Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Compensation

After washing her face, Jean went downstairs to the dining room with a lighthearted look as if nothing had happened. When she saw Edgar sitting at the table with his back facing her, she felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles.

But she couldn’t stop, and she couldn’t give herself away. “Edgar!”

Jean put on a smile and strode up to Edgar. She took a whiff of the food’s delicious smell and smiled brightly. “Today’s dinner looks extraordinarily scrumptious. Are we celebrating a joyous occasion?”

Eggar’s eyes darkened. “Jean, I’ll be on a business trip for a few days. Susan will take care of you at home. You…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself and wait for your return.” She didn’t conceal her gentleness and thoughtfulness.

Any other newly-wedded wife would not bear to be apart from her husband. Edgar’s expression remained cold. How he wished he could constantly be at her elbow to take care of her.

“When are you leaving? I’ll help you pack your luggage.” Jean continued eating and pretended to ask the question in a casual manner.

“Miles will come and pick me up later.” Edgar took up his cutleries. Both their minds were occupied with different stuff. Jean hummed in response and lowered her head.

Perceiving her downcast look, Edgar patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.” Jean nodded but still didn’t lift her head.

An hour later, Edgar left in his car. Jean’s eyes became increasingly cold as she hid behind the curtain upstairs and watched the car disappear from her sight. She bit her lips indignantly. She hated Edgar to the core, but she couldn’t express it.

Going on a business trip? He must have gone to accompany Gigi in the hospital!

Jean took a deep breath and took out her phone to unblock all the numbers Edgar had restricted.

After hesitating for quite a while, she called Rachel.

Jean sat on the toilet bowl and turned on the tap so that the sound of the running tap would drown out her voice. She couldn’t let Edgar and Susan discover that she had regained her memories.
