Edgar and His Destined Wife

Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 427

Jean’s attitude of innocence gave the impression she was uninvolved in the whole scandal.

Sherry Summer clenched her teeth and wanted to scream at this woman.

However, she caught a glimpse of Mr.Mason sitting at the same table as Jean.She dispatched a representative to his

firm to inquire about partnering before she left for New York, but they declined.

Now, he and Jean were eating together, which indicates a formed alliance.

Sherry looked back at Edgar who was standing on the side and said coldly, “You are chasing your ex-wife, but she

doesn’t appear to want to get back together.Else, she wouldn’t eat with us”

She purposefully instigated Edgar.

They won’t pursue Jean again if they all believe she was a sentimental person.

Jean will be under their radar.

“I know”

Edgar’s expression was calm.

Jean had always expressed her feelings.

Sherry was surprised, “You’re still calm about the matter?”

“Didn’t I go out with Ms.Summer to meet your parents?”

Edgar smiled, “We are all adults.There is no need to make things complicated”

The two of them had a strong alibi, and Sherry’s entire face was stained with anger.She couldn’t believe it was just

a coincidence.

Jean ate quietly, seemingly unaware that anybody was observing her every action.

“Mr.Mason, why don’t you eat? Is it not to your liking?”

Mr.Mason grabbed up his utensils as he heard this.

They didn’t spare any respect for Edgar; they simply ate like everyone else.

But unlike Sherry Summer, the man’s expression was far from apathetic.

Instead, he was letting events unfold.

“I did my best to assist you.You are displeased and involved in a legal dispute.I can understand.”

Sherry took a deep breath and turned to face Edgar sitting next to her, “Stay if you like.I have to go upstairs with

my folks.I won’t force you any longer”

She’s grateful the ordeal was over.It was a little uncomfortable, but at least Edgar followed her.She had to abandon

her evening plans, though.Sherry Summer moved two steps ahead before turning to face Jean and Mr.Mason.

After turning around, she entered the elevator while pulling out her phone.

“Please help me instantly locate all the facts regarding Mr.Mason.Be hasty.”

Edgar is not amenable to you, so let’s start with Jean.

Mr.Mason liked her right away, so why not return the favor? “She’s gone, what are you still doing here?”

Jean said abruptly, “Your hunger is impacted by the irrelevant people who are always in your line of sight.”

She has clearly issued an order to evict the guest.However, Edgar acted as if he didn’t understand.He pulled out the

chair and sat down beside her, “It’s inevitable to eat outside.”

Seeing that Jean liked to eat the chestnut ribs very much, he picked up his chopsticks and picked a piece for her.

“Eat more, you’ve been losing a lot of weight recently.”

His actions felt strange.

Jean frowned, and was about to refuse, when she saw Edgar tilting his head and looking at her with a slight smile.

“You were not invited to sit down”

“I know.He responded with the same composure with which he had just spoken to Sherry, and Jean’s reluctance

could be seen in his customary steely eyes.She was at a loss for words to express how she was feeling just now.She

wanted to yell at him, but she restrained herself.

How did he get to be so tough now? He appeared to be able to read her thoughts even though she was only

thinking about them and not saying anything.

“Mr.Hugo, you should be busy with other things.I need a word with her.”

Mr.Mason answered stoically, “She has the right to choose who to eat with.”

The two men looked at Jean at the same time.

She tightened her grip on her napkin, “I’m sorry Mr.Mason, I’ve delayed your time long enough.I’ll treat you to

another meal some other day.”

Edgar answered for her, “Generally, another day is just a polite remark.She also knows that it is difficult to make an

appointment with you.You will bump into each other every now and then.”

Mr.Mason still smiled gentlemanly, “Vey well, if you will excuse me.”

Saying so, he picked up his suit jacket and walked out.

Jean felt a little guilty.He hadn’t enjoyed a meal the entire time.

After he left, the tension between her and Edgar had grown more stringent.

“Happy?”

Edgar was staring daggers at her.

Jean exclaimed, “Aren’t you going to be the son-in-law of the Summer family? Are you afraid of deducting points for

your performance in front of them just now? Or should I go over and tell them clearly now that you are still

entangled in divorce? Your ex-wife?”

Edgar raised his eyebrows, “You know that I’m pestering you”

Jean was forced to step back, “Get out of the way, I need to leave.”

“Fine.He got up first and made way for her.Jean walked out quickly and went straight to the front desk to check out

but was told that the payment had already been made.

“Is it Mr.Mason who just left?” Jean thought in his heart.

Perhaps, he owed Mr.Mason another favor.

But the waiter looked at the checkout record and shook his head, “It was paid by Mr.Royden.”

“Count this as a favor.”

Edgar walked over with a trench coat in his hand and naturally, put his coat on her shoulders.

“Anyway, you owe me more than this.”

“Stop following me!”

Jean sounded desperate.He took off the coat and stuffed it back into his hand.

But the more she dodged, the tighter Edgar chased after her.

“There are not many taxis here, let me see you off”

The night wind came slowly, blowing the broken hair by Jean’s ear.She opened her mouth, and her voice cracked,

“Some things are too late now.”

Edgar looked at her without saying a word.

“Back then, you did help me a lot” cried Jean.

“But ask you to do any of those things?! I don’t want to owe you anything, can’t you understand that?”

There was a shakiness when she said those words.

Words that were held back for some time now.

Her nails dug into her palms.

“I don’t want to bet my life on trusting you anymore because every time you’re in my life, you ruin a piece of me”

She smiled bitterly, and tears streamed down her face.

“I’m not smart enough to see through you, I Know that.”

She sighed, “But I don’t want to rely on you to live.Anyone may come into my life, but you, Edgar, you just can’t”
