His Domineering Lover
Chapter 405

Since begging for mercy to the Lin family meeting a dead-end, Carmen was unwilling to give up. She went to the Xia family to do her last try after leaving the hospital. Edgar was in a daze. He felt complicated and was obsessed with Adela when he was on the way leaving.

He still remembered that Adela was not tough like this when they just got married, she was a gentle girl then.

She would learn to cook for Edgar, even though almost burnt the kitchen. When Edgar was off work and arrived home, Adela's cooking was already served.

Her eyes were shining with excitement. Maybe at this moment when Edgar used to be touched by her.

Her temper changed as Edgar went home late at night due to attending more and more business dinners.

Every time when Adela lost her temper, Edgar would coax her with sweet words even if he was exhausted.

Edgar thought that women were fools, as they would like to be coaxed by fake sweet words. When he recalled Adela's eyes, they woke him up.

"She was not a fool. I am the fool!" Edgar thought. Adela was not stupid to believe lies, she just believed in Edgar's determination to maintain their marriage.

Edgar was too arrogant to learn his wife's heart. Before they got married, he knew that a woman like Adela was not his type.

She was born carefree and had the best things since coming to the world. She didn't have to earn a living, so she could spend money and time only on having fun every day. Carmen was the woman whom Edgar would rather take care of.

She didn't have a proud family, and she was so poor that she must earn money by selling herself. However, Edgar was moved, and he was respectful of this girl's soul.

He fell in love with Carmen when they met for the first time.

Because Carmen made him touched with the weak yet strong first impression. Later, Edgar forgot the fact that he was married, and he had a wife who was trying hard to make changes for him.

He only noticed that Adela lost her temper more easily than before. He didn't know for what reason that Adela would do so.

In love, Adela was like a child who clumsily thought that making trouble would attract her husband's attention.

She liked to be coaxed. When her trick worked and Edgar coming to coax her, Adela would feel that she belonged to this man.

The more Adela tried to maintain their marriage in this way, the farther she pushed Edgar. Edgar also understood until today that the real poor person was not Carmen, but his wife!

Women were sensitive. Adela knew Edgar's every affair, but she chose to suppress her sadness. Edgar couldn't imagine that how often did Adela cry at night, and he just regretted being such a jerk! Holding the divorce agreement with Adela's signature, Edgar thought of the day when they registered for marriage.

Adela was in a floral dress, looked so pure and lovely. Her eyes were filled with gentleness, completely different from her tough image nowadays.

"So, I am your wife after I signed my name here. You shall treat me well." When she said this, her eyes were bright.

Edgar nodded and said, "I will be good to you, forever."

Then she signed her name quickly and waited for the worker to get their certificate done.

The whole process was simple and only took a few minutes. For Adela, it was as nervous as waiting for the final score.

"Isn't it ready yet? Did I fill in something wrong?"

"Don't worry, it won't be wrong."

When the certificate was finally ready, holding it in hand, Adela was happy like a child. Edgar was delightful to replace that the unruly rich lady had such a lovely side. "Edgar, I am officially your wife now. If you are sorry for me, let's see how I'll punish you." She looked as happy as if she had received a gift that she had dreamed of.

Edgar married Adela primarily because of her family power, not for loving her.

Adela was different. She married Edgar was for a strong love for him. She would like to spend the rest of her life with this man.

However, facing such a woman who had always endured his flaws, Edgar didn't sacrifice anything for her until today.

"Edgar, you are free." These simple words sounded in the air again, making Edgar's heart got much heavier.

She took arrogance as the only weapon toward Edgar's attitude, even in the divorce process. How he regretted as he would like Adela continued cursing him rather than set him free emotionlessly. This was human nature. He never cherished her affection when they were together, now she had left. He began to realize that Adela was whom he should treat well.

Tears were rolling in Edgar's eyes and then fell down on the divorce agreement. For so long, he recognized him as a jerk for the first time.

"Adela, Adela..." He held the agreement and unconsciously walked in the middle of the road. The sharp honking of cars sounded to his ears, but he seemed to have not heard it.

A harsh sound came from the friction of the rapid brake on the road, "Bang!" Edgar was knocked away for a few meters, and his body fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

The divorce agreement slowly fell from the sky and fell beside him.

The driver rushed down. "How are you? Are you okay?"

He saw tears slipping down from this Edgar's eyes, and he seemed to be muttering something

The driver leaned in to hear it clearly, it was a name being muttered, "Adela..."

Blood spilled from Edgar's body, and the driver quickly called a passerby to send him to the hospital nearby.

People in the ward also heard the brake, and Clara was scared to drop the apple from her hand when she was peeling it.

"Look at you, mice are bolder than you, aren't they?" Carl saw Clara was startled. His favorite thing was to tease her.

Clara quickly put down the knife. "No, it's not right. Judging from the sound, it was a sharp brake. I'm afraid something bad had happened." She hurriedly ran to the window to check. "Even if something bad has happened, it's none of your business." Carl didn't like to join in the fun. Even if the car exploded in front of him, it had nothing to do with him. "Something's wrong. It seems that there was a car accident, and someone was hit. No, why do I feel that person who got hit was your father? He was wearing that shirt!" "You're wrong, aren't you?" Although Carl was very disdainful of this adoptive father, Edgar was kind to him usually, so he couldn't help coming over to look. "Oh my god. It's really like him..." Carl left the ward in a hurry.

Adela's face turned even paler when she heard the news. While her father said angrily, "God woke up! This kind of animal should end up like this."

"Dad!" Adela glared at him as her hands were tightly holding the quilt. "He just left with Carmen, how could he have a car accident?" Adela couldn't figure it out.
