Billionaire’s Mistress

With my patience, Evelyn’s mood has finally improved a little.

At dusk, I remembered that there was a little ancestor waiting for me at home.

After repeatedly telling the nursing worker to take good care of Evelyn, I reluctantly separated from Evelyn and went home.

It took me half an hour to get back to the apartment and open the door with the key. I thought Cedric would welcome me warmly as soon as I got home.

But when I opened the door and went in, I found that there was no one at home.

The light was still off.

“It’s so strange. Where have they been?” Out of curiosity, I took out my phone and called Annie.

“Miss Leanna, what can I do for you?” Annie asked on the other end of the line.

“Annie, where have you been with Cedric? Why is there no one at home?”.

“Didn’t Mr. Edmund call you? He took Cedric out this afternoon and asked me and Anna to take half a day off.”

“Okay, I’ll call him.”

“Yes. Miss Leanna, if you need anything, call me again.”

“It doesn’t matter. You can have a good rest today and come to the villa tomorrow.” Then I hung up the phone.

Then I called Edmund.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, but it was not Edmund, but Oarlan.

“Hello, Leanna…” Oarlan’s voice was loud on the other end of the line.

“Oarlan, why did you answer the phone? Where is Edmund? Is he next to you with Cedric?”

“Yes, The CEO is playing with Cedric. Are you coming over?”

” When are you going to come back?”

” he won’t want to go back until the park is closed.”

“No, he can’t go to bed too late. I’ll be right there.” I know that once my son goes crazy, he doesn’t want to sleep at all. Moreover, Edmund spoiled him so much. He couldn’t let father and son be happy as long as they could only obey him.

After hanging up the phone, I went out in a hurry.

After fifty minutes’ drive, I arrived. According to the location provided by Oarlan, I found them. They were sitting on the chairs of the restaurant. Cedric was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes. he was talking to Edmund endlessly.

I walked over and picked up Cedric from Edmund’s arms, letting him lie on my shoulder. “Cedric, Mommy is here. Are you tired? Lie on mommy and have a rest first.”

Cedric was so excited to see me that he couldn’t fall asleep anymore. He pointed at a high project ahead and said, “Mommy, let’s play that.”

I turned around and looked at the direction he pointed. It was a drop tower.

I have a slight acrophobia. I don’t dare. But I don’t want Cedric to think that I’m a coward, so I have to be perfunctory. “It’s very late today. Have you forgotten what the doctor said? You must go to bed before eight o’clock every day. Let’s play this again next time, okay?”

“No, I want to play now. Mommy, play with me.”

“Cedric, listen to me.” I had no choice but to look at him seriously.

The next second, he pursed his lips, turned around and reached out his hand to Edmund. “Daddy…”

I’m speechless. This little guy is really good at finding a backer.

?”

Edmund immediately stood up and held him in his arms. He gave me a dissatisfied look and said, “since Cedric wants to play, you can play with him. You don’t need to sleep for a while.”

“I…” I really wanted to cry but had no tears. “Forget it. If you want him to play, then take him. I’ll wait for you here.”

“No, I want to go with you.” Cedric insisted.

When I heard him, I almost gritted my teeth and looked at him. “You brat, don’t make trouble for me!”

“Father…” Cedric tried to hide in Edmund’s arms again.

“Are you afraid of that?” Edmund saw through me at a glance.

My fear was exposed ruthlessly by him, so I certainly didn’t want to admit it. I raised my head and said, “who said that? How could I not dare to play? It’s just a jump off the building, isn’t it? I’m not afraid.”

“Since you are not afraid, then go and have a try.”

“I… that project is too dangerous. Cedric is still so young. We can’t play it.” I rolled my eyes and found a good excuse.

“No, Cedric. Cedric is watching Mommy play.” Cedric said at once.

I’m completely speechless. So after all this time, is this little boy trying to play tricks on me?

“Since you don’t want to play, let’s go home. I’m tired after working all day.” So I said immediately.

“Don’t worry. We can leave after you finish this project.” Edmund seemed to have made up his mind to watch me jump off the building, so he held Cedric in his arms and didn’t stand up.

I know. It seems that the father and son have made up their mind to tease me today. They turned to look at Oarlan and found that he was holding back his laughter. I finally understand that these three people are waiting to laugh at me.

Why don’t they go back directly at night? Why do they ask me to come so far.

“Mommy, hurry up. Don’t ask us to wait too long…” Cedric urged as he saw that mommy didn’t move.

I gritted my teeth and looked at the machine up and down. Listening to the scream beside my ears, my legs went limp.

“Do you really want to see me play this?” I looked nervous and asked them.

The three of them didn’t say anything and nodded at me.

I took a deep breath and compromised. “Well, since you want to see it, I’ll go and play it.”

Then she raised her hand to touch her belly and said, “baby, it’s time to test you…”

Then I walked towards the entrance of the plane.

I walked steadily without any fear.

I thought they were just bluffing, so they aske.

But I found that I had already reached the entrance, and no one came to stop me.

Is it possible that Edmund really wants me to sit on this?

After all, there were so many people who were afraid of heights. There was nothing to be ashamed of.

Thinking of this, I turned around and was about to say that I didn’t want to play anymore. But before I could say anything, I saw a familiar tall figure standing in front of me. The next second, a big hand grabbed my hand and took me to the ferris wheel aside.

