Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Target

The turbulence lasted for several more minutes. Having eaten the medicine, Edgar was feeling much better. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that the passengers were all in their own seats. His line of vision landed on Jean, but she had her eye mask on and seemed to be asleep.

“Mr. Royden, I’ve brought your meds!” Miles hurried over but stopped sharply upon seeing Edgar’s condition, “You’re fine?”

The medicine prescribed to Edgar was not uncommon and could be found in many drug stores, but it was an uncommon drug to be brought around. Edgar grunted in admittance and glanced at Jean once again, as if scanning her.

“Edgar!” Gigi Reece rushed over from business class and grabbed onto his arm, “Are you not feeling well? I’ll get you…”

Edgar’s expression was cold and calculative; he knew that Jean’s act would have an effect on Royden Group, but by accepting Perles’ invitation and attending fashion week with Gigi, he could hopefully use the publicity to cover up this episode. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be on this flight.

“Edgar, how about we go to the front? It’s really narrow and uncomfortable here.”

Edgar raised an eyebrow, “I’m pretty comfortable here, you can go to business class yourself.”

Edgar’s words humiliated Gigi, and she felt awkward among the passengers, but she couldn’t stay there as they were no spare seats. She gently bit onto her lip and quietly said, “Alright, I’ll go to the front then. The baby will be more comfortable there.” She was hoping that Edgar would change his mind after that, but all that awaited her were his closed lids. She frowned and left.

“What about me, Mr Royden?” Miles was slightly troubled about what to do.

“Go sit in the front, I’m a little tired and want to rest.” His voice did sound tired, and he did not want to deal with Gigi.

“Understood, sir.” Miles left him a blanket and went to the front.

Edgar remembered that when his parents died and he had to take up the business, everywhere he went he would be scorned. What was the difference between business and economy? Was there a difference between people? He suddenly remembered something Jean had told him.

‘Edgar, you should take care of your body, you can earn money later.’

His eyes suddenly opened, and they were cold and focused.

If only she wasn’t Gary Eyer’s daughter, things would be different!

Edgar’s eyebrows twitched out of frustration from that thought. He turned over to look at Jean’s seat to find it empty but then heard sounds of an argument from the washroom behind him.

Ally had spilled her cup of coffee on Jean when walking past her.

“I’m sorry, Jean. I didn’t mean it, it’s just too narrow here.”

Jean nodded and tried to clean up the mess on her clothes.

“Jean, how about you wear my clothes? I’ve got some in my suitcase here.” Ally offered, seemingly sincerely.

Jean and Ally had totally different fashion styles. If Jean were to wear Ally’s clothing, she would look childish. Jean gave her a cold sweep and turned off the water tap.

“Jean, why do you look at me like that? I really didn’t mean to!” Ally said with pursed lips.

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Just because I’m being nice to you because of Ben, do you really think I won’t fight you? It is rather narrow here, but you came toward me.”
