Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Repaying Without Expecting Return

Jean wasn’t speaking much. It was basically Jensen speaking.

Zenith looked at them from afar. He felt that Jean had a lot on her mind. As someone from the older generation, he couldn’t ask her about it directly. He could only cough dryly. “Nathan, why don’t you have a girlfriend?”

“Me?” Nathan never imagined that their topic of conversation would be about him. “I’m still young. I’m not in a rush.”

Zenith immediately furrowed his brows. “You’re not in a rush? Your peers already have children of their own. Young people like you are busy with your career, but you need to think about your future.”

Nathan didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

He was basically digging a hole for himself to jump into. “Yes, you’re right.”

Zenith beamed. He took a sip of tea and said in a mild voice, “In the future, I hope that I have a daughter-in-law like Jeannie. I hope that our family is peaceful and beautiful and that we can go for a trip every few days and go sightseeing.”

An alarm went off in Nathan’s heart. He looked out the door from time to time.

Why isn’t Edgar here yet?

Zenith followed his gaze and looked out. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just want to move about.” Nathan came up with an excuse. He stood up and stretched his arms. He took a few steps and walked to Jensen and Jean’s side. “What are you talking about?”

Jensen smiled and said, “I’m talking about some things that happened when I was studying abroad. Jean was also supposed to study abroad, but she canceled her application in the end. It’s quite a shame.”

Nathan had also heard about this before.

Jean had made a lot of sacrifices to marry Edgar.

It wouldn’t be very beneficial to Edgar if they continued talking about this.

The light in Jean’s eyes dulled. Looking at Jensen’s graduation pictures, she said absent-mindedly, “I envy you a little.”

If she didn’t give up on her plan to study abroad back then, would things have taken a turn for the better?

Jean sighed painfully.

“Jean, you can apply now. I’m going to meet a few friends tonight to talk about furthering our studies. If you’re interested, we can go together.

The smile on Jensen’s face was open yet firm as he spoke.

In that moment, he was like a ray of sun that was shining in Jean’s life, warming her heart that had frozen over a long time ago.

“Do I still have a chance?”

“Of course. It’s the recruitment period for many good schools abroad. From what I can remember, you’re a design major, aren’t you? It just so happened that I have a classmate who is a research student in this area. I’ll help you ask about it.”

Jensen was a man of action. As he was speaking, he picked up his cell phone and made a call.

It was clear that he was extremely aggressive in pursuing Jean.

And Jean was also happy to continue talking about it.

Nathan was awfully worried. Just as he was about to do something, a servant came in. “Mr. Knox, Mr. Royden is here.”

Jean stood in front of the bookshelf and was slightly startled. She turned her head sideways and saw that familiar figure through the glass. In her heart, she was thinking that it was just a coincidence.

“Edgar!”

Nathan immediately welcomed him and lowered his voice. “You’re finally here. You almost couldn’t make it if you came any later. My cousin wants to take Jean to study abroad.”

Edgar’s brows drooped.

His gaze met Jean’s mid-air. Jean glanced at him before looking away.

The man’s hand slowly tightened. He mumbled to himself, “That’s a good thing.”

“Huh?” Nathan was confused. He used his elbow to nudge Edgar hard. “Wake up. If the two of them study abroad, they would be there for two or three years if they leave. If feelings ignite between the two of them, would you still be in the picture?”

Looking at Edgar’s indifferent appearance, Nathan sighed in frustration. “Alright. Since you’re not worried, I won’t care.”

Edgar had extremely complicated feelings.

But he wasn’t able to voice it out.
