Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 The Answer

Ben Ludwig’s racing outfit was blowing in the wind. He only had the confidence to confess his feelings to Jean Eyer after he won first place.

Offstage, Sonny Kalzarc tossed his cap excitedly. “Attaboy, I knew you had feelings for her. In the future, our team will be an unbeatable team with an amazing couple!”

“Go get her, Ben Ludwig!” Everyone else started to chant, “Jean Eyer, say yes.”

Countless cameras were facing them, ready to immortalize the captivating moment. It must be so romantic to have the Goblet of Flames champion propose on stage. Nonetheless…

Jean Eyer wrinkled her brow. Her answer would humiliate Ben Ludwig. At this moment, the cheers slowly died down. Everyone realized the main character on the stage was silent. “Is she shy?”

“The Dark Horse is so handsome! I heard he comes from a good family. Why must he choose a divorcee?”

“Proposing right in front of her ex-husband, Mr. Ludwig must be provoking Edgar Royden on purpose!” The whispers grew louder.

Edgar Royden’s eyes intensified with anger at the commotion. He glared at Jean Eyer fiercely. It was as if he would mercilessly crush her the moment she accepted.

Onstage, Ben Ludwig held out a diamond ring. Slowly and solemnly, he said, “Jean Eyer, I know the past few years have been very painful for you, but you need to move forward. I want to be the person you walk out of hard times with!”

There were shouts coming from the audience, “Say yes! Say yes!”

Jean Eyer wavered. The ring was beautiful. As long as she said yes, she didn’t have to worry about the Eyer Group’s debts. She could safely and peacefully live out the rest of her life.

However…

She unintentionally glanced at the figure by her side. The intense gaze enveloped her. Edgar Royden, who had been staring at her from the side, felt a strange rush of envy that displeased him.

His face was cold as he tapped his wristwatch behind him.

Miles immediately communicated to the person in charge, “Mr. Royden has other schedules. Please finish the prize-giving ceremony as soon as possible.”

“Yes, of course, definitely!” Mr. Lane hurriedly gave orders to his subordinates. At this point, Ben Ludwig was so nervous that his hands were cold. He said softly, “Jean Eyer, give me an answer.”
