting with one of his intel's.

"Welcome back boss, you have a visitor." Viktor – his right-hand man – greeted as Edward came down from his car.

"Who is it?" asked Edward.

"Alexa Yang."
