Chapter 480

Chapter 480

Jean could feel his back stiffen for an instant.She gently leaned her forehead against his back, quietly comforting Edgar this way.

Then, she gradually closed her eyes and said softly, “You can talk to me about it.”

Since Edgar had no one to confide in, Jean was willing to listen to him voicing all the sadness he buried in his heart.

Edgar’s gaze softened.He looked down and held her cold fingers.

“It’s all right.Let me prepare the food first.I’m famished.The food in the detention center was not to my taste” He spoke with a gentle tone.

Then, he turned around and caressed Jean’s hair.

“Wait for me outside.”

Jean looked into his eyes earnestly for a while.She wanted to confirm if he was indeed all right.

Ten minutes later, the delectable smell of food wafted out from the kitchen.

Jean began to feel hungry upon smelling it.

Even though she had eaten many fruits and drank milk, her stomach still desired more food.She watched Edgar setting up the table and began to salivate.

Edgar noticed her watching and could not resist smiling.

“Come here.” Jean walked quickly to the table.

“Let’s eat.I will arrange for Susan to come here and take care of you soon.I will likely be busy, so…You should take care of your health.”

After saying this, he looked down and began to eat.He ate in a hurry.His usual elegant demeanor was nowhere to be found.

It seemed he was famished.

Jean held her fork and pursed her lips.He must have known, but why didn’t he ask me anything? She was not worried about him refusing to take responsibility.

Instead, she could not figure out what he thought.She kept feeling their lives would get even more entangled with each other.

“Are you done eating?”

Edgar noticed she did not touch the food for some time and reached for her plate.

Their fingers accidentally touched.

Jean shrank back in panic.

“I’ll eat a little more.”

She took the plate and rushed into the kitchen.She lingered there for a long time before coming out with more food on her plate.

But Edgar was still seated at the table in deep thought.He did not move even as Jean looked at him.

She said softly, “Are you not going to leave?”

Edgar’s eyes flickered with thoughts as he stood up.

“I’ll be leaving now.”

However, the lights in the house suddenly went off as he reached for his coat.

Moonlight streamed in from the windows.

Jean said worriedly, “I must have forgotten to pay the electricity bills’ She took her phone to make a call, but Edgar suddenly held her fingers and said, “Follow me.”

Soon, someone knocked on the door.

“Good evening.We are technicians from the utility department.We accidentally damaged your house’s electrical circuits while repairing nearby cables”

“Is anyone home?”

The people outside kept banging on the door urgently.It seemed as if they wanted to knock it down.

Edgar glanced at Jean.

He placed his hand on her shoulder protectively and whispered into her ear, “If they were staff from the utility department, they would have called the house owner first.”

Jean gritted her teeth.

Her expression darkened.

It turned out that Edbert did not fall for her act and was sure that she would still be in contact with Edgar.

That was why he sent people to the Eyer Residence.

“What should we do now?”

Jean whispered worriedly.

If Edgar were not here, I would have opened the door and…

“Let’s wait and see.Don’t be scared.”

He patted Jean’s shoulder gently.

The gesture calmed her anxiety.

Jean leaned her head to the side and frowned, waiting to hear movements from outside.She did not realize she was leaning closer to Edgar.

Jean’s unique fragrance filled Edgar’s nostrils.

Despite the danger outside, Edgar could not help but be mesmerized as she stood close to him.

“Jean, stay here and don’t go anywhere.”

He suddenly pushed her into the space under the staircase.It was completely dark.

There was not even a trace of moonlight in this space.

Meanwhile, the people outside circled the ground floor and shone their torchlights into the windows.

“Where are you going?”

Jean’s hand’s trembled as she gripped his shirt tightly.

Edgar smirked.

“They are checking whether there’s someone at home.If they think no one’s here, they might come in.I need to find a way to deal with them” Jean kept shaking her head.

Suddenly, someone shouted outside.

“There’s an open winder upstairs.”

Jean widened her eyes in panic.

“It’s the bedroom.I forgot to close the window”

Edgar frowned slightly, but he comforted her gently, “It’s all right.”

Jean saw the lights from the torchlights gradually moving away toward the other side of the house, prompting her to panic even more.

She sorely regretted not closing the window.

“Jean, look at me? Edgar whispered.

“Do you trust me?”

Jean came back to her senses and nodded earnestly.

Edgar smiled at her.

“Wait for me here”

Then, he went into the kitchen.

Jean sat alone in the space below the staircase and covered her mouth so that she would not make any noise.

She leaned against the wall, feeling the coldness of the wall seep into her skin.She had no idea what was happening outside.

Soon, she heard footsteps upstairs.

The intruders did not say anything, but judging from the footsteps, she believed there were at least five to six people.

What do they want? Jean’s heartbeat quickened.Her heart thumped hard in her chest.

As the intruders were about to head downstairs, one of them received a call.

Then, he said, “Let’s leave’ Jean could see one of the intruders’ shadows on the wall two meters from her.

However, the man turned around and left through the upstairs window with his gang.

Shortly after they left, the power was restored throughout the house, and all the lights came back on.

When Edgar returned to Jean, she was still hiding under the staircase and remained utterly still.

He bent down and offered her his hand.

“Don’t be scared.Everything is fine now.Jean stared at him for some time before she could speak.

“My legs are numb”

Edgar immediately stepped in and hugged her waist to carry her.

However, Jean protested, “Put me down!”

Before Edgar could react, Jean had already jumped down.

Edgar furrowed his brow.

“Your back is still injured.”

Jean looked down and sighed.

“Did you go out to negotiate with Edbert?”

Jean suspected this was what he did.

“Yes” Edgar answered.

Edgar went to get the blanket on the couch and covered her body with it.He pushed back the stray strands on her forehead. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“I will go to the company tomorrow and sort everything out.Then, you won’t have to worry so much anymore”

Jean was the person he cared for the most in the world.He would stop at nothing to ensure Jean’s safety.He would not hesitate even if he had to give up everything.
