Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 463

Chapter 463

The door opened, but she did not step in.

Edgar only raised his eyes and looked at her after Miles left quietly.

Jean could not understand the look in his eyes.

"Sam's case has been forwarded to the court. You should stop interfering."

He had said this countless times already. But Jean never listened.

A fragrant scent filled his office. But it wasn't the type of perfume he liked.

"Was it a gift from someone else?"

Jean walked over and sat down. She pretended to act casually.

"Kind of"

He wanted to continue, but his phone rang.

After he glanced at the caller ID, he hesitated a while before he answered it.It was about his previous collaboration with Oprah Group.

Jean was so bored sitting on the sofa while he was occupied that she fell asleep without her knowledge. She opened her eyes abruptly when she heard footsteps in front of her. Her eyes were full of caution.She grabbed the wrist of the person in front of her intuitively.

"I only wanted to put a blanket over you;" Edgar explained and sighed softly.

He had heard from Susan that Jean had been on her toes since Gigi returned. He frowned. He had forsaken Jean when she most needed him. He could have settled this matter earlier if he hadn't been pissed of with her back then.

She wouldn't have suffered so much.

Jean quickly got up.It was already dark outside.

"You've ensured my safety, so I want to go back now."

"You don't have to see me off." Jean immediately walked out of the room without giving him a chance to say anything.

Miles had been waiting outside for Edgar's further orders. He sighed as he witnessed the scene.

Just as Miles was about to turn around to look at Edgar, Edgar was already chasing after Jean.

"Did you notice anything off about Jean after she came back from the police station just now?"

His stare was fixed on Jean as she entered the elevator.

Miles thought carefully before shaking his head.

"No.Ms.Eyer slept all the way here. She seemed exhausted."

This wasn't the answer Edgar wanted.

"Send someone to watch over her.Inform me immediately if anything fishy happens."

Did she really lose the child? Ben replied to Jean the next day.

"I've told Sonny to buy our tickets. But weren't you reluctant to join before this? Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"

Jean only felt slightly better after drinking a huge glass of milk.

"I think I should go have some fresh air."

She had detailed information about this mountain bike race.

The terrain of the race course was uneven.

There were many potholes.

Moreover, there were many thunderstorms.

But the race had not been called off, regardless of the weather.

But this made the race more unpredictable and exciting for illegal gambling.

Ben did not think that far at the other end of the phone.

"I will go pick you up after I'm done with work tomorrow. The weather there is different. It would be best if you went there a few days earlier to familiarize yourself with it.We can go have a look at the venue too"

"Sure."

Jean only had one thing on her mind. She no longer heard what Ben was saying.

It was a dangerous race.

Just that point was important enough.

Jean made another appointment with another gynecologist before she left. She registered herself under Gigi's name.

After a few simple questions, the doctor told her to lie on the examination bed.

"Have you had a miscarriage before?"

The doctor was almost fifty and was very experienced. His diagnosis was quick.

"Your indicators are all normal, but you still have to be careful."

Jean felt relieved in an instance. She could only rest assured after hearing it herself.

The doctor went on with a series of advice.

"Have your meals on time and go on regular check-ups. You have to be more careful than ordinary mothers. Ask your family to accompany you for your medical check-ups next time. Pregnancy shouldn't be something you do alone.It is best if you can come with your partner. We have parenting courses too at our hospital."

"You should register a file at the obstetric department next time' Jean held the report in her hand tightly as many pregnant women walked past her in the corridor. Most of them were accompanied by their partners or their parents. She looked out of place. Just as she walked out of the door, her phone rang.

"What are you doing at the gynecologists?"

His tone sounded anxious. He seemed anxious for an answer.

"To see a friend," Jean replied coldly.

"Edgar Royden.I will sue you if you have someone following me around." The man sighed.

"I'm just concerned about your safety."

"Don't you know I'll only be safe if you stay away from me?"

Jean felt angry for no reason.

She would not have gotten pregnant if it wasn't for him.

It started drizzling when she was walking. She quickly went to a convenience store nearby for shelter.

She put her hand in front of her belly instinctively.

Jean could finally feel something else besides revenge when the thought of her having a child came to her mind. After the call ended, Edgar stared out of the car at the rain.

His stare did not leave Jean.

"Go to the hospital and investigate."

"Okay, Mr.Royden."

Miles parked the car at the roadside. But Jean knew nothing about it as she could not see them from inside the building.

Soon, Miles came out of the hospital.

He reported quickly, "Mr.Royden, there are no records of Ms.Eyer in this hospital. Their surveillance cameras do not cover all areas in this hospital as this is a gynecologist hospital. There are no records of her entering any rooms."

Edgar frowned harder.

"Forget it. Let's go."

As they left, the latest financial news was heard on the radio.

"Reece Group has officially announced bankruptcy today.Royden Group made an unexpected counter.."

Edgar went home, exhausted.

The living room was empty and so clean that there was no smoke smell. He made a simple bowl of pasta and sat down. He stared at the vapors from his bowl and called Susan.

"Prepare all of Jean's three meals starting tomorrow and send them to her. Make sure she takes her meals regularly."

"Okay.I got it.Leave it to me, sir."

The next day, Susan hurriedly returned to Royden's family villa and reported, "Sir, Ms.

Eyer is not at home.

I called her, and she told me that she is going overseas."

"What?"

Edgar immediately rushed to the airport.

On his way there, he got Miles' call.

"Mr.Royden, the plane Ms. Eyer is on has taken off. Apparently, there will be a race at her destination. The Black Horse Team, the team Ben Ludwig contracted, will participate in the race. The man's cold face darkened more. He ordered slowly and clearly.

"Buy me a ticket"
