Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 176 There’s No Such Thing as Free Lunch

Jean stayed with Susan for some time and was about to leave after the latter fell asleep. As soon as she stood up, she heard a familiar voice emerging from the outside.

“Go and investigate which woman it is that made Edgar always come to this zone!” Gigi placed her hand on her abdomen and ordered arrogantly.

Truth was, she had headed straight toward this zone after she got out of the bed. Jean’s eyes darkened. She didn’t want to awaken Susan. Just as she was thinking of a way to get out, someone entered the ward. Edgar frowned when he saw Jean. The next second, he pulled her into the washroom. “What are you doing?”

“The others will misunderstand if they see you here.” Edgar’s voice was cold and emotionless. Jean tried to keep a distance from him and said sulkily, “You can go out.”

Edgar glanced at her and did not respond. Soon, the door was flung open. Gigi led a gang of people and barged into the ward, hoping to catch the ‘mistress’ red-handed. However, the only person she saw was Susan. She glanced around the ward and squealed, “It’s only her in this room?”

Susan was awakened. “Miss Recee?”

Gigi had met Susan in Edgar’s villa, so she knew the latter was merely a servant at Edgar’s residence. Gigi was annoyed that she drew a blank after spending a great deal of effort. Biting her lips, she scowled, “Use your common-sense next time! How could Edgar possibly have an affair with her?!”

Thereafter, she walked out of the room with her hand on her abdomen. Meanwhile, Edgar blocked Jean’s body with his arm in the washroom. The space was narrow, so they could only stand close to each other to avoid the light that shone through the door.

Smelling the scent of Edgar’s perfume, Jean furrowed her brows sulkily and was about to push Edgar away when he warned all of a sudden, “Stay still.”

Hearing Edgar’s voice, Jean lifted her head to retort, but when she met his deep-set eyes, she could perceive the mixed emotions in them that she couldn’t comprehend. At the same time, she could clearly feel Edgar’s breath hasten.

She wanted to dodge Edgar, but it was too late. The next second, Edgar leaned close to her and kissed her neck uncontrollably. “I’ve been trying hard to control myself. Why did you still appear in front of me?” He moaned in a hoarse voice.

What does he mean?

Jean shuddered subconsciously and fumed, “Get away from me!”
