He always felt that with Fourth Master Swan’s temper, he could either tell Jeanne to scram or make her die.
Edward would definitely not try to persuade Jeanne to stay.
“If you haven’t tried, how do you know that feelings can’t be developed?” Edward said calmly.
No other emotions could be seen on his calm face.
“Fourth Master, don’t you have any pride?” Jeanne tore through his disguise.
“I don’t need to have any pride in front of you, Ms. Lawrence.”
“Didn’t I make myself clear just now? Feelings need to be built on the basis of mutual affection…”
“I only need you for a week.”
Jeanne was stunned.
“If you still insist on leaving after a week, Ms. Lawrence, I’ll let you go.”
Jeanne frowned.
She did not agree immediately.
The condition was very tempting.
However…
How could Jeanne guarantee that he would not go back on his word?
“Nox,” Edward called out to the onlooker at the side.
Nox was a little overwhelmed by the sudden summon. He quickly walked over.
“I’ll use Nox as collateral.” Edward was straightforward.
‘What?!’
Nox’s eyes were about to pop out!
Jeanne was also… dumbfounded.
“Miles is one of yours?” Edward asked.
“Yes.”
“He’s now in my custody. I’ll let him out and let him detain Nox. If I go back on my word a week later, you can exchange Nox with me,” Edward said clearly.
Nox was about to explode. “Fourth Master Swan, am I not your bro?”
‘Am I not your bro who risks his life for you?!’
“He’s the most important and most suitable person I can think of.” Edward ignored Nox and spoke directly to Jeanne.
Nox’s heart moved, and he could not help but smile.
‘The most important person?!
‘What did Fourth Master Swan say? He said that I’m the most important person around him.
‘He suddenly became so corny
‘Well!
‘I’ve always been a loyal person. As a bro, I would do anything!’
Jeanne was a little quiet.
She knew very well that this was Fourth Master Swan’s bottom line. She could not negotiate any more terms with him.
Jeanne said, “Okay.”
She agreed to it.
Not to mention a week.
Even if it was a month, a year, ten years…
What could not be changed could not be changed.
“Teddy.” Fourth Master Swan’s voice was a little loud.
Actually, he had noticed that Teddy had been secretly watching them from the guardrail on the second floor.
