Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496

When Jean entered the visiting room, Gigi was already sitting there.She seemed to have lost weight, although Jean had not seen her for only a few days.

Nonetheless, her eyes looked clear and spirited.She wore a smile at once when she saw Jean and even waved at her.

However, when Gigi saw Edgar, who followed behind Jean, she was startled for a moment and lowered her head in silence.

Jean took up the phone and knocked on the glass panel, but there was still no response from Gigi.

With his eyes darkened, Edgar stood up and said, "I shall head out first."

After he walked out, Gigi lifted her head slowly, but the anticipation and excitement when she first saw Jean faded.

In contrast, the dejection in her eyes was unconcealable.

"I brought some stuff for you.The officers will pass them to you after checking."

Jean uttered while gazing at Gigi earnestly.

Gigi cast her eyes down for a moment and sneered.

"I know why you came to visit me.The case will be brought to court soon; you and the lawyers are worried I'll retract my testimony.Am I right?"

After saying that, Gigi put down the phone and left without giving Jean a chance to speak.Her yelling penetrated the glass panel.

"I thought you trusted me, but you're no different from them!"

"No…”

Gigi closed the door with a loud bang and refused to see anyone thereafter, even the lawyers.

Jean took a deep breath and trod out from the visiting room.

Edgar was waiting in the corridor, and he could guess what had happened when he saw Jean's sullen look.

"She just needs more time to think things through."

Edgar croaked.

Jean shook her head.

"We're running out of time.The case will come before the court in two days.If Sam is not declared guilty in the trial, it will be more difficult to obtain a verdict in the future"

No lawyers would be willing to take on a sloppy case from years ago.

In fact, the media wouldn't be so interested in the case if it wasn't because Gigi was once a celebrity.

Jean was frustrated.She even regretted visiting today because things might not have worsened had she not come.

Edgar patted her shoulder.

"It's not your fault.You've already done enough.Let nature take its course."

His tone was nonchalant, as if the case was unrelated to him.

Jean gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "If Sam is not declared guilty this time, my father will become his scapegoat forever.

I have to clarify the whole incident so that things can end between us."She didn't want to owe Edgar anything and remain in a complicated relationship.She wanted to be quits with Edgar.

However, Edgar muttered with his eyes looking cold, "You're striving to get this matter done so that you can cut ties with me"

Jean didn't answer while Edgar was hot under the collar.

Nonetheless, he kept his shirt on, remembering that Jean was pregnant.

"Let's go home."

"I'm not being unreasonable or picking up a fight with you.I just think that we can't continue on like this."

Jean hummed softly.

At that moment, her rationality prevailed.

Her mind was clearer than ever, and she wasn't discussing their relationship with the slightest tinge of frustration.

Edgar's body stiffened as he turned around slowly to gaze fixedly at her.

"After this incident is over, shall we try dating each other again?"

Jean looked at Edgar calmly and observed his expression.

"If you're not keen, then..."

"I do."
