Edward Has Done His Best, He Had No Choice

Alex was unmoved by Jeanne's mockery. Instead, he said, "Edward has agreed."

Jeanne looked at him.

"You didn't hear wrong. He agreed," Alex said again.

Jeanne laughed. "Since he agreed, why did you come to tell me yourself? So that I can get along peacefully with her?"

"Well, I wouldn't take it that far. Before you leave, she can't possibly live with you."

"So, you're sending me away? Or are you just going to kill me?"

Alex said, "I did think of killing you directly."

Jeanne clenched her fists tightly.

"But Edward told me to wait for you to deliver his daughter," Alex said, enunciating each word. "In other words, your value will end the moment you give birth to your daughter."

"Edward knows that?" Jeanne asked.

"This is the longest he can fight for you. You shouldn't blame him."

"Is that so?" Jeanne sneered.

Alex meant that he was allowing her to live a little longer, so she should be grateful.
