Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 105 Seduction

Once Jean reached home, she used a bandage she purchased from the pharmacy downstairs to bandage the wound on her elbow. It was hard to do it with one hand, but she had no choice but to do it herself.

In her attempts to bandage her wound, she kept accidentally triggering it, causing her to gasp in pain. It made her think there was some truth when people said a small wound hurt a lot because of how deep it was.

It took her a long time to finish bandaging her wound. Her forehead was covered with sweat in the end. As she was about to wash up, she heard someone knocking on the door. It sounded unhurried but firm.

Thus, Jean frowned and grabbed the broomstick beside her. “Who is it?”

The security was quite poor in her area, and there were frequent break-ins nearby. However, her unit was bare, so there was nothing worthy of stealing. “It’s me.”

Jean recognized Ben’s voice and opened the door. “Why are you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Ben pulled her into his arms. He wore a gray suit and smelled of alcohol. Furthermore, his usually handsome and cheerful face now seemed dull.

Jean had never seen Ben like this. “Let go of me first.” Jean patted his back to urge him to release her. Ben was pressing on her wound, causing her to grit her teeth.

They had hugged before, but those were polite greetings as friends. Their hug felt different this time, and it made Jean want to push him away immediately.

She had no romantic feelings for Ben.

“Jean, I’m drunk. If… If I did something, would you forgive me?” He pressed his head against her neck. His voice sounded exhausted.

Jean furrowed her brow. “Since you are drunk, you should go home.”

Then, she pushed hard, causing Ben to stagger and knock his back against the wall behind him.

His breathing quickened slightly, especially after he noticed Jean was only wearing a singlet. Furthermore, he had turned a little reckless from the alcohol in his system and could not help hugging her just now.

“Jean, I…”

Ben wanted to tell her everything that happened tonight.

The Ludwig family would likely release an announcement tomorrow. He hoped Jean would understand that he had not changed, and he only agreed to engage with Ally due to his family pressuring him.
