1249 Nox’s Accusation Against Jeanne
“I’m not sleepy!” Nox said in exasperation, “I only participated in the burial. How can I be sleepy?”
Just thinking about it made him angry.
Initially, he wanted to go to the mourning hall immediately after Old Master Swan’s death, but Edward and Finn stopped him. They said he was physically unwell and that he could only come today when Old Master Swan was buried. It was as if they were no longer brothers. He had been heartlessly abandoned and would not accept the fact that the two of them were worried about him.
“Why don’t you come with me to the back garden for a walk?”
“Why do I want to... Alright!” Nox lost his temper and agreed.
He had nothing to do anyway.
“Do you need me to push your wheelchair?”
“I can do it myself!” Nox was very agitated. “I can run in a month. I don’t need your help.”
Jeanne was speechless.
With that, the two of them walked together in the back garden.
Jeanne was a little slow, but Nox did not seem very agile with the wheelchair either.
To keep his reputation, he basically did not go out much. Most of the time, he stayed at home to recuperate and did not use the wheelchair much, so it was a little strenuous for him at the moment.
Jeanne thought for a moment before deciding to push Nox in his wheelchair.
Nox wanted to refuse, but he chose to remain silent. Jeanne probably knew that he was putting on a show.
“Nox, thank you,” Jeanne suddenly said as she pushed the wheelchair.
Nox was startled.
The last thing he was good at was being emotional, and Jeanne’s sudden words made him feel uneasy.
He said nonchalantly, “I didn’t do it for you. You don’t have to thank me.”
“But I’m the one who benefited in the end. Shouldn’t I thank you?”
“In that case, treat Edward better,” Nox said bluntly.
Jeanne pursed her lips. It seemed like everyone knew that she did not treat Edward well.
She smiled.
“Don’t always make Edward do things for you or whatever you want just because Edward loves you! Edward’s father is dead now, and this is the lowest point of his life. You have to take care of him! I heard from Finn that Edward hasn’t slept for even a second since Old Master Swan passed away. Think about it, he hadn’t slept for five days! It’s already a blessing that he isn’t dead! I’m really worried now that Edward will die. I heard that the healthier a person looks, and the less likely he or she is sick, the higher the chance of him or her dying suddenly!”
Jeanne was at a loss for words.
“Also, regarding what happened between Edward and Susan, I don’t even need to think to know that you must hate Edward to death and that you must’ve given him a hard time! Don’t think you’re the one who’s hurt in this matter. The one who’s hurt the most is Edward. He clearly loves you so much, but he still has to pretend to be in love with Susan. Although I don’t know why Alex insists on having Susan marry Edward — don’t ask me how I know it was Alex who did it — anyone with a discerning eye can see that Edward doesn’t love anyone but you. Since he has to be in a relationship with another woman, it must be because he’s been forced to do it because he has no choice. Not only do you not understand that, but you also blame him for something he has no choice in. Have you ever thought about what he’s suffering?!” Nox was indignant.
Jeanne suddenly regretted taking Nox out for a walk. All she wanted was to thank Nox, but she did not expect him to be so eloquent.
“Not only does Edward have to bear the pressure of having to do so, but he has to deceive himself and hide his feelings to date other women. He might even have to be intimate with other women. By the way, I don’t think Edward has told you that other than you, he hasn’t slept with any other women, has he? ” Nox turned around and looked at Jeanne.
Edward had never mentioned it. However, she had guessed that with Edward’s cold personality, he had never been with any other woman. f reewebnovel.com
“I still don’t understand how you climbed into Edward’s bed just like that. You have no idea how many women tried to pursue Edward all those years ago or how many of them used all sorts of methods but could not even touch his finger. You were just an 18-year-old girl. How did you sleep with Edward?”
In fact, she was also curious as to how she got into Edward’s bed and how she had been loved by him for so many years.
“Think about it. Edward is such a clean person, and he kept his innocence for you. Yet now, he has to be intimate with another woman. How much pain do you think he’s in? How much do you think he has to endure?” The more Nox spoke, the more agitated he became. At that moment, he looked as if he really felt sorry for Edward. “This is only one part of it. On the other hand, he still feels guilty toward you because he has no choice but to be with another woman. Under that kind of guilt, he had to do so many things that weren’t of his own volition…”
