Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 27 The Past

Gigi did not expect Edgar to make such a cruel decision. “What… You want me to abort the pregnancy?”

Sam and Winnie also did not expect this and were shocked. “Ed… Edgar, the baby is a living being!” Gigi implored. She knew Edgar well enough to know how heartless he could be.

She let tears flow down her face as she pleaded, “I admit I was wrong for lying, but I did it because I love you. I love you and this baby! Please, I beg of you, Edgar… Please don’t be so cruel to me. A miscarriage damages a woman’s body!”

Miscarriage. It was not Edgar’s first time hearing this word. He knew a woman who experienced this a year ago. Despite how pale she was from severe blood loss and pain, she still refused to bow down to him.

The memory was so clear in his mind that it felt like it had happened yesterday. Suddenly, a wave of unfamiliar emotions rolled in his heart.

“Edgar, it’s all part of Jean’s devious plan. She is trying to cause strife between us and take revenge. You must believe that I love you!”

Gigi’s word pulled Edgar out of his daze. His cold gaze seemed to waver slightly. Finally, he said, “You can keep the child for now.”

Gigi was relieved, but it did not last for long. Edgar suddenly got up from the couch and stood before her intimidatingly while looking down at her. “It’s only temporary. During this time, you are to remain in Reece Residence.”

Then, Edgar left the lounge straightaway, ignoring the Reece family members’ shocked expressions.

Miles glanced at the kneeling Gigi with pity. Then, he clucked his tongue and did not forget to take the check before leaving.

…

On the other side, Jean still felt unhappy after leaving the wedding despite having caused a commotion there.

She let go of all her pretense as soon as she got into the car and appeared tired.

Meanwhile, Ben tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and tried to start a conversation. “I have a training for racing in a few days. Do you want to give it a try?”

“Not interested.” Jean looked pale. “I haven’t driven for a long time. I’m not sure if I still know how.”

Ben nodded upon hearing her. “True, you haven’t driven a car for a long time. That’s a pity. It seems I’m going to spend the prize money myself. It’s only a hundred thousand anyway.”

A hundred thousand?

“I’ll go!”

Jean immediately sat straight.
