Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 198 Your Wife Is Me

Jessica was flustered. She knew the look on Edward's face meant that he was aggravated. She knew

that it would be difficult for her to reach her purpose now. She felt the need to break the ice.

"Edward, I propose a toast to you. This is the Hennessy, your favorite drink." Jessica smiled in

embarrassment and raised her trembling hand to propose a toast. But the glass of wine accidentally

spilled because of Edward's sudden movement. The wine spilled over Edward, he cursed bitterly.

"Shit! Damn! What are you doing?" Edward placed his phone on the table and hurriedly retrieved some

tissues to wipe his clothes. He frowned with disgust.

"Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Why don't you go to the washroom to clean it up?" said Jessica. She

looked at the phone kept on the table by Edward. A cunning smile flashed over her face. Her trick

worked. She noticed that Edward had been staring at his phone all the while. So she wondered what

was up with his phone.

Edward frowned and walked away. As soon as he disappeared from Jessica's sight, she quickly picked

up his phone and unlocked the screen. A graceful woman with a calm demeanor appeared on the

screen. She looked gorgeous and divine, a rare beauty indeed.

The woman in the photo wore a long white dress. Her hair was radiantly black and thick, like a waterfall

pouring down her shoulders. Her crystal eyes revealed her superior and domineering manner, yet not

making people feel offended. 'She looks special. No wonder Edward is attracted to her. But she is

nobody. I will wait and see how long their relationship will last.' Jessica thought.

She sneered with ridicule and flipped through his phone records. When she saw that the most

frequently dialed number was saved as 'Darling wife', she tightened her grip on the phone and

wondered, 'When did the handsome and flirtatious Edward begin to call someone 'Darling wife'? I'm

surprised to see such sweet words of endearment on his phone.'

She smiled slyly and saved the number in her phone. She bit her lip and decided to put Edward's

phone back on the table. A part of her heart was falling apart now. She patted on her stomach and

resumed her spirit. 'No matter what happened, I am determined to win him back. For my unborn child, I

won't cave in.' She thought in her heart.

"Coco, don't be so rude when you speak to him. He detests hostile behavior." Jessica walked to Coco

and sat down beside her. She didn't want to see her efforts go wasted. She had already made such a

fuss about it.

"Jessica, look at his attitude towards you. Are you still determined to marry him?" said Coco, while

pouting. She had always behaved like an arrogant queen. She wasn't inclined to undermine herself to

flatter anyone, even if it was an extraordinary man like Edward. She would never bow down.

"Yes! I believe Edward is momentarily spellbound by that woman. He will finally come back to me. I

know he still loves me. I have been with him for so long. Coco, you must help me." Jessica held Coco's

tender hands, pleading.

"But what if he has actually changed his mind this time? He had never spoken about leaving you

before. But it seems that he is not interested in you anymore." said Coco. She could see from Edward's

attitude towards Jessica that he had no interest in her. There was just annoyance on his face. Would it

be possible for Jessica to win him back now? Coco wondered. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"No, he won't. I am bearing his child now," said Jessica. She felt a little flustered at Coco's words.

Because she knew Edward had no feelings for her anymore. That's why she had gone all out to

achieve her goals.

"Okay. Fine. I will try my best to help you. But I can't assure you that it will work. You have seen it just

now, that Edward is not easy to persuade." said Coco. Thinking of Edward's sullen face moments ago,

Coco felt a shiver go down her spine. He had always given her the impression of a gentleman in public.

She didn't expect that he would seem so dreadful today.

"Don't worry. You just stick to your part and I will take care of the rest," said Jessica. 'Huh! Darling wife?

Edward, your wife is me, not that woman who comes from nowhere. That's the truth.' Jessica thought.

In Jessica's eyes, Daisy was the kind of woman who posed no threat to her. If Daisy came from an

affluent family, Jessica would have known about her. But she had no idea who the woman she saw in

Edward's phone was. So she assumed she would certainly beat her in the aspect of background.

When Edward came back, his face was still as cold as ice. He felt talking further with Coco was

needless. The only reason he agreed to do this was that she had refused to talk to anyone except for

Edward and was determined to meet him. Otherwise, he would not waste his time talking rubbish with

her.

Edward felt helpless about this situation. It seemed that he was constantly pestered by women. First, it

was Belinda and now Coco. They all insisted that they must meet with him in person.

"Miss Coco. I think there's nothing more to talk about. If you need anything else, you can go to Mr. Rain

or Mr. Aaron. I won't accept any threat from you and I certainly won't help you play this tedious game."

Edward didn't want to sit down. He grabbed his phone from the table and looked frigidly at their delicate

faces concealed with heavy makeup. He felt Daisy's natural look with no makeup was more attractive

to him.

"Huh! You are in such a rush! You are a business tycoon. Are you afraid of me- a little woman?" said

Coco. She was trying her best to retain Edward in order to help Jessica.

"Huh! To tell you the truth, I really don't fear you. I just don't want to deal with you." Edward sneered.

He ignored her provocation and turned around to leave. To his surprise, Jessica suddenly held his

waist from behind.

"Edward, don't go! We can find a solution. Can we discuss this please?" said Jessica. She didn't expect

that Edward would leave so hurriedly, so she held him desperately.

"Get your hand off me. We have nothing to discuss." Edward said in a cold voice. If she had not been

pregnant, he would fling her off, rather than let her hold him.
