Chapter 235
"I."
Edgar gave the matter a great deal of thought before finally continuing, "If she's still willing to give birth to the baby, I'll take full responsibility.But I don't want to continue the marriage.I've already thought it through - I don't love her."
From the beginning, he had never once fallen in love with her.He had just fallen for the identity she impersonated using the pendant.
If this farcical show went on, more people would be hurt.It would be better to stop propagating the hurt any further.
Thinking about his explanation, Edbert slowly heaved a sigh.
"Alright.I'll head over to Reece Residence and explain to them.Meanwhile, you should take a good rest at home.You just returned from abroad, and you have some injuries.Alas..."
With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Edgar standing rooted to the ground.
Before closing the door, he said, "In life, you only have a few major regrets.Think it through so that you don't hurt anyone any further"
That night, Gigi went to Royden Group, sobbing her heart out.Before Edgar could get off work, she blocked his way.
"I heard from your uncle.You want to break up with me and call off the wedding, don't you?" She wiped her tears away.
"Impossible! I will never agree to that!"
She threw a tantrum in his office, ignoring the impassive expression on his face.
However, when he heard the words ‘break up’, he thought of another person.
When I sent a lawyer to discuss the divorce with Jean, was she also heartbroken? But she wouldn't throw such a tantrum.She would only get to what she wanted by hook or by crook.
From another perspective, we are pretty similar.
"Edgar, I've done nothing to bring you disgrace.If you are mad about me accepting the directors’ invitations, I promise you that I'll never go out with them again.Isn't this enough?"
"It's not because of that." He frowned.
"What is it, then?"
She suddenly stopped sobbing and walked to him in a few swift steps.
"Tell me!"
He lifted his head to look at her.
Just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Enter," he instructed as he turned around.
Jean opened the door with a takeaway box and some medicine in her hands.She froze briefly when she saw Gigi in front of his desk.
Then, she explained, "Susan asked me to drop these here.Also, you'll need to change your bandages; the medicinal lotions are here.That's all, bye"
"Stop right there!"
Gigi lifted her chin angrily and pointed at Jean.
"Are you calling off the wedding because of her?"
He's calling it off? Jean's frown deepened.I have nothing to do with that, yet she’s accusing me of it.
"It's none of her business."
Edgar's face darkened, and he pulled Gigi away, but she was making a scene, refusing to oblige and wailing loudly.
Jean wanted to leave the instant she shut the door, but she was stopped by Andy, who was walking toward her.
"Ms.Eyer, are you feeling better? I wanted to pay you a visit, but I was too late for that.Luckily, Mr.Royden is caring enough to bring you overseas for treatment"
Loud sobs and wails could still be heard from the room, while Andy was obviously scheming for something under his cunning smile.
Jean regretted doing Susan a favor by going upstairs and delivering those things to Edgar.
If it weren't for that, she would not even be bothered.
"Your hearing still hasn't recovered?" Andy asked with his eyes narrowed.
Jean remained silent and pointed at her ears before replying loudly, "I'm sorry! I still can't hear anything!"
