Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 278 Back to the Beginning

"That idea is too dangerous!" Nathan clenched his fists tightly. "You'd better think twice."

Edgar lowered his gaze. After all, he clearly understood Nathan's concerns. In fact, he even thought about it in the long run.

For example, if Jean remained like that, how would he respond when she asked about Gary, and how would he deal with her career?

He would prepare the answers for those questions, but no one knew how long such days would last.

"Let's put aside everything else. Melody's company issued a statement about her disappearance. According to the rumors, she had gone abroad with a male fan." Edgar's eyes flickered sharply. "Impossible. I believe she's still here."

He had already double confirmed with Brigid - the woman who brought the doctor was Melody herself.

"She put so much effort into taking revenge on my family. And now she's got the opportunity to do so." With that, he smiled coldly.

Since she has the guts to hurt my family, she has to bear the consequences.

Nathan knew that a storm was about to come from the look in his eyes.

"If there's anything I could help, don't hesitate to contact me. But, I hope you'll think about the plan you have for Jean."

That afternoon, the truth behind the cruise ship accident was being reported, and one of the interviewees was Melody, who claimed to be missing.

Through the phone, she accepted the interview from the reporters.

"I'm sure this accident was intentionally planned by a mastermind. Many people were injured, including Edgar's ex-wife, Jean. She was also on the ship, and she's in a dire state right now."

As soon as the news was reported, Susan ran out from the kitchen immediately and turned off the television.

She looked upstairs anxiously, and Jean walked out of the room right at that moment.

"What's wrong, Susan?"

"N-Nothing!" Since Jean didn't seem to have heard the news, Susan heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as Edgar returned in the evening, she pulled him aside. "Mr. Royden, this isn't a long-term solution. Your divorce was reported in the news again. The cat is going to be out of the bag in no time."

Edgar nodded. "I already booked plane tickets to bring her away tomorrow."

Susan thought this was a good idea, but during dinner, Jean hesitated upon hearing that.

"My dad's been very busy lately. I'm thinking if I should help him out," she said softly with her head hung low.

Edgar thought about it for a few seconds.

"I'll ask someone else to help Dad out. It'll help your recovery if you take some rest."

Susan was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe loudly, while Jean was quite overwhelmed upon hearing how Edgar addressed her father.

"If you are really against going, I'll ask them to refund the tickets." He looked at her.

"No, I'll go with you!" she quickly said. "I'll pack right now."

I'm just not used to our married life yet. She tried to convince herself with that. After dinner, she quickly went upstairs.

Soon, she asked him, "Why can't I find my clothes?"

"This is my villa, not our house. Your clothes are still there, and I've already sent someone to take it for you. You can just rest." He clenched his fists behind his back. Worried that she might be suspicious, he added, "If you are still worried about it, I can bring you over tomorrow."

She lifted her chin to look at him as she slowly shook her head with a wide smile on her face.

"I'll follow your plans." With that, she glanced at the time. "H-Have a good rest."NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Edgar frowned upon seeing her shy expression.

"I'll stop bugging you now." With that, she went into the room.

After they got married, they had only spent one night together in their newly-wed home, and he had even slept in the guest room.

However, as soon as she closed the door, she was overwhelmed by a brief darkness. With a shudder, she quickly walked into the bathroom, and Edgar went to the study to continue working.

A few minutes later, he heard a shrill scream and immediately ran to Jean.

"Jean?"

"I'm here."

Following the source of her voice, he walked into the bathroom. "What's wrong?"

He was worried that she might remember her past memories.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by mist.

She had already taken off her clothes, so her slender figure was being reflected in the mirror with her hand on a wound on her back.

"Don't look," she yelled. I can't turn around. Otherwise he will see me completely naked. But, since when did I have such a huge scar on my back?

She shuddered slightly. Edgar immediately walked to her and wrapped a towel around her body. "Don't catch a cold."

Her body gave a jolt. "The scar on my back - do you mind?"

She lifted her beautiful face and looked at him with love in her eyes. The mist from the hot water shrouded both of them.

No matter how much he tried to restrain himself, he could not suppress his desires at that moment.

"I treasure every part of your body."

With that, he placed his hand on her chin and slowly kissed her.

"Edgar," she mumbled softly.

Right after that, he swept her off her feet, making her wrap her arms around his neck instinctively with longing in her bright eyes.

"I'm here." Her face was reflected in his eyes as he slowly kissed her body.

"I'll always be with you."

The water droplets on Jean's body were quickly replaced by sweat.

"Edgar..."

The night was wild for both of them. Contents belong When she opened her eyes in the morning, she felt as though her bones were about to break.

As soon as she moved, he hugged her closely, making her giggle. I didn't know he's so clingy.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll go with you." With that, he inched closer to her, making her blush.

"I-I'll manage on my own." She quickly escaped from his embrace and ran to the bathroom.

After turning on the tap, her blush deepened.

Have we... slept with each other before this? Last night felt familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at herself in the mirror before slowly smiling.

Is this how it feels like being newly-weds?

He was around her for the entire day no matter where she went. Everm when he picked up a few calls outside, he would always keep an eye on her.

Jean touched her cheeks. "Is there something on my face?"

"No."

"Why do you keep looking at me then?" Her eyelashes fluttered m "Edgar, there's something I want to I talk to you about."

In the midst of pouring a cup of coffee, he froze. "What about?"

"It's just that..." She hesitated. "I have a feeling that I've forgotten om something especially something that's related to you."

Her voice became softer. "And you've been treating me very differently. I'm scared."

She fumbled around with her clothes as she took a deep breath, as though she had made up her mind.

"We are husband and wife. Can you tell me why-"

"Do you really want to know?" He turned to her with a profound look in his eyes that she could not decipher.
