Chapter 380


    Chapter 380 She’s Mrs. Royden


    “Mr. Royden?” Miles knocked on the dock manager’s room door. “Gigi has been found and sent back to


    Reece Residence.” Edgar had been staying here all day and night since the ship went missing.


    But it was not his choice. More urately, he had been confined here. It was the same for Miles. They


    were nning to board the ship that evening. Edgar even rejected all business matters so that he had


    time to exin things to Gigi.


    Since he wished to continue pursuing Jean, he needed to clear all obstacles. However, he did not


    expect someone to knock him out and confine him here.


    Who in the city would dare to do this? He did suspect a few people, but on further thought, none of


    them seemed likely. His stern expression turned threatening. He had experienced something simr


    since he rebuilt Royden Group.


    “Mr. Royden, I have arranged a car here. Let’s return first.” Miles was worried about Edgar’s health. He


    had neither eaten nor slept for a day and night. Even a healthy person would not bear it.


    Edgar said slowly, “Is there any news about Jean?” “Ms. Eyer…” As Miles was answering him, the door


    suddenly burst open. Jean rushed into the room and hugged Edgar.


    She pressed her head against Edgar’s chest and cried profusely. It seemed she was letting out all the


    pain and sadness she had experienced all this while.


    Edgar was stunned. It took him a few seconds before he hugged her back. Jean did not let go of him


    but continued to cry.


    Miles immediately left the room to give them privacy.


    Edgar frowned as he looked down at her. “Please don’t cry.”


    His heart ached. He had never seen her like this.


    Jean kept sobbing. Her eyes were red and swollen. She let go of him and looked at him for a while


    before asking, “You said you wanted to marry me. Is the offer still open?”


    “Yes.”


    Edgar held her fingertips tightly but did not speak anymore.


    She stood on the tip of her toes and kissed his lips.


    She prolonged the kiss and ced all her effort into it until she nearly ran out of breath. Then, she flung


    herself into his embrace again.


    “I…”


    But before she could say anything else, Edgar flipped them around and pressed her against the wall.


    “The Civil Affairs Bureau is not open yet.”


    He kissed her passionately, expressing all the desires and affection he had suppressed for a long time.


    Miles stood outside for more than thirty minutes before opening the door again.


    Then, Edgar pulled Jean into the car and rushed toward Royden Group.


    Soon, the reporters revealed that Edgar had never spent the night on the ship with Gigi. He had never


    boarded the ship but was with Jean, his ex-wife. Furthermore, they have reconciled.


    “Congrattions, Mr. Royden.” Miles was so shocked that those words were all he could say.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Things progressed at a speed beyond his imagination.


    He worked by Edgar’s side daily and knew how happy Edgar was.


    Edgar kept holding Jean’s hand. She tried to pull away but to no avail. Thus, she frowned and said,


    “You should let my hand go first. I want to give you something.”


    Edgar shook his head and looked at her.


    “I don’t need it.”


    He wanted her only and nothing else.


    His deep-set eyes were gentle as he looked at her face.


    “Do I have to follow you everywhere while you deal withpany matters? People will gossip if they


    see us.” Jean knew how crazy her actions were.


    But when she flung herself into Edgar’s embrace, she found all her defense and caution swept away.


    She felt like a ship finally reaching the harbor after being adrift at sea. It felt like she had found sce


    with him by her side.


    Although there were words that she would never tell him, being with him at this moment and standing


    by his side was enough for her.


    If she never agreed to Edbert’s condition, she, Edgar, and Gigi would always be trapped in an endless


    cycle of suffering. No one would be able to escape.


    The inevitable woulde eventually.


    Therefore, she might as well set down all hatred and grudges. She would be reckless this time and do


    something she missed and could not let go of.


    This was the only option she had for now.


    “I don’t care.”


    When Edgar spoke, the car had stopped before Royden Group’s entrance.


    Reporters were already blocking the door to thepany. No one knew how the reporters discovered


    Edgar and Jean wereing here.


    The reporters swarmed toward him as soon as Edgar got out of the car. Even security could not hold


    them back.


    “Mr. Royden!”


    “Mr. Royden, can you tell us the recent developments in your love life?”


    “Mr. Royden, why weren’t you on that ship? Have you ended things with Ms. Reece?”


    The reporters kept moving forward and pushing their microphones toward Edgar.


    Edgar nced at them coldly and ignored their questions. He turned around and helped Jean out of the


    car. They looked beautiful together as they stood side by side and were a perfect match for each other.


    Numerous camera lenses pointed at them, shing non-stop.


    “Mr. Royden, are you and Ms. Eyer together again?”


    “Does this mean Royden Group and Eyer Group will have more coborations?”


    All this while, Edgar held Jean’s hand tightly.


    He did not say anything, no matter what the reporters asked.


    Once the reporters were calmer, Edgar finally said, “Yes, we are back together.”


    He could hardly conceal the delight in his eyes as he pulled Jean into thepany.


    Jean did not have a chance to nce behind.


    She suddenly found herself in an elevator and received an irresistible kiss.


    Her face flushed, and she pushed Edgar’s shoulder. “We’re in thepany!”


    Edgar shook his head and kept looking at her face. “I’ve been dreaming of doing this for a long time. I


    really can’t hold back anymore.”


    He would not be so out of control if not for holding back his desires for so long.


    He had always thought Jean did not care for him.


    He thought he would never have another chance to be with her again.


    But today, when Jean appeared and flung herself into his embrace, Edgar had fallen for herpletely.


    He truly wished he could live like this for the rest of his life.


    The elevator door opened. The employees were all waiting outside the elevator to wee Edgar.


    However, they immediately looked down as soon as they saw Edgar and Jean’s intimate moment.


    “Good morning, Mr. Royden.”


    Edgar cleared his throat and said, “Meeting in five minutes.”


    Despite everyone watching, he still did not let go of Jean and pulled her into his office.


    Once the door closed and the curtains shut, the employees covered their mouths and screamed


    voicelessly.


    “Did you see that? Mr. Royden’s eyes were overflowing with affection!”


    “They must have gotten back together. I can’t believe it!”


    “What the heck happened? I saw in the news about the ship missing at sea. There was no news from


    Mr. Royden for a day and night. Could he have been with Jean all this while?”


    “Who’s Jean? That’s Mrs. Royden!”
