Chapter 16 Edgar frowned . He had never said that he wanted to abandon her . He wondered how she got such an idea . What she had said puzzled him . Just as he was about to catch up with her and make it clear , someone grabbed his trouser leg from behind . Edgar , I know I was wrong . On the ground , Nancy raised her pitiful , tender face and explained gently , saying , Im just afraid … afraid that you will really fall in love with Sylvia during the three years Im away . Im afraid that you wont want me . Frowning , Edgar lowered his head and saw her slightly swollen cheeks . His eyes flickered slightly . He reached out to help her up , saying a little gently , I told you that I would marry you . Divorcing Sylvia is just a matter of time . Youre in too much of a hurry now . Nancy grabbed his sleeve and pouted , saying , Its all my fault , but I didnt mean to hurt anyone . I just used it the wrong way . Edgar , please forgive me ! Seeing that he didnt say anything else , she leaned weakly into his arms and tentatively revealed her fair shoulders . Narrowing his eyes , Edgar pushed her away subconsciously . Edgar ! Nancys eyes were redder , and she stared at him with resentment , wondering why he was so resistant to her now . She couldnt accept it . Sylvia had been intimate with him last night , but she couldnt even get close to him and sound him out . Grabbing her hand , Edgar narrowed his eyes indifferently and looked at her oddly . Nan , I never thought that you would use these methods and say those sarcastic words . You used to be very simple .

Edgar , for the sake of the fact that I saved you many years ago , please give me a chance to correct my mistake . At the mention of what had happened many years ago , Edgar thought of the determined look in her bright eyes . She was so petite , but she stood up to protect him . He decided that he would forget it . Gradually looking gentle , he said , Lets pretend that nothing happened . Dont do it again in the future . As if greatly relieved , Nancy was about to act like a spoiled child in front of him . Then she saw him hold out his palm in front of her . Give me the key . Her face stiffened . Just as she was about to defend herself , Edgar interrupted her and said , I know that it was Tim who gave you the key to the villa without permission . Take it out . Tim , his assistant , had worked for him for many years . Seeing that he had guessed correctly , Nancy had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the key . Dont come to this villa again . Ill arrange a new place for you as soon as possible . Youre tired today . Go back to the hotel and have a rest . Before she could say anything , Edgar asked the driver to send her back . After she left , Tim , who was standing in the garden , carefully walked into the living room and stood in front of Edgar , waiting to be lectured . Edgar looked over and said gravely , When it comes to my business , its not up to you to decide what to do . If theres a next time , youre out here . Edgar pulled his tie irritably and took a drag on his cigarette , but the look in Sylvias eyes before she left flashed across his mind . She had looked indifferent and dazzling . He thought , Could it be that she insisted on divorcing because she had been wrongly accused this time ? She even pretended to be tough and didnt ask for a penny .

The receptionist was stunned on the spot as she sized up Sylvia from head to toe . Although Sylvia was pretty , her clothes were not worth more than 30 dollars . In the receptionists opinion , it was shameless of her to ask to see the president ! Do you have an appointment ? Sylvia shook her head , saying , No. Hearing this , the receptionist almost laughed out loud . She then said , How dare you come to the Angle Group to make a scene without an appointment ?
