Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 156 Were They Kissing?

Jean could clearly perceive Edgar’s face darkening. Sitting across from Jean, Susan lowered her head quietly. “Tuck

in, Susan. Don’t care about the others. I made this dinner especially for you.”

Edgar’s countenance became even more frigid. Susan stood up awkwardly and mumbled, “Please have a seat, sir.”

Just then, Edgar’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and went upstairs to answer the call. Jean was so satisfied

seeing his sullen look that even her appetite and mood improved.

“You shall bear the consequences since you insist on making me stay. We’ll see who will be driven crazy first!”

Given Jean’s current situation, she had nothing to worry about, not even her dignity. Her only weaknesses were Eyer

Group and Ben. As such, Edgar could hardly threaten her.

“Miss Eyer, sir has no intention to harm you by asking you to stay.” Susan cast a glance upstairs and whispered, “He

kept asking me to take good care of you.”

Jean continued eating and blurted out of the blue, “Susan, you seem to be quite close with the Royden family. I

guess you’re aware of the relationship between Edgar and I.”

Susan nodded slowly. “Yeah.” “Then do you think I’ll possibly obey him?” Wearing a wide grin, Jean asked in a light

tone as if she had nothing to do with this matter. “Miss Eyer…”

“Susan, I appreciate your care toward me these few days, so I prepared this meal to thank you. Let’s stop talking

about the unhappy things and annoying people, okay? Come, try this egg.”

Jean was the kind of person that would repay others’ kindness a hundredfold. Ben was the best example—because

he had been benevolent to Jean, Edgar managed to use him to threaten Jean.

Susan nodded. “Thank you, Miss Eyer.”

Jean smiled. “Let’s tuck in.” However, Jean was the only one that joyfully devoured the food, while Susan looked

troubled and merely ate a little before she went to clean the kitchen.

After finishing the call, Edgar went downstairs and gave Jean a death stare. To his surprise, Jean lifted her head to

meet his gaze and asked, “Have you talked to the auto racing committee?”

Edgar asked coldly, “Is Ben all that you think about?”

“Yes.” To Jean, this was currently the most urgent agenda. Edgar clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “Fine. I

shall show you his true color.”

Before Jean could understand what Edgar was saying, the latter dragged her out of the house. Susan walked out of

the kitchen upon hearing the ruckus and saw the two leave the house. She sighed. “Both of them actually care

about each other. Why do they have to torture each other like this…”

But alas, Jean and Edgar wouldn’t be bothered by Susan’s words even if they heard her.

…

“Why did you bring me here?”

Looking at the grand pub in front of her, Jean frowned disgustedly. “I’m not interested in meddling with your

repulsive pastime.”

With a cold and hostile countenance, Edgar dragged Jean out of the car and croaked, “Go in.”

Jean nearly tripped and fell as a result of Edgar’s push.

She turned to shoot a glare at him and cursed him inwardly as she walked up the stairs reluctantly.

The security guards at the entrance were about to stop her, but they greeted Edgar courteously when they saw

him. “Hi, Mr. Royden.”

Jean scoffed. “I knew it. Places like this are where you always go. Shameless jerk!”

Edgar rubbed his temples. Jean had already cursed him countless times today. He tried to keep his shirt on as he

pulled Jean into the bar.

Numerous young men and women were jiving to the music on the dance floor.

The atmosphere was chaotic, with countless people standing outside the private rooms. Everything was beyond

Jean’s imagination.

This place was even more anarchic than Luminous Club!”Hi, Mr.

Royden.” Every club manager that passed by greeted Edgar while Edgar strode directly to the private room at the

end of the corridor.

“You shall take a good look and realize all men are the same. It’s not just me, Ben is the same too.” Edgar seized

Jean’s arm and pressed her face against the small window to make her look inside the room.

There were a few men and women sitting on the couch.

“Ben…”

Jean was stunned. He has just undergone an operation, yet he’s drinking at this kind of place?

Jean was worried about Ben’s health, so she was about to barge in, but Edgar read her mind and forestalled her. He

leaned close to her ear and whispered, “The show has yet to begin.”Jean frowned. “I’m not a busybody like you,

stalking the others outside their room. You perverted guy!”

“Oh yeah?”

Edgar seized Jean’s chin and forced her to continue looking into the room.

“See for yourself the true color of your admirer.”

Jean turned her head away because she had no intention of looking at Ben at all. However, Edgar was so forceful

that she couldn’t break away from him as he pressed her face against the glass.

What came into sight were two beautiful women sitting next to Ben on both sides. Then, they pounced on him

wildly. The scene was so uninhibited that even Jean felt embarrassed looking at it.

Frowning, she felt Edgar’s warm breath gushing behind her ear. “Are you disgusted by it? Didn’t he plan to propose

to you in the hospital’s backyard? But alas, you didn’t show up.”

“Let go of me!”

Jean’s holler attracted the attention of those inside the room.

While she was still in a daze, Edgar spun her around to make her head lean against his chest. Then, he emphatically

pressed her against the wall. Placing his arm in front of Jean’s body, Edgar lowered his head and pretended to kiss

her.

Someone came out of the room and saw the two. “So it’s a couple. Buddy, go and make out somewhere else.”

With that, the person closed the door.

Edgar looked down to see Jean’s eyes closed. He smirked in a teasing manner and uttered, “Do you know what kind

of person he is now?”

Jean remained silent.

“All men are the same.” Edgar’s cold and deep voice was like a stone weighing on one’s heart, leaving them with no

room to escape.

“Hey, Mr. Royden!”

Someone yelled from behind. Edgar turned around and saw Nathan, Jonathan, and Brad.

They were dumbfounded when they saw Edgar turn around.

“Are you holding a woman in your arms?”

“Oh my goodness! Quickly take a picture of them and send it to the paparazzi! This is unprecedented news! The

aloof Edgar is caught with a woman…” While saying that, Jonathan managed to recognize Jean vaguely.

“Isn’t that Je—”

Before Jonathan could finish his sentence, Brad covered his mouth and babbled, “Carry on, Mr. Royden. We didn’t

see anything. I swear.”

Nathan chimed in too. “Yeah, we’ve not seen Edgar Royden today.”

Jean hit Edgar forcefully with her elbow and wanted to break away from him, but the latter seized her wrist tight.

“Hey, why don’t you guys join us?” Edgar said to his three friends.

They turned around with a confused look. “Five of us? Together?”

A chill ran down Brad’s spine. Perceiving Edgar’s glare, he knew they must not agree to the invite because Edgar

was like a beast who was at the edge of fuming.

God knows why he’s here with Jean! And… it seems like they were kissing just now!
