Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 287 Who is Unworthy?

She wanted to let Edgar have a taste of a woman’s unreserved subservience and tenderness. Then, she would dump him when he got tired of Gigi’s ill temper.

This was her game. She got to dictate how she played it, and Edgar would never know how he got manipulated by her. To give an instance, the soup that she prepared for him was part of her device.

She knew Edgar would feel even more guilty if she showed him more kindness and compliance. “Why did Mr. Rocher look for you?” Edgar was taken aback, ” What did he say to you?”

“Nothing in particular. Just a casual chat.” Jean smiled lightly. She said while clearing the soup container, “It’s just that I had no idea they were back in the country. Let’s go and visit them together when you’re free.”

“… Sure.” Edgar said in his deep voice. He fixed his eyes on Jean, walked behind her carefully and then abruptly grabbed her arm.

He saw her scalded blisters when he turned her arm over. Jean instinctively retrieved her arm. “I… I was clumsy and careless.” She muttered with her head down.

Edgar knotted his brows in displeasure. He didn’t blame her but felt sorry for her. He couldn’t bear to see her delicate skin scalded and scarred.

“Don’t cook again. Leave the work to the servants.” He pulled Jean into his arms. She uttered with her eyes down, “But I want to cook for you. It’s okay, I can learn.”

How good would it be if they weren’t stuck in an irreconcilable adversary like this?

She would probably be Edgar’s wife and have many children with him. And she would do anything for him no matter what the cost. But he didn’t give her any chances to redeem herself.

“I’m not worthy of your sacrifice.” His words evoked pain in her.

She had also thought about the possibility for her forgiving him if he ever confided his faults to her.

But there was no afterthought.

She knew this man way too well. Edgar was too stubborn to admit his fault.

“What are you talking about, Edgar?” Jean looked into his eyes with a tender smile.

Had he decided to come clean with her?

She was a bit nervous. She was unsure if Edgar deserved a second chance from her.

Edgar didn’t say anything but stared back into her eyes. After a while, he lowered his eyes and held her hand, “You should go home first.”

Jean grew even more disheartened of Edgar. She was even resentful of him.

She retracted her gaze and gave him an agreeable hum.
