Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 116 Passable

Gigi panicked as she sensed Edgar’s cold gaze. She approached him, attempting to latch to his shirt and act coy. However, Edgar stepped away before she could reach him.

Then, Miles knocked on the door. “Mr. Royden, Mr. Shaw would like to discuss some matters with you.”

“Sure.” Edgar stood up and looked at Gigi indifferently. “We should stop seeing each other for a while. Let’s take the time to calm down.”

After saying that, he left Gigi without a backward glance. Gigi sat slumped on his office couch with eyes full of hatred. “Jean! This is all your fault!”

…

Meanwhile, Jean had a boring and uneventful day trapped in the villa. A few housekeepers came to the villa before noon. However, Edgar had likely given them instructions. Thus, they worked quietly and pretended not to notice Jean’s presence.

It felt like she was invisible. “When did Edgar buy this house?”

“What’s for lunch?”

“Why won’t you talk to me?”

The housekeepers remained silent no matter what Jean said. Thus, Jean gave up and went to the bedroom to sleep. By the time she woke up, it was evening.

She felt thirsty and headed to the kitchen. Suddenly, she heard someone talking on the phone. “Halt that case for now. Andy, this is not how you do business.” Edgar held a cup of coffee and suddenly glanced in Jean’s direction.

Since there were no women’s clothes in the villa, the housekeeper had helped Jean put on Edgar’s clothes last night. It was a T-shirt with a round collar. The T-shirt was a little too big for her and became like a short dress on her body.

Edgar could not help but notice her slender legs below the T-shirt.

He gripped his phone tightly and looked away as he walked past her.

Jean leaned away from him as she did not want to touch him in any way. However, she did not notice the knives on the table and nearly bumped into them.

“Careful.”

Edgar extended his arm and grabbed her by her waist.

Meanwhile, Andy narrowed his eyes on the other end. He was quite sure that he heard a woman’s voice and smiled at Gigi beside him.

“Edgar, who are you with…”

“There’s no one. That’s all for now. We will continue the discussion tomorrow.”

He hung up right after saying that.

Jean could still feel his arm around her waist and pushed at him with a frown. “Thank you. You can let go now.”
