Chapter 360

An Inexplicable Man

Jean hadn’t come to her senses. Their food was served between them. It interrupted their
conversation. Jean took in the fragrance of the food. She wanted to ease the awkward air. “A friend
recommended me this dish. Try it.”

She wanted to be as casual as possible. But… why did the air get colder? She took a few bites and
realized that Edgar hadn’t moved his utensils at all. It was clear that he was displeased.

Jean felt like her food was tasteless if she ate alone. She thought about it left and right. Her head was
about to blow up. She still didn’t understand how she had offended him.

“Is the food not to your taste?” She mumbled. Edgar’s fingers tightened as he held on to the coffee cup.
He was about to take out the bracelet in his pocket when someone walked over.

The figure stopped next to Jean. A gentle yet deep voice said, “What a coincidence, Ms. Eyer.” Hugo
greeted Jean first before looking at Edgar and nodding slightly at him. “You’re here too, Mr. Royden.”

I’m here too? Edgar’s eyes were filled with frost. It was clear that he was expressing animosity. It was
as if Hugo hadn’t noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’m meeting someone upstairs. I’ll be going to my
seat.”

So he had deliberately come over just to greet Jean? The rage in Edgar’s heart started burning. Jean
was completely unaware. She assumed that his business affairs were unsatisfactory or that Royden
Group would be rivals with Rukh Group in the future.

After all, Edgar was a workaholic. He didn’t care about anything else other than work.

“Alright, Mr. Hugo.”



Hearing Jean call Hugo, Edgar lost his appetite.

They treat each other so specially.

Jean even got up to walk Hugo to the elevator. When she got back, Edgar had already picked up his
cell phone. His hand was in his pocket, and he stared straight at her.

His gaze made people very uncomfortable.

Jean’s brows furrowed. “Mr. Royden, if you feel…”

“What did you call me?”

“Huh?” He interrupted Jean before she could finish. Hearing what he had asked her, she replied, “Mr.
Royden?”

The man’s face turned cold.

“I have a meeting. I’m leaving now.”

He got up and left without turning back.

Jean felt as if an extremely cold wind had swept past her. She ground her teeth in anger. She shouldn’t
have been so humble. Now, she was abandoned and deserted there without good cause. Great.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have ordered so much.”

When would the man change his temperamental personality?

The rest of the dishes hadn’t been served. Jean got them to go and walked out of the restaurant alone
with a stack of takeout boxes.



Far away, at the side of the road, the man kept looking at her.

The weather was getting cold. Jean took a few steps and shivered. “I better get a cab.”

She booked a ride on a ridesharing app and stood waiting by the road.

Edgar sat in his car and spoke to Nathan on the phone. “Mm. She just came out alone.”

At the other end, Nathan was dumbfounded.

“Edgar, you’re jealous for no good reason. No matter how outstanding Hugo is, he’s divorced after all,
and he has a child. Even if Jean doesn’t choose you, she won’t be rushing to be a stepmother!”

Edgar’s eyes darkened.

If she really wanted to raise a child, Hugo was the best choice.

He still remembered what the doctor had told him back then when Jean was in the hospital. Due to the
injury caused by the miscarriage, she might not be able to give birth in her lifetime.

“Don’t pressure her too much. You know her personality as well. It’s easy for you to overdo things.”

Edgar watched as Jean got into her ride. He slowly put his cell phone down.

He reached his hand into his pocket and touched the box with the bracelet. There was a bitter smile
between his thin lips. He didn’t know what had happened to him tonight.

He went home alone late at night.

Susan had gone back to her hometown to deal with Mr. Jevin’s property and belongings. There was a
suppressive and icy feeling about the villa. Even if he turned on the lights, it didn’t feel like home. There
was a lonely and desolate air everywhere.



He dragged his feet as he walked forward. His mind was filled with Jean’s expression when she looked
at Hugo.

What on earth was happening to him?

Was he jealous? No. He knew full well how distant Jean and Hugo were. But when he thought about
how she might treat another man the way she used to treat him or how she might wait for another man,
Edgar couldn’t suppress the anger in his chest.

But…

Maybe there would be such a day not too far off in the future.

The man hung his head and opened a bottle of alcohol. He drank it all in one go.

Knock knock.

Someone was knocking at the door.

He made his way over, but he didn’t know why he planted downward when his hand had just touched
the door handle.

…

When Edgar woke up in the morning, he was in his bed. There was a bowl of warm oatmeal and
cookies on the bedside table. There was a familiar taste to it.

He cried out subconsciously, “Susan?”

“You’re up!” Nathan rushed in when he heard Edgar’s voice. Seeing that Edgar was fine, Nathan
breathed a sigh of relief. “Why did you drink so much at home? If it weren’t for…”



He swallowed what he wanted to say halfway through.

“How are you feeling? You can sleep for a while more.

Edgar pressed the bridge of his nose. “I’m fine.”

He still had to go on a business trip. He got up and went into the bathroom.

Nathan took the opportunity to go downstairs and left the villa quickly. He walked to the car, stopped in
the opposite corner, and knocked on the car window.

“He’s awake, and he should be alright. I’ll get the doctor to come and check on him later. Thanks for
yesterday.”

Jean had stayed up the whole night and was just about to leave.

She smiled bitterly. “That’s great. I’ll be leaving then.”

She had been thinking about it the previous night, and she still wanted to express her thanks to him, so
she took over the packed food to Royden Residence. She thought that Susan would be home and
wanted to take off after leaving the food there.

She never thought that Edgar would be the one to answer the door.

Before he could even take a good look at her, he had fainted.

Jean had no other way to deal with him alone, so she called Nathan over. She requested Nathan
earnestly not to tell Edgar that she had been there.

Nathan was Edgar’s best friend. Although he considered telling Edgar secretly, when he thought about
how Edgar had been impulsive and hurried, he hesitated.



Maybe Edgar really needed a good rest.

Not just physically but also emotionally.

Nathan watched Jean leave before turning around to see a figure in the doorway.

“When did you…”

Edgar’s face was pale. He asked in a low voice, “Who was that?”

Nathan could only tell him everything in exasperation.

He never imagined that Edgar would be even more disappointed. “Is she in a hurry to draw a line with
me? She doesn’t want to owe me anything.”

He just wanted to ease the relationship with her so they could give each other another chance. What
was so difficult about that?

This time, Nathan could only shake his head in frustration.

“I think you have to calm down. Some things can’t be solved within one or two days.”

Edgar hesitated for a long time and slowly said, “I can’t calm down.”
