Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 402 Face to Face but Far Apart

Edgar smelled the faint smell of mud in the courtyard. He pressed on the bridge of his nose in exasperation. It had been a long time since he established Royden Group that he had been in such a tight spot.

He took out his cell phone and called Miles. “Send two sets of break… lunch here.”

Hearing the address that Edgar told him, Miles flew down the stairs. His boss had gone to apologize and ask to reconcile. He had to plan the logistics well.

Otherwise, it would be the end of his job as an assistant. “Don’t worry, Mr. Royden. I’ll be there right away.” Miles grabbed breakfast and a bouquet of roses quickly.

When he arrived hurriedly, Jean hadn’t opened the door for Edgar. “Why did you buy flowers?” Edgar’s voice deepened, blaming Miles for being meddlesome.

Miles said at once, “Even if Ms. Eyer has a cold personality, she’s a woman after all. All women love flowers.” Edgar looked at him half-disbelievingly.

“Leave the things. You may go.” Miles nodded immediately. “Good luck, Mr. Royden. If there’s anything, call me any time.” Two minutes after Miles had left, the door opened.

“Bring it in.” Jean’s face was cold, and her tone was unhappy. She had been forced to stay at home for a few days. She was about to go out for groceries yesterday, but she couldn’t because of the press conference.

There was now nothing to eat at home. Edgar’s face lit up. He held on to the things and walked in, but the big bouquet of roses in his hands was flashy.

“Throw that away.” Jean walked in without turning around. The man walked up the steps and did as she said. They ate quietly. Although Edgar sat across from her, Jean treated him like air.

The air was too still. Edgar wanted to say something a few times, but he couldn’t think of anything to say and admitted defeat.

She put down her cutlery, and the food in front of her was wiped clean.

Jean was quite pleased with the food.

She raised her eyes to look at him. “I don’t care what you have to say. I don’t want to hear it. I’ll pay you back for this meal.”

“Are you angry at me?”

Jean wrinkled her brows and looked at the serious gaze on his handsome face. She wanted to scold him.
