Chapter 106 Ex boyfriend
She has no idea how long she cried. Edwin Carter’s chest was soaked with her tears. He had seen Jane pretending to be strong. He never knew that she would cry like this, but he had no way to persuade her.
"Jane..." Edwin Carter reached out, touched her red and swollen eyes with his thumb and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Jane’s body twitched uncontrollably after crying. When Edwin Carter called her, she twitched even more.
Edwin Carter hugged her, patted her back gently, and comforted her like a crying child.
Jane raised her head from Edwin Carter’s arms, bit her lips, and tried to control her emotions, "I will take care of my mother’s affairs and I don’t want Jonathan Ronan to interfere."
Jonathan Ronan refused to let her see her mother. In fact, he wanted to threaten her and forced her on his condition if she wanted to see her mother. But Jonathan Ronan could not say it directly. So he put on a disgusting kind father’s face and scolded her.
Edwin Carter nodded, "The person we just met is director Richard Elf. He will deal with this matter. Jonathan Ronan will not be able to meddle in."
She rubbed her eyes and looked up at Edwin Carter, "Edwin, how do you have friends everywhere? And they’re all at such big positions."
Jane suddenly raised a question. Edwin Carter was slightly stunned, but he said, "In fact, it’s not that I know them or they know me, it’s all due to interests."
There are not many principles for a person like Richard Elf. For the sake of interests, he can work with Jonathan Ronan to prevent her from seeing her mother. But when Shengtian contacted Richard Elf and offered him more benefits, he didn’t hesitate to abandon Jonathan Ronan and worked for Shengtian.
After Edwin Carter said this, she understood that, in the end, as long as he has money, he can call anyone to handle his affairs wherever he goes. The point was how rich he was? Why does she always feel that she can’t see him completely?
Edwin Carter rubbed her head again, "Let’s go back and prepare everything well for mother."
"Thank you," she nodded. If he hadn’t been with her to help her, she wouldn’t have been able to see her mother and it would be impossible for her to handle these affairs.
"John Carter?"
Sophie’s surprised voice suddenly sounded behind them. Jane and Edwin Carter looked back at the same time and saw Sophie standing four or five steps behind them, and her eyes were stuck on Edwin Carter.
"What do you want to do, Sophie?" Jane instinctively stood in front of Edwin Carter and didn’t want her man coveted by others, especially by Sophie.
Sophie ignored Jane, stared at Edwin Carter for a while and said, "John Carter, is it really you?"
Edwin Carter nodded and replied coldly, "Yes, it’s me."
Hearing Edwin Carter’s answer, Jane’s body was slightly stiff. How did these two people know each other? What happened between them that she didn’t know?
"It’s really you." Sophie smiled and said, "I didn’t expect that you would marry my sister."
John Carter?
John Carter?
John Carter?
Jane repeated the name three times in her heart. She vaguely remembered some impressions of the name and then thought about it carefully. Jane remembered that when Sophie came back from the United States, she said to Jane that she had made a boyfriend, named John Carter.
Thinking of this, Jane looked up at Edwin Carter again and saw that his eyes were cold, as usual, with no change in expression. There were no explanations. She unconsciously pulled her hand out of his palm.
His hand was suddenly empty, Edwin Carter really disliked it. He slightly frowned and then stretched out his hand to hold Jane. Jane wanted to draw back her hand, but this time Edwin Carter held her tightly. She couldn’t move at all.
Edwin Carter held Jane and looked at Sophie again and said politely, "Miss Sophie, if you have nothing to do, my wife and I will leave now."
With that, Edwin Carter put his arm around Jane’s waist and forced her to leave without looking at her.
"Sophie, do you know that man?" Jonathan Ronan came out, looked at the back of Jane and Edwin Carter.
"I met him twice or thrice when I was studying in the United States," Sophie answered truthfully but deliberately didn’t mention that she had a relationship with him.
"What is his family background?" Jonathan Ronan was only concerned about these issues.
"He must be from an ordinary family. He was there on a scholarship." Sophie didn’t know much about John Carter. Although she has the identity of John Carter’s girlfriend they have only met twice after their relationship and he had never touched her.
And Sophie’s pursuit in life was Christopher Greyson, so she didn’t pay much attention to John Carter. She only knew that John Carter was the student of the year at Harvard University, and he won scholarships every year. It was said that he studied and completed his studies on scholarships.
They didn’t know that the Carter family came out of a famous family and had a way to educate their children, especially for the boys who took over the Shengtian’s Empire. When Edwin Carter was a kid, he relied on his ability to earn money to support himself. His school fees were all earned by himself.
"In that case, you don’t have to worry about him. You’d better pay more attention to Christopher Greyson." Hearing that Edwin Carter was from an ordinary family, Jonathan Ronan lost his interest.
Sophie nodded and said, "Okay."
...
Edwin Carter didn’t let Jane go until they got in the car. He observed her red eyes and white lips, and sighed helplessly, "Sit well, I’ll tell you everything."
Jane was not mean or short-tempered but Sophie has snatched her fiancé once. She cannot stay at ease after this matter. Now she came to know about Edwin Carter’s relationship with Sophie. She was very flustered and confused. She even had some fears and doubts.
She wanted to put away his hand and escaped for a while, but Edwin Carter did not give her this opportunity.
He took her hand and said seriously, "I’ve met her before and I’ve been with her."
"Been with her? What do you mean?" Jane didn’t want to talk to him but when she heard him saying that, she didn’t resist the curiosity.
"Actually, I had no idea of becoming her boyfriend and then being dumped by her." Edwin Carter explained.
