Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 He Would Not Give Up

He even wished to see Jean jealous. However, she continued to remain calm no matter what he said. He could not trick her into revealing her true feelings. A few minutes later, Edgar looked at the empty chair before him with a bitter smile. He felt like laughing at himself.

Jean’s words before she left still rang in his ears. “Mr. Royden, don’t think too highly of yourself. What I feel for Gigi is only pity. It doesn’t matter to me whether your marriage with her lasts.”

After saying that, she called Ben and left. However, her footsteps were unstable. She kept walking faster. Once she reached Ben’s car, she gripped the door handle and breathed in hurriedly a few times.

“Jean, are you all right?” Ben looked at her with concern. Jean nodded dully. “Let’s go. I fear there might be reporters around.”

Edgar had been deliberately playing with her. On the day of the press conference, he purposefully let her listen to Andy and Sam’s conversation. Today, he even predicted that she would come here.

It turned out that everything was under his control. Jean clutched her forehead and could not calm down even after a long time. No wonder Gigi was agitated. It turned out Edgar made her sign the agreement.

Based on Gigi’s character, she would keep pestering Edgar and not let go. Otherwise, she would keep finding ways to get close to him.

Jean tightened her coat and seemed down.

Ben noticed it immediately and turned on the heater in the car. “What did Edgar show you just now?”

He heard Jean and Edgar’s conversation but could not see what Edgar had shown her.

“He signed an agreement with Gigi stating that their wedding registration was invalid.” Jean continued slowly, “Why can’t he be loyal to one woman? Why did he do all that for?”

“Jean…”

“I know Gigi committed many wrongs, but it would be good if they could be together.”

Jean grew more agitated as she spoke. Her voice became louder.

Ben gripped the steering wheel and frowned. He steered the car to the right and stopped by the road.

“Jean, would you be happy if they loved each other?” Ben sounded doubtful.

Jean was stunned.

She gradually turned to him.

“Stop lying to yourself. Even Edgar could guess this. So how long are you going to remain in denial? Even if Gigi is your sister, you don’t have to do this for her. Unless you have another reason.”

Ben had been thinking about this matter for the past few days.

Jean was not the kind of person who would sacrifice herself for someone.

But she changed after the shocking matter. The change was so drastic that even she could not even recognize herself.

Jean looked down and said, “Ben, I don’t have a choice.”

She did not know what to do.

“I thought between the three of us, at least some of us could be happy.” She sounded lonely and helpless.

Ben felt sad as he looked at her in this state.

“What about you? Are you going to keep neglecting yourself?” Ben had more to say but could not bring himself to tell her.

She loved Edgar so much that she acted this way.

It was to such an extent that she would toss all her feelings aside.

Jean did not say anything but curled up in the front passenger seat, sinking into deep thoughts.

“I’m also a man. If my family forces me to marry a woman I don’t love, I would never be happy,” Ben added before stepping on the accelerator and speeding away.

“There’s going to be a race this weekend. You should join if you don’t have anything.”

Ben kept his focus on the road ahead and felt a hint of pain in his heart.

He sent Jean home before heading back straight away.
