Billionaire’s Mistress

Edmund’s POV

After what had happened last night, the old house returned to peace.

The servants had cleaned the mansion, except for the red lanterns and the red characters carved with wood.

I didn’t sleep all night last night. I sat in my room for the whole night and went out when the day broke.

With a worried look on her face, Wasim said, “Master, you have been tired these two days. You don’t look well.”

“I’m fine. Did grandpa get up?” I asked in a low voice.

“Yes. old master is getting old and doesn’t get enough sleep. He wakes up at dawn every morning. Now he is taking a walk with Chloe in the garden.” As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and said to me, “by the way, Master, last night before old master went to bed, he told me that second master had gotten the marriage certificate with a woman. Just now, he called and said that he would bring his new daughter-in-law to pay respects to old master. What do you think…”

When I heard this, my expression suddenly became serious. I asked, “does grandpa know that they are coming?”

“I don’t know yet. I’m going to tell him. But didn’t you tell him before? Without your and my wife’s orders, Mr. Carter is not allowed to enter the gate of the mansion, so I’ll ask for your permission first.”

“Since he brought his new daughter-in-law to serve tea to Grandpa, there is no reason to stop him. You go downstairs to prepare, and then send someone to inform madam. I will talk to Grandpa.” I told him to walk towards the garden.

In the garden, Grandpa was watering the roses in front of him with a watering pot.

This rose was planted by grandmother when she was alive. At the beginning, it was just a small bunch, but over the years, it had grown into a large group after careful care by grandfather.

The golden morning sunlight sprinkled on the crystal clear water drops on the pink petals, reflecting a dazzling light.

I stood not far away and watched for a while before slowly walking up to him.

“Why do you get up so early?” Grandpa didn’t look back, but he guessed it was me. He asked before I opened my mouth.

“Yes, I’m up.” I took the kettle from Grandpa and watered the flowers for him.

Chloe passed a towel to Grandpa and wiped his hands. Then he stepped aside silently.

“You look exactly like me. When I was young and married your grandmother, I woke up early in the morning on the second day of my wedding.” Grandpa smiled when he recalled his youth. “But I didn’t go downstairs when I woke up. Instead, I held your grandma in my arms and looked around. I felt that I couldn’t see enough.”

“It’s really rare to have such a deep relationship as you and grandma in the world.”

In fact, I should have had it in my memory.

There were many mornings when I woke up from my dreams and saw the woman sleeping soundly in my arms. I also felt that I couldn’t see enough.

But now?

Who was she sleeping in?

“Myrna is a good girl. You should treat her well. From now on, your relationship will be the same as me and your grandmother.” Grandpa looked at the roses in front of him and said meaningfully.

“Really?” I smiled sarcastically. Myrna is indeed a good girl, but she and I are only brother and sister, and there is no love between men and women between us. I know this better than anyone else.

“Are you dissatisfied with the marriage grandpa made for you?” Grandpa seemed to notice that there was something wrong with my mood, so he asked.

“Even without grandpa’s arrangement, I will marry Myrna. But I have something to tell you. Myrna and I will move to the villa from the mansion tomorrow. We will come to greet you on time on weekend. I hope you can agree to my arrangement.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

“I don’t want to stay here to make people feel bored.” When I said this, a hint of pain flashed through my eyes.

Grandpa sighed and lowered his head. “Your mother… Well, if you want to move out, you can move out. But Myrna needs to come to see her often. I heard from Wasim that your mother likes Myrna very much.”

“I know. I will tell Myrna.” I paused for a moment. When I was about to tell them that room two was coming, I saw Wasim coming over from the front. “old master, young master, second master and others are coming.”

“What are they doing here?” Grandpa frowned and there was a flash of displeasure on his face, as if he didn’t want to be disturbed in this quiet morning.

When I followed grandfather back to the hall, Myrna had already got up.

Accompanied by the servant Trish, Mother also went downstairs and was sitting on the sofa in the hall.

“Good morning, Grandpa.” When Myrna saw grandfather, she greeted him with a sweet smile.

“Leena, did you sleep well last night?” Grandpa looked at her kindly and asked with concern.

“Yes. I was so tired last night that I slept well.” Myrna said happily.

As soon as she finished speaking, her uncle had already led a group of people into the room.

Leanna’s POV

The words of Myrna just now fell into my ears word by word. For some reason, my heart, which should have been completely calm, inevitably ached again.

Last night, it seemed that they had a happy wedding night.

“Dad, you got up so early today.” With a smile on his face, Rudolf walked up to old master and helped him sit down on the sofa.

“Well, I get up early every day.” old master glared at him and looked at Eugene and me.

Noticing his gaze, Eugene immediately pulled me forward and said, “Grandpa, good morning. You’ve met Leanna last night, so I won’t introduce her to you anymore. I’m here to greet you on one hand, and on the other hand, I want to propose a toast to your granddaughter in law.”

