Billionaire’s Mistress

Leanna’s pov

Eugene and I got out of the elevator and went straight to the parking lot.

Along the way, Eugene kept silent with a long face.

Seeing him like this, I dare not speak.

It was not until we got into the car and saw his face still gloomy that he explained slowly, “Eugene, it’s not what you see. Between Edmund and I…”

“You don’t need to explain to me what happened between you and him. Whatever you want to do is your freedom.” His voice was cold. He started the car and drove out of the garage.

I was so angry with him that I didn’t know what to say, so I kept silent for a longer time.

The atmosphere in the car became very depressing. I turned my head from time to time to glance at Eugene’s expression, only to find that he had been pursing his lips all the timeC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Are you angry?” I finally couldn’t stand this depressing atmosphere, so I asked.

He didn’t say anything, but his face was gloomy.

I know he is really angry.

But I don’t understand why he is angry.

“You know the relationship between me and Edmund. I came to see him today because…”

I was about to tell him why I came to Edmund’s office today, but when I opened my mouth, he suddenly turned the steering wheel, stepped hard on the brake, and the car stopped at the roadside.

Because of a sudden brake, my body leaned forward and almost hit the front windshield.

Still in a state of shock, I turned to look at Eugene, who was also looking at me, “I know your relationship with Edmund in the past. You don’t need to remind me. I won’t interfere with what you think or do in your daily life, because I have promised you that although you have married me, you are free. But when I consider for you, can you think about it in my position even a little bit?”

I stared at him blankly. It was the first time that he had been so angry in front of me.

All of a sudden, I feel that the warm boy in my heart in front of me has become very strange. He is even different from the gentle man I used to remember.

Eugene paused for half a second, He continued “As your nominal husband, you suddenly get so close to Edmund. If this matter is known by others, what will they think? Today in Edmund’s office, if the person who pushed the door in was not me, who else would you be? What would others think of me? I can do whatever you want to do, but I hope you can think about it when you do something How about my situation now? I’m a normal man. I also want to have a face, okay? ”

His words made me realize that I seemed to have made a big mistake.

Maybe he is right. I have never thought about it from his point of view.

Every time I think, I think from my own point of view, even from Edmund’s point of view.

However, Eugene is also a man. Now that I enjoy the convenience he brought to me as a husband, should I also seriously perform what a wife should do and say?

“I’m sorry, Eugene. I… I didn’t think too much.”

“You don’t have to apologize. I can understand that you don’t love me.” His voice was deep, with a strong sense of loss.

“No… No. It’s not that. I just…” I’m just used to thinking about Edmund first.

“Well, you don’t have to say that. I don’t blame you. It was my choice to let you be my wife, and I also know that you still have feelings for Edmund. But since you have decided to let him go, I hope you can really move forward and stop bothering him in the past, okay? Can you promise me?” He looked at me sincerely.

I looked at his] face for a long time and nodded slightly.

But, let go of Edmund? Can I do it?

I don’t know.

At least for the time being, I don’t think I can do it!

After driving me home at noon, Eugene went out. I felt that he was angry before, so I didn’t know how to tell him that he wanted to deal with Edmund by cooperating with Royston.

Then Eugene went out and didn’t come back until night.

After thinking for the whole afternoon, I decided to have a talk with Eugene.

I saw his car stop downstairs. When he went upstairs, i saw that he did not directly go back to his room.

I asked Petra and knew that he went to her study.

I went downstairs and made him a cup of tea. I brought it upstairs and gently knocked on the door of the study.

Eugene raised his head and frowned slightly when he saw me. When he saw the teacup in my hand, a gentle smile appeared on his face. “Haven’t you had a rest yet?”

“I’m waiting for you.” I walked to the desk and put the cup of tea in front of him. “I made it for you just now. You like to stay up late at night. Drinking it is good for your health.”

He opened the lid and saw a faint fragrance of medicine floating in the air. He took a deep breath and said with an ironed smile, “thank you. You don’t have to do it yourself. Just leave it to the servants in the future.”

“It’s just a cup of tea. It’s not troublesome. It doesn’t matter.” I said softly.

He smiled and put the cup to his mouth, took a sip and said, “it smells good.”

“Be careful. Don’t scald yourself. This is boiled water.”

He nodded and took another sip. Then he raised his eyebrows and asked, “anything else?”

“Eugene, i… I have something to tell you.” I hesitated for a while and said.

“What’s the matter?” As he blew the hot tea in the cup, the hot air formed a thick mist in front of him, hiding his eyes behind the mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Taking a deep breath, I asked seriously, “are you going to sell The King group ten percent of your shares to Royston?”

