Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 283 Chapter 283 Compensation After washing her face, Jean went downstairs to the dining room with a lighthearted look as if nothing had happened. When she saw Edgar sitting at the table with his back facing her, she felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles.

But she couldn't stop, and she couldn't give herself away. “Edgar!" Jean put on a smile and strode up to Edgar. She took a whiff of the food's delicious smell and smiled brightly. "Today's dinner looks extraordinarily scrumptious. Are we celebrating a joyous occasion?" Eggar's eyes darkened. “Jean, I'll be on a business trip for a few days. Susan will take care of you at home. You..." "Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself and wait for your return." She didn't conceal her gentleness and thoughtfulness.

Any other newly-wedded wife would not bear to be apart from her husband. Edgar's expression remained cold. How he wished he could constantly be at her elbow to take care of her.

"When are you leaving? I'll help you pack your luggage." Jean continued eating and pretended to ask the question in a casual manner.

"Miles will cand pickup later." Edgar took up his cutleries. Both their minds were occupied with different stuff. Jean hummed in response and lowered her head.

Perceiving her downcast look, Edgar patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll be back soon." Jean nodded but still didn't lift her head.

An hour later, Edgar left in his car. Jean's eyes becincreasingly cold as she hid behind the curtain upstairs and watched the car disappear from her sight. She bit her lips indignantly. She hated Edgar to the core, but she couldn't express it.

Going on a business trip? He must have gone to accompany Gigi in the hospital! Jean took a deep breath and took out her phone to unblock all the numbers Edgar had restricted.

After hesitating for quite a while, she called Rachel.

Jean sat on the toilet bowl and turned on the tap so that the sound of the running tap would drown out her voice. She couldn't let Edgar and Susan discover that she had regained her memories.

Bold of him to treatlike this! I swear to let him experience a living hell! Soon, Rachel picked up the call.

"Ms. Eyer, you finally appeared! Where were you the past few days? We were worried sick. The company beca mess during your absence. Mr. Rocher, too, has disappeared for a few days. I can't reach him via his number." Rachel was so panicked that she almost teared up.

"Rachel." Jean spoke up and ordered calmly, “Listen carefully to what I say. You must not let anyone know I contacted you. Even if I call you using this number after this, you can't admit it. Do you understand?" "Yes, Ms. Eyer..." "You're the only one I can trust now. Don't letdown." After arranging a few tasks for Rachel, Jean hung up the call. Then, she filled the bathtub with water and soaked her body in it. She wanted to wash away all the traces Edgar had left on her body.

How dare he toucheven when I've lost my memory? She was disgusted.

The bathroom door was closed, and the sound of the running tap was loud. Susan had been knocking on Jean's door for a while but received no response.

"Madam, is everything okay? Madam!" Susan was flustered. Just as she was hesitating if she should inform Edgar, the door opened.

Jean was dressed in a bathrobe and had a mask on her face.

"What is it? I was taking a bath." Susan could hear a faint sound of music from inside the room. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief and answered, "Nothing. I cut sfruits. Letbring them to you." Jean nodded with a smile. "Thanks." However, the smile was dismissed immediately after she closed the door.

... Contents belong to In the hospital.

"Edgar, it has been a few days since you cto visit me. Do you really have so much work to do? Is work more important thanand the child?" Sitting beside the bed, Edgar couldn't stop thinking about Jean. He was worried that she wouldn't eat on tand that she would recover her memories at any time.

"Edgar, are you listening to me?" Gigi tugged on his shirt when she noticed he was in a daze. However, her movement disrupted the fetus and caused her to experience throbbing pain.

Edgar quickly summoned the medical staff. After examining Gigi's situation, the doctor assured them that everything was fine.

"The child is going to be due soon. It'll be good for Ms. Reece to maintain a light mood and avoid being agitated." Despite knowing that, Gigi couldn't help being frustrated.

The child was going to be born soon, but no matter how she tried to convince Edgar, he wouldn't agree to marry her. Until now, they had not registered their marriage! Winnie was right. In all circumstances, a woman has to get her hands on her portion of assets in order to protect the child.

Jean leaned against the headboard of the bed.

"I'm in so much pain, Edgar. My only wish now is for the child to be born safely." She caressed her abdomen with her face looking pale.

Edgar nodded and hummed, "He'll be fine." He didn't want to feel guilty toward Gigi, so he had arranged everything perfectly. However, his answer was not what Gigi wanted.

Winnie was frustrated at seeing Gigi's clumsy acting, so she walked up and said, "Edgar, actually Gigi has been under great stress during this period. People are gossiping that she is not worthy of you. She cries whenever she hears gossip like that, and it's harmful to her body." After saying that, Winnie secretly observed Edgar's expression. Perceiving his indifferent response, she added tentatively, "Sam and I hope that she can marry a reliable man. Why don't you guys register your marriage first within the next few days? As for the wedding ceremony, we can hold one when the child grows older. What do you think?" Edgar furrowed his brows.

"We can handle the preparation if om you're busy. You just have to be present to sign the paper and take a picture. Winnie walked toward the bed with a smile and helped Gigi sit up. "So that Gigi can stop worrying." She secretly pinched Gigi under the blanket, causing Gigi to flinch all of a sudden, as if she was aggrieved.

"Edgar, the child is going to be born soon. Even if you don't care about anything else, please be considerate about the baby. He's your child!" Gigi gazed at Edgar carefully, anticipating an answer from him. Just then, Miles knocked on the door and opened it slightly. "Mr. Royden, the company is in trouble." Edgar stood up immediately and darted a profound glance at Gigi. "We'll talk about it when the child is born." With that, he strode out of the ward.

As the door closed, Winnie mumbled sulkily, "We've already put it in such a clear way. I can't believe he still refuses to marry you." Gigi bit her lips indignantly and sighed, "He must have started to doubt if the baby is his." Winnie shot a disappointed glance at Gigi.

"I've told you numerous times to stay away from Andy, and cling tightly to Edgar, but you didn't listen. How are you going to deal with the baby now?" X
