Billionaire’s Mistress

Edmund’s POV

I left the room and closed the door. I walked to the balcony, picked up my phone and dialed a number.

A burst of laughter came from the other end of the line, “Mr. Edmund, are you satisfied with the big gift I gave you?”

“Mr. Payne likes to guess people’s mind so much. She knows how to cater to others, but doesn’t she know that it’s illegal to imprison others?”

“As long as Mr. Edmund is happy, it’s worth it even if we break the law.”

“Really? But how do you know that I’m happy to hear that?” I sneered and hung up the phone.

”

After hanging up the phone, I dialed Oarlan’s number. “It’s me. You go to Payne’s office tomorrow and tell him that The King group has cancelled the cooperation with The Zalan group, and there will be no more cooperation between them in the future.”

Leanna’s POV

I sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and my heart gradually calmed down.

I suddenly felt a little lucky that it was really Edmund who caught me this time. If it was Edmund’s enemy who kidnapped me like last time, I might not be able to save my life.

I remembered that when I was kidnapped in City X, Edmund risked his life to save me.

It’s also because his reckless behavior completely moved me. He is a man who can save me regardless of his own life. How can I doubt that he doesn’t really like me and loves me?

But why?

Why did everything change as soon as he returned to City Y.

Edmund, you can give up your life for me. Why don’t you marry me?

I really can’t figure it out.

With a click, the door was opened from the outside.

Edmund walked in. He didn’t turn on the light and walked towards me under the light.

“You can go now.” His voice was cold and emotionless.

I raised my head and looked at the face in the darkness. “Edmund, let’s make it clear today.”

He didn’t say anything. He just stood quietly in front of me and stared at me.

Taking a deep breath, I said to myself, “I appreciate you for helping me when I was in trouble. But now that you have married someone else, can you forget what happened in the past? Just take it as nothing has happened between us.”

Only by wiping out all the past can we continue to move forward.

From the moment I decided to marry Eugene, I no longer hope that there would be other possibilities between Edmund and me.

“Do you really want to draw a line between us?” His voice sounded hoarse and deep in the darkness.

” you force me to do.” If he had given me a promise and a family, I wouldn’t have come to this point. It was irreversible.

“I force you?”

“Do you really think you were together just for money?”

“Isn’t it?”

Hearing his question, I felt as if my heart was torn apart and crumpled into a ball by him, so painful that I could hardly breathe.

After a long time, I took a deep breath, held back my tears and choked, “since you think so, then let it be.”

“Leanna, let me ask you again. Who is the father of your baby?” He pinched my face and asked again.

I struggled to stand up and looked at him. After a long time, I said with difficulty, “if I say that the child is yours, do you believe me?”

“I believe you!”

“So what? Will you divorce Miss Fisher and marry me?” I asked in a trembling voice.

He kept silent for a while and said, “I can’t marry you. But I can give you anything except a marriage certificate.”

When I heard his reply, I felt as if I had returned to the time when I discussed this with him.

He said the same thing to me at that time.

He can give me anything except a marriage certificate.

“But you know, what I want is just this title.” I smiled bitterly. I don’t care about the status, but the baby in my belly can’t.

I don’t want my child to live in the name of illegitimate child.

Even though I have a vague feeling that he has his own difficulties in not marrying me.

But so what?

The result is still the same. He can’t marry me, and I can’t marry him.

“Edmund, you know what? I’m glad that the baby in my belly is not yours.” I looked up with a relaxed smile on my face.

“Really… Isn’t it mine?”

“No. as for the money you spent on me and father, just take it as a compensation for me to accompany you for such a long time. After all, don’t you always think that I am with you because of money?”

After that, I stood up and walked out of the room without looking back.

In the reception room, I saw my bag placed on the sofa, picked it up and walked out.

It was late at night.

The noisy city finally quieted down.

I don’t know how I walked out of the club. I just feel that all my strength in my body has been sucked out, and my legs are as soft as cotton.

It was over. Everything was over.

After tonight, Edmund and I will be strangers.

Although my heart will still hurt, I understand that compared with that kind of unclear entanglement, such pain is only temporary.

Time will erase everything. When the baby is born, everything will slowly become better.

When I got home, it was already eleven o’clock in the midnight.

As soon as I entered the living room, the light was turned on. I saw Whitney sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It was so late, but she didn’t go to bed.

I felt a little uneasy, but I still walked to the sofa and said to her, “Mom, good evening. It’s so late. Why don’t you go to bed?”

“Do you know it’s late now?” She looked at me coldly with anger in her tone.

“I’m sorry. I haven’t seen my friend for a long time, so I forgot the time…” of course I didn’t dare to let Whitney know what happened to me tonight, so I could only make up a story casually.

“Really? You forgot the time when you were chatting with your friend and turned off your phone. Your friend is so capable that he let you ignore my words. Do you still remember what I told you when you went out?”

Your phone was powered off?

