His Domineering Lover
Chapter 673

After Ruth left, Edgar made up with Adela.

They finally became a real couple, which made Carl really happy.

Occasionally, he would think of the woman who refused his money. What exactly did she want?

Perhaps he would never know the answer. Later, Edgar got out of the hospital and lived with Adela.

They became closer than they were when they got married. Adela no longer woke up in the middle of the night because she knew Edgar would never leave her again.

After a period of peace, Renee came to the Lin family. Adela was in her room practicing her flower arrangement.

Edgar was cooking in the kitchen. He knew he owed Adela much, so he just wanted to spend the rest of his life making up for it.

In the past few months, he had lost a lot of weight, and his beer belly was gone. He had recently started to work out, and his figure was much better than before. 'Adela, the food will be ready soon. You can wash your hands now." Edgar's voice came from the kitchen. Adela put down the flowers in her hand.

"Okay." When she came out of the bathroom, she heard the doorbell ringing. It was Christmas, so she gave the servants the day off.

On one hand, she wanted to spend more time with Edgar. On the other hand, she wanted to see if Edgar really meant it when he promised to take care of her.

Edgar was like a completely different person now. He treated her like she was the apple of his eye. Although he was no longer young, he was like a boy who had just fallen in love. The hole in Adela's heart was finally filled. Every woman's greatest wish should be to be doted on by the man she loved.

She suggested Edgar take a job at Lin's Group or start a new company with her, but he refused.

He said he used to ignore her because of work, and now he just wanted to spend every second of his life with her.

Also, he planned to take her to travel all over the world next spring. He remembered that they didn't have a honeymoon.

Adela was so happy that the haggard look on her face gradually disappeared. She looked much younger than before.

When she opened the door with a smile, she saw Renee. "What are you doing here?" Her voice was not harsh, for love had softened her.

"Auntie, I'm looking for... Uncle Edgar." Renee still couldn't call Edgar Dad. In addition, Adela was here.

"He's here. You wanna see him?"

"Yes. Can I go in?" Renee lowered her head.

"Adela, who is that?" Edgar's voice sounded. Renee quickly stepped forward.

Seeing Edgar, Renee was stunned. He looked several years younger and thinner than a few months ago. He was about Ben's size now.

He was wearing home clothes and an apron, like a stay-at-home-dad. He looked nothing like the man he used to be.

"Renee, what brings you here? What happened?" Renee hadn't visited him once when he was in the hospital, so he didn't think she was there to wish him a Merry Christmas. "I can't get through to you, so I came here." Renee felt a bit embarrassed.

"I have a new number. We are about to have dinner, do you want to join us?" Edgar glanced at Adela, who then nodded.

"Come in," Adela said.

"Well, thank you." Renee changed her shoes and came in. It was not the first time she had been here. When she was a child, she often came here for dinner.

But ever since she knew who her father was, she'd been embarrassed to be here. She carefully followed Adela to the living room.

"Take a seat. Here's some fruit. The dinner will be ready soon." Adela was much gentler and less hostile.

Renee nodded. She sat on the sofa uneasily. In her impression, Adela was the queen who bossed everyone around, including her husband.

But now Adela's relationship with Edgar seemed to have changed a lot. She even went into the kitchen.

"I'll help you."

"I'm good. Just be a princess and wait for the food." Edgar joked.

"I can help you serve the dishes." Adela opened the lid with a smile. "You made steamed egg custard?"

"Yeah, you like it, don't you? I made it from an online cookbook. I wonder if it tastes good."

Adela felt so warm. She reached out to take it. "Hiss, it's so hot." "Of course it's hot! I told you I'd handle it. Look at you red fingers!" Edgar nervously blew on her fingers. Renee saw that. They were like a loving couple now.

The food was served, and Renee sat down at the table. Though no one spoke, she could feel how sweet they were.

"Renee, what happened?" Edgar looked at her.

"Leo's gambling again. He owed the casino five million bucks, and they said if he didn't pay in three days, they'd sell him to a circus overseas.

"You know how poor we are now. I don't have so much money, so I came here.

"Can you please help him? He's my brother and your son. Mom would be sad if he was sold to a circus."

Originally, Renee did not want to say it in Adela's presence. It was just that she had no other choice.

"He's gambling again?" Edgar frowned. Although Leo was his son, they had nothing in common in character.

Edgar was a playboy, but he was good at his job and he never gambled. Leo and Renee, however, were ignorant and good-for-nothing.

"Yes, he gambled away all the money Mom left us.

We have nothing now." Edgar had thought that what happened last time would teach Leo a lesson. Obviously, he was wrong. "Renee, I can't help you."
