Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510

On the way home, Jean would speak only when spoken to.Ben was stuck between the two of them.

It was the most uncomfortable he had been in a long time.He received a call from home when they touched down at the airport.

"I'll be heading off now.Let's figure out some options on how we can fix this."

He had no say in Jean choosing to stay or leave.

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Jean felt incredibly apologetic.

"Your company must have suffered some losses because of me’

"We're fine. Your safety is much more important.Okay then, don't hesitate to contact me if something comes up."

Ben glanced at her as if signaling something.

Jean nodded, understanding what he meant.

Their interaction was not unnoticed.

To him, it felt like there was something more between them.

"What were you guys talking about?" Edgar frowned.

He helped her lug her suitcases.

"It's got nothing to do with you.Jean spat out and walked out.

"But...Hadn't he gone to Louisville to save her with Ben? How could she treat both of them so differently?! Edgar caught up with her.He wanted her to explain.

But when he reached the entrance, he saw Rachel hugging Jean tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ms.Eyer! You scared me to death! I thought something terrible had happened to you.I was so afraid that...I'm so sorry!"

Her eyes were bloodshot.She clutched at Jean, refusing to let her go.

"I haven't been able to eat or sleep these few days.I was so afraid that something had happened to you."

"I'm fine.Don't I look okay to you? Not a scratch on me.Besides, there was no way you could predict this happening when you booked the tickets for me.Don't cry now.We're in public.Aren't you embarrassed?"

Rachel's face was covered with snot and tears.

"Next time, I'm going with you! I'll never let something like this happen to you ever again!" She sobbed.

Her concern warmed Jean's heart.

"As you wish."

It was at that moment that she realized there was no way she could leave this city.

Cold and cruel it be.

"That reminds me, Ms.Eyer, your aunt is back.She's staying at your house right now"

"My aunt?"

Jean paused before asking, "Was it because of news of the plane crash?"

"Yes."

Rachel nodded.She couldn't believe it when she received news of it over the phone.

But once she saw Julia Horton and the way she carried herself, she was convinced that Julia had to be Jean's aunt.

There were just too similar.

While all this was happening, Edgar had already moved the luggage into the car's trunk.He opened the door and got in the car.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"She's your aunt.It's only polite for me to meet her."

Her aunt was just a convenient excuse.He was not about to let Jean go home by herself.He planned to stick to her during this sensitive time.

"You'll regret it" Jean frowned.

She was saying this out of the kindness of her heart.

But Edgar ignored her, refusing to get out of the car.

Jean had no choice but to get into the car.

"You asked for it"

The car started to move.

Miles followed behind in another car.

They arrived at the Eyer's residence to see a lady in a long dress standing in the garden.

She was supervising the cleaning up of the yard.She pointed while drinking tea, all so elegantly.

Jean glanced at Edgar, who was admiring her aunt's elegance, and urged him, "There's still time for you to go.My aunt is not someone to be trifled with”

But out of all her aunts, Julia Horton was the kindest to her mother.
