Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 312 I Won’t Treat Marriage Like a Joke

Two days later, Jean was released on bail because of insufficient evidence. Ben was the one who came to pick her up. “Let’s eat first?” Ben’s hand was on the steering wheel as he peeked his head out to look at Jean.

Jean felt the breeze and smiled lightly. It was as if the clock had turned back one year. At that time, she had also just been released from prison, and it was Ben who had come to pick her up.

“Gigi is busy with interviews and appears on television every day. My mom is annoyed just by seeing her face,” Ben said as soon as he was done ordering food, “you’re helping her so much, but she isn’t appreciative at all.”

Jean looked down as she took a sip of her drink, not saying anything. “The Reece family have been looking for famed lawyers these few days to sue you so that you’ll stay in prison for a long time.” Ben’s voice grew colder. “Don’t you plan on telling her the truth?”

He was extremely distressed that she had to bear such a heavy burden on her own.

Jean fell silent.

“I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days whether to tell her.” She raised her hand and tied her hair up. Her appearance became a lot more relaxed, as if her thoughts had also become clearer.

“What have you concluded?” Ben was more nervous about it than her.

“I can’t tell her.”

Jean smiled brightly. “It’s because there’s still something that I have yet to investigate fully. Once I have, I will tell her all about it.”

Ben was so infuriated by her that he didn’t know what to say.

“When you stuck to your ways obstinately back then and were in prison for a year, I really regretted not stopping you. But you’re doing the same thing now.” Ben didn’t know what to do.

Why doesn’t she think about her own life at all?

It wasn’t as if Jean didn’t know what he was thinking about.

It was just that things had already come to such a stage. If she didn’t play the part fully, Edgar, who was such a meticulous person, wouldn’t believe it.

Also…

The food arrived, and the two of them started eating.
