Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 74



Leanna’s POV

In the evening, I tossed and turned in the bed of the club, unable to fall asleep at all. I was worried about Cedric.

I don’t know if he has changed his environment and I’m not by his side. Can he sleep well.

Although I called Oarlan several times to make sure that Cedric was out of danger before going to bed, i couldn’t help worrying about him since he was not with me now.

Now that Edmund had known that Cedric was his son, he would treat him well.

But will he let us meet?

It seemed that I had to go to the company and have a talk with him tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I fell asleep. In my dream, I was thinking about how to persuade Edmund to let me stay with Cedric.

The next morning, I got up early. After washing up, I went to the King group directly without having breakfast.

Because I came too early and it was not working time at all. The building hadn’t opened yet, so I had to wait outside.

But I had been waiting for several hours. After work, I didn’t see Edmund at all.

I thought he went straight to the CEO office from the underground garage.

But when I entered, the security stopped me.

“Miss, you can’t come in.” The security guard was much colder this time.

“Why? I came here yesterday. Have you forgotten?”

“I didn’t forget. But you can’t go in. The superior has informed.”

“I want to see Edmund. Did he order me not to go up?” I don’t believe that Edmund will be so cruel that he doesn’t even want to see me now.

“You can’t see Mr. Edmund. First of all, he didn’t come to the company today. Second, even if he comes to the company, you can’t go in to see him.” The security guard stopped me mercilessly.

I know that if it was Edmund who gave the order, I wouldn’t be able to enter the gate today.

However, the security guard just said that Edmund hadn’t come to the company today. Was it because he was with Cedric in the hospital?

Thinking of this possibility, I immediately took out my phone and dialed Oarlan’s number.

“Hello, Oarlan. Are you in the company?” As soon as the phone was connected, I asked immediately.

“No. what can I do for you?”

“No… I’m not looking for you. I’m looking for Edmund… But I’m afraid he won’t answer my phone, so I didn’t dare to call him directly. Are you with him?”

“Yes, we are in the villa. The president has hired a professional medical team to escort Cedric. From now on, Cedric doesn’t need to stay in the hospital, but can directly live at home. There are nurses, nurses and doctors to monitor her 24 hours a day.”

“So Cedric is also in the villa now?” My eyes lit up at once.

“Yes, sir.”

“Thank you.” After that, I hung up the phone and ran to the roadside. I hailed a taxi and went straight to Edmund’s villa.

On the way to the villa, I saw everything on the street, as if it had been a lifetime.

The villa is in the center of the city, very close to the King group. I’m so familiar with this road.

In the past four years, the street didn’t change much. Everything looked the same as four years ago when I left.

But now my attitude is completely different from four years ago.

Eight minutes later, the driver stopped the car at the iron gate of the villa.

Getting out of the car and looking at the familiar door, my heart suddenly beat faster.

This house once housed all my sweetness and happiness, as well as all the beautiful memories about me and Edmund.

Now I’m finally back here. I wonder if this door can still open for me.

Raising my hand, I almost habitually pressed the open password. With a click, the iron door opened.

Four years had passed, but the password was still unchanged, which surprised me.

The moment the door opened, I suddenly realized that I had done something wrong.

Maybe I shouldn’t have opened the door myself. This house has nothing to do with me anymore. I came in without the owner’s permission. Is it a trespass?

But I can’t care less now. I want to see Cedric right away.

I walked into the yard, passed through the grass in front of the yard, and went straight to the house along the slate road.

When I walked to the door of the room, I saw Cedric sitting on the sofa, like a big old master, with two beautiful nurses around him, one on the left and the other on the right. With a special expression on his face, I knew that I was worried too much.

“Cedric.” Standing at the door open, I called her softly.

Cedric, who was lying on the sofa and enjoying the food, immediately sat up, turned his head and looked at the door.

When he found that I was standing at the door, a bright smile immediately appeared on his little face. He jumped off the sofa and rushed to the door. “Mommy, you are here…”

“Cedric, don’t run. Be careful…” the two nurses next to him immediately ran over with panic on their faces, as if they were afraid that he would fall.

When Cedric ran to me, I immediately bent down and held him in my arms. I looked around carefully to make sure that he was safe. Then I cupped his little face and kissed him again and again. “Honey, I haven’t seen you for the whole night. I miss you so much.”

“Mommy, I miss you too. I have a good news for you. I have found daddy.” Then he held my hand and walked into the house.

I know their father and son should have known each other yesterday. Seeing the excited look on Cedric’s face, I know that they get along well with each other.

Cedric pulled me into the living room and invited me to sit on the sofa. When he was about to climb on my legs and hug me, he saw Edmund coming downstairs elegantly.

Seeing Edmund, he waved his hand happily and said, “Daddy, Mommy is here.”

With a gloomy face, Edmund went downstairs and went straight to the sofa. He turned around and said to Oarlan who followed him downstairs, “who allowed her to come in? Kick her out!”

“Mr., are… Are you really going to drive Leanna away in front of Master?” Oarlan whispered.

Edmund ordered the two nurses, “you two take him to his room upstairs.”

