Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451

Edgar feigned nonchalance, turning around to look at Jean fondly.

They sat right next to each other, just like an ordinary couple.

Jean shifted to the side and heard the argument between the people in front of her.

"We can't carry out this case! Why are we always getting the worst?"

"I think the law firm takes too much commission."

"Shh! What if we are overheard?"

Jean recalled everything that had happened in the law firm earlier that day.

Did Edgar plan this out, or am! overthinking? Meanwhile, Edgar looked at her with a ghost of a smile on his handsome face.

After those people got off the bus, he didn't explain himself.

At the following stop, Jean also alighted and walked away from the bus stop, ignoring Edgar's tail.

She took a few steps forward before turning around.

"When did you realize?"

Edgar's expression became colder, but he replied warmly, "Since your return.Upon hearing that, Jean's expression immediately changed.I feel like all my plans have been seen through.it's so uncomfortable to be controlled and spied on.She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Let's talk’ Edgar's gaze darkened.

"Sure."

He had never been so compliant with her.He seemed to have become a completely different person at that moment.He matched her pace as he walked alongside her and kept a comfortable distance between them so she wouldn't feel pressured.

As time passed, the frown on her face eased.

They reached a river.

The breeze ruffled her hair slightly but didn't mess up her thoughts.

Looking at the water, she plucked up her courage and said, "I didn't tell you the truth because I didn’t know how to face you"

Edgar remained silent, but his expression clearly showed his attitude toward the matter.

Indifference and hesitance were apparent in his eyes, with the former stronger than the latter.

Jean clenched her fists as she explained gently at a slow pace.

"From the furniture you sent back to Eyer Residence, I found Dad's stuff.He knew your intention of marrying me, yet he didn't stop you.Perhaps he was hoping you would put the grudges behind you"

Unfortunately, he didn't get to see it happen.

Jean pursed her lips and turned around to face the sun.

"Edgar, I don't hate you, and I mean it"

She used to sob and resent her misfortunes.

When daybreak arrived, her rationality would remind her of all the amends he tried to make.

"Even though I'm your enemy's daughter, you still treated me well.Putting myself in your shoes, I can't hate you any longer."

With that, her head drooped.

Finally, she could express the suppressed thought in her mind.

As she slowly unclenched her fists, she added, "Oh, and I looked up the records at the hospital and found out that you weren't responsible for Dad's death.He already had a heart problem, to begin with"

He should be unequivocal on that.

Jean waited, but there was no reaction from Edgar.She lifted her head to check and met his conflicted yet gentle gaze.

He slowly raised his hands to lift her chin up.

"Thank you for forgiving me."

He pulled her into his embrace.

At that moment, they were finally able to contend with their past and put it behind them.

However, the weather suddenly changed.

In no time, cloudy skies hovered over them.

Edgar quickly brought her to the nearest convenience store to get shelter.

When they arrived, rain poured down from the sky.
