Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 Thank You for the Invitation

Jean was indeed feeling tired. The car slowly drove forward, and she fell asleep in a daze. She had an unhappy dream. Her forehead was filled with cold sweat when she opened her eyes.

And in front of her was a wet towel from Hugo. It was still warm. “Are you alright?”

Jean swallowed and nodded. “Are we at your house?” When she raised her head, she saw an extravagant children’s playground outside the car window.

Slight awkwardness was revealed in Hugo’s eyes. “You were sleeping too deeply. I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond, so I decided to bring you here.”

He continued, “Dinner is prepared. Eat before you leave.”

After he said it, he didn’t give Jean a chance to respond. He held on to the big panda plush and walked into the villa.

He didn’t tell Jean that today was his daughter’s birthday party.

With one glance, Hugo knew what she was thinking about. He patted Ellie’s shoulder.

The little girl immediately smiled sweetly as she ran into Jean’s arms. “Jean, I asked Daddy to invite you. I celebrate my birthday with only Daddy every year. Can you stay this year?”

She blinked and looked innocent.

Her little hand grabbed on tightly to Jean’s clothes as if afraid that Jean would turn and leave.

Looking at the small face, no one could turn her down.

“That’s great!”

Ellie cheered happily after Jean nodded. She went to the kitchen and took out the cookies that she had made with her nanny to share with Jean.

“These cookies are her treasure. I only got one.” When Hugo talked about his daughter, his eyes were filled with gentleness and warmth.

Seeing Jean being plied with cookies, he picked up his daughter indulgently. “Go upstairs and put on your new outfit. We’ll wait for you here.”

Ellie blinked and nodded furiously. “Okay!”

He watched as Ellie went up the stairs before he turned to Jean. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. If you have something to do, you can…”

“It’s alright. If I knew beforehand, I wouldn’t have come empty-handed.” Jean felt a little embarrassed and suddenly glanced into the kitchen. “Why don’t I make a dessert for Ellie? Do you have milk?”

“You…” Before Hugo could say anything, Jean opened the fridge.

She took out eggs and milk from the compartment and repeated to herself, “Butter and strawberries!”

Hugo stood at the doorway, and his tall figure was in a daze.

Other than servants, no other woman had used the kitchen before.

At a certain moment, his heart stopped drifting indefinitely. He thought about starting afresh seriously instead.

He stood under a beam at the doorway of the kitchen. He seemed to say sorrowfully to himself, “There hasn’t been a sign of life in this house for a long time, but everything seems to have changed after you came today.”

At that moment, Jean turned on the kitchen exhaust hood.

She pushed the frying pan and glanced at the doorway before she raised her voice, “What did you say?”

Ellie’s shouts happened to come from upstairs. “Daddy, come quick.”

Hugo’s voice deepened. “It’s alright. I’m going upstairs to take a look.”

“Alright.”

Jean’s gaze returned to the stove in the kitchen. The hand that was holding the eggs stopped.

Her clumsiness revealed the truth. Why did she need a frying pan to make desserts?

In that split second, she didn’t know how to deal with it.

Ellie was ecstatic that night. After the cake was cut, she gave Jean a huge slice and kept clinging to Jean. She refused to let go and let her leave.

Hugo had to bring Ellie upstairs forcefully.

It had been a long time since Jean had been so joyful.

She took off the paper crown on her head. The scenes of her birthdays that she had spent at Eyer Residence appeared in her mind. At least back then, she still had her dad. She was a girl who had someone to rely on when she was in trouble.
