Edgar placed down the knife and fork and raised his eyes apathetically, “Boyfriend?”

Gigi was not intimidated by his sudden change of attitude, as she replied softly, “Yeah, I’ve looked into it, his name is Ben Ludwig, and he is from a rich family. I mean it shouldn’t really bother me, but I can’t bear with it anymore. After what the Eyers did to you, Jean doesn’t deserve to live a happy life.”
