Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 496

When Jean entered the visiting room, Gigi was already sitting there.She seemed to have lost weight, although Jean had not seen her for only a few days.

Nonetheless, her eyes looked clear and spirited.She wore a smile at once when she saw Jean and even waved at her.

However, when Gigi saw Edgar, who followed behind Jean, she was startled for a moment and lowered her head in silence.

Jean took up the phone and knocked on the glass panel, but there was still no response from Gigi.

With his eyes darkened, Edgar stood up and said, "I shall head out first."

After he walked out, Gigi lifted her head slowly, but the anticipation and excitement when she first saw Jean faded. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

In contrast, the dejection in her eyes was unconcealable.

"I brought some stuff for you.The officers will pass them to you after checking."

Jean uttered while gazing at Gigi earnestly.

Gigi cast her eyes down for a moment and sneered.

"I know why you came to visit me.The case will be brought to court soon; you and the lawyers are worried I'll retract my testimony.Am I right?"

After saying that, Gigi put down the phone and left without giving Jean a chance to speak.Her yelling penetrated the glass panel.

"I thought you trusted me, but you're no different from them!"

"No…”

Gigi closed the door with a loud bang and refused to see anyone thereafter, even the lawyers.

Jean took a deep breath and trod out from the visiting room.

Edgar was waiting in the corridor, and he could guess what had happened when he saw Jean's sullen look.

"She just needs more time to think things through."

Edgar croaked.

Jean shook her head.

"We're running out of time.The case will come before the court in two days.If Sam is not declared guilty in the trial, it will be more difficult to obtain a verdict in the future"

No lawyers would be willing to take on a sloppy case from years ago.

In fact, the media wouldn't be so interested in the case if it wasn't because Gigi was once a celebrity.

Jean was frustrated.She even regretted visiting today because things might not have worsened had she not come.

Edgar patted her shoulder.

"It's not your fault.You've already done enough.Let nature take its course."

His tone was nonchalant, as if the case was unrelated to him.

Jean gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "If Sam is not declared guilty this time, my father will become his scapegoat forever.

I have to clarify the whole incident so that things can end between us."She didn't want to owe Edgar anything and remain in a complicated relationship.She wanted to be quits with Edgar.

However, Edgar muttered with his eyes looking cold, "You're striving to get this matter done so that you can cut ties with me"

Jean didn't answer while Edgar was hot under the collar.

Nonetheless, he kept his shirt on, remembering that Jean was pregnant.

"Let's go home."

"I'm not being unreasonable or picking up a fight with you.I just think that we can't continue on like this."

Jean hummed softly.

At that moment, her rationality prevailed.

Her mind was clearer than ever, and she wasn't discussing their relationship with the slightest tinge of frustration.

Edgar's body stiffened as he turned around slowly to gaze fixedly at her.

"After this incident is over, shall we try dating each other again?"

Jean looked at Edgar calmly and observed his expression.

"If you're not keen, then..."

"I do."

Now that Jean had brought it up, Edgar would be an utter fool if he failed to grasp this opportunity.

Before Jean could realize it, Edgar had already pulled her into his arms.

No words were said as they felt each other's heartbeat.

Jean mumbled in his arms, "Can we...get into the car first?"

"Yeah."

Edgar was so excited that he almost became incoherent.

After sending Jean back to Eyer Residence that night and putting her to bed, he called Nathan immediately.

"There's something urgent!"

Nathan thought something happened in Royden Group or some other important projects, but little did he expect to hear Edgar's love story.

"So, you dragged me out in the middle of the night and asked me to skip my original plan to listen to your story?"

Nathan pressed his temples in resignation.

Sitting on the couch, Edgar was wearing a silly smile with his eyes filled with extraordinary gentleness.

Nathan had goosebumps all over when he perceived Edgar's gentle look, which seemed out of tune with his usual cold facial feature.He had never seen Edgar like this!

"I know you're overjoyed, but can you remain rational and mature? You guys went through a divorce.Now that you managed to win her back, it shows that she still has feelings toward you.You have to keep it up in the future."

Nathan's comment brought Edgar back to his senses.

"Jean proposed to date again, not restoring the marriage.Don't get too gleeful yet."

Edgar lifted his eyes to look at Nathan with an unconfident expression.

"You mean...it's possible that she ditches me?"

"Of course." Nathan answered in a serious manner.

Instantly, there was a change in Edgar's expression.

He straightened his body, grabbed the wine glass in front of Nathan, and drained the glass.

"Then tell me what I should do next?"

Edgar knew himself well - if he used his own method, he would most likely irritate Jean.

Although not all the tips that Nathan gave him a few days ago were useful, at least Jean finally gave in.

Now that a tinge of hope had appeared, he had to grasp it tight! "Come on, dude.I've taught you a lot about this before.You have to rely on your own."

Nathan said these words deliberately and moved slightly to the side.

"This is an A-tier project."

Edgar pressed Nathan's shoulder down.

"Five? "Three."

"Deal!"

Nathan smiled and drew closer to Edgar.

"Actually, what you should focus on now is not how to win her heart, but you should continue showing delicate care for her so that she'll gradually fall to your gentleness."

Edgar furrowed his brows.

"But she doesn't seem to fancy me interfering with her life."

He had a deep feeling about this.

Nathan shot a disdainful glance at Edgar.

"Think about it — are you caring for her, or are you interfering with her life? There's a difference between these two.You have to respect her first before loving her."

Edgar came to a sudden realization.

After mulling over it for a moment, he looked at Nathan and asked, "You're such a master in relationships, but why are you still single?"

Rendered speechless, Nathan frowned and retorted, "Do you still want to learn or not?"

Edgar lifted his hand immediately and opened another bottle of wine.

Only then did Nathan soften his expression.

"You have to balance your family and career.Regarding your uncle's matter, is everything settled?"