Hearing this, old master looked at me.

I also looked at him from the beginning. His eyes were sharp, with the absolute dignity of an elder, and his expression was solemn.

“What a joke! You haven’t held your wedding ceremony yet, but why are you here to propose a toast to your granddaughter in law? Our serious granddaughter in law hasn’t made a toast yet.” Edmund’s mother said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

Whitney’s face darkened. “What do you mean? Isn’t my daughter-in-law father’s wife?”

” why don’t you hold a wedding ceremony and announce it to the world? But why do you come to other people’s wedding to announce your good news? It’s interesting.” Ophelia retorted.

Hearing what they said, I had to lower my head awkwardly.

“Auntie, I got the marriage certificate with Leanna, a legal couple protected by the law. Leanna doesn’t like to be lively. I have always been low-key, and I’m not in good health. I don’t have many social engagements, so I don’t intend to hold a wedding at all. That’s why I announced my good news yesterday by taking advantage of my brother’s wedding. I thought both of us are the grandson of the King family. My brother’s wedding is the wedding day of the King family. My marriage should be regarded as adding fuel to the fire It’s a double happiness. Don’t you think it’s not appropriate? ”

When Eugene said this, she kept her eyes on me. She put her hands around my waist and looked at me affectionately.

Hearing this, Ophelia’s expression changed abruptly. When I was about to say something, old master coughed heavily and said, “well, well, it’s a happy day. What’s there to fight for? Aren’t you going to propose a toast to the tea? Hurry up, Wasim, ask someone to serve tea for you.”

“Yes, old master.” Wasim agreed and ordered the waiter to serve the tea. Then he walked behind old master and put the four big red envelopes in his hand.

“Edmund, you are elder brother. You and Myrna, you two come first.” As soon as old master gave the order, Edmund pulled Myrna and knelt down under the futon prepared by the servants. Holding a cup of tea, they began to serve the elders present a cup of tea from old master.

After that, it was Eugene and my turn to propose a cup of tea to old master. old master took two red envelopes and handed them to him. At this time, Whitney looked at Ophelia next to him and deliberately raised his voice, “Dad, I’m afraid that your two red envelopes are missing.”

“Why is it missing again?” old master turned and asked.

“What you don’t know is that Leanna is pregnant with your great grandson. They are a family of three. Shouldn’t you give her one more red envelope?”

As soon as she finished speaking, I felt a cold light flying over from behind, like a dagger, piercing into my heart.

Ophelia pondered for half a second and smiled. “I don’t think so. It turns out that she got pregnant before marriage. It’s not me who said that. Sister-in-law, you can just enjoy it at home. Why should you spread it loudly? What if some good people hear it and say that your nephew’s wife is not well educated? That’s not good.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

After saying that, she turned to look at me and asked, “by the way, I haven’t asked my nephew’s wife which family is she from. If I’m not mistaken, her surname is August, right? Does our City Y have a surname of August?”

No one answered this question, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

“Leanna was born in an ordinary family, not from a famous family. But I don’t know that what I like most is her temperament.” Eugene replied in a calm voice.

“Oh, I see. No wonder she got pregnant before marriage. Born in a poor, it’s rare to meet a young man like Mr. Eugene. Since she met him, she must try her best to seize the chance.” Hearing this, Ophelia raised her eyebrows and warned Whitney in a victor’s tone, “sister in law, I have to remind you that since ancient times, the marriage between families of equal social rank has always been very important..”

Rudolf, who had been sitting aside silently, finally couldn’t help saying in a lazy voice, “thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. But you’d better keep your words to your daughter-in-law. After all, pay close attention to Edmund. Don’t take the old path of elder brother.”

“What did you say?” Ophelia’s face changed dramatically and was about to break up with him.

I could only keep silent and lower my head.

Myrna’s POV

I hurried to hold Ophelia, turned around and said to old master with a smile, “Grandpa, I think what aunt Bella said makes sense. Now that Leanna has a child, you should give her more celebration money. Don’t be too stingy, hee hee…”

After saying that, she turned to Ophelia and asked, “Mom, I’m the sister-in-law of Eugene and Leanna. Can you lend me some money? I don’t have a penny now.”

At this time, Wasim also hurried to mediate, ” You said you didn’t have any money with you. I saw that you just took many celebration money from old master. Are you going to save them to buy us delicious food?”

“Shh, Wasim, is it easy for me to save some private money? Why did you expose me?” I pretended to be angry and pouted.

Trish also burst into laughter. “My lady, I saw it too.”

I let out a long sigh and said unhappily, “with so many eyes staring at me, it seems that I can’t save money.”

After such a fuss, everyone laughed. The storm was finally over.
