Chapter35
Edmund’s POV
“Are you in a good mood today?” I glanced at her undisguised smile and started the car.
“Edmund, guess who I met at the restaurant just now?” She asked mysteriously.
“Who?”
“A woman.” She said mysteriously.
“What?”
“If you can’t guess it, then I’ll give you a hint. It’s a woman related to you.”
Hearing this, I frowned slightly.
I really can’t think of any woman related to me here.
” can’t guess, Leanna…”
Hearing her name, I braked subconsciously.
“Ouch… I was scared to death. Edmund, why did you suddenly do that?” Myrna complained, patting her chest.
I realized that I was overreacting, so I calmed down a little. I stepped on the pedal again and explained expressionlessly, “there was a car nearby just now. I was afraid of bumping into it.”
Upon hearing this, Myrna heaved a long sigh and said, “I don’t know how these people got their driving licenses. They drove too carelessly. They scared me to death.”
“You just said that you met Leanna at the restaurant?” I brought the topic back and asked.
“Yes, I heard our department manager call her Miss Leanna.” Myrna said with a snicker, “when I saw her in your villa that day, I thought she was your lover. But today I know that she is your Butler.”
“Did she say that?”
Butler? She adapted to this identity very quickly.
“Yes, she said she was your housekeeper. Edmund, you have a good taste in choosing such a beautiful housekeeper. Tell me honestly, do you have any bad intentions?” Myrna teased.
“What? You care about my love life?”
She withdrew the smile on her face and said with guilt, “of course, if that Miss Leanna is really your lover, then you should marry her. I can’t let you sacrifice your love for me.”
Then she added, “fortunately, she is just your housekeeper. Hee hee…”
“Silly girl.” I smiled bitterly.
“Edmund, promise me that if you fall in love with someone in the future, you must tell me. At that time, we will divorce and I will make room for the person you love.” She looked at me sincerely.
I looked straight ahead and focused on driving, but didn’t respond.
“Of course. If I meet a boy I like, I will tell you. At that time, you can’t prevent me from falling in love with someone else.”
“Okay.” I said lightly.
Leanna’s POV
After all, Evelyn got herself drunk.
Not only her, but also all the men and women at the table were almost drunk.
As her “family”, I naturally have the responsibility to bring her home safely.
However, after getting drunk, Evelyn didn’t have the ability to stand on her own. She was not only extremely heavy, but also out of control and liked to move around.
I’ve tried my best to help her out of the box.
As a pregnant woman, I don’t dare to make a big move. The hotel waiter saw that I was tired and helped her to the door.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and several small stars could be seen faintly in the sky.
Neon lights were shining in the city, which was enough to hide the dim light of the stars.
“Come on, cheers. I’m not drunk. I can still drink.” With my help, Evelyn danced on the street.
“Evelyn, be quiet. Don’t get drunk.” I can’t say anything. If I had known that she can’t drink so much, I shouldn’t have let her drink so much.
Hearing what I said, Evelyn turned her head and squinted at me. With one hand on her mouth, she said, “Shh, don’t make any noise. I want to talk to the moon.”
I reached out to hail a taxi.
However, when several empty cars passed by, they drove away one after another, fearing that she would vomit. They didn’t seem to stop at all.
I held Evelyn’s arm with one hand. She leaned on half of my shoulder, which made me exhausted.
Just as I didn’t know what to do, a black car stopped in front of me.
As the car window rolled down, I saw Edmund’s cold face.
“Get in the car!” He said in an imperative tone.
I didn’t want to accept his help, so I refused, “no, I can hail a taxi myself.”
“Moon, can you hear me? I’ll tell you a secret. In fact, I’m the fairy in the sky…” Evelyn suddenly shouted at the sky.
She’s drunk like this, especially in front of Edmund. really want to dig a hole in the ground.
“Do you want your friend to shout at the moon like this for the whole night?” Edmund cast a cold glance at the drunken Evelyn and said in a low voice.
At this time, I found that a passer-by was watching Evelyn drinking crazily.
It’s not a good place to stay here for a long time. After weighing the pros and cons, I gritted my teeth, opened the door, put Evelyn into the car, and got on the car with her.
The door was closed, and the fresh air in the car was instantly filled with the smell of alcohol.
I’m pregnant, so I’m very sensitive to the strong smell. I feel a little disgusted at once and frowned instantly.
In the front row, Edmund reached out his hand and pressed a key to open the door. Then the panoramic sunroof above his head open automatically, and fresh air rushed into the car.
“I’m taking off. It’s taking off…” the cool autumn wind blew on her face, with a trace of coolness and comfort, but Evelyn beside me was still drunk.
I was speechless. I held her tightly with both hands to prevent her from standing up from the chair.
Evelyn’s apartment was more than 10 kilometers away from the downtown.
