Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508

Ben opened the door to Edgar standing in the doorway.He looked exhausted, but at least he seemed somewhat unharmed.

Jean looked him up and down.

Edgar smiled at her, "I'm fine.She sat down and turned away from him.Ben handed Edgar the stick.

"She hasn't eaten much today."

He opened the door and strode out.

The door closed behind him.

Edgar carefully approached her.

"We can't go home for the time being.Please bear with it.Ben and I will figure something out’ Jean did not respond.

He was gentler than usual with her.

From Jean's understanding of him, he wasn't one to act this way unless something big was really going down.He was afraid that she'd worry herself sick.

"For the time being? How long will that be?" She cocked her head to one side.

Before he could say a word, she said, "I have no intention of leaving now that I'm here."

She had applied for a temporary visa before entering the country.

Edgar frowned.His throat felt like it was closing up; it took him a while to speak.

"Are you planning on giving birth here?"

Jean's eyes grew dim.

"I aborted it a long time ago."

She thought that her plan was foolproof.

"Is that so?"

He stared at her disbelievingly.

Finally sighing, he said, "I'm going to get you some food.You'll need some energy to talk or, in your case, argue with me."

He didn't say a word about that place or the people there.

Neither did Jean ask.She took out her phone and found a local news website.

They were covering the latest news about the plane crash.She grew grimmer the more she read.She had found herself entangled in a conspiracy.

This seaside town was quaint and remote.

There weren't any tourist attractions, and not many people visited.

Jean opened the window and saw Edgar and Ben chatting with the hotel owner downstairs.

The three of them seemed to have a mutual understanding to not mention anything about what had happened.

But choosing not to talk about it didn't mean it didn't happen.

That night, someone pounded on Jean's door.She woke up in fright.She stayed quiet, hoping that whoever it was would go away.

There was a cry and then silence.She slipped on her slippers and carefully made her way to the door when a voice called out, "Go back to sleep.I'll keep you safe."

Her mind went blank.

She didn't respond.

Slowly, she reached for the doorknob and forcefully pulled it open.

Edgar was leaning against the doorframe on the other side.

He frowned when he saw her.

"Go inside and rest.Leave these..."

"Do you think I'll be able to sleep?"

Jean retorted.

"Just tell me what's happened"

Edgar gave in.He called Ben over and borrowed a map from the hotel owner.

"The organization you met before...Is complicated.Basically, it involves people from four different countries, and they are based somewhere the governments cannot regulate." Ben frowned.

"Then you..."

"My father used to have some business with them.And I've also had some contact with them.Which is why I understand the way they do things."

Edgar pointed to the map.

"They mainly conduct their business around this area.I'll find us a car within these couple of days.After we cross this road, we should be able to head straight for Louisville."
