Chapter 1515


    Edward considered the question for a moment before he answered hesitantly, “There was at blind date


    arranged for me, but the other party was not interested in me.”


    “Why would they have no interest in you?” Nichs looked astonished and nced at Edward


    curiously. Edward scratched his head and replied. awkwardly, “When the other party heard that I was


    just an assistant, they felt that I had no future prospects. Therefore, they refused the marriage.”


    “I bet you probably misinformed them on purpose.” Nichs immediately exposed Edward’s secret


    maniption of the situation. Edwardughed in embarrassment. “If I told them that I was your


    assistant, then I won’t be able to see through their true character.”


    That was true. After all, it was important to marry a person for their good qualities. Nichs simply


    nodded in understanding and continued, “You’re not young anymore. What ns do you have for your


    future? Should I ask my wife to introduce you to one of her friends?”


    Upon hearing those words, Edward froze in surprise. The main reason was that he never expected his


    employer to suddenly pay attention to his personal affairs, much less his marriage.


    Fortunately, he was an intelligent man. It did not take long for him to guess the other party’s true


    intentions. “Did you hear about the incident between Mona and me?”


    “I only learned about it yesterday. I can’t believe how well you kept the secret. Tell me honestly. When


    did you develop feelings for Mona?” Nichs couldn’t resist teasing his subordinate.


    Feeling extremely awkward and embarrassed, Edward hurriedly exined himself. “It’s not what you’re


    thinking.” “If it’s not what I’m thinking, then what’s the truth?” Nichs persistently pressed. Edward fell


    silent, not knowing how to answer the question. The scene of that night shed. through his mind.


    That night, he brought Mona to a hotel nearby and helped to book a room for her. He originally nned


    to leave after making sure that she was settled in the hotel. Who could have known that she would


    suddenly go on a drunken rampage and prevent him from leaving by grabbing him? In fact, she even


    managed to bind his hands to the bed when he was distracted by her antics.


    When he recalled that scene, he quickly stopped the shbacks in his head. At the same time,


    Nichs could sense Edward’s embarrassment and did not pursue the matter further. “If you don’t want


    to talk about the incident, then forget it. How are the preparations for the wedding going?”

    Edward breathed a sigh of relief when his employer changed the subject of conversation. “The wedding


    preparations are almost done. In addition, the major families from abroad will also be sending their


    representatives for the asion. I’ve arranged for them to be amodated in the hotels under the


    company,” he reported truthfully.


    Nichs nodded and added a reminder. “I don’t want my wife to know about the wedding in advance.


    Also, prepare strict security detail to keep an eye on safety issues during the wedding day. I don’t want


    anything bad to happen on such an important asion.”


    “Understood.” Edward nodded to indicate his understanding. Afterward, he reported on various other


    work- rted matters before he left the office to continue his work. At the same time, in the hotel. Tessa


    nced at Mona and asked in concern, “Have you thought about what I told you yesterday?”


    “I have. You’re right. I should at least inform Edward about my pregnancy.” Mona only agreed because


    she knew that she had actually forced herself on Edward that night. Even if she did not want children of


    her own, it was only reasonable to inform him about the situation.


    Tessa nodded. Seeing that Mona had decided on the matter, she did not pursue the matter further and


    turned her concern to Mona’s health instead. “How are you feeling today? Do you still have severe


    pregnancy symptoms? Do you want to live with me instead?”


    “No need for that. I’m fine with the living arrangements here.” Mona shook her head and refused the


    offer. Then, she jokingly said, “I don’t want to visit your home just to see you and President Sawyer


    being lovey-dovey with each other.”


    Tessa burst outughing and stopped trying to persuade Mona otherwise. She spent the day with


    Mona, staying until it was time for her to pick Gregory up from school in the evening.


    Mona was the only person left in the room. Then, she picked up her phone lying beside her and dialed


    a number. “Mr. Jackson, we need to talk.”


    There was silence on the other side of the phone for some time, then Edward’s cold voice sounded.


    “Okay. I was just about to contact you, Miss Winters. I’ll pick you up from the hotel in ten minutes.”


    It turned out that Edward had realized that something was wrong after his meeting with Nichs in the


    morning. The more he thought about the matter, the more he realized that something was strange.


    Logically speaking, Nichs was not a nosy person. It was very strange for him to suddenly pay


    attention to Edward’s private affairs. In other words, there was most likely something behind the scenes


    that he did not know about. Therefore, Edward sent somebody to investigate Mona. But he did not


    expect to receive such shocking news from the investigation.