Although the night in City Y was not as terrible as that in the daytime, some roads were under construction and the road condition was not very good, so Edmund’s luxury car did not have a good advantage in speed.
It took them an hour to arrive at the destination.
Getting off the car, Edmund walked to the back door and opened it.
At this time, Evelyn had calmed down and fallen asleep after a fuss.
I can’t help a person who is completely unconscious, but I don’t want to ask Edmund for help. I have to grit my teeth and put one of Evelyn’s hands on my shoulder, trying to forcefully pull her out of the car.
Evelyn fell asleep and let me move her. But that’s why she was dragged out of the car and leaned towards me.
The gravity of her whole body hit me. I lost my balance and was pressed back by her.
Damn it!
I subconsciously reached out to protect my belly, but the next second, a warm big palm held my waist.
When I raised my head, Edmund’s expressionless handsome face appeared in front of me. Without waiting for me to struggle, his hand had already held me to stand firm. He loosened his grip on my waist and turned to hold the sleepy Evelyn.
“Which floor?” He looked up at me and asked.
“What?” I was stunned for a while, thinking of the scene that he just reached out to hold me.
If it weren’t for him, I would have been in danger.
“Let me walk you upstairs.” He said.
“No… No. we can do it ourselves.” I don’t want to accept his help at all.
“Are you sure?” He didn’t mean to ask for help. He just looked me up and down and asked in a calm and low voice.
I took a look at Evelyn, who was taller and heavier than me. I was sure, but I was sure that I couldn’t do it.
Lowering head, I didn’t say anything. It’s not good for me to hold on at this time.
Since he wanted to help, let him do it.
I just need to use some strength. He won’t let me pay it back.
“Four floors.” I told him the floor.
It was an old apartment without an elevator.
“Show me the way.” He gave an order and helped Evelyn walk into the stairs.
When I went upstairs four floors in one breath, I felt a little breathless. On the contrary, Edmund saw him carry a heavy weight alone without changing his expression and heart beat.
I took out the key and opened the door.
Edmund wanted to help her into the room, but he was stopped by me. “Mr. Edmund, please send her here. Thank you for your help tonight. The house is simple and crude. I won’t invite Mr. Edmund to have tea. Take care.”
Without looking at his face, I dragged Evelyn into the house, fell to the ground and closed the door with a bang.
The next morning, my alarm clock rang through the whole apartment.
Evelyn woke up from the hangover. Frowning, she rubbed her eyes and asked, “Leanna, why do you get up so early?”
“Get up quickly, or you will be late for work.” I made the bed and said.
Hearing that she was late for work, she didn’t dare to delay and got up quickly.
I went out and poured her a glass of warm water. “Drink some water first. You will feel better. You can’t drink too much. Don’t drink so much outside in the future.”
Evelyn took the water and took a sip. Suddenly, something occurred to her. She patted her head and said, “yes, I was drunk last night. How did we come back?”
“How did you get back?” I rolled my eyes at her. Thinking of last night, because of her, I had to accept Edmund’s help, I felt unhappy.
Seeing this, Evelyn knew that she had caused me trouble, so she put down the glass of water and massaged my shoulder while flattering, “Leanna, I’m sorry to make you tired. I’ll treat you to delicious food tonight and comfort you, okay?”
I pushed her hand away and sighed, “it doesn’t matter if I’m tired. But Evelyn, you really can’t drink so much in the future. Think about yourself. You’re a girl and you’ve drunk so much. What will you do if I’m not here?”
“Yes, yes, you’re right. I won’t get drunk again. Even if I want to get drunk, it must be under your supervision. Please forgive me this time, OK?” Evelyn said coquettishly.
I was amused by her. I shook my head, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.
“By the way, Leanna, why did you get up so early today? Aren’t pregnant people drowsy? Aren’t you sleepy?” She combed her hair and put her head into the bathroom.
“You have to go to work, so do I. I can’t help but feel sleepy.” After I brush my teeth and wash my face, I go back to my room to change my clothes.
“Leanna, are you really the butler of Mr. Edmund?”
“Okay.” Although I don’t want to.
“Oh my God, you haven’t told me such an important thing. It’s not interesting.”
“It’s just a job.”
“Who says it’s just a job? That’s Edmund. If I work for him as a housekeeper, I can see him every day. Facing such an excellent man every day, I can work so happily. Leanna, I envy you so much. Why didn’t I think of studying your major at that time? It’s so great to be a housekeeper for rich people.” Evelyn said enviously.
But I don’t have time to be with her anymore. Edmund has always been used to getting up early. If I can’t make it to the villa after he gets up, I’m afraid he will take the opportunity to taunt me again.
“I’ll go out first. Remember to lock the door when you leave later.” She walked to the door and changed her shoes. Before Evelyn, who was still changing her clothes, I told her in the direction of the room, opened the door and left quickly.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
