Chapter 846 The Terms She’d Never Accept

Finished

Edgar’s voice was flat. “I know exactly what you’re doing. You came here looking like that to intimidate Nina. She’s sick. Seeing youdressed up like this isn’t going to help her feel any better.

“Nina and I aren’t close,” Halle said evenly. “How she feels has nothing to do with me. Would you care it some stranger thought the way you dressed was offensive to them?”

Edgar had nothing to say to that.

“If you’re this worried about Nina’s feelings, the problem isn’t me. I’m wearing a dress. Heels. Lipstick Every woman on the planet dresses like this. It’s completely normal. If Nina can’t handle that, maybe you should find her a fortune teller, because her constitution must be dangerously fragile. If I’d dressed even hotter, she might’ve dropped dead on the spot.”

Edgar’s expression darkened, but he couldn’t fire back. This was how it always went when they argued. He never won. And he couldn’t, because his logic was built on favoritism that didn’t hold up under the slightest scrutiny.

There was nothing wrong with how Halle looked. Not a single thing.

She pressed forward. “Cat got your tongue? You’re the one who called me out here to see Nina. I showed up, and now you’re unhappy. She’s unhappy. So was this whole trip just a waste of my time?”

Edgar went quiet for a long stretch. Then, without warning, he reached for her hand.

Halle pulled away on instinct.

Shock flickered through his eyes. He’d assumed Halle would never flinch from him.

“Say what you need to say,” Halle told him. “Keep your hands to yourself.”

Edgar’s brow furrowed hard. He stared at her for several seconds before his voice dropped low. “We need to talk about us.”

Halle said nothing for a moment. So Nina really had stirred something up.

Edgar had been back in the country for a while now. The only time they saw each other was at family gatherings, where they performed the happy couple routine. He’d never once pulled her aside for a real conversation. No explanation, no acknowledgment of anything, just playing dumb, steamrolling over her feelings, and never lifting a finger to fix things on his own.

“Sure.”

Halle genuinely wanted to hear what kind of explanation Edgar could possibly offer after everything he’d done to wreck what they had. And what his plan was going forward.

She hoped he’d step up. Maybe take the initiative to reassure her, sit down with their parents and come clean about everything.

They walked to a quiet corner of the hallway.

Chapter 846 The Terma She’d Never Accept

Edgar’s expression was cold, irritation simmering just beneath the surface, like he was the one stugga THE to tolerate her. “Are we still getting married?”

“That’s up to you,” Halle said.

Edgar searched her face. No anger. No emotion at all. He couldn i read her. “You don’t have an opini say we’re getting married, you’ll just go along with it?”

“What opinion am I supposed to have? You’ve been going behind my back for years. I haven’t said a single word about it. I stayed right where I was and waited for you. You’ve got a fiancée this good, and you should count yourself lucky.”

Halle had dated other people over the years too, and Edgar knew it. He didn’t take the bait. Fine. Since we’re both adults about this, let’s go ahead with the wedding as planned. We each keep our private lives the way they are.”

“Can you live with that?” he asked.

Halle nodded. “Sure. But we need to keep it fair.”

“Fair how?”

“If I have a baby with another man and put your name on the birth certificate, would you be okay w that?”

The answer came out of him before he could think, laced with barely contained anger. “Absolutely no After we’re married, we’d need to have a child together. We owe that much to both our families.”

“So you can’t accept me having a child with someone/else,” Halle said. “Then how do you explain Nina s daughter?”

Edgar frowned. “That was an accident. It already happened. I promise there won’t be any more children between us.”

“So let me make sure I understand. You got a head start having a kid with someone else. I just wasn’t fatt enough, so I’m stuck eating the loss on a secret child that shouldn’t exist. After we’re married, you keep raising that baby with Nina, but I’m only allowed to sleep with you and have your children. Anyone else. and that’s a dealbreaker?”

Edgar said nothing. His silence was an answer.

Halle just smiled. “Only an idiot would agree to something that obviously stacked against her Fair isn’t even in the conversation. Unless you can accept me having a child with someone else too, then sure, let’s get married. All I’m asking is that the terms are equal.”
