Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 480

Jean could feel his back stiffen for an instant.She gently leaned her forehead against his back, quietly comforting Edgar this way.

Then, she gradually closed her eyes and said softly, "You can talk to me about it."

Since Edgar had no one to confide in, Jean was willing to listen to him voicing all the sadness he buried in his heart.

Edgar's gaze softened.He looked down and held her cold fingers.

"It's all right.Let me prepare the food first.I'm famished.The food in the detention center was not to my taste" He spoke with a gentle tone.

Then, he turned around and caressed Jean's hair.

"Wait for me outside."

Jean looked into his eyes earnestly for a while.She wanted to confirm if he was indeed all right.

Ten minutes later, the delectable smell of food wafted out from the kitchen.

Jean began to feel hungry upon smelling it.

Even though she had eaten many fruits and drank milk, her stomach still desired more food.She watched Edgar setting up the table and began to salivate.

Edgar noticed her watching and could not resist smiling.

"Come here." Jean walked quickly to the table.

"Let's eat.I will arrange for Susan to come here and take care of you soon.I will likely be busy, so...You should take care of your health."

After saying this, he looked down and began to eat.He ate in a hurry.His usual elegant demeanor was nowhere to be found.

It seemed he was famished.

Jean held her fork and pursed her lips.He must have known, but why didn't he ask me anything? She was not worried about him refusing to take responsibility.

Instead, she could not figure out what he thought.She kept feeling their lives would get even more entangled with each other.

"Are you done eating?"

Edgar noticed she did not touch the food for some time and reached for her plate.

Their fingers accidentally touched.

Jean shrank back in panic.

"I'll eat a little more."

She took the plate and rushed into the kitchen.She lingered there for a long time before coming out with more food on her plate.