I sensed that Eugene’s expression changed. Then he asked, “where did you hear that?”

“I had lunch at the restaurant where you met Royston today. I wanted to say hello to you, but I heard your plan.” I’ll tell you the truth.

He seemed to remember something and looked at me coldly. “Is this the reason why you went to see Edmund at noon?”

Being stared at by his eyes made me feel a little scared. I have never seen Eugene show such an expression. I feel terrible.

“Yes, sir.” I nodded carefully.

“Then how did he react?” Eugene had put down the cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards me step by step.

“It doesn’t matter how he will react. Eugene, you can’t do that. He is your brother. Isn’t The King group your family’s property? How can you help an outsider to deal with your brother?” I sincerely persuaded her.

“You are wrong. The King group is Edmund’s, not mine.” His face darkened as he said this.

“Why isn’t it yours? Your surname is also King, right? Don’t you also have ten percent of the shares? You are The major shareholder of the King group.” I really don’t understand why Eugene did that.

He had no reason to do so no matter in terms of the descendants of The King family or the shareholders of the King group.

“Leanna, you are too naive. In the King family, do you think you can have everything just by your surname King?”

“What do you mean?” I don’t understand.

“Do you know where I got ten percent of the shares?”

I shook my head. How should I know that?

“My deceased grandmother left it to me. The King group was founded by my grandfather, but it took shape with the help of my grandmother and Mother’s family. As to father’s generation, because my grandfather valued uncle more, he directly cultivated him to be his successor. However, later, his marriage was in crisis, and he died in a car accident. Even so, my grandfather never considered letting father become his successor Instead, he focused on training Edmund. When grandma passed away, she held twenty-five percent of the shares. In the end, she divided them into three shares because she felt sorry for our family. Father and I ten percent, and my mother five percent. Do you know how Grandpa will react when he knows that grandma made this will? He said father cheated my grandmother’s shares and drove us out of the mansion. So you can see today that the relationship is not good. Grandpa doesn’t like us. ”

Eugene seemed to have kept these words in her heart for a long time.

I didn’t expect that the matter of the King family would be so complicated. old master is such an arbitrary and even partial person.

But even so, it couldn’t be the reason for him to deal with Edmund.

“Just because grandpa doesn’t like you, you let an evil outsider enter The King group?”

“Just don’t like it?” He sneered.

“Eugene, don’t be impulsive, okay? Calm down and think it over. After all, you are the child of the King family, you…” I still want to persuade him.

But before I could finish my words, Eugene interrupted me, “So what? The baby in your belly is not the King family’s, is it? If it weren’t for me, you would still be the loser. Leanna, please don’t be so merciful. Have you forgotten how Edmund betrayed you and married another woman? Or do you really love him so much that you don’t want him to be hurt even if he hurts you to such an extent?”

His words were like a hammer smashing into my heart.

Child, he is right. If it weren’t for him, my child would have been born in a dark identity. Perhaps, for a long time, I would have to live as an illegitimate child.

However, it wasn’t Edmund who had caused such a result.

If I had told Edmund about my pregnancy without hesitation that day, would the result be different?

When I knew that Myrna was going to be Edmund’s fiancee, I didn’t firmly believe that Edmund had feelings for me.

I also hesitated, and even suspected that he might only treat me as a playboy.

Even if Oarlan told me later that Edmund married Myrna just to help her keep The Fisher group, I still couldn’t believe it.

It’s because of my doubt and uncertainty, and my impulsive decision to marry Eugene that Edmund and I have come to this irreparable situation.

So rather than saying that it was Edmund who ruined my relationship with him, it was more accurate to say that the two of us made our relationship embark on a road of discord.

But it didn’t matter anymore. The current situation had been created, and people could not always live in the past.

I won’t tell Eugene what I’m thinking.

“I advise you not to do that, not because you are afraid that he will be hurt.” I looked at the metal buttons on his shirt.

“Aren’t you afraid that he will be hurt? Are you afraid that I will be hurt?” He looked at me as if he was listening to a joke.

I didn’t say anything.

A hint of coldness flashed across his handsome face. “Am I so inferior to him in your heart?”

“No, I didn’t mean that.” I shook my head in a hurry.

“If that’s not what you mean, then what do you mean? Who should I cooperate with and what I should do? It’s my business. Please respect my decision as I respect you.” Then he turned around and sat down at the desk. “It’s getting late. Go to bed.”

I know he doesn’t want to listen to me anymore.

I turned around and left the room in disappointment. I knew I couldn’t stop Eugene.
