Chapter 488
Nathan didn''t react, "Why don''t you decide to give up?"
He had be ustomed to seeing Edgar at his darkest moments after Jean''s divorce.He stayed at
home every day since he didn''t want to meet people or talk about business.
Nathan experienced moments when he thought about ending his life.
Now that there is finally room for turning around, why...
"This may be yourst chance.If you let her go like this, you won''t be able to exin it clearly in the
future."
At this point, Nathan also gave himself some credit.
Initially, I intended to utilize Xena in this situation to energize Jean.
Let them both confront their unexpected, self-defeating earnestness.
Nathan believed that the scenario was not good just because the two of them had just met, not to
mention the fact that Jean still had no heartfelt affection for Edgar.
Sitting on the sofa, Edgar said softly, "I think that letting go of that preupation would be beneficial for
both of us.I''ll prepare for everything about her pregnancy and wait for her to let me know.I shall not be
exempt from any of my duties and obligations as the child''s father."
"You...
Nathan didn''t know what to say, so he sighed helplessly, "Okay, then why is Xena here again today?"
When Edgar mentioned this, his expression changed.
"It''s not all about you."
Edgar pointed to the insted lunch box at the door, "She has to send me back, and she''s obsessed
with delivering meals."
Nathan clicked his tongue.
"You really don''t know her?"
Edgar shook his head, pressing the center of his eyebrows, "No"
Nathan hesitated for a while before speaking slowly, "She told me that you two met at the Yorktown
Orphanage.Do you remember now?"

The man on the sofa immediately stared in disbelief as soon as the words were said.
"What did you say?"
Jean turned on her phone''s screen as she returned from Royden''s residence.She watched the
voluminous news and pictures, all of which featured Xena and Edgar.
Although Xena''s face was not photographed, Jean was sure that the girl in the photo was her.
"Must be nice to be young."
She gave her phone''s screen a distracted nce.
That flood of unwee images entered her thoughts along with the memories.She had doubts and
fears since she dimly recalled that Edgar had passion when he first saw her.She assumed that he
didn''t really like her now.
But at that moment, she had no idea how much the man despised himself.
The car drove forward slowly.
Jean phoned Rachel, "Tell the mediapany, for the time being, not to release news about Edgar"
She wants to avoid suspicion.
Rachel was furious, "Jean, don''t forgive that man.He''s gone too far.How could he keep a girl at home
overnight?! I''m so sorry.He''s a heinous man."
Jean burst outughing.
"Jean, what are youughing at? I have studied the news carefully.The two of them are involved..."
Rachel was counting the information while Jean was holding the phone and listening.
"As mentioned, that Xena has a crush on Edgar"
Jean looked out the window, "Well, I can see that too"
Rachel was stunned, "What do you mean by that? Have you all met? No way! Have you been bullied?
I''lle over."
"It''s alright.I''ve met her and saw right through that girl.She has a crush"
She had such an attitude earlier when she stared at the man with such anticipation.
They were all only refined by hatred afterward.
I suppose it''s incredibly difficult for her to regard Edgar with such admiration.
Even if there is still love between them, it has long since been lost.
You can never look the other in the eye and act as if nothing urred.
There are always cracks in a mended mirror.
"Jean, what do you mean? Are you not angry at all?"
Hearing Jean''s tone, Rachel felt bored.
"Why should I prevent others from liking him?"
Jean touched her lower abdomen.
Although it was still t, there was life growing in her.
But this child is hers.
Edgar doesn''t need to be responsible.
Jean quickly received Rachel''s response when she got home.
Although the media firm actively repressed any rumors concerning Edgar, she learned from sources
inside thepany that some businessmen were furiously spreading this information and harming
Edgar''s reputation.
"Jean, we have helped them a lot by withdrawing the news.I''ve heard that Royden''s PR team has been
putting in extra hourstely, but they''ve run into roadblocks everywhere.Royden''s face wasn''t shown
much by those reporters.The news I suppose, is to me.Something happened to Mr.Royden, so all..."
That''s typical.
The winner takes all in the financial world, and a lot may change in an instant.
"I know.Just wait and see."
That night, Jean received a call from a private hospital, "Miss Eyer, do you recall that you were
previously examined at our hospital? I hope you cane in for a thorough check since based on the
current results, you should be a few months in: Jean hesitated for a while.
"Okay, thank you."
She knows almost nothing about this hospital.
The nurse continued, "Then we''ll have you booked for a nine o''clock appointment.See you tomorrow."
"Okay, Jean affirmed. She asked Rachel to do a background check on the hospital.
It had a fantastic reputation and was clean.
Is she overthinking things? Early the next morning.
Jean arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
Coincidentally, a familiar person appeared.
It was Xena from yesterday.
Xena was simrly surprised.
"Miss Eyer, you..."
She stared at the words ‘Obstetrics and Gynecology’ behind Jean.
She was in a daze and clouded with disbelief.
"It''s just a routine inspection."
Jean smiled faintly.She walked past her and went inside.
A nurse immediately came up to greet her, "Miss Eyer, yes? I made an appointment with you
yesterday.Pleasee inside!"
Xena''s ssmate said curiously, "Do you know her? She sure has an attitude!"
The girl made a lopsided smile.
"Yeah, she''s temperamental.But I don''t me her, being divorced and all."
Her female ssmate followed behind and muttered, "Who would even divorce her? She''s too pretty
for that."
