Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 512

Jean laughed awkwardly before explaining, "My aunt just came back from abroad, so she doesn't really understand Yorktown well.Sometimes, the way she interacts is also..."

Hugo did not interrupt her.He merely watched her as he listened attentively.

"So, I hope you don't mind.Let me get the bill this time."

After Jean finished speaking, she looked at him expectantly.

Huge saw her expression, but he didn't comment on it.

Instead, he said, "This cafe has pretty decent afternoon tea.Unfortunately, it's not available now"

Jean thought her little speech moments ago had taken effect, seeing how he changed the topic.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"We have discussed this before, but you rejected me firmly"

Hugo brought the subject up solemnly as her words left a deep impression on him.

"I haven't moved on from the trauma of my previous marriage.Aren't you the same as well? It would hurt everyone involved if you have someone in your heart, yet you date another person."

Hugo leaned forward and continued thoughtfully, "! thought through your words, and I think you are right"

He clasped his hands together before saying slowly, "But a lifetime is very long.I think it's fine to take things one step at a time starting from now"

He finished his sentence nervously.

"If you reject me again before giving me a chance, it's unfair to both of us, isn't it?"

His reasons left a profound impact on her.She finally understood why Julia wanted her to meet Hugo.

Whether they would proceed to the next stage of the relationship was unknown, but it was enough that she could see how he healed from his wounds.

After all, we all have to move on.

Running away from the problem is never a solution.
