Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 191 Compensation

The man frowned. “Stubborn as a mule.” What will be of her if he hadn’t turned up? The mouths of these rich women from the upper class will kill her in no time. Jean smiled. “It’s not your first day knowing me.”

She turned around and left as soon as she finished speaking, but she realized that the zipper on her clothes was stuck to Edgar’s coat. Before they realized it, one of them staggered and fell toward the other, causing their bodies to press against each other tightly.

What a coincidence. Jean frowned and forcefully pulled her zipper away from Edgar’s coat. Edgar reminded her coldly. “My suit is handmade from expensive materials.”

Jean lowered her head and started pulling even harder. “We have no other choice. I’m not to be fully blamed either. We have to get it done eventually. Otherwise… we don’t know what gossip will spread.”

Edgar’s eyes became colder when he saw her anxiousness and eagerness to get away from him. Why is she trying so hard to get away from him?

“You have to move too!” Jean continued to pull on her clothes, but it was still stuck tightly. It was difficult for her to undo it from her angle. She was even starting to consider cutting her clothes.

She had gotten it from the sales rack anyway. But if Edgar’s clothes were ruined, she would not be able to pay for it. The man’s stare fell on her head. He asked coldly. “How am I supposed to move? Like this?”

After he finished speaking, he leaned forward suddenly. The distance between Edgar and Jean grew smaller. They were so close that their shadows overlapped…

“No!” Jean pushed him to the side. However, that did not free them from each other. Instead, it made it easier for her to smell Edgar. His scent was as intrusive as him. “How then?”

His deliberate display of pretense made Jean extremely annoyed. She simply ordered, “Stand there and don’t move!” A mischievous glint flashed across the man’s eyes. Before he could speak, Jean took a key out of her pocket and yanked it hard along her clothes.

He frowned. It was too late to stop her. Jean managed to free her clothes from Edgar’s with her strength. Her zip still hung onto Edgar’s coat. But she was already far from Edgar.

“Okay, done.” Jean lowered her head and looked at the torn edges of her garment. She felt a little sad. She quite liked this garment. She had never expected that she would have to give it up for this reason.

But at this moment, the eyes of the man in front of her darkened. She had not wanted to be this involved with him. Edgar frowned and he remained quiet. An indescribable anger covered him when he saw Jean’s relieved look.

It made him more frustrated when he realized that he could not explain the reason he felt such anger.

“Mr. Royden, you’ll only have to take off your coat for a while and find someone to take the zip off your coat.” Jean said. Then she glanced at the direction behind Edgar. When she saw Nathan coming over, she said, “Then I shall not take up your time anymore.”

“Hold on.”
