Chapter 267

Chapter 267 The True Colors of a Hypocrite

When they decided on where to meet, Jean hailed a cab on her own and went there. At the entrance, she saw Ben waiting for her on the steps.

Jean immediately used a scarf to cover her face and walked over quickly. “Go in, quick.” Seeing how cautious and careful she was being, Ben’s smile deepened. “This isn’t your usual style.”

But he still turned his body sideways courteously. He went in with Jean and ordered a lot of food that Jean liked. But Jean didn’t have much of an appetite today.

“All those low-end news will be forgotten by everyone soon. You don’t have to take it to heart.” Ben took some food for her. “And don’t tell me you don’t want to partner with Ludwig Group. I won’t agree.”

Jean was speechless. She pursed the corner of her lips. “You knew why I was looking for you?”

“Of course. I’m not an idiot.” Ben suddenly thought of something. His expression showed his disappointment. “When will you stop treating me so formally?”

From a certain perspective, he was envious of Edgar. At least Edgar could still think of ways to help Jean. As for him, he was only a puppet for others to carry out their wishes, even if he did it willingly.

“I’m afraid to be a burden to you. After all, you just started managing your company. Won’t your dad get angry if you help me like this?”

It wasn’t that her considerations didn’t make sense.

After all, the Ludwig family had just gone through a business crisis. Moreover, Myer was an extremely cautious businessman. Business and social relations were two different matters to him.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve made thorough preparations regarding this contract. Don’t worry.” Ben forced out a trace of a smile. “Eat up. I’ll send you back to the office in a while.”

He really wanted to ask Jean about who incited Jensen to say those things during his interview with the reporter!

It was better not to ask to avoid raising suspicion. He was about to speak up but held back in the end.

…

In the hospital, Gigi was scrolling on her cell phone. When she saw the news and pictures of Jean and Jensen’s high-profile love affair, she was overjoyed.

“Jean is such a nasty character. Not only did she dangle Ben along, but she also fooled around with Mr. Rocher. She will really stick to anyone who’s rich and flirt with them.”

Winnie was sitting at the side and couldn’t help but remind Gigi, “Not so loud. Edgar may be coming back.” “What do I have to be afraid of?”

Gigi was beaming. It was the first time in days that she was in such a good mood. She waved her cell phone. “News is spreading all over the Internet. I wasn’t the one who schemed against her. She’s the one who’s being unrestrained.”

The more she thought about it, the happier she got, but there was no one she could share it with.

In that instant, she started to miss the days when she had relations with Andy. Now, she could only delete his contact details as she stayed in the hospital room and waited for delivery.

Winnie knew the thoughts of women all too well.

She thought of the time when Andy beat her up and snorted coldly. “I advise you not to think about it anymore. Know your place and wait to be Mrs. Royden.”

“What do you know? I…”

Gigi’s voice was getting louder. Before she could finish, the door was opened.

Edgar was wearing a black coat and walked in sharply.

Gigi swallowed everything she was about to say. “Why didn’t you tell me before coming over, Edgar?”

The man’s footsteps stopped.

Even Winnie thought she was dumb. She said at once, “Edgar is always thinking of you and the child. He must have come over immediately after getting off work. You’re so lucky, Gigi.”

Gigi plastered a smile on her face at once. She acted coy and wanted Edgar to sit next to her.

The man thought about it and walked over. “How are you feeling today?”

“Very good. The child and I are feeling good.”

Gigi reached out her hand to pull Edgar’s hands, wanting him to feel the child.

His cold eyes were misted by a layer of gentleness. He felt Gigi’s stomach for a moment before immediately pulling his hand back.

“I’ve discussed it with the doctor. If you don’t want to stay in the hospital, you can stay at home for the time being. It’s alright as long as there’s someone to take care of you at all times.” Thinking about how Gigi would get bored, he even arranged two nurses’ aides for her.

“Really? Then I want to stay in your house.” Gigi blinked her lovely eyes at him.

At this time, no one would refuse her requests.

Edgar was finally no longer an exception.

“Alright. Pack up. I’ll get someone to pick you up later,” Edgar said before walking out of the hospital room.
