Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Constant Entanglement

“Jean Eyer, whose car is that?” Ben Ludwig asked with a furrowed brow, but he already had an answer in his heart.

“Edgar Royden.”

Jean Eyer had a slight headache, so she rolled down the window. She wanted to feel the breeze to wake her up a little.

“Oh.”

Ben Ludwig laughed coldly with a slight sneer. “In the past, I didn’t know that Edgar Royden had such a hateful personality.”

Jean Eyer looked over with raised brows. She rarely heard Ben Ludwig make such remarks. “Why is that?”

“He’s been following us since two blocks ago,” said Ben Ludwig emotionlessly as he stepped on the accelerator. With his strength as a racer on top of the performance of his car, he whooshed out of the junction easily.

But Edgar Royden’s car was still behind them, following them closely.

Jean Eyer was stunned.

Edgar Royden would speed just to chase after her?

“Is he crazy?”

Ben Ludwig wrinkled his brows. He reached out his hand, pointing at the sign to a hotel ahead, and said, “Jean Eyer, I know you don’t want to involve me, but I’ll help you out today.”

“Huh?”

Jean Eyer didn’t have time to react. She saw Ben Ludwig make a left turn into the underground parking lot of Lyons Hotel.

Ben Ludwig yanked the car door open and dragged Jean Eyer inside the hotel.

“Didn’t he want to follow us? He can continue to do so. Let’s see if he dares come in.” Ben Ludwig furrowed his brow and suddenly said in Jean Eyer’s ears, “Aren’t you curious to find out why he keeps following us?”

“Not really.”

“Come on, let’s head up.”

The corner of Ben Ludwig’s lips moved as he caught a glimpse of Edgar Royden’s car driving in. The elevator had just arrived, so he and Jean Eyer stepped in together.

In order to let Edgar Royden catch up, he didn’t press any buttons.

The elevator doors opened promptly. In an instant, he turned his back and stood in front of Jean Eyer.

With one hand, he held Jean Eyer’s head, and with the other he took the bag in her hands.

From the outside of the elevator, this action was especially intimate. It looked like Jean Eyer was in Ben Ludwig’s arms.

Jean Eyer raised her eyes slightly and saw Edgar Royden’s frosty eyes over Ben Ludwig’s shoulder.

She wrinkled her brow and shrunk backwards. She made eye contact with Ben Ludwig signaling him. You don’t have to do this.

But Ben Ludwig reached out to ruffle her hair. “We were rushing just now. We forgot to press the buttons.”

Edgar Royden took a step into the elevator with a frosty, heavy face.

Ben Ludwig turned to the side and said brazenly, “We meet again, Mr. Royden. I can’t believe we’re meeting three times in a day? I think Mr. Royden isn’t as busy as rumors say he is.”

Jean Eyer’s eyes grew a little colder.

Ding.

The elevator reached the hotel. Ben Ludwig dragged Jean Eyer towards the doors.

But her other wrist was pulled back the moment she moved.

She turned around in surprise to see the chilly face of Edgar Royden, but he directed his question to Ben Ludwig. “What are you going to do?”
