Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 An Inexplicable Man

Jean hadn’t come to her senses. Their food was served between them. It interrupted their conversation. Jean took in the fragrance of the food. She wanted to ease the awkward air. “A friend recommended me this dish. Try it.”

She wanted to be as casual as possible. But… why did the air get colder? She took a few bites and realized that Edgar hadn’t moved his utensils at all. It was clear that he was displeased.

Jean felt like her food was tasteless if she ate alone. She thought about it left and right. Her head was about to blow up. She still didn’t understand how she had offended him.

“Is the food not to your taste?” She mumbled. Edgar’s fingers tightened as he held on to the coffee cup. He was about to take out the bracelet in his pocket when someone walked over.

The figure stopped next to Jean. A gentle yet deep voice said, “What a coincidence, Ms. Eyer.” Hugo greeted Jean first before looking at Edgar and nodding slightly at him. “You’re here too, Mr. Royden.”

I’m here too? Edgar’s eyes were filled with frost. It was clear that he was expressing animosity. It was as if Hugo hadn’t noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’m meeting someone upstairs. I’ll be going to my seat.”

So he had deliberately come over just to greet Jean? The rage in Edgar’s heart started burning. Jean was completely unaware. She assumed that his business affairs were unsatisfactory or that Royden Group would be rivals with Rukh Group in the future.

After all, Edgar was a workaholic. He didn’t care about anything else other than work.

“Alright, Mr. Hugo.”

Hearing Jean call Hugo, Edgar lost his appetite.

They treat each other so specially.

Jean even got up to walk Hugo to the elevator. When she got back, Edgar had already picked up his cell phone. His hand was in his pocket, and he stared straight at her.

His gaze made people very uncomfortable.

Jean’s brows furrowed. “Mr. Royden, if you feel…”

“What did you call me?”

“Huh?” He interrupted Jean before she could finish. Hearing what he had asked her, she replied, “Mr. Royden?”

The man’s face turned cold.

“I have a meeting. I’m leaving now.”

He got up and left without turning back.

Jean felt as if an extremely cold wind had swept past her. She ground her teeth in anger. She shouldn’t have been so humble. Now, she was abandoned and deserted there without good cause. Great.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have ordered so much.”

When would the man change his temperamental personality?

The rest of the dishes hadn’t been served. Jean got them to go and walked out of the restaurant alone with a stack of takeout boxes.

Far away, at the side of the road, the man kept looking at her.

The weather was getting cold. Jean took a few steps and shivered. “I better get a cab.”

She booked a ride on a ridesharing app and stood waiting by the road.

Edgar sat in his car and spoke to Nathan on the phone. “Mm. She just came out alone.”

At the other end, Nathan was dumbfounded.

“Edgar, you’re jealous for no good reason. No matter how outstanding Hugo is, he’s divorced after all, and he has a child. Even if Jean doesn’t choose you, she won’t be rushing to be a stepmother!”

Edgar’s eyes darkened.

If she really wanted to raise a child, Hugo was the best choice.

He still remembered what the doctor had told him back then when Jean was in the hospital. Due to the injury caused by the miscarriage, she might not be able to give birth in her lifetime.

“Don’t pressure her too much. You know her personality as well. It’s easy for you to overdo things.”

Edgar watched as Jean got into her ride. He slowly put his cell phone down.

He reached his hand into his pocket and touched the box with the bracelet. There was a bitter smile between his thin lips. He didn’t know what had happened to him tonight.

He went home alone late at night.
