Chapter 484

She smiled as she took a sip of coffee.

"Jean, we need to talk about this.We should've talked about it ages ago.Let's not run away from this conversation"

Jean peered into her cup of coffee as she stirred it with a teaspoon.

"Do we have to? We are treading on thin ice, but since we're still safe, let's keep this civil for now"

Edgar contemplated her calm demeanour and felt his courage melt away.He assumed that their relationship was improving.

Hence, her resistance was a surprise to him.

"This is for you — it's an ice cream cake!"

Ellie suddenly appeared with a dessert in hand, but Edgar was not going to allow her to intrude upon them.

"She does not eat things like that"

Ellie spun towards Edgar and shuddered when she saw his piercing glare.She stumbled backward as tears fell like a waterfall and dashed back towards her father.

"She wanted me to try some ice cream! Why are you trying to scare a child?" Jean growled as she got up.

"You're in no condition to eat things like that.Is it wrong for me to care for you?"

Edgar got up quickly when he realized that she was going to leave.

Jean turned to leave and realized that their disagreement was affecting the other customers as well.

Some of them could recognize Edgar and were whispering to each other.She hated the bated breaths and whispers behind her back whenever they were together.

"I don't appreciate your concern and help.It's a source of stress.It causes me to wander between concern for you and immense dislike for you.Sometimes, I wonder if I'm just digging my own grave by hanging out with you.I was blessed to have you as a former husband.

However, my relationship with you is like a swamp — it sucks me in and drags me down into its depths.
