EDGAR’S RELENTLESS PURSUE FOR THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE - Season 1 Episode 46

Gigi came out in the new outfit with the back undone. She said coyly, “Edgar, I can’t reach the back. Can you help me?”

Jean glanced towards her. It wasn’t difficult to reach at all.

Is she doing it on purpose?

Edgar frowned. There were a few people around them. It was graceless of her to come out in such a way. Jean could zip the top up, so why couldn’t she?

“Hurry, Edgar.”

He was forced to zip it up for Gigi. Contents belong

Gigi acted as if she hadn’t noticed the displeasure and reluctance in his face. She smiled coyly before the mirror. “It looks nice, right?”

It wasn’t bad on her, but compared to Jean, she looked like she was wearing a counterfeit garment.

“Edgar?”

“Hmm, looks good,” he replied half-heartedly.

Gigi ordered, “Pack this up too. Edgar, wait for me. I’ll change back into my clothes.”

As she entered the room, she heard Jean say, “Never mind. I’ll have a look around first.”

She thought Jean couldn’t afford it.

Gigi went into Jean’s changing room and took away her clothes.

When Jean went back to change, she couldn’t find the clothes.

She looked around the changing rooms and went back out. Edgar had left with Gigi.

“Excuse me, have you seen my clothes?”

“No, miss. Our clerks never enter the changing rooms.”

Gigi must be behind it.

I was too soft on her last night!

Jean glanced at the entrance. “Can I wear this outfit and shop around for a bit? I’ll return it when I find an outfit to buy. After all, my clothes are lost in this shop.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

It was the only idea she had.

Unexpectedly, the clerk smiled. “You can just take this outfit. The man from earlier had paid for it.”

Jean was stumped. Edgar bought the clothes for her?

She furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t want to own the same clothes as Gigi, nor did she want that man’s charity.

After a moment of indecision, she made a call to Ben.

Gigi walked around with Edgar, hand in hand. She pulled him back to the shop, saying she wanted to look around.

In truth, she was there to make fun of Jean.

Jean would have to buy the clothes since the ones she came in had disappeared.

Gigi entered and saw Jean in the shop with the same outfit on. She smirked. “Why are you still standing around here? Could it be that you can’t afford to buy it?”

Edgar stared at Jean’s face.

Why wouldn’t she leave when he had paid for the clothes?

“Jean, give it to me.”

A man’s voice came from behind them. Ben strode toward Jean with a bag of garments in hand. Beads of sweat dripped off his head.

Edgar’s eyes darkened.

Jean sighed. “Thanks.”

She went into the changing room with the bag. She stripped the dress off and changed into the casual clothes Ben had brought.

When Jean went back out, she returned the dress to the clerk right in front of Gigi.

She smiled. “Some people may look glamorous on the outside, but they do all sorts of tricks behind others’ back. Isn’t that shameful? Only you and I entered the changing rooms earlier. Don’t deny it. One of you stole my clothes while the other covered for the thief, pretending to be a kind-hearted person and paid for this dress. The way the two of you work together disgusts me.”

Edgar’s chest tightened. A flame of fire ignited in his heart.

Gigi did bring an extra bag of clothes with her as she exited the changing rooms, but he didn’t realize the truth.

He saw that Jean liked the outfit and knowing that she was deep in debt, he wanted to help her.

Yet she misunderstood his intention and even called Ben for help.

Ben stood by Jean’s side. “Come on. Let’s not waste our energy on them.”

Jean nodded and headed out, passing by Edgar’s side.

A hand pulled her back.

Gigi widened her eyes. “Edgar?”

“Royden, release my hand!”

Edgar only stared at Jean. “Do you detest the things that I give to you?”

Jean felt that her wrist was in immense pain, as if her skin was about to be ripped off. She smiled. “Mr. Royden, you’re well aware of it, but you still asked. Why would you do such a foolish thing?”

She didn’t just loathe it. She was disgusted.

Royden Group’s each and every penny was her family’s assets.

When she remembered that the hand that was gripping hers had touched others while they were still married, she felt absolutely disgusted.

Edgar’s eyes were getting darker by the minute. Her argumentative temperament had only grown after a year in prison.

He tugged at her. Jean’s slim body was jerked nearer toward him. He warned her, “I’m trying to be nice to you but you’re acting insolent.”

She looked at him blankly and shoved his hand away.

“Mr. Royden, you’re too kind. I wouldn’t dare accept it. And I’m not the type that can be bought with money. I’m different from Gigi.”

Her words struck the two of them.

Gigi was stomping in anger. Edgar’s face turned black.

The shop clerks lowered their heads, scared to watch the scene.

Jean grabbed Ben. “Let’s go.”

“Edgar, did you hear what she said? She was over the line. Are you just going to take her insults?” Gigi fanned the flames, hoping that Edgar would stand up for her.

But he only averted his eyes from Jean.

He faced Gigi coldly.

Gigi took a step back shakily and said, “Edgar, why are you looking at me like that?”

“You know what you’ve done.”

At least, he realized that Jean was much more honest than Gigi after the incident with the carnelian pendant.

He turned to leave. Gigi gritted her teeth and followed him. “Edgar…”
