After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 401

Without turning around, I already knew who had come in. I just stood there, frozen.

The hand I’d raised to fasten the clasp behind my neck slowly dropped down.

Edward stepped up behind me, reaching out with calm precision to fasten the clasp–not too fast, not too slow.

His fingers inevitably brushed against my skin, the heat from his touch making my hair stand on end.

“Thank you, Mr. Jennings,” I said, forcing myself to sound calm and collected.

When I turned around, Edward was giving me a once–over. Then he said, “It looks like the kind of color Ryan likes–simple and pure.”

I jumped a little. Edward really did know everything.

“He rushed through dinner with my father, then hurried straight to the airport to pick you up and bring you here. He’s been so busy,” Edward drawled, his tone turning sarcastic at the end.

I stood there, uneasy, my fingers unconsciously curling from nerves.

“So… should I just leave now?” I asked, not trying to read Edward’s reaction–just waiting for him to decide.

Edward scoffed lightly. “He went through all this trouble just to bring you here for his birthday. If the leading lady bails, how bad would that make the leading man look?”

I drew in a sharp breath, my voice weak. “Then what do you want me to do, Mr. Jennings?”

Edward turned to face me, his brow furrowed. “I’ll give you one month. In that time, you need to find someone to marry.”

“A month is way too short,” I protested.
