1164 The War Has Started: Igniting the War
He was telling him not to doubt him. So he kept his cool and continued smoking.
William was about to say sothing when Edward’s eyes moved.
William instantly changed his composure. “Next ti, I’ll give you an antique from Sozin. You can go back and show it to the old man. If he likes it, it’s his.”
“Let thank you on behalf of my dad, then.”
“Don’t ntion it.” William was warm and polite.
At this mont, Stacey appeared by William’s side, intimately holding onto his arm. “William, what are you talking about with Edward? You’ve been out for such a long ti.”
“Fourth Master asked about an antique, saying that Old Master Swan would like it. I’m helping him get ahold of it.”
“Sorry to have to trouble you, William.” Edward expressed his gratitude.
“It’s no trouble at all.” William smiled.
He extinguished his cigarette and said, “I’ll let you know when I have news on them.”
“Alright.”
“Let’s go in, then.”
When the few returned to the tea room, it just so happened that a ga of chess had ended.
As it was getting late, everyone said their goodbyes and returned to their own quarters.
Just as Edward and Jeanne were about to enter their bedroom, Jeanne rushed into the bathroom and headed for the toilet face down. She could not help but vomit.
Edward hurriedly followed behind her. “What’s wrong?”
Jeanne endured the discomfort in her stomach and vomited a few more tis.
“Are you okay?” Edward gently patted her back.
Jeanne suddenly paused.
After she vomited, she gargled so cold water to wash her mouth. However, the mont she opened her mouth, she could not help but feel nauseated and retched a few tis.
A long ti passed before she cald down. She turned to look at Edward, who had a worried expression on his face.
She said, “Normal morning sickness.”
Edward frowned. He did not seem to believe her.
“I can’t sll smoke,” Jeanne explained.
Edward was stunned for a second. He lowered his head and sniffed his body.
There was almost no sll on him. He had been smoking in the open air and had only one cigarette.
“During pregnancy, my nose becos especially sensitive,” Jeanne said helplessly.
“I’ll take a shower imdiately,” Edward said hurriedly.
Jeanne smiled and said, “Alright. You go first.”
“Why don’t we shower together?” Edward raised his eyebrows.
Jeanne refused. “What if you can’t control yourself? It’s not good for the baby.”
Edward’s smile was obvious. Under such circumstances, he could laugh.
“Jeannie.” Edward suddenly grabbed her just as she was leaving.
Jeanne was stunned.
Edward pressed a light kiss against hers.
“Thank you,” he said.
“For what?” Jeanne was speechless.
“The product of our love,” Edward said bluntly.
Jeanne did not know what to say. He suddenly felt a little mushy.
“Thank you for staying.” Edward was very clear and affectionate.
Was this mont suitable for a confession? The great Fourth Master Swan was too unprincipled. He was so easily blinded by love.
“Hurry and take a shower.” Jeanne nudged Edward lightly.
Edward let go of her, not forgetting to remind her, “Be careful when you walk.”
When had she ever been careless?
Jeanne walked out of the bathroom with a smile. However, under Mason’s gaze, the corner of her mouth stiffened. It made her think of Kingsley and Lucy.
It seed she had also been blinded by love.
…
Half a month passed.
No one had ever thought that this period would be so peaceful. It was unrealistically calm.
After such a long ti, the Duncans had not taken any action. Logically speaking, it was unlikely. However, nothing happened.
The Duncans did not seem to be threatened because of Edward.
Jeanne was currently in Warren’s study, and the two were playing chess in the study.
During this period, Jeanne had been playing chess with Warren almost every day. Sotis, Justin would accompany him. After all, Chester was busy with work and rarely had ti to spare.
Jeanne made her next move.
...
“You’re getting better,” Warren complinted.
“It’s because you taught well.”
Warren looked at the ga, contemplating. After so thought, he said casually, “It’s been peaceful for far too long.”
Jeanne nodded. “I do feel that sothing is amiss.”
“It ans that the Duncans were not affected by Edward.”
“That’s why I’m suspicious.” Jeanne looked at Warren’s next move and said bluntly, “Maybe a Duncan is among us.”
Warren’s hand that was playing chess paused.
“How else could they be so calm and not react if they did not already know about Edward’s relationship with ?” Jeanne speculated.
