Chapter 877

Wendy was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Edmund locked up and gazed into Wendy's eyes.

"There's actually something I have never told you."

Wendy's heart almost stopped.

She had a hunch that what Edmund was about to say had something to do with Larissa and Kevan.

Wendy had overheard their conversation outside the study last night.

That was why she had rushed to meet Edmund.

She was eager to know the truth and not be the only person kept in the dark,

"Kevan is my cousin. Our fathers are brothers."

At this moment. Wendy suddenly felt foolish.

Edmund and Kevan had the same surname.

They also locked a little similar.

Still she never once connected the two together.

"Then?" She fidgeted with the hem of her clothes

Edmund put on a sorrowful expression. "After my grandfather died, he left the company to my elder brother. Since then. Kevan held

grudge against both of us. He saw us as a target and oppressed us.

"When he found out that we got together, he had someone drug me and staged a scere in front of you. He made you believe that I cheated on you so that you'd break up with me. "Wendy, you have to believe me! I care about you, I haven't done anything to hurt your

He put on such an emotional performance that he almost choked on his own saliva.

Edmund coughed, causing his body to shiver.

The pained expression on his face moved Wency's heart with pity.

*Take your time" Wendy wanted to pat his back, but she was afraid that she would cause him more pain.

In the end, she didn't dare touch him and could only stand by helplessly.

It took a while for Edmund to compose himself. He continued, "These injuries were caused by Kevan. He warned me to stay away from Larissa and to not harbor any ill intentions toward her. Still -

He turned to Wendy with a fervent gaze. "The only reason I stayed in Westonia was because of you and our child.

"Wendy, I love you. I wish to live with you and our child. I want to create a happy family with you."

Edmund's gaze fell on Wendy's flat stomach.

Wendy held onto his hand and placed her other hand on her stomach. She had a determined lock in her eyes. "I will explain everything to Lan and M. Rogers. Then, I will go to the police station to drop the

case.

"Take care of yourself, I will come and accompany you along with our child."

"Okay." Edmund managed to force a smile.

Fifteen minutes passed. The officer opened the door and reminded Wendy, "Time's un,"

Wendy left reluctantly. Before she walked up, she assured Edmund, "You'll be line, I promise."

Wendy drove to the police station.

Alas, the officer rejected her request.

"Ms. Simmons, you are not the person who led the report. We will only drop charges if the person who filed the report came in person."

"My friend filed the report because she thought that Edmund had kidnapped me! I can prove that I wasn't kidnapped. Can't the charges be dropped in this case?" Wendy said.

"Something doesn't add up. Is your friend Kevan Rogers?" The officer flipped through the file.

Although Wendy couldn't understand why it was Kevan who had reported the case, she nodded. "Yes."

"When Mr. Rogers reported the case, he told us that his fiancée was kidnapped. You aren't his fiancée, aren't you?"
