Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399 He Was Passing By

Maybe it was the fact that Jean had too much of a surprised expression. Edgar knew what she was thinking of with one glance. Did this woman forget about the other person in her house?

But then again, how could she have been so focused if she hadn’t forgotten about him? Edgar got up and quietly stood on her right. He looked at the colored drawing, and it was a stylish and tasteful sapphire necklace.

Even as a man who didn’t know about jewels, he thought it was quite good. “It’s good.” The two simple words he said gave Jean a different feeling.

She replied, “Thank you.” “Is this for the La Laux cover?” He asked candidly. Jean glanced at him. She thought about what he might say but didn’t avoid it.

“Mm.”

She walked into the washroom and washed her fingers that she had accidentally stained with paint. When she came out, she saw Edgar looking carefully at her design draft.

There seemed to be an awed expression in his deep and cold eyes.

Jean coughed lightly.

“You’ll be the first I suspect if my design draft is leaked before it’s released.”

Edgar looked up and chuckled. “There should only be one necklace like this in jewelry design, right?”

“Yes.”

Jean walked to the other side and started to clean the desk. She didn’t notice the deeper meaning of his question.

Her hands were moving non-stop as she looked down. She threw out her question. “Why did you come looking for me?”

“What do you think it’s about?” Edgar’s voice was very low. He had thought of many excuses before coming, and he didn’t know why but when he saw her, he gave up on his clumsy arguments.

Any excuse he could come up with would be unconvincing.

He never imagined that she would look at him seriously and mumble, “I don’t have money to lend you.”

“… What?”

“Royden Group’s problems with the capital chain isn’t something that I can solve. Moreover, I won’t lend you money.” Jean answered frankly.

Other than that, she couldn’t think of why Edgar had come to see her.

“The only property under my name other than the debt-ridden Eyer Group is this house. If you want to take back the house and the furniture to sell, I won’t stop you.”

She really seemed to be seriously thinking of ways to help him.

Edgar wasn’t happy at all. In fact, his head hurt even more.

After Jean was done, she saw that he wasn’t saying anything, so she thought that he didn’t believe her. “I don’t have any money.”

“Alright. Let’s not talk about it. You can stay in this house without worrying. I don’t want it,” Edgar said before getting up and walking to the door. “I was just passing by.”

Then, the door opened and closed as the man’s tall figure walked out of the courtyard.

He was passing by?

Jean’s gaze returned to the design draft. It was thanks to him that she had such a good spark of creativity and inspiration.

Thinking about Edgar’s unwell complexion, Jean’s feelings were slightly complicated.

They had separate lives. Even if Royden Group announced bankruptcy the next day, it had nothing to do with her.

With such feelings, Jean slept through the night. The next morning, she went straight to the magazine publisher and met with Edna.

She had forced herself not to look at her cell phone ever since waking up.
