Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter42



Eugene’s pov

Leanna has been in the bathroom for a long time. I was worried about her, so I went to find her.

When I arrived at the door of the bathroom, I saw the door was opened from inside. Leanna walked out of the bathroom with a trembling face. Her makeup was completely gone and her face was as pale as paper.

“Leanna, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Seeing this, I immediately stepped forward and reached out to hold her. He glanced at the corner of her dress and found that it was torn open.

When she saw me, her legs became weak and she fell directly into my arms. She grabbed my arms tightly and begged, “please take me out of here. Please.”

I held her in my arms, took off my coat and tied it around her waist to cover her torn dress. Then I lifted her up horizontally and walked to the other end of the corridor.

I left the side door of the mansion with her in my arms. Except for the few servants of the King family, no one noticed our departure.

After leaving the mansion and getting on the car, Leanna sat on the passenger seat, still trembling.

Seeing the fear on her face, I asked worriedly, “Leanna, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

She suddenly burst into tears.

I opened my mouth to comfort her, but I didn’t know where to start. In the end, I just patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

She cried for a long time. It was not until she exhausted all her strength that she gradually calmed down. “I’m sorry… I just can’t help it for a while…”

“The baby in your belly is Edmund’s, isn’t it?” I looked straight ahead and asked in a low voice.

Her expression froze, her nose twitched, and tears were about to fall down again.

I turned to look at her and promised, “don’t worry. Now you are my wife. I will protect you like a husband protecting his wife. I won’t let you suffer any harm.”

“Why? Why are you so good to me?”

With a faint smile, I pushed her messy hair away and said gently, “because you are my woman now. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?”

Leanna’s POV

His answer was so natural and righteous.

For a moment, I felt as if I and Eugene were a normal couple, and Eugene’s care for me really came from the love of a husband.

Seeing that I was absent-minded, he frowned and asked, “why don’t you believe me?”

I shook my head and wiped the tears on my face. “Don’t you really mind the matter between me and your brother?”

“Why should I mind? He is him, I am me.” He said frankly, “what’s more, I’m different from him. At least, I can’t abandon him all the time.”

He had never given up!

This word can’t be more accurate to describe the relationship between Edmund and me.

“Thank you, Eugene.” I don’t know how to repay him except saying thank you.

Fortunately, I met him. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to continue my life.

……

That night, Eugene took me back to the Silver Garden of The King family.

It was said that The Silver Garden was the dowry of the King family, which was also the granny of Eugene, when she married into King family.

Eugene’s grandmother loved her two sons Rudolf very much when she was alive, so before she died, she gave her favorite The Silver Garden to her two sons.

Rudolf, on the other hand, was cunning and selfish, and had never been liked by old master. After Granny’s death, he drove his family out of the mansion and moved to The Silver Garden.

When Eugene took me back home, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf were still at the dinner party at the mansion and didn’t go home.

So after greeting the housekeeper, I was taken directly to Eugene’s bedroom.

Different from the simple style of Edmund’s bedroom, Eugene’s bedroom looked full of literature.

Although it was a bedroom, there was a bookshelf on the whole wall, on which there were all kinds of literature in various languages, which was amazing.

On one side of the bedroom was the balcony, and even on the balcony, there were bookshelves. Beside the bookshelf, there were some delicate potted plants, and in the center of the balcony was a deck chair.

I can imagine the scene that Eugene made a pot of tea and lay here reading on a sunny spring and autumn afternoon.

“Are you satisfied with your new room?” He pulled me to a chair and asked.

“My new room? What about you?” I looked at him strangely.

“Me? Of course I want to sleep here.” He looked at me with a smile.

“How about I sleep in the guest room?” It was too embarrassing and awkward for a man and a woman to stay in the same room.

But as soon as I proposed, he said lazily, “on our wedding night, my wife left her husband alone in the wedding room and went to sleep in the guest room. If my parents know this, guess what will happen?”

I forgot that I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him this afternoon to get our marriage license. Legally, we are a legal couple now.

“Then make a bed on the ground. I’ll sleep on it.” I thought for a while and said.

“You are pregnant. If I let you sleep on the ground, will I abuse a pregnant woman?”

She couldn’t let him sleep on the ground?

After all, he is the real owner of this room. Besides, he and I pretended to be a couple not for one or two days. I can’t let him sleep on the floor for a long time. Then I will be a shameless woman.

“Well, I won’t make fun of you anymore. Just sleep on this big bed.” Then he stood up and walked to the bookshelf.

“What about you?” As soon as I asked, he picked up a remote control from the bookshelf and gently pressed the direction of the wall. He saw the originally made bookshelf move aside, and there was a room inside.

“I like reading here in winter. It’s quiet, bright and warm.” He walked in and turned to me.

