Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Unappreciated

The man smiled. It was as if he had already made up his mind quietly. Jean stood at the door. She gritted her teeth angrily. “What do you want me to do?”

“Stay until… I’m fully recovered. “Edgar got up slowly. “After all, I got hurt because of you. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for.”

Edgar felt that his request wasn’t much compared to what the Ludwig family demanded from her when Ben had gotten injured last time.

But Jean did not appreciate his thoughts at all.

“…Fine.”

Her nails dug into her palm and she cursed Edgar quietly.

From that moment onward, Edgar made her do everything he could think of. Jean even had to peel oranges for him.

Jean’s unwillingness was clearly shown all over her face.

Edgar lowered his head and glanced at the magazine in his hand. He spoke without looking at Jean. “You should feel lucky that I only injured my head and elbow. If it’s more serious, you might never be able to leave this house.”

Jean threw the orange peel into the bin.

She snorted nonchalantly. “Then I shall thank Mr. Royden for his generosity.”

“No problem.”

Edgar clearly knew what he was doing.

He wanted to make her stay by his side no matter what.

He did not even care if she liked it.

“Jean, I want coffee.”

“Jean, get me a book.”

“Jean, type out a document for me.”

He did not move at all. Jean, on the other hand, was working hard and sweating profusely from all the errands Edgar was making her do.

Susan could not help but offer herself, “Master, if there is anything I can help with, please tell me.”

After all, Jean was not used to this type of work.

However, Edgar ignored Susan.

Jean sighed and got up. She held her laptop and said, “Speak.”

“This is an official statement from the Royden Group…” Edgar paid no attention to Jean’s status at all. He was making Jean his stand-in secretary. Jean had to type out what he said.

Jean frowned. She glanced at Edgar several times while typing the document.

How does he manage to remember so many professional terms?

Although Edgar had slowed down purposely for several instances to wait for her, it was still tough for Jean to catch up.

She finally completed typing the document after half an hour.

“Have a look at it…”

“Just send it to Miles.” Edgar did not even glance at it.

Jean stared at him for a while before saying, “Aren’t you afraid that I’d change the content?”

Edgar suddenly smiled. “You wouldn’t do that.”

He trusted her.

At that moment, Jean felt an inexplicable anger surge up in her. It was as if he had complete control over her.

Just as Jean was about to start a fight with Edgar, the maid came with several senior managers of Royden Group.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Jean standing in front of Edgar. She was in loungewear, and her hair was not up.

It was as if they had entered a couple’s home.

“Mr. Royden, we…”

They exchanged glances and quickly said, “We will wait outside!”

Jean was stunned as well. She wanted to run upstairs.

However, on second thoughts, if she ran away like that, it would make her look more suspicious!
