EDGAR’S RELENTLESS PURSUE FOR THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE - Season 1 Episode 57

“What’s wrong, Edgar?” Gigi reached out for his hand, but as soon as she touched him, she jerked back instinctively from his cold fingers.

“Nothing. You should take a rest first. I have something else to attend to.” With that, Edgar prepared to walk out of the room. Behind him, Gigi plucked up her courage and asked, “Are you going to visit Jean?”

A long time ago, he once told her that he only married Jean for revenge. But why do I think that he actually likes her? A woman’s intuition is indeed funny.

“I forbid you to go.” She frowned at him. “She is already stained. You might not know about this, but she went to Luminance Villa again, and she drank with many men. On top of that, she even owed loan sharks a lot of money. I think she almost got thrown into the sea.”

“How do you know about that?” he asked sharply, turning around to walk to her. “I clearly told you to stay out of this and take a good rest at home, yet you ignored my instructions?”

Three chances are all I’ll give. I have already given her ample chances.

“T-That’s not the case, Edgar. I overheard it from my friends, who told me about this casually, since you were once married to Jean.” She quickly found an excuse. Worried that he would not believe her, she pretended to take her phone out. “They were my celebrity friends. You can have a look at our chat history, if you don’t believe me!”

She was positive that Edgar would not look at it.

He looked at her deeply for a long time before finally saying, “Don’t do this again.”

Seeing that she’s pregnant, I’ll give her another chance, but this will be the last chance.

Thinking that he believed her excuse, she immediately smiled obediently. “Got it, Edgar. Carry on with your errands, but can we have breakfast together tomorrow?”

She was furious about this, but she knew very well she could not persuade him to stay the night anymore.

However, he merely shifted his gaze and left the room.

After taking a few hours of nap, Jean finally woke up, feeling hungry.

She remembered that the hotel had provided a meal voucher for the bar downstairs, so she made her way down. Surprisingly, the view at the hotel was quite nice, with melodious music playing in the background.

With the sea breeze blowing gently on her face, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.

A blond man approached her and asked politely, “Excuse me, do you know how I can get here?”

She scooted closer and saw the map on his phone. Coincidentally, she had spotted this building on her way here.

“From here, you can…”

From afar, Edgar only saw her back as she chatted happily with the man at the beach.

Perhaps what Gigi said wasn’t entirely false. I’ve seen her getting close with many men. It’s only been a few hours since we arrived, yet she is so quick to flirt with another man.

He frowned in distaste.

As Miles brought a platter over, he continued to report to Edgar about their work schedule the next day.

Surprisingly, Edgar was not paying attention to him.

“Would you like to call it a day? We still need to make some changes to tomorrow’s proposal with Perles.”

However, Edgar’s frown only lessened slightly when he saw that the man had left, and Jean was still standing at the same spot.

Leaning against the fence, she ate some food, but she had a feeling that she was being watched. Yet, when she turned around, she could not see anyone.

“Weird.”

As she mulled it over, she heard a yell from the distance.

“Help! Is there anyone who knows how to swim? Someone’s in the sea over there…” the person yelled loudly.

Upon hearing that, everyone in the bar went out, but she walked right to Jean. “Do you know how to swim?”

Without waiting for a reply, she pulled Jean to the sea.

Edgar tightened his hold on his coffee cup and instructed, “Go have a look, Miles.”

“Yes, Mr. Royden.”

Sure enough, someone seemed to be struggling in the sea in the distance.

Nonetheless, the woman who pulled Jean to the beach seemed like she wanted Jean to jump into the sea this instant.

Looking at her surroundings, Jean shook her head. “Sorry, I’m not very good at swimming either, so I can’t save him. You’d better find a professional lifeguard.”

“We won’t be able to make it in time! If you’re just going to watch, aren’t you worried about karma?”

Jean frowned upon hearing that. Karma? If such a thing existed, some people would have gotten their retribution.

She shook her head and turned around to walk back to the bar.

Unexpectedly, that person did not ask for help from other people, and instead she continued to pester Jean. “You should go and save-”

Plop!

Suddenly, the woman fell into the sea, as though she had lost her footing. Fortunately, the water was not deep.

Her dress was drenched and it clung onto her body closely. Glaring at Jean, she yelled, “You are so heartless! No wonder your husband abandoned you!”

Why did she mention Edgar out of the blue? How infuriating! She frowned.

At this moment, more people gathered around them. Judging at the situation, Miles looked at the woman for a short while before turning around to walk back to the bar.

In the end, a lifeguard saved the drowning person in the sea.

However, Jean and that woman were surrounded by the crowd.

At this moment, she suddenly yelled and pointed at Jean, “She clearly knows how to swim, yet she refused to save him! As if that wasn’t enough, she even pushed me into the sea. How evil!” Contents belong

Jean listened to her accusations quietly without returowd just now, After all, they were away from the from the crowd just now, and no one else saw how the woman fell into the sea just now.

Hence, she was unable to explain herself.

“What?”

“How cruel! Which company is she from?”

“Let’s take a picture and post it online!”

With a slight smirk on her face, Jean walked to the woman.

“What are you going to do to me? Are you going to harm me in front of so many people?” She glanced at Jean in great trepidation, not daring to meet Jean’s eyes at all, for the expression in them was so vacant that something seemed off.