I didn’t expect that there would be another world in this bedroom. When I walked to the door and stretched my head in, I saw the Japanese tatami structure, with a soft cashmere cushion on it. There was a small red wood table on the tatami, on which there was a small and exquisite orchid.

A pile of pillows were placed at one end of the tatami. I can imagine how warm and secure it is to stay in such a warm place and read my favorite books in a snowy winter.

“Can you rest assured now? ” Then he pushed me to the door of the bathroom and said, “now, you go inside to take a shower and then have a rest.”

I nodded, but there is one question that makes me hard to answer.

I didn’t bring any clothes with me. What should I wear to sleep after taking a shower?

Eugene seemed to have seen through my doubts. She pulled me to one of the wardrobe doors and opened it. “Here are all your clothes. I don’t know your specific size, so I bought you a few sets of the smallest. I don’t know if you like them or not. You can try them on first. I’ll take you to the street to buy your favorite tomorrow.”

Looking at the beautiful clothes hanging inside, I was stunned.

“When did you prepare these?”

“The afternoon you called me.” He smiled and patted me on the shoulder. “Well, go to take a shower. There are towels in the bathroom. They are clean and disinfected. You can rest assured to use them.”

It seems that he has considered everything for me. I looked at him gratefully, took a pair of pajamas and went to the bathroom.

Edmund’s POV

It was late at night when the guests left.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

When I walked in from outside, Myrna immediately ran to me, grabbed my arm and pointed at the big bed. “Edmund, there is only one bed. How can we sleep?”

“You sleep.” After these two words, I walked to the wardrobe, took off my formal clothes, changed into a casual suit, and turned to walk out.

“Are you going out?”

“Okay.” I answered yes, opened the door and went out.

When I came out of the mansion, Oarlan had already parked the car at the gate and waited for me.

After I got in the car, Oarlan started the car and said cautiously, “Mr. President, we’ve found her and are waiting for her in the villa. But I’ve asked him before, and he said that he didn’t know about Leanna and the two prominent figures. I’m thinking that maybe the two prominent figures have used some means to make Leanna marry him, or maybe…”

“Really?” I looked up at Oarlan.

Oarlan lowered his eyes immediately.

The car left the mansion and headed for the villa.

Half an hour later.

The car drove into the garage of the villa.

I walked into the house with a long face.

As soon as I entered the room, i smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Kerr sleeping on the sofa drunkenly.

“I’ll wake him up right away,” said Oarlan

Then he walked quickly to the sofa and pushed Kerr’s arm. “Mr. August, wake up.”

“Wake up!” I sat down on the sofa opposite, crossed my legs and said mercilessly.

Hearing this, Oarlan turned around and went to the kitchen to get a small glass of water. I poured it directly on Kerr’s sleeping face.

All of a sudden, the drunk Kerr was splashed with cold water.

“Are you awake?” I said coldly.

“Mr. Edmund, you’re back…” he said with a fake smile on his face.

Oarlan threw him a towel and said, “dry your face before talking to Mr. Edmund.”

Kerr took the towel and wiped his face. Then he asked with a smile, “Mr. Edmund, where is… Leanna? Why didn’t I see her?”

“That’s exactly what Mr. Edmund wants to ask you.” Oarlan said, “your daughter is a good woman. She coaxed Mr. Edmund on the one hand, and on the other hand, she hooked up with another man. Is this how your family goes?”

“What… What? Another man?”.

“You really don’t know, or do you want to get both sides benefits just like your daughter?” Oarlan continued to deceive him with a cold face.

Kerr rolled his eyes and said immediately, “Mr. Edmund, I really don’t know about it. How about this? You give me two days to figure it out and I’ll give you a satisfactory reply then.”

“What if your reply doesn’t satisfy me?”

“Then I’ll tie her up in front of you and let you do whatever you want.” He gritted his teeth and promised.

“Do you know the consequences of lying to me?”

“No… No. Mr. Edmund, don’t worry. I promise I will keep my word. If I can’t do it, I will be hit to death by a car when I go out.” He raised his hand and swore.

“Good.” I waved my hand and said to Oarlan, “see the guest out.”

“Mr. August, please.” Oarlan gestured to the door and sent him out.

The living room suddenly became quiet. I leaned back on the sofa and looked back. My eyes fell on the ceiling and slowly closed.

Oarlan, who came back, thought for a moment and whispered, “Mr. President, it’s already early in the morning. You must be tired today. Why don’t you go back to the mansion and have a rest first?”

“I’ll stay here tonight. You can leave now.” Opening my eyes, I stood up from the sofa and said.

“Well…” Oarlan hesitated for a moment and reminded, “you have to accompany Miss Fisher to serve tea to [old master] and his wife tomorrow morning. I’m afraid…”

I’m upset now. I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to be alone.

Oarlan continued, “what’s more, if Leanna really gets the marriage certificate, I’m afraid that the people from the two bedrooms will come tomorrow morning…”

“Go back to the mansion!”