“For what?” I asked in a daze.

Edmund didn’t say anything. He just pulled me forward.

I looked back at the direction of the restaurant and found that Oarlan and Cedric were gone.

“Where is Cedric?” I care more about where my son is, so I asked again.

“Home… Where are we going now?” I asked curiously.

“You’ll know when we get there.” He took me to the foot of the ferris wheel, lined up and went up.

Whenwe entered the cabin, I was still confused. I looked at him blankly and asked, “why… Why did you bring me here?”

“Don’t women like this kind of place?” He sat beside me and looked at the scenery outside.

His answer made my heart skip a beat. So he took me to the ferris wheel to make me happy?

This is the first time he did such a romantic thing to please me.

After all, it was difficult for a mature and reserved man like Edmund to seduce a girl.

“Did… Oarlan tell you?” I don’t believe that he would come up with such a thing himself.

“You don’t like it?”

“No…” I shook my head immediately. It’s rare that he has put a lot of thoughts into it. How could I not like it.

“Then just sit quietly and enjoy the scenery.” As he spoke, his expression became serious again.

It was already half past eight in the evening, the time for the fireworks show.

With the castle as the background, accompanied by beautiful music, a burst of gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The ferris wheel was the best place to watch the fireworks. At this time, the cabin just rose into the air. Looking at the beautiful scene in front of me, I completely forgot that I was afraid of heights. Even if I was no longer a pink girl, I was still shocked by this fairy tale like beautiful scene. I could not help but imagine myself to be the only princess in the world.

Turning around, I wanted to see if Edmund was also amazed by the beautiful scene, but he was looking at me.

Colorful fireworks reflected in his dark eyes, shining with brilliant light.

When the four eyes met, I felt my heart beat faster all of a sudden, like a deer living in a mess.

I lowered my head slightly and didn’t dare to look into his eyes again.

“Why… Why are you looking at me?”

He didn’t say anything. He reached out and held me in his arms, with his chin against my head.

Leaning against his chest, I looked at the beautiful scenery. For a moment, I felt as if I had returned to four years ago, when I had just been with him, the sweet and a bit of inexperienced ambiguity feeling.

“Edmund…” I raised my head slowly. After hesitating for a while, I finally plucked up the courage to ask, “have you… Loved me?”

Although I know I shouldn’t have asked such a question, and I even began to regret it as soon as I asked it. But I still want to hear the answer from him. This is the answer I wanted to know since the moment I decided to be with him.

His face was hidden in the shadow against the light. I couldn’t see his expression and hear his answer.

But somehow, when I couldn’t get his answer, I suddenly felt a little relieved. Maybe the answer was not that important.

That was how Edmund was. He would rather keep silent than lie. This was the real him.

“Okay, I know.” I closed her eyes heavily and fell into silence with him.

For a moment, the cabin became very quiet. Except for the music coming from outside, no other sounds could be heard.

I didn’t say a word when I got off the ferris wheel. Silently, I followed him out of and went home.

Cedric had already fallen asleep. Oarlan was reading a book in the living room.

When he saw us come in, he stood up, stretched himself and looked at us inquisitively.

“I’m a little tired. I’m going back to my room. Enjoy yourselves.” After saying that, I turned around and walked into the bedroom.

Edmund’s pov

“Leanna doesn’t look happy. Boss, did you do something to her?”

“You seem to care about her very much.” I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.

“Of course…” he blurted out, and then quickly explained, “I’m just caring about you.”

“Should I give you an extra salary?” I glanced at him.

“You don’t have to pay me. This is my extra free service.”

I snorted, “go back now.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I’ll leave right now.” He said and was about to leave.

I followed him out of the apartment.

“Mr. President, won’t you stay here tonight?” He asked curiously.

“What’s the name of Leanna’s sister?” I directly ignored his question and suddenly asked.

“Hannah, that’s a tough woman with a bad temper.”

“Where is she now?”

“He seems to be in Africa. I don’t know which country he is from. Mr. President, why do you suddenly ask about him?” Oarlan looked at me in confusion.

“I want to send Leanna abroad. I need a reliable person to take care of her and her son.”

“Why do you want to send her away all of a sudden? Did someone find her?” Oarlan became nervous.

“No.” I shook my head and made another important decision.

“Then why did you do that?”

“Maybe it’s time for me to marry her.”

“Marriage? You mean you want to marry her?” When I heard the news, his face immediately showed a happy expression, but a few seconds later, his face darkened again, “But if you really marry her, I’m afraid that lady will be the first one to stand out and object. They have always thought that Leanna’s baby was Second master’s. If it goes on like this, Leanna will become a public target and she will definitely collapse at that time.”.

“That’s why I sent her abroad.” I can protect her from physical harm, but the gossip of those people will only hurt her more than sharp swords.

I know Leanna well, so I know she can’t stand it.

“No wonder she doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today. It turns out that you are going to send her abroad.” Oarlan took it for granted.

“No, I haven’t mentioned it to her yet.”

“Then why did she…”

“You don’t need to know. Tomorrow you will contact Hannah and see if she has any intention of returning to England or Spain.” I didn’t answer Oarlan’s question.
