Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483

After Hiram was done with the documents, he approached Edgar tentatively with a nervous grin plastered on his face.

"I'll be going to the police station now, Mr.Royden.Thank you for understanding."

Edgar had everything he needed to persecute Hiram if he did not cooperate.

However, Edgar wanted to spare him some pain.He decided that if Hiram would turn over a new leaf, he would withhold some evidence, which would reduce Hiram's sentence.

Edgar nodded and watched as Hiram bowed deeply before he left.

"If I were spared, Mr.Royden, I hope I can spend the rest of my life serving you"

"You'll get the opportunity"

Jean blinked at them.

"Why didn't you tell me that you could do this? I wouldn't have bothered Sherry if you told me before this!"

She was mildly annoyed that she now had to manage things on her own.She was down by one help now that Hiram had decided to turn himself in.

"Let's go back.You must be hungry..."

Edgar smiled at Jean as he passed her hat to her.

Jean raised her brows in surprise — she was hungry! Jean allowed Edgar to escort her out of the Royden Tower.

To her surprise, the noisy screams of the reporters were replaced by a peaceful silence.

"Let's go home."

Edgar beckoned to her as he opened the car door.

Jean bit her lips in astonishment as it had been ages since she heard this request.

Once she was safely in the car, Edgar started the car, and they began their journey back home in silence.

"I think we should withdraw the lawsuit against Sherry.You and Sherry have a good relationship.Would you be upset if Sherry were dragged to court, which would ruin her reputation?"

Edgar frowned, but before either of them could respond, Edgar's phone rang.

Shimmying his phone out, Edgar saw that the caller was Nathan and quickly picked up the phone.

"I heard that Jean went to your company to help you out.Are you guys closer now?"

Nathan's voice boomed out of the car speakers as Edgar's phone was connected to the speakers through Bluetooth.

Edgar coughed once as a signal for Nathan to stop talking, but Nathan was oblivious.

"I told you, didn't I? It does not matter how kind Jean is — she is still a woman.Did you even take her feelings into consideration during your divorce proceed-—"

"Stop it, Nathan!"

Edgar yelled as he pulled onto the shoulder of the road.

"I'm with her."

Jean watched as Edgar unbuttoned the top button of his shirt as if he suddenly felt like he was suffocating.

"I know! You're..."

Nathan began but immediately caught on to what Edgar was talking about.

Appalled, he could not help but let his jaw drop as the words on his tongue evaporated.

Jean grinned at Edgar's side profile as she savoured Nathan's apparent fear.

After a moment, Nathan's meek voice sliced into the silence.

"I wanted to tell you that I reserved a table for two in Riverside Restaurant.They have a great variety of dishes.Get over there, quickly!"

Nathan immediately ended the call.

"Oooo, this is bad..."

He whispered to himself as he dabbed sweat from his crown.He intended to use this opportunity to butter Edgar up so that he could get the next project.

However, his mistake would cost him.

Edgar sighed when he heard the beep that signified the end of the call.

Turning to Jean, he scratched his head, abashed.

"Please don't take Nathan seriously..."

"Let's go to Riverside since he reserved a spot for us - it's on the way too, right? I heard that the place is pretty good and would only admit VIPs"

Edgar nodded quickly.

"Let's go now"

He was surprised that she did not mind Nathan's comment.
