Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Invitation

Suddenly, Ben felt disenchanted and lost his appetite. ” You can use your money to pay the debt, Jean. I have spare.” Ben lowered his eyelids and said with disinclination in his voice.

He had thought of every possible solution to the problem. But his mother insisted he got engaged to Ally first in exchange for the extension in funding the racing team.

His friends had also been notified on the same matter. He put down his chopsticks, “No matter how difficult the situation gets, I won’t…”

… Accept Jean’s money. The latter half of the phrase was unspoken as he met Jean’s sagacious eyes. He bit his tongue despite the urge to decline her offer.

He muttered, “I’ve said I don’t want it. Period.” Jean took out an IOU from her handbag and laid it before him, “Sign it. Pay it back to me with a compounding interest when you have the money. You have to at least get through the two tournaments this month. ”

She had a phone call with Sonny before she came and was informed of the team’s financial bottleneck.

The team would get disbanded if the funding didn’t get resolved in time.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Ally said aloud, “Ben, your mom is here.”

“My mom?” Ben was flustered, “How did she find out about this place?”

He sprung up, frantically clearing up the littered floors.

Jean swallowed another mouthful of noodles, picked up her bag, and exited through the balcony that was linked to next door.

When Ben finally came back to his senses, Jean was long gone. The IOU was left on the table.

Farra demanded Ben’s racing team to let her in.

As soon as she got into the room, she saw that Ben was eating noodles alone.

Ally puckered her brows in confusion, “Wasn’t Jean still here a moment ago?”

Ben swallowed the noodles and acted oblivious, “Mom? How did you know I was here?”

The guilt-stricken Ally, who was behind Farra quickly darted her eyes and kept her eyes down.

Nobody else would tip off Farra of his whereabouts other than Ally! It also happened exactly when Jean and him were talking in the room and away from the others.

Farra smiled, “I am here to bring you a good news. I am willing to continue funding your racing career.”

Ben and the racing team were surprised by Farra’s announcement.

Ben saw through his mom’s façade and guised kindness, “Mom, I can’t agree to what you mentioned to me.”

With a poker face, his eyes traveled past Farra and locked on Ally.

Ally lowered her head and remained silent.

Farra sneered in displeasure, “Mom knows who you like. I have thought about it and decided to stop forcing you because Ally relentlessly persuaded me to drop the ultimatum. Please do not distant yourself from her hereafter. Take her as a little sister, would you?”

She knew only by giving Ben the leeway and blessing could she for trade his pliability. Only then Ben would stop despising Ally.

Ben’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

“Of course, I have brought the money along.”

Outside the room, Sonny and the others exclaimed excitedly, “Hooray!”

“Thanks, Mom!”

Ally pursed her lips seeing Ben warmed up and elated to the free rein. She got a lift in Farra’s car when the latter wanted to leave.