After Cedric was taken away, Oarlan found an excuse and went out.

The hall was quiet for a moment. Edmund walked to the sofa and sat down.

“Tell me, what are you doing here?” He didn’t even bother to raise his eyes. He stared at the mobile phone in his hand and asked.

“Edmund, can you… Give me back the Cedric? I can’t live without him…” I know it’s impossible, but I still want to have a try at last. I always have a fluke in my heart. What if he agrees?

“”Give it back to you?” A sneer appeared on his face, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

“It’s not convenient for you to take him with you. If you are seen by others, how are you going to tell them the identity of Cedric? Are you going to say that he is your illegitimate child?” I caught his biggest weakness.

After all, he was a man of high status. For a man like him, the most taboo was to expose such a scandal.

“It doesn’t seem to be your concern.” He glanced at me.

“Okay. If you insist on letting Cedric stay, I’m okay with it. But can you please let me stay with Cedric? I have been taking care of him for the past three years. I know his physical condition better than the nurses you hired.” I know it’s impossible for Edmund to return the Cedric to him, so I have to put it aside.

Instead of agreeing to my request, he suddenly asked, “why did you come back?”

Hearing his voice, I opened my mouth, but didn’t know how to answer it.

“You are pregnant and can save Cedric. Why do you come back?” He continued to ask, and this time his voice was a little higher than before.

But I just lowered my head and didn’t make a sound.

All of a sudden, Edmund stood up, grabbed my wrist and pulled me directly in front of him. He said coldly, “why don’t you answer my question? Do you think you can just keep silent in front of me?”

I felt my wrist hurt by his grip, but I didn’t frown. I slowly raised my head and looked at him. “Maybe I really shouldn’t have come back. Cedric has been asking me for father. I just wanted to perfunctorily persuade him and bring him back to have a look. I didn’t want to disturb you and let you know about it…”

“Is this your answer?” Obviously, he is not satisfied with my answer.

“Yes, that’s the answer. I know I was wrong. Don’t worry. After I give birth to the baby, I will leave it to you. As for Cedric, he is already a grown-up. I hope we can respect his choice. Let him choose to go with me or stay with you, okay?” This is the best solution I can think of. I was pregnant to save Cedric. Now that it’s Edmund’s baby, I’m willing to leave it to him. As for Cedric, I can’t give up. In the past four years, if he hadn’t been with me, I wouldn’t have been so happy and active. I can’t lose Cedric, and I believe that Cedric can’t lose me either.

“You want to deal with the two kids so soon. It seems that I have underestimated your adaptability. You said you only want Cedric because you are afraid that it will be inconvenient for the baby to take it with you. You are really cruel. You have planned to separate the two kids from the very beginning.” He said coldly with irony in his eyes.

“It’s not that I want to separate them, but that you won’t give me any chance to have these two children. If I can be with them, I’m willing to pay any price for it. But… I know you won’t agree…” I explained anxiously.

“At any price?”

“Yes, at any cost.” I nodded heavily.

“Well, let me see how sincere you are.” As he spoke, he suddenly held my face and rudely kissed my lips.

I was taken aback by his sudden move and reflexively drew back my neck. But he didn’t allow me to escape.

“This is just the beginning. If you behave well, maybe I will consider letting you stay.” After a long kiss, he finally let go of me and said. Then he turned around and went upstairs.

I stood in the hall and watched him leave quietly. Somehow, I felt a little heartache.

What happened between me and him? This is not what I want. Absolutely not.

Because Edmund didn’t drive me away, but asked me to behave well in the end, which means that I can stay temporarily.

Although I felt awkward in front of Edmund, I’m satisfied that I can stay at the Cedric.

Edmund dismissed all the servants and the housekeeper that day.

From what he did, I also understood what he wanted me to do.

That afternoon, I began to work as a housekeeper and servant.

In the evening, in the villa, the “happy” family of three sat in the dining room beside the living room for dinner.

“Cedric, do you like this house?” Edmund kept in touch with his son while eating.

“Yes, it’s more beautiful than our home in Spain. Dad, is this your home?” Cedric nodded while eating the delicious food.

“This is your home from now on.” Edmund corrected him.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“But shouldn’t I stay in the hospital?” As Cedric spoke, he peeped at my expression, waiting for my answer.

“You don’t need to stay in the hospital. The doctor will examine you every day. You can stay at home from now on.” Said Edmund.

“Really? I really don’t need to stay in the hospital anymore? That’s great! But then I won’t be able to see that beautiful nurse. What a pity…” Cedric said with a look of regret.

“How about sending you to the hospital?” I teased him on purpose.

“No no, no, I don’t want to stay in the hospital…” he shook his head. Then he looked at Edmund curiously and asked, “does MOM also live here? Will we be a family from now on?”

“I… I will come and live here often.”

“That’s great! From now on, I will be the happiest child of my parents… That’s great! That’s great!” Cedric exclaimed, clapping his hands happily.

All of a sudden, I felt a little sad. I remembered what Edmund had said before. After my baby was born, I would leave. The happiness that Cedric longed for could only last for a few months.
