Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Being Mrs. Royden

“You don’t want to?” Gigi Reece’s voice was shaking slightly as she tried to figure out what he was thinking. “Edgar, do you want to break up with me?”

She still remembered how it was like when Edgar Royden and Jean Eyer were getting married. It was a jaw-dropping affair filled with glamour and prestige. The dowry was brought over by multiple cars, and among them were expensive jewelry of priceless value.

But when it came to her, he didn’t want to have a wedding? At any rate, the child inside her was “his”!

Gigi Reece resented that but didn’t dare voice out. All she could do was mumble her grievance. “If you insist on not wanting a wedding then… I’ll go with your wishes.

Gigi Reece hung her head and pretended to wipe her tears away.

Edgar Royden was troubled by her sobbing. Since she was pregnant, his icy voice warmed up slightly. “After what happened at the last wedding, having another one won’t look good for both families. Furthermore, you’re pregnant. You shouldn’t tire yourself out.”

“Do you mean I can keep the child?” Moreover, Edgar Royden’s tone sounded like he still cared for her.

A smile swiftly reappeared on Gigi Reece’s face. She held on to Edgar Royden’s arm and said, “I knew you didn’t come back for Jean Eyer. She’s no longer important to you, right?”

Edgar Royden’s arm stiffened and he didn’t speak for a while.

Gigi Reece said flirtingly in a self-absorbed manner. “Let’s not have a wedding for the time being, but to compensate, you have to take a few days off and go with me to fashion week! This is the new itinerary the company planned for me and I want to go.”

“Didn’t you previously say that you’d leave the entertainment industry?” He asked in a low voice.

Gigi Reece replied coyly, “Please let me go, I want to go. I need to have my own career before I can be worthy of you! Likewise, the fashion week is especially important to me.”

His mind flashed back to the night before he and Jean Eyer got married.

She tucked away the letter she just received from the design school and laughed, “Since you like me staying home, I won’t further my studies. After getting married, I’ll let go of my affairs at the company to just become Mrs. Royden. Don’t worry too much about my dad, I’ll convince him.”

She really did it.

From the wedding preparations to leaving the workforce, everything Jean Eyer did was very efficient. Edgar Royden never had to say more which also made him look good in front of others.

This even made him think about how if the two families didn’t have such an intense feud, would they have been able to spend a lifetime together?

Every decision Jean Eyer made prioritized their marriage. With just a word from his mouth, she could let go of her dream opportunity to study abroad in order to plan a home that was their own.

Even if he neglected her for two years, the text messages and gifts she sent were full of warmth.

He wasn’t speaking but Gigi Reece was still going on. “Being pregnant at home is actually very boring. Do I really have to be a housewife?”

Edgar Royden didn’t respond.

Gigi Reece panicked. She was just testing him but the man shook her hand off. He got up suddenly to leave. “It’s your life. You decide.”

“Really? So, you agree to let me stay in the entertainment industry.” Gigi Reece was overjoyed.

She didn’t notice at all how Edgar Royden was acting differently.

The man just said, “Mm.”

The mirror reflected his chiseled side profile. The only person who he could control in the past was Jean Eyer. There would never be another one.

“Edgar, the sky isn’t bright yet. Do you want to stay here with me?” Gigi Reece made a move to take his hand. “Do you not want to stay with our child?”

Edgar Royden pulled his hand back and said flatly, “No.”

With just that one word, he left.

Memories were surging in his mind. The day Jean Eyer miscarried, he heard her cries in the hospital corridor.

That was his child, too.

He sat in the car and smoked one cigarette after another. What played on the radio was static from early morning broadcasts.

It was almost dawn when he turned the steering wheel and drove to the office.

A few minutes later, a car stopped at the elevator. Gigi Reece was wrapped in a windbreaker as she got in the car.