It was not until this moment that I suddenly remembered this matter. I immediately took out my mobile phone and opened it. Countless missed calls and messages almost made my mobile phone explode.

“you don’t know that there is no news about you when you go out. You haven’t come home yet, which scared Master and his wife. Right now, Master is still looking for you outside and hasn’t gone home yet.” Petra said.

“I… I’ll call him back right now. He’s not in good health. It’s too dangerous to stay outside at night.”.

“Well, now you want to care about him. Why didn’t you know that your family was waiting for you when you had a good chat with your friend?” Whitney said sarcastically

“Forget it, madam. Please don’t be angry. Fortunately, she came back safely. Don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health.” Petra tried to smooth things over.

Hearing this, Whitney frowned slightly and said, “you’re right. I haven’t taught you the most basic rules in the past few days. It’s also my fault as a mother-in-law. In this case, I’ll let you learn the rules tonight. Petra, go and help her kneel down. Tell her what she can do and what she can’t do. Let her remember and don’t get up if she can’t remember.”

Hearing the order, Petra walked to me and whispered, “please kneel down.”

I know I can’t escape the punishment, but I don’t feel wronged. Instead, I feel better.

After all, since I was born, no one hasn’t stayed up late at night to worry about my safety.

Although Mother-in-law wanted to punish me, it was also because of the deep love.

I knelt down obediently and listened carefully to Petra’s words about the rules of the King family.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Whitney sat there for a while and asked the housekeeper to tell Eugene when she came back. Then hse went back to his room to have a rest.

After Whitney left, Petra persuaded me in a low voice, ” don’t think that Mrs. is heartless. She is really worried about you tonight, fearing that something might happen to you outside.”

I raised my head with a faint smile on my face. “Petra, I know that I didn’t blame my mother-in-law for punishing me. On the contrary, I’m moved. I’ve never been cared about like this since I was a child. It’s my fortune to marry into this family. I won’t do anything that will make my family worry about me in the future.”

Petra nodded approvingly and said, “it’s good that you can think in this way. But you have to kneel down a little longer tonight. She is still angry at this moment. If I let you get up too soon, I’m afraid you will be scolded.”

“It’s okay, Petra. I’ll kneel down for a while.”

“Well, when Master comes back, he will definitely help you up, and then Mrs. won’t say anything.” Said Petra.

Eugene arrived home in more than forty minutes. As soon as he entered the house, he saw me kneeling on the ground and helped me up without saying anything.

Because I knelt for a long time, I suddenly stood up and felt my legs numb and dizzy.

Luckily, Eugene held me up and stopped me from falling.

“Master, please help her go back to her room. I’ll tell her that you’re back.” Petra said.

Eugene nodded, picked me up and went upstairs.

Whitney’s POV

I’ve already rested, but I’m not asleep. The bedside lamp is still on.

“Madam, it’s me. Master has come back.” Petra sneaked into the room and whispered.

“Okay, as long as you are back.” When I heard that Eugene had come back safe and sound, I was relieved. But I couldn’t help but ask, “where is Leanna? She is still kneeling?”

“I just got up and have gone back to my room.” Petra replied.

“She must hate me in her heart.” I sighed.

Petra hurriedly waved her hand and said, “no, madam. She knows that you punish her for her own good. Don’t worry. I don’t think she is the kind of person who likes to hide something.”

“Really?” I looked at her curiously.

Petra has been with me for a long time. She is always rigorous and has a high vision. Few people can attract her attention.

Now I’m a little surprised to hear her comment on Leanna.

“Yes, I thought sge was a cunning woman who cheated Master. But on second thought, Master is a shrewd man. What kind of woman can cheat him? I think Master really likes her, so he is willing to marry her.” Petra said, as if remembering something, ” I’m afraid she must have suffered a lot before. She said that no one has cared about her like you since childhood.”

“She is sensible and knows my hard work. It’s not in vain for me to worry about her. Go to the kitchen to see if the bird’s nest soup is ready and send her a bowl. Kneeling for so long, I don’t know if the baby has moved or not.” Petra’s words made me feel sorry for Leanna again.

Hearing this, Petra smiled and said, “I know you will worry about my grandson. Don’t worry. I have stewed the bird’s nest soup at dinner. It’s ready now. ”

“Wait a minute. When you go downstairs, you can ask him when he will come back.” I ordered.

“Okay.” Petra agreed and went downstairs.

Petra’s POV

I brought the bird’s nest soup here. Master took it and asked, “hasn’t father come back yet?”

“I just asked the butler to call. His assistant said that he was drunk and had a rest in the club. He might not come back tonight.”

“He won’t come back?” Master frowned and asked, “is my mother asleep?”

“Mrs. is still awake. She is waiting for my reply.”

Master thought for a while and said, “you tell her that Mr. will come back late and tell her not to wait and go to bed first.”

I took a look at him and immediately understood. He was afraid that if his wife knew that old master lived outside at night, she would have a bad connection, so he coaxed her to sleep first.

I nodded and went to the master bedroom.
