Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Seduction Once Jean reached home, she used a bandage she purchased from the pharmacy downstairs to bandage the wound on her elbow. It was hard to do it with one hand, but she had no choice but to do it herself.

In her attempts to bandage her wound, she kept accidentally triggering it, causing her to gasp in pain. It made her think there was struth when people said a small wound hurt a lot because of how deep it was.

It took her a long tto finish bandaging her wound. Her forehead was covered with sweat in the end. As she was about to wash up, she heard someone knocking on the door. It sounded unhurried but firm.

Thus, Jean frowned and grabbed the broomstick beside her. "Who is it?" The security was quite poor in her area, and there were frequent break-ins nearby. However, her unit was bare, so there was nothing worthy of stealing. "It's me." Jean recognized Ben's voice and opened the door. "Why are you..." Before she could finish speaking, Ben pulled her into his arms. He wore a gray suit and smelled of alcohol. Furthermore, his usually handsand cheerful face now seemed dull.

Jean had never seen Ben like this. "Let go offirst." Jean patted his back to urge him to release her. Ben was pressing on her wound, causing her to grit her teeth.

They had hugged before, but those were polite greetings as friends. Their hug felt different this time, and it made Jean want to push him away immediately.

She had no romantic feelings for Ben.

"Jean, I'm drunk. If... If I did something, would you forgive me?" He pressed his head against her neck. His voice sounded exhausted.

Jean furrowed her brow. "Since you are drunk, you should go home." Then, she pushed hard, causing Ben to stagger and knock his back against the wall behind him.

His breathing quickened slightly, especially after he noticed Jean was only wearing a singlet. Furthermore, he had turned a little reckless from the alcohol in his system and could not help hugging her just now.

"Jean, I..." Ben wanted to tell her everything that happened tonight.

The Ludwig family would likely release an announcement tomorrow. He hoped Jean would understand that he had not changed, and he only agreed to engage with Ally due to his family pressuring him.

Moreover, he did it to save the racing team.

Ben took a deep breath and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the wound on Jean's elbow.

"How did you get that?" He becworried and abandoned what he wanted to say.

"It's nothing. I got hurt while moving things.” Jean adjusted her bandage and looked at Ben. "What were you saying just now?" She poured him a glass of water as she spoke.

Ben frowned and shook his head. "It doesn't matter." He could not bear to tell her. The courage and urgency to explain from just now had disappeared without a trace. Furthermore, he knew how exhausted Jen was.

Therefore, he felt he should not put more pressure on her. At the stime, he believed she did not care about the matter between him and the Sans family.

After all, it would be resolved soon.

Ben thought about this and put on a playful smile again. “I have no way of going htonight. Since I'm too drunk to drive, can I stay at your place for a night?" Jean looked at him and said through gritted teeth. "If you couldn't drive, how did you get here?" "I... I hired a replacement driver." "In that case, you can get a replacement driver to send you home." Jean turned around and headed to the bedroom.

Ben lay on the couch with a smile. "It's too late. There's no replacement driver at this hour." Thump! A blanket landed on Ben's head.

"I have to head to work at five o'clock in the morning. If you dare to snore, you are doomed.” Jean shouted and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

By the tshe cout of the bathroom, the living room was still and quiet.

Thus, Jean yawned and headed straight to bed.

Meanwhile, Ben remained wide awake on the couch. He smiled bitterly and was unsure whether he should be happy or disappointed. She trustsso much that she doesn't even seeas a man.

At the stime, Edgar's gaze was cold as he sat in the car and watched the lights go out of the apartment upstairs.

He had just finished a meeting at his company and heard from Miles what happened at the stuafter he left. They found blood stains on the background board.

Edgar happened to travel near Jean's residence and ordered his driver to drive there. However, he arrived to see Ben's car parked there.

That caused him to frown and made him feel a sudden surge of irritability.

"Drive." The following morning, Jean woke up to find Ben had left. She slept so soundly from exhaustion yesterday that she did not hear him leave.

After washing up, Jean went to the studio. Contents belong to She could hear whispers around her the moment she got in. The other staff looked at her judgmentally as they walked past.

Jean did not have to listen to know they were criticizing her.

She shook her head helplessly and went to arrange work for that day.

Suddenly, someone called out, "Mr. Wilton!" Jean turned to look and saw Sky walking in with a smile. He greeted everyone warmly and said, “Thank you for the hard work, everyone." He seemed friendly and approachable.

However, Jean suddenly recalled an incident and could not help but turn stern.

Speople are so good at concealing their true selves that no one can see through them.

"Jean, can you cover for a moment?" Sky called out to her.

Everyone immediately focused on Jean.

"Why did Mr. Wilton call her over?" "Perhaps he is giving her more work due to her relationship with Edgar? How nice it is to have a powerful lover." "She and Edgar were so intimate and shameless when we caught them..." The whisperings grew harsher.

However, Jean had a clear conscience. She was only using and m have anionshipd hot wish to with him.

Furthermore, she clearly knew what had happened then. But it was pointless explaining to these people.

Then, she walked to Sky and asked, "You asked to see me?" "I heard something happened yesterday. Are you alright?" Sky smiled and looked concerned.

Jean was astonished. Why does he behave like we are close? His expression and tone are too strange for a simple show of concern by a superior to a subordinate.

"I'm fine," Jean replied briefly and looked at Sky with confusion.

When they were being assigned into groups, Sky behaved as if he did not know her. Now, he seemed unusually friendly.

"That's good to hear. You should restfor today. You can also leave here first if you wish to Please remember to take good care of yourself." Then, he even patted Jean's shoulder as if he was her close friend. That infuriated the other staff who were watching.

When Zoe cin, she heard the staff discussing about Jean. "How can she be so shameless as to flirt with Mr.

Wilton before everyone?" "What a sl*t. She seduces every man she sees."

Zoe's gaze darkened as she walked past them. "Mr. Wilton, these are the design drafts you rea There are three of them, and they are all Jean's." Sky nodded with satisfaction. “There's no need to choose anymore. We will use Jean's designs. Also, give her the right to sign in her name." X
