Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Nobody Wanted It to Be Like This

Not long after Edgar returned to Royden Group, Miles received a call from reception. “Mr. Royden, Ms. Reece is here. She said that she must meet you, and she doesn’t seem to be in the right mental state.”

Miles was slightly concerned after he listened to the receptionist’s description. If something happened to her at Royden Group, with Gigi’s fame and popularity after she came out of retirement, it would affect Royden Group’s reputation.

Edgar signed some documents as his expression darkened. “Send her in.” Soon, Gigi hung her pale face as she stood in front of Edgar. There was no light in her eyes at all. She pursed the corner of her lips and looked uncomfortable.

From what Miles could remember, Gigi had never acted like this in front of others. She was someone who cared a lot about her appearance and image, but now…

Edgar glanced at her, and he frowned. “Why are you looking for me?” Gigi raised her head and said in a low voice, “Can I speak privately with you?”

The man waved his finger, and Miles left at once. The door shut, and only the two of them were left in the office.

Gigi forced out a sliver of a smile. With her delicate but pale face, she looked ill. “Edgar, we haven’t spoken like this in a long time.”

Edgar’s brows furrowed but he didn’t say anything.

Miles was right. Gigi wasn’t in the right mental state.

“I know that you don’t love me. To be more accurate, you don’t like me at all. I was the one who overestimated my capabilities all along.” Gigi smiled lightly. “I tricked you, and I am now suffering the consequences of my actions.”

She clutched her bag and took out a ticket to a cruise ship. She placed it on the desk.

“I want to invite you to come and have fun with me on a cruise. I will let go completely once we return.” Gigi rubbed her fingers and looked straight at Edgar.

She was looking forward to the man’s reply.

But…

“I don’t have the time.” His rejections were always ruthless.

Gigi had expected such a response.

She pursed the corner of her lips bitterly. After a long time, she slowly said, “With such a relationship between the three of us, someone has to leave first. Edgar, this is my final request. Can’t you agree to it?”

“If not, I have to look for Jean and lay my cards on the table.”

“She knows about the connection she has with me, but she didn’t tell me about it. How can such an older sister exist? Or does she hate me so much that she doesn’t want to acknowledge me?”

‘Plop’

Gigi’s tears fell and landed on the back of her hand.

Her shoulder trembled slowly. “I just want to settle this matter. If this continues, it’s not beneficial for all three of us.”

She hung her head and wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes as she spoke.

“You don’t care about me. Then what about Jean? Someone is plotting against her and setting her up. Are you going to stand by and watch?”

As she had expected, Edgar’s expression changed once she said that.

“I’ll be waiting for you at the pier tonight at six. Once we get on the ship, I will tell you about the mastermind behind the scenes.” Her eyes were filled with bitterness. “Don’t worry, I won’t trick you.”

When Gigi walked out, Edgar’s frown deepened.

Indeed. If someone hadn’t deliberately planned it, Jean wouldn’t have found Mr. Jevin. And who gave her the old photograph?

He didn’t doubt what Gigi had said. He just felt that someone might have secretly incited Gigi to look for him.

“Miles, clear my schedule for tonight.”
