Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Were They Kissing?

Jean could clearly perceive Edgar’s face darkening. Sitting across from Jean, Susan lowered her head quietly. “Tuck in, Susan. Don’t care about the others. I made this dinner especially for you.”

Edgar’s countenance became even more frigid. Susan stood up awkwardly and mumbled, “Please have a seat, sir.”

Just then, Edgar’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and went upstairs to answer the call. Jean was so satisfied seeing his sullen look that even her appetite and mood improved.

“You shall bear the consequences since you insist on making me stay. We’ll see who will be driven crazy first!”

Given Jean’s current situation, she had nothing to worry about, not even her dignity. Her only weaknesses were Eyer Group and Ben. As such, Edgar could hardly threaten her.

“Miss Eyer, sir has no intention to harm you by asking you to stay.” Susan cast a glance upstairs and whispered, “He kept asking me to take good care of you.”

Jean continued eating and blurted out of the blue, “Susan, you seem to be quite close with the Royden family. I guess you’re aware of the relationship between Edgar and I.”

Susan nodded slowly. “Yeah.” “Then do you think I’ll possibly obey him?” Wearing a wide grin, Jean asked in a light tone as if she had nothing to do with this matter. “Miss Eyer…”

“Susan, I appreciate your care toward me these few days, so I prepared this meal to thank you. Let’s stop talking about the unhappy things and annoying people, okay? Come, try this egg.”

Jean was the kind of person that would repay others’ kindness a hundredfold. Ben was the best example—because he had been benevolent to Jean, Edgar managed to use him to threaten Jean.

Susan nodded. “Thank you, Miss Eyer.”

Jean smiled. “Let’s tuck in.” However, Jean was the only one that joyfully devoured the food, while Susan looked troubled and merely ate a little before she went to clean the kitchen.

After finishing the call, Edgar went downstairs and gave Jean a death stare. To his surprise, Jean lifted her head to meet his gaze and asked, “Have you talked to the auto racing committee?”

Edgar asked coldly, “Is Ben all that you think about?”

“Yes.” To Jean, this was currently the most urgent agenda. Edgar clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “Fine. I shall show you his true color.”

Before Jean could understand what Edgar was saying, the latter dragged her out of the house. Susan walked out of the kitchen upon hearing the ruckus and saw the two leave the house. She sighed. “Both of them actually care about each other. Why do they have to torture each other like this…”

But alas, Jean and Edgar wouldn’t be bothered by Susan’s words even if they heard her.

…

“Why did you bring me here?”

Looking at the grand pub in front of her, Jean frowned disgustedly. “I’m not interested in meddling with your repulsive pastime.”

With a cold and hostile countenance, Edgar dragged Jean out of the car and croaked, “Go in.”

Jean nearly tripped and fell as a result of Edgar’s push.

She turned to shoot a glare at him and cursed him inwardly as she walked up the stairs reluctantly.

The security guards at the entrance were about to stop her, but they greeted Edgar courteously when they saw him. “Hi, Mr. Royden.”

Jean scoffed. “I knew it. Places like this are where you always go. Shameless jerk!”

Edgar rubbed his temples. Jean had already cursed him countless times today. He tried to keep his shirt on as he pulled Jean into the bar.

Numerous young men and women were jiving to the music on the dance floor.

The atmosphere was chaotic, with countless people standing outside the private rooms. Everything was beyond Jean’s imagination.

This place was even more anarchic than Luminous Club!”Hi, Mr.

Royden.” Every club manager that passed by greeted Edgar while Edgar strode directly to the private room at the end of the corridor.
