Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Unavoidable

Since Edgar had already said so, the staff exchanged glances with each other before saying, “Don’t do it again, Ally.” With that, they went back to their seats without pursuing the matter any further,

Meanwhile, Ally mumbled an apology before going back to her seat. Jean stood at the same spot for a long time. Looking at Edgar, she asked, “Why?”

“I don’t like to owe anyone a favor, including you.” He was referring to how she fed him the medicine when he was feeling awful just now.

Even though she did a good job of hiding her identity, he still came to know about that, because no one except her would do that. How sarcastic! I shouldn’t have taken pity on him, and just let him die!

A frown appeared on her face with that thought in mind. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.” With that, she tried to walk past him.

However, the airplane made a sudden jerk, making her fall backward.

The person who was the closest to her was Edgar, and she could very well hold onto him instinctively to avoid landing on the ground, but she frowned obstinately and refused to ask for his help.

When she was about to fall to the ground, he pulled her up with a darkened expression on his face.

“You would rather fall to the ground than ask for my help?”

She gritted her teeth before replying, “I wouldn’t dare to give you so much trouble, Mr. Royden. Plus, it’s not advisable for us to touch each other.”

She shoved him away and walked back to her seat. Then, she put on an eye mask and fell asleep.

When she woke up, the plane was already preparing to land.

When she took off her eye mask, she noticed that Miles had returned to the economy cabin. That guy is most probably consoling his fiancée in front.

She shook her head to clear the thoughts. Then, she packed her stuff and prepared to get off the plane.

Since everyone had taken their leave one after another, when she reached the exit, no one was left in the business cabin. However, a slight fragrance still lingered in the air. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Sure enough, the environment is very different.

Looking at one of the spots, she told herself firmly, “Jean, you will return to your world one day.”

Summer in Sacrelo was very hot, so the air-conditioning was on full blast in the mall. Nevertheless, the locals were lightly dressed. Jean took off her stained jacket, revealing a beige vest. Matched with a pair of jeans, she looked rather cool indeed.

On top of that, she had a great figure, so she stood out among the crowd, as if she were a celebrity.

At this moment, Gigi returned from the washroom, wearing a Bolivia-style dress. She twisted her hips sexily when she walked, as though she were a butterfly.

Though she was pretty, she exuded cheap vibes.

“Edgar, I want some ice-cream,” she said coquettishly as she held onto Edgar’s arm.

“You’re pregnant,” he replied coldly, silencing her.

Upon hearing that, she hung her head without any reply.

Then, they left the airport in a posh, business-like car.

Compared to them, Jean had to take a taxi to the hotel. Since the hotel had been arranged beforehand, everyone stayed at the same place – Hotel Havis, but they were staying on different floors.

Right behind the hotel was a private beach that was exclusive to the hotel guests.

After checking in, Jean went to her room with the access card in her hands.

Based on the schedule, they were free to do anything they wanted from now until evening. All she wanted at this moment was a good nap.

Meanwhile, at the hotel lobby, Ally had been eyeing Gigi, who was on her phone. As soon as Edgar was not around, she immediately went to speak to Gigi.

“Ms. Reece, can I have a few words with you?”

The Sans family were more well-educated than the Reece family.

Since young, Ally had received top-class international education, and she seemed rather elegant and poised. Gigi could not even dream about joining her socialite circle.

“Do take a seat, Ms. Sans.” She straightened her back. “What’s up?”

“I’m just an outsider, so I don’t really understand what’s going on. However, now that you are pregnant, I don’t think you should be in the dark.”

With a frown on her face, Gigi listened to what she was about to say next.

“Jean deliberately tripped in the plane just now to get into Mr. Royden’s arms. It seems like she has some romantic interest toward him.” With that, Ally sighed. “I’m her friend, but I don’t want to see her ruining another person’s relationship.”

How dare she do that! A murderous look flitted across Gigi’s eyes. Winnie is right! I should get rid of anyone who tries to ruin my wedding!

When Edgar returned from the washroom, Miles had already completed the check-in for them. “Mr. Royden, you are staying on the 15th floor with Ms. Reece, while I’ll be on the 8th floor.”

“Thanks,” he said as he took the access cards from him.

Meanwhile, Gigi scooted closer to him and asked, “What about Jean? Which floor is she on?”

Miles shot an instinctive look at Edgar before shaking his head. “No idea.”

“Weren’t you just next to her when you were at the counter just now? How could you not know?” Gigi mumbled to herself.

“Let’s go.” Edgar could not care less about her tantrum and started to walk into the elevator.

He did not like women who liked to gossip, yet Gigi was a talkative woman.

She rested her head on his shoulder, completely ignoring Mile’s presence. “Edgar, I’m going to try on the evening gown in the room. Come take a look at it!”

Meanwhile, Miles was facing the elevator door, trying his best to ignore them.

“I need to do some work. Why don’t you try it on yourself first?” Edgar replied coolly, as his patience was wearing out.

Nevertheless, she still did not care about the situation and pulled him into her room.

As soon as they entered the room, she clung onto him immediately.

Winnie once told her, “Men usually prioritize two things – their career and their woman. Now that Edgar has everything, I’m sure his desire for the latter is strong. Even though you are pregnant, try to get closer to him so that no one can take advantage of your situation.”

The only way for me to bind him to me is through the pendant and the baby. Now that that pendant is useless, I can only use my body and beauty to make him fall for me.

With that thought in mind, a coy smile appeared on her face. In the past, Andy would pounce on her ravenously as soon as he saw such a smile on her face.

As long as Edgar is a normal man, I’m sure he will be moved by me.

“Edgar, my belly was slightly uncomfortable just now. Would you like to touch our baby?” She turned her body around and laid her head on his chest as she drew circles on his body. “It’s been a while since we last got together.”

She had already done everything within her power, but Edgar merely glanced at her belly without uttering a word.
