Chapter 484 Chapter 484 She smiled as she took a sip of coffee.

"Jean, we need to talk about this. We should've talked about it ages ago. Let's not run away from this conversation" Jean peered into her cup of coffee as she stirred it with a teaspoon.

"Do we have to? We are treading on thin ice, but since we're still safe, let's keep this civil for now" Edgar contemplated her calm demeanour and felt his courage melt away. He assumed that their relationship was improving.

Hence, her resistance was a surprise to him.

"This is for you — it's an ice cream cake!" Ellie suddenly appeared with a dessert in hand, but Edgar was not going to allow her to intrude upon them. "She does not eat things like that" Ellie spun towards Edgar and shuddered when she saw his piercing glare.She stumbled backward as tears fell like a waterfall and dashed back towards her father.

"She wantedto try sice cream! Why are you trying to scare a child?" Jean growled as she got up. "You're in no condition to eat things like that. Is it wrong forto care for you?" Edgar got up quickly when he realized that she was going to leave. Nôvelowns © this.

Jean turned to leave and realized that their disagreement was affecting the other customers as well.

Sof them could recognize Edgar and were whispering to each other. She hated the bated breaths and whispers behind her back whenever they were together.

"I don't appreciate your concern and help. It's a source of stress.It causesto wander between concern for you and immense dislike for you.Sometimes, I wonder if I'm just digging my own grave by hanging out with you.I was blessed to have you as a former husband.

However, my relationship with you is like a swamp — it sucksin and dragsdown into its depths.

Our relationship suffocates both of us, Edgar.

Edgar stared at her for a long while.

"Is someone else's daughter more important than I am to you?" Jean glared back at him with clenched fists, but she said nothing. She could see the smirk rising on his face. Skirting around him, she left the restaurant.

Edgar met up with Nathan that night at a bar and proceeded to drown his sorrows in alcohol. He did not answer any questions, but whenever a lady approached them, he would scream at them to make them leave.

Soon, all he could do was rest his head on a table in exhaustion.

"Should I hail you a cab or get you a booth, Mr.Knox?" The manager offered, knowing that he had to step in to stop Edgar before his attitude deterred any more patrons from visiting his establishment.

Nathan knew the manager's intentions and agreed.

However, before he could hoist Edgar up, the drunk man swatted his arm away.

Nathan stood back for a moment to observe Edgar.

He had never seen Edgar so dishevelled before — Edgar's eyes were bloodshot, and his shirt and jacket were a crumpled mess.

"Don't do this to yourself, Edgar.

There is a solution to everything.

Why would you pick the worst way to deal with things? Would you wantto get Jean to clook at you now?" Edgar suddenly looked up, and a lopsided smile tore through the drunken haze.

"She doesn't acknowledge me, you know: Nathan ran out of bullets.

"You should re-evaluate if that's true.She..." SeaR*ch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Edgar!" A lady in a white dress appeared.

The lady was playing the piano on the stage and was on the way back to the booth where she and her friends were seated but were distracted by Edgar and Nathan's disagreement.

When she cby, she was surprised to see someone she knew! Xena smiled at Edgar, her admiration and love evident in her eyes.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Nathan frowned.

"Do you know each other?" "Yes!" Xena nodded.

Edgar proceeded to throw up on the sofa.

Despite the mess, Xena was unperturbed. She reached into her purse for a packet of wet wipes and began to wipe Edgar's face.

"Did you drink too? I'll drop you off." She asked Nathan, who nodded quietly.

Although Xena helped Nathan to put Edgar into her car, her attention was fully on Edgar. She was the one who buckled him into his seat and bought him hangover treatment but did not speak to Nathan at all. Nathan watched as Xena took extra care of Edgar and scratched his head in concern.

"Don't blme for not helping you, bro." He whispered as he secretly took a photo of Xena.

"Do you have his address?" Nathan realized that there were beads of sweat framing her face when she asked for Edgar's address.

Taking care of Edgar must've taken a lot of energy.

"Didn't you say that you knew him?" Xena smiled warmly.

"Yes, we did, but we were both in the orphanage when we met. We were separated when I was adopted by my current foster parents" Edgar was sent to an orphanage after his parents' passing, and he did not like talking about it.

Nathan took a deep breath to brace himself as he approached Xena.

"How old are you? You look like you're still studying." Her smooth skin spelled youth.

"Yes, I'm in my third year of my or university course. I'll be e going on my internship soone "You should know that he is middle-aged and has gone through a divorce, right?" "Yes, I've heard about that before." Xena paused for a moment before continuing to mumble.

"But I also know that people make mistakes and bad choices, especially about marriages. Divorce is common now, and I think it's because their relationship was destined to end at that time.Isn't it tfor them to let each other go and live their lives to the fullest?" Nathan felt his chest tighten once again.

He had no rebuttal for Xena's response because he had witnessed how much friction there was between Jean and Edgar.

They were a thorn in the side towards each other! Perhaps ending the relationship now would be better in the long run.

Nathan clenched his fist before handing a bunch of car keys to her.
