Chapter 473
"You can say that."
Edgar's eyes were icy.He looked at her for a while, and his tone finally softened.
"You can't help even if you stay back.It would further complicate things.You also hope for this to be solved as soon as possible, don't you?"
Jean was very reluctant.It seemed like she would only become everyone's burden if she stayed.Her expression was indifferent, and she took a deep breath in.
"Let's go to the airport"
Although she said it, she was secretly planning something else.
Sherry had stirred things up in the race, and everything was a mess.
Jean hadn't been able to carry out her plan.
If she returned to the country like this, it would be hard to find an opportunity to break away from Edgar.
What if...
She didn't show her sad expression.
When they reached the airport, she said that her stomach hurt.
"I want to go to the washroom."
She took a few steps before she stopped.
"Why don't I get some medicine for you?" Edgar said in a deep voice.
Jean shook her head at once.
"No.I have special reasons.I'll go on my own.Jean took a few steps forward and turned back to glance at Edgar.He was in a black coat and was still standing in the corner.She didn't know if he had understood her hints.Didn't she make it clear? Jean looked down at her lower abdomen.It wasn't obvious.
She idled in the washroom for a while and pretended to be exhausted as she walked out, but she realized that Edgar wasn't at the same spot.
Jean looked around in astonishment and saw him walking out of a fast-food restaurant with burgers and fries.
The fragrance was hard to resist.
"Are you hungry?"
Edgar raised his hands and handed them to Jean.
"We still have to wait to board the plane.You can eat.I'll carry everything else."
The two of them were alone because Miles was handling the check-in procedures.
Jean couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance.She unwittingly ate the portion of two people.She even devoured the crumbs.
"Do you want more?"
When she came to her senses, she noticed the man's eyes gazing at her deeply.His thin lips twitched slightly, and his voice was a lot gentler than usual.
"I'll buy more if you want to eat more."
His tone was kind, and he casually revealed a smile that was full of seductive charm.The joy in his eyes was evident.
Jean immediately let go.
"No.I'm just afraid that the food on the flight won't be my cup of tea."
She got up at once after that and headed to the washroom.She turned and secretly took a look.
Edgar was still sitting there, but he had an unapproachable expression instead.
Miles came back after the check-in procedures and saw his boss holding fast food wrappers, seeming to be in an exceptionally good mood.
"Have you eaten, Mr.Royden?"
"No."
Edgar pointed at the fast-food restaurant.
"Go and get another takeout meal."
Since she liked it, he would order more takeout for her.
Before the plane took off, Jean received a text message from Ben.
Sonny had regained consciousness, but he had to cooperate with local police investigations, so that would take some time.She wrinkled her brows and stared at her cell phone screen.
She asked in a low voice, "Even if they find that this has something to do with Sherry, they don't have a way to uncover the truth behind the scenes, am I right?"
Sherry had been a higher-level representative for Pinnacle Group for the past few years, and she made frequent public appearances.
Pinnacle Group would never let such a spokesperson get into trouble.
Furthermore, Pinnacle Group's circle of influence was overseas.
It was beyond difficult to get to the bottom of the matter.
Edgar handed her a blanket.
"Don't think about it anymore.Rest.Racing takes up a lot of energy"
He had been deeply stirred these few days.
