Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 I Am Pregnant with Your Baby

Gigi widened her eyes furiously. She rushed down the stage in her wedding dress to beat Jean up. “Jean! You’re lying! It is me and Edgar…”

However, Ben grabbed her fist with one hand before she could finish speaking. He arched an eyebrow and looked at Edgar. “Mr. Royden, I find you rather pitiful. You don’t even know who you should protect.”

Then, he let go of Gigi disdainfully before holding Jean by her shoulder and leaving with her. Meanwhile, Edgar could not look away from Jean as he stood stunned on the stage.

Jean’s words kept resounding in his mind. Does this mean I have made a mistake? It wasn’t Gigi who saved me years ago, but…

He wanted to call out Jean’s name, but he felt a lump in his throat that was blocking him from speaking. “Edgar!”

On the other hand, Gigi was panicking. She took a step forward and tugged Edgar’s hand. “Edgar, you must not believe what she said. It was me who saved you all those years ago! I accidentally left this pendant with you. Have you forgotten?”

Edgar looked at Gigi’s beautiful face and kept feeling that something was wrong. His eyes turned even colder. At the same time, the guests debated amongst themselves.

“What is going on? Isn’t that pendant a token of love for the bride and groom? Why does it suddenly belong to Mr. Royden’s ex-wife?”

“Yes, how could he mistake something like this?”

Edgar looked stern as he swatted away her approaching hands. Gigi turned desperate when she saw that he was about to leave her and immediately flung herself at him.

“Edgar, please don’t go. I’m already two months pregnant! If you go after her, what about the baby and me?”

Gigi cried pitifully. Her words successfully stopped Edgar. “What did you say?”

Edgar turned around and stared at her with eyes sharp as an eagle. “I felt unwell a few days ago and went to the hospital for a checkup. Then, I found out that I was already two months into pregnancy.”

Gigi could not help but feel guilty under Edgar’s stern gaze. After all, the child was not… However, Gigi seemed well prepared and quickly brought out the pregnancy report she prepared earlier. “Have a look at it.”

Edgar took the report and glanced at it. His gaze paused on the words ‘ninth week of pregnancy’. Did I have sexual relations with her when I got drunk two months ago?

Edgar frowned deeply. It doesn’t matter whether she got pregnant then. This matter has to be dealt with today.

“Miles, end the wedding,” Edgar ordered a middle-aged man beside him.

“Yes, Mr. Royden. I’ll make the arrangements.”

Soon, all the guests were dismissed from the venue.

The remaining people gathered in a lounge.

Sam had a sullen expression. He turned to Edgar and said with hesitation, “Why did you suddenly cancel the wedding? Are you trying to make us a laughing stock among the guests?”

Miles stood behind Edgar and sensed that he was furious.

Thus, he cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Reece, please do not disturb Mr. Royden for now. The wedding has been canceled.”

Sam considered Royden Group’s financial power and felt conflicted for a while. Then, he forced himself to smile.

“Mr. Royden, what happened was an accident. Gigi didn’t mean it. It’s…”

Edgar sat on the couch and glanced at Sam indifferently. “Oh? Mr. Reece, are you saying ‘deception’ is a way of life?”

“That… That’s not true!” Edgar stammered but could not say anything else.

Gigi turned pale and collapsed onto the couch, not daring to look up.

“Still, Gigi is pregnant. Can’t you let go of the past?” Winnie added.

Upon hearing Winnie, Gigi’s eyes instantly brightened as if she had caught a lifeline.

“Edgar, I beg of you. Please have mercy on my baby and don’t abandon us. The baby is innocent. Please don’t let him be born fatherless.”

Edgar’s expression darkened further.

She knows how to play her cards.

Fatherless.

Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I still dream about my father’s horrible death.

I know how much it hurts to lose a father. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s why this child must not be born.” Edgar raised his hand. Miles immediately handed him a check.

Edgar then placed the check on the table and said, “Write any amount you wish on this check and get rid of the baby.”

His words instantly plunged the spacious lounge into silence.
