Chapter 270 Bargaining Chips
“Edgar!” Gigi immediately jumped out from under the blankets. Her face clearly showed how excited she was.
“How come you’re here so early?” Gigi asked with a shaky voice and a blush on her face. She forced a smile, and her heart was beating a mile a minute. She did not know if he had heard what she said.
Edgar was holding breakfast in his hand. When he saw her reaction, he frowned, “I came to see you before going to the office.”
No matter how he felt, Gigi was still carrying his flesh and blood. Although he did not feel the responsibility and love a father should have, he would do what was required of him.
Gigi clutched the blanket and stealthily hung up the call. After recollecting herself, she hid her phone and got out of bed. She reached her arms out and slowly encircled the man’s bicep. She leaned on him.
“I knew I had a place in your heart.”
“Take your time. I have a meeting to go to.” Edgar said as he looked at the dishes.
“Edgar, if you have time, why don’t you think of a name for our child?” Gigi’s smile was innocent, as she fluttered her eyelashes at him.
“I think our baby will definitely like the name you give him.”
The ice in Edgar’s eyes seemed to melt a little.
“Okay.” He said and left.
Gigi immediately dropped into a chair the moment the door closed.
“That was close.” She sighed a sigh of relief.
She was about to lock the door to prevent anyone else from coming in when Winnie pushed the door open with a bright smile on her face.
“Gigi, you could never guess what Edgar just told me.”
“What is it to make you so happy? Gigi said nonchalantly. “He came to bring me breakfast.”
“No no no, you’re thinking too shallow. Edgar told me that he’s going to get his assistant to come to deal with some property paperwork this afternoon. He’s giving you a house!”
“A house?” Gigi’s eyes lit up.
Wasn’t this what she has always wanted? To be married into a rich family, and to become Mrs. Royden! No one would ever call her a fake ever again.
“I knew as long as I keep this child, all will go according to plan,” Gigi said proudly. “And in a few years when I give Edgar a girl, Jean would never be able to compete with me again.”
“Yes, so you should be careful. Stay away from Andy Shaw.”
Winnie had a bad premonition that Andy was not a man to be trifled with.
Gigi lowered her eyes and whispered, “He is he, and I am I. We’re only reaping what benefits us.”
She had never gotten the care and love she received from Andy from Edgar. At least there was no chance of an accident now. As long as she was careful, Edgar would never know.
Gigi lowered her head and rubbed her pregnant tummy, “I will get whatever I want.”
When Edgar walked out of the hospital, his driver was already waiting for him. Miles got out of the car and came to Edgar’s side.
“Mr. Royden, we’ve looked into the woman. This is Yvonne Hertz’s personal information.”
