Chapter 369 A Secret Sorrow

The next day, Jean got up and went to the airport. After the security check, Rachel rushed to her hastily. “Ms. Eyer, the flight has been delayed.” “What?” Jean looked at the time. “Can we make it?”

Rachel nodded at once. “We can. I paid extra and switched to the first class of a smaller airline. There are two hours before we board.” “Alright. Let’s get something to eat.”

They had just reached the elevator when they saw Edgar and Miles walk over from the side. From the looks of it, they were headed in the same direction.

Jean lowered her voice and asked Rachel, “Don’t tell me that we’re taking the same flight?” Rachel coughed lightly. “There’s no other way, Ms. Eyer. Those are the only two flights today.”

Jean knew that she couldn’t hide, so she faced it calmly. She turned and said in a relaxed manner, “You’re here early.” Edgar just replied, “Mm.”

If he hadn’t known about her flight beforehand, he wouldn’t have arrived so early. Miles directed a grateful glance in Rachel’s direction, but Rachel turned away and pretended not to see anything.

If it weren’t for Rachel leaking Jean’s flight number to him, Edgar’s mood wouldn’t have changed from cloudy to clear. The entire Royden Group would be shrouded in a haze.

However…

The four of them arrived at the only restaurant upstairs.

They heard a child’s cries and looked in that direction. Hugo was eating with his daughter, and from the looks of it, Ellie wasn’t very happy.

No matter what Hugo fed her, she kept shaking her head.

The man’s patience was almost at its limit.

“If you’re not going to eat, the driver will take you home.”

“I… I don’t want!”

Ellie jumped down from the chair and ran out with her bag. She bumped into Jean as soon as she ran out.

She ran into Jean’s arms as soon as she saw Jean’s face.
