Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 294

Chapter 294 Not Giving Up Any Chance

But his response obviously had a different meaning. Jean increased her pace and chased after them. “Uncle, one of them is my father. He has passed away.”

The old man stopped for a moment. But he immediately picked up his pace. “I’ve told you already. I’ve never seen him. Neither do I know him!”

Jean did not give up. “I came here alone. I don’t have any money with me. Can you please help me?” The old man stopped walking after a few steps. He turned around and looked at Jean.

He let out a slow sigh. “My neighbor has a hotel. You can go have a look at it if you don’t mind.” “Great, thanks!” Jean smiled and quickened her pace so she could keep up with the old man.

She held the old man’s arm and asked gently, “You’ve stayed here for a very long time, haven’t you?”

The old man was still wary of her. He did not answer her question.

He left right after he brought her to the hotel.

Jean eventually inquired about the name of the old man from the hotel owner and found out that his name was Paul Jevin.

“Did he injure his leg before?” Jean tried hard to obtain more information about the old man.

The hotel boss looked at Jean and asked, “Who are you? Why are you asking so much? I don’t attend to customers like you. You should leave if you don’t intend to stay here.”

“No, no. Mr. Jevin saved me just now. I wish to thank him.” Jean quickly passed over her identification documents.

The hotel owner nodded because Jean seemed kind and well-behaved.

“Paul was injured when he went to the cities in his younger days. He received some amount of money as compensation, so he came back to town for retirement.”

The hotel was small. There were only five rooms.

After Jean was brought to her room, she was relieved to find it quite clean.

But there wasn’t any kettle in the hotel room. So when she went downstairs to ask the boss, she met Edgar and Miles on the first floor.

“We have only one room left. I don’t think the both of you can squeeze in it, can you?

Miles glanced at Edgar silently.

Edgar’s eyes darkened. He spotted Jean coming down the stairs from the corner of his eye. He replied quietly, “We will take that room.”

Jean frowned. She turned around and left.

She did not expect Edgar to grab her by her wrist.

“What a coincidence, Miss Eyer.”

Jean was still displeased with their earlier bouts, so she did not want to see him. She shook her wrist twice.
