Even after a long time after Susan left, Edward did not turn around.
It was not because he was reluctant to leave, but because he probably did not know how to face the current situation; it was an irreversible situation. However, he went back in the end.
Step by step, he walked into the living room, where Jeanne was sitting on the sofa, waiting for him.
It was already past midnight, so he thought that Jeanne would have gone back to her room after witnessing what just happened.
Sometimes, he even wanted to deceive himself and pretended that Jeanne did not know anything. Then, he would continue to deceive herself and live with Jeanne… for the rest of his life.
However, he could no longer deceive himself. He could not pretend that he did not know that Alex had come to look for her and that she knew nothing.
Jeanne was waiting for him to make things clear.
Edward walked to Jeanne's side, sat down, and asked, "Not asleep yet?"
