Chapter 287 Chapter 287 Who is Unworthy? She wanted to let Edgar have a taste of a woman's unreserved subservience and tenderness. Then, she would dump him when he got tired of Gigi's ill temper.
This was her game. She got to dictate how she played it, and Edgar would never know how he got manipulated by her. To give an instance, the soup that she prepared for him was part of her device.
She knew Edgar would feel even more guilty if she showed him more kindness and compliance. "Why did Mr. Rocher look for you?" Edgar was taken aback, "What did he say to you?" "Nothing in particular. Just a casual chat.” Jean smiled lightly. She said while clearing the soup container, “It's just that I had no idea they were back in the country. Let's go and visit them together when you're free." "... Sure." Edgar said in his deep voice. He fixed his eyes on Jean, walked behind her carefully and then abruptly grabbed her arm.
He saw her scalded blisters when he turned her arm over. Jean instinctively retrieved her arm. "I... I was clumsy and careless." She muttered with her head down.
Edgar knotted his brows in displeasure. He didn't blher but felt sorry for her. He couldn't bear to see her delicate skin scalded and scarred.
"Don't cook again. Leave the work to the servants.” He pulled Jean into his arms. She uttered with her eyes down, "But I want to cook for you. It's okay, I can learn." How good would it be if they weren't stuck in an irreconcilable adversary like this? She would probably be Edgar's wife and have many children with him. And she would do anything for him no matter what the cost. But he didn't give her any chances to redeem herself.
"I'm not worthy of your sacrifice." His words evoked pain in her.
She had also thought about the possibility for her forgiving him if he ever confided his faults to her.
But there was no afterthought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew this man way too well. Edgar was too stubborn to admit his fault.
"What are you talking about, Edgar?" Jean looked into his eyes with a tender smile.
Had he decided to cclean with her? She was a bit nervous. She was unsure if Edgar deserved a second chance from her.
Edgar didn't say anything but stared back into her eyes. After a while, he lowered his eyes and held her hand, "You should go hfirst." Jean grew even more disheartened of Edgar. She was even resentful of him.
She retracted her gaze and gave him an agreeable hum.
She knew this man would never repent even at his last breath.
He had no remorse for her nor the Eyer family.
On the way back to the villa, Edgar's phone rang nonstop.
Jean said nonchalantly, “Go and do your thing if you're busy. I can go hby myself." "It's nothing." Edgar said while silencing his phone in the pocket.
Jean curled her lips while looking out the window, "I feel like I'm the happiest woman in the world." Thump! His heart skipped a beat. His stomach churned.
Jean didn't notice his micro expression. She leaned her head over and gently rested her head on his shoulder, "My father always toldthat you're a busy man and won't always have tfor me. He also askedto be understanding of you, not to be too dependent on you, and to take care of our child." "If I have the chance, I will tell him that he was wrong about you. I'll tell him that you love and adoreand will never break my heart. Am I right?" His heart bled when Jean said that.
She said while looking at his face to see if this man was redeemable.
However, he looked as if he was barely affected by her words.
He kept on and said to her, "I will try my best to please you." With a smile on her face, Jean slowly retired from his arms. Her eyes were cold and hollow.
At the hospital, Gigi had been calling Edgar but to no avail.
She got riled up and lashed out her frustration at the nurses and nannies. She made them do her bidding. She was nitpicking and demanding. As if those poor nurses and nannies were an outlet for her frustration. Winnie couldn't bear her haughty attitude, “Just take a break, Gigi. Stop pining over him and think of your child in your belly." Gigi snorted disdainfully, "Stop tellingwhat to do! All I know is that Edgar has been avoidinglike a plague!" She wailed bitterly. Then, she saw a nurse look at them.
She bellowed at the nurse, "What are you looking at? I'll dig out your eyes!" The nurse was terrified by Gigi's threat and almost hit the vase.
Gigi was revolted, "Are you blind? Don't break something that you can't afford!" Winnie shook her head disapprovingly, " You are going to marry into the reputable and wealthy Royden family. Can you watch your tongue and behavior, Gigi?" Gigi was a disappointment and reversal compared to the altruistic and noble Jean.
Gigi didn't bother with what Winnie was saying to her, “No point. The most important thing now is to give birth to a son and get back into shape as soon as possible. Otherwise, Edgar will never cback to me." She had sent people to find out Edgar's whereabouts but it was futile.
"Do you think I should bribe Miles? He is the one who arranges Edgar's work, if he becomes mine..." Gigi was lost in cloud of cuckoo land.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWinnie sighed disappointingly. Gigi was hopeless beyond remedy.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Just as the nurse was about to open the door, Andy broke in. Winnie hurriedly chased all the nurses out, "All of you get out now!" Contents belong to Andy stared at Gigi. He walked over and pulled the quilt.
"What are you doing? You're crazy!" He clenched Gigi's shoulders, "This is my son. He cannot be named after Edgar Royden, I'm telling you!” Winnie was dumbfounded and didn't know how to react. She wanted to wait outside in case anyone wanted to cin.
Andy quizzed harshly, "Stand right there! Are you trying to sneak out to notify Edgar?" "No, no. Why would I do that?!" Winnie frantically shook her head, "I'm just worried someone will overhear your conversation. Things will get out of control if it gets leaked out." Andy's eyes were filled with coldness and intimidation. He provoked, “Gigi Reece, do you have the guts to tell Edgar you are pregnant with my child?" "Shut up! You're insane!!"
Gigi hurriedly straightened her clothes, "I'm going to give birth soon, don't make a saerle here. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later." She wouldn't have to use Andy if Edgar was willing to have sex with her.
Now Gigi was stuck with Andy.
Andy sneered, "Even if you give birth to the child, so what? Edgar doesn't like you. Think for yourself, did he visit you in the hospital all these days?" Gigi paused dolorously.
"That's because he's busy with work. When he's free..."
"He doesn't care about you at all. He cares about his work and not youn Ironically, he had offended a bunch of people today because of Jean and Eyer Group." Gigi was startled.
"What do you mean?"
"Jean is currently living in Edgar's villa and she cto Royden Group to send him food today Instead of you, it's more likely that Jean will be your child's mother." Andy scoffed and laughed like a drain. He sniggered as if he had lost his mind, "You and I are no match for Edgar Royden!" Gigi shook her head in denial, "No, no. It's impossible." She quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes. She ordered Winnie, "Get the car ready. I want to go and find them now." She had cso far and done so much for Edgar. Edgar had to consider their child and her feelings first even if he wanted to get back with Jean.
Winnie was hesitant. Eventually, she did what Gigi asked of her.
But after their car left the hospital, Winnie quickly sent a message to Jean.
