Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 407 Thank You for the Invitation

Jean was indeed feeling tired. The car slowly drove forward, and she fell asleep in a daze. She had an unhappy dream. Her forehead was filled with cold sweat when she opened her eyes.

And in front of her was a wet towel from Hugo. It was still warm. “Are you alright?”

Jean swallowed and nodded. “Are we at your house?” When she raised her head, she saw an extravagant children’s playground outside the car window.

Slight awkwardness was revealed in Hugo’s eyes. “You were sleeping too deeply. I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond, so I decided to bring you here.”

He continued, “Dinner is prepared. Eat before you leave.”

After he said it, he didn’t give Jean a chance to respond. He held on to the big panda plush and walked into the villa.

He didn’t tell Jean that today was his daughter’s birthday party.

With one glance, Hugo knew what she was thinking about. He patted Ellie’s shoulder.

The little girl immediately smiled sweetly as she ran into Jean’s arms. “Jean, I asked Daddy to invite you. I celebrate my birthday with only Daddy every year. Can you stay this year?”

She blinked and looked innocent.

Her little hand grabbed on tightly to Jean’s clothes as if afraid that Jean would turn and leave.

Looking at the small face, no one could turn her down.

“That’s great!”

Ellie cheered happily after Jean nodded. She went to the kitchen and took out the cookies that she had made with her nanny to share with Jean.

“These cookies are her treasure. I only got one.” When Hugo talked about his daughter, his eyes were filled with gentleness and warmth.

Seeing Jean being plied with cookies, he picked up his daughter indulgently. “Go upstairs and put on your new outfit. We’ll wait for you here.”

Ellie blinked and nodded furiously. “Okay!”

He watched as Ellie went up the stairs before he turned to Jean. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. If you have something to do, you can…”
