Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Work Extremely Hard

The mirror in the bathroom was obscured by a layer of vapor. The man lifted his hand to wipe it. The reflection revealed his thin and cold side profile. There was no sound outside the room.

His eyes sank. The image of Jean and Ben together kept swirling around in his mind. Wearing his bathrobe, he laughed gently at himself.

If he had known earlier what it was that he wanted, he wouldn’t be so tortured at the moment. The door of the bathroom opened. Vapor drifted out and as expected, Jean was nowhere to be seen in the room.

He couldn’t explain the feeling in his heart.

His eyes darkened. As he was taking off his bathrobe, the door was pushed open.

Jean was startled. She turned around in a rush. “Wear… wear your clothes!”

She didn’t think that he would come out so quickly.

She had witnessed such a scene.

Edgar hurriedly put on a sweater. His Adam’s apple rumbled. “I’m done.”

Jean placed coffee and tea on his desk. She hung her head and said in a light voice, “Mm. Can we change the conditions?”

Her fingertips that were holding onto the tray tightened.

“Even if it’s being a servant in Royden Residence or cleaning the toilets in Royden Group, I’m willing to do everything except…”

Other than the way of begging that he mentioned, she was willing to put down her dignity and pride.

Saying that, she shut her eyes in pain.

Edgar’s gaze fell on her. It was filled with anxiety, conflict, and hesitation.

Jean kept looking down. Her brow wrinkled deeper when she didn’t hear a response from him.

If he didn’t agree, she didn’t have any other way.

“Can you at least give me a few more days? I’ll find a way to free Eyer Group from that predicament. One week at most. If I can’t do it, Eyer Group can be found in breach of contract. When the time comes, I will shoulder all responsibility.”

The air was still for a long time.

“How are you going to assume all responsibility?” He suddenly said.

His voice was near her. It was almost at the top of her head. “With Ben?”

Jean frowned. “Can you stop bringing him up?”

It was a matter between them. Why did he have to bring other people into it!

When she raised her head, she bumped into his shoulder.

When she looked up, she saw his extremely overcast black eyes. He slowly said, “Then stay by my side and work extremely hard until the partnership ends.”

Jean did not hear the first part of what he said. She only heard him agreeing to her negotiation, so she nodded immediately. “Alright.”

“I’ll get Miles to pass you the contract later,” Edgar said before picking up the cup of tea on the desk and finishing it in one mouthful.

Jean breathed a sigh of relief. The sound of the footsteps was further away but her heart was still pounding non-stop.

One hour later, Miles came by.

“Wasn’t it a proposal for a partnership? What is this?”

Jean frowned as she looked at the papers in front of her.

It was clear that the contract had just been drafted. The content had nothing to do with the partnership between Eyer Group and Royden Group. In fact, it was unfair clauses Edgar was using to restrict her freedom.

“This is the contract between you and Mr. Royden. If you break the contract, the partnership between Eyer Group and Royden group will be nullified immediately. Royden Group will also look into the responsibility of Eyer Group.”

Jean clenched her teeth.

She flipped to the last page and signed her name.

“Ms. Eyer, aren’t you going to read it carefully?”

“There’s no need.”

As soon as she said that, Susan came over. “Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden gave instructions just now that he wants to have a roast for dinner.”

Jean was dumbstruck for a moment. “I have to prepare it?”

Susan nodded cautiously. “Yes.”

Jean took a deep breath in and forced out a smile. “Alright, I’m coming.”

After all, it wasn’t like she had never been ordered around by Edgar.
