Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 274 Chapter 274 Challenging Each Other If it weren't for this, he would not have returned to her so quickly. If it weren't for this, he would not have returned to her so quickly.

Even though it was bad news, she felt safe when he announced it. She instantly forgot about getting away from him and asked, "Is it serious?" "The crew is currently investigating. Perhaps it's not an issue, or perhaps we need to be evacuated," he said as he stood up with her. There were wounds on their hands.

He frowned as he brought her out. But because of the electricity outage, the electricity supply in the ship was unstable, causing the door to be automatically locked.

Pandemonium ensued outside, but they were stuck together in a room.

She yanked at the door with all her force, but it still remained shut.

"What should we do now?" She frowned.

I wouldn't be stuck here if it weren't for him! "The locks are digital. Someone will eventually open it when the electricity resumes." With that, he unbuttoned his collar calmly.

His reaction made her even more furious.

"Don't look atlike that. Even if something were to happen, you would be happy about it, wouldn't you?" She laughed coldly as she stared at him fixedly while the ship kept rocking sideways. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Yes, I'd like you dead, but I don't want to die together with you." He froze upon opening the drawer. Even though there was an emergency key card, he pretended that he didn't see anything and closed the drawer.

"Yeah? We might drown together today." She clenched her fists tightly.

It was still chaotic outside; Jean tried a few more times to knock on the door loudly and yelled, but no one noticed them.

After all, in order to give the VIPs the best experience, the walls were quite soundproof.

"What about Miles? You're stuck here, but he's not looking for you at all!" She frowned. Something feels wrong here. Adding up everyone's worth on this ship, it's almost as much as an entire city. How could such a mistake happen? If the ship really sinks, it's going to be a disaster.

"Perhaps he's also stuck somewhere." With that, he opened a bottle of top-quality wine from the shelves and prepared to taste it.

"Sometimes, there's no use panicking." His words immediately brought her back to the day her father suffered from a heart attack.

Her trembling fingers suddenly becstill before she clenched them tightly. "To you, nothing is important! Back then, you deceived me; now, you don't care about Gigi and your child. You really are a cold-blooded monster, Edgar!" With his back toward her, he smiled as he poured two glasses of wine.

When he turned around, his calm composure formed a stark juxtaposition against the rocking ship.

She could not understand the conflicted expression on his perfectly carved face.

"If God wants to die together, shouldn't consider grudges resolved?" At that moment, something within Jean changed.

The ship rocked strongly once more, and the yells outside seemed to beclouder, but Jean only felt cold sweat breaking out on her palms.

"Here's for you." He passed the wine glass over with a surprisingly gentle expression on his face. "If it's destined to be, no matter how afraid we are, we can't do anything about it." Well, his words seem to make ssense. She bit her lips tightly.

"Ah!" The ship swayed violently again, making Jean lose her balance and fall backward.

Edgar was unable to catch her in time, so she knocked her head on something. "Ouch, my head..." "Don't touch it." He pulled her close, losing his composure at once. "I'll figure a way out. Stay with me, Jean! Look at me!" The taste of the red wine still lingered on her tongue. Looking at his frantic reaction, she suddenly smiled.

I've never seen him care about someone so much, yet he's worried about me? Under the influence of alcohol, she asked unexpectedly, "Are you worried that I might die?" He frowned deeply. "Shut up." When she looked outside, the electricity had cback to life, but her vision was becoming blurrier.

"Don't worry, Edgar. I won't die, because I want to see you dead first." With that, she slowly lost consciousness.

"Jean!" he roared while holding her tightly.

When she woke up at an emergency center at the pier, she had no idea how much thad passed. There were blankets and water puddles scattered around her.

"Are you up now, madam? Can you hear me?" "Yes," she replied in a voice so soft it was barely audible.

"We gave you first aid, but you should go to the hospital to do a full check-upk-up just in case. Everyone else has already left. You should ask your family members to pick you up as well." "I-" She sighed and sat up on the bed. Touching the wound on her head, she walked out alone.

The only person I can rely on is myself.

"Madam, let us call a taxi for you. We're quite far from the city." One of the staff ran to her.

But she waved back. "It's fine. Thank you." She dragged her feet as she walked. The sea breeze was so cold that she felt icicles in her joints. Nevertheless, she was glad that she did not die with Edgar on the ship.

Otherwise, how would I face Dad?

At a far distance from her, Edgar slowly opened his eyes in thegam "Take the longer route." Contents belong to "Yes, sir." His right hand was bandaged. He had hit the side of the lifeboat when bringing Jean on.

In order to protect her, he had blocked the blow with his body.

Sitting in the front passenger's seat, Miles apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Royden. It's my negligence." Nevertheless, Edgar smiled.

"No. I asked for it myself."

Miles thought of something and immediately said, "Someone seemed to have sabotaged the ship. Two" sailors went missing. There might be... shidden secrets behind this accident."
