Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Back to the Beginning

“That idea is too dangerous!” Nathan clenched his fists tightly. “You’d better think twice.”

Edgar lowered his gaze. After all, he clearly understood Nathan’s concerns. In fact, he even thought about it in the long run.

For example, if Jean remained like that, how would he respond when she asked about Gary, and how would he deal with her career?

He would prepare the answers for those questions, but no one knew how long such days would last.

“Let’s put aside everything else. Melody’s company issued a statement about her disappearance. According to the rumors, she had gone abroad with a male fan.”

Edgar’s eyes flickered sharply. “Impossible. I believe she’s still here.”

He had already double confirmed with Brigid – the woman who brought the doctor was Melody herself.

“She put so much effort into taking revenge on my family. And now she’s got the opportunity to do so.” With that, he smiled coldly.

Since she has the guts to hurt my family, she has to bear the consequences.

Nathan knew that a storm was about to come from the look in his eyes.

“If there’s anything I could help, don’t hesitate to contact me. But, I hope you’ll think about the plan you have for Jean.”

That afternoon, the truth behind the cruise ship accident was being reported, and one of the interviewees was Melody, who claimed to be missing.

Through the phone, she accepted the interview from the reporters.

“I’m sure this accident was intentionally planned by a mastermind. Many people were injured, including Edgar’s ex-wife, Jean. She was also on the ship, and she’s in a dire state right now.”

As soon as the news was reported, Susan ran out from the kitchen immediately and turned off the television.

She looked upstairs anxiously, and Jean walked out of the room right at that moment.

“What’s wrong, Susan?”

“N-Nothing!” Since Jean didn’t seem to have heard the news, Susan heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as Edgar returned in the evening, she pulled him aside. “Mr. Royden, this isn’t a long-term solution. Your divorce was reported in the news again. The cat is going to be out of the bag in no time.”

Edgar nodded. “I already booked plane tickets to bring her away tomorrow.”

Susan thought this was a good idea, but during dinner, Jean hesitated upon hearing that.

“My dad’s been very busy lately. I’m thinking if I should help him out,” she said softly with her head hung low.

Edgar thought about it for a few seconds.

“I’ll ask someone else to help Dad out. It’ll help your recovery if you take some rest.”

Susan was so nervous that she didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, while Jean was quite overwhelmed upon hearing how Edgar addressed her father.

“If you are really against going, I’ll ask them to refund the tickets.” He looked at her.

“No, I’ll go with you!” she quickly said. “I’ll pack right now.”

I’m just not used to our married life yet. She tried to convince herself with that. After dinner, she quickly went upstairs.

Soon, she asked him, “Why can’t I find my clothes?”

“This is my villa, not our house. Your clothes are still there, and I’ve already sent someone to take it for you. You can just rest.” He clenched his fists behind his back. Worried that she might be suspicious, he added, “If you are still worried about it, I can bring you over tomorrow.”

She lifted her chin to look at him as she slowly shook her head with a wide smile on her face.

“I’ll follow your plans.” With that, she glanced at the time. “H-Have a good rest.”

Edgar frowned upon seeing her shy expression.

“I’ll stop bugging you now.” With that, she went into the room.

After they got married, they had only spent one night together in their newly-wed home, and he had even slept in the guest room.

However, as soon as she closed the door, she was overwhelmed by a brief darkness. With a shudder, she quickly walked into the bathroom, and Edgar went to the study to continue working.

A few minutes later, he heard a shrill scream and immediately ran to Jean.
