Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 I Can’t Save Him

“What’s wrong, Edgar?” Gigi reached out for his hand, but as soon as she touched him, she jerked back instinctively from his cold fingers.

“Nothing. You should take a rest first. I have something else to attend to.” With that, Edgar prepared to walk out of the room. Behind him, Gigi plucked up her courage and asked, “Are you going to visit Jean?”

A long time ago, he once told her that he only married Jean for revenge. But why do I think that he actually likes her? A woman’s intuition is indeed funny.

“I forbid you to go.” She frowned at him. “She is already stained. You might not know about this, but she went to Luminance Villa again, and she drank with many men. On top of that, she even owed loan sharks a lot of money. I think she almost got thrown into the sea.”

“How do you know about that?” he asked sharply, turning around to walk to her. “I clearly told you to stay out of this and take a good rest at home, yet you ignored my instructions?”

Three chances are all I’ll give. I have already given her ample chances.

“T-That’s not the case, Edgar. I overheard it from my friends, who told me about this casually, since you were once married to Jean.” She quickly found an excuse. Worried that he would not believe her, she pretended to take her phone out. “They were my celebrity friends. You can have a look at our chat history, if you don’t believe me!”

She was positive that Edgar would not look at it.

He looked at her deeply for a long time before finally saying, “Don’t do this again.”

Seeing that she’s pregnant, I’ll give her another chance, but this will be the last chance.

Thinking that he believed her excuse, she immediately smiled obediently. “Got it, Edgar. Carry on with your errands, but can we have breakfast together tomorrow?”

She was furious about this, but she knew very well she could not persuade him to stay the night anymore.

However, he merely shifted his gaze and left the room.

…

After taking a few hours of nap, Jean finally woke up, feeling hungry.

She remembered that the hotel had provided a meal voucher for the bar downstairs, so she made her way down. Surprisingly, the view at the hotel was quite nice, with melodious music playing in the background.

With the sea breeze blowing gently on her face, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.

A blond man approached her and asked politely, “Excuse me, do you know how I can get here?”

She scooted closer and saw the map on his phone. Coincidentally, she had spotted this building on her way here.

“From here, you can…”

From afar, Edgar only saw her back as she chatted happily with the man at the beach.

Perhaps what Gigi said wasn’t entirely false. I’ve seen her getting close with many men. It’s only been a few hours since we arrived, yet she is so quick to flirt with another man.

He frowned in distaste.

As Miles brought a platter over, he continued to report to Edgar about their work schedule the next day.

Surprisingly, Edgar was not paying attention to him.

“Would you like to call it a day? We still need to make some changes to tomorrow’s proposal with Perles.”

However, Edgar’s frown only lessened slightly when he saw that the man had left, and Jean was still standing at the same spot.

Leaning against the fence, she ate some food, but she had a feeling that she was being watched. Yet, when she turned around, she could not see anyone.
