Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 76



It has been four years, but his face doesn’t change at all. It’s the same as the first time we met, so perfect that people can’t take their eyes off him.

I can imagine how popular such a bachelor is in the upper class.

But hadn’t he met another true love for such a long time?

Or is it true that as Oarlan said, he loves me all the time and can’t live with anyone else?

I don’t think I am that important to Edmund.

I have always believed that the reason why Edmund couldn’t let go was because he was unwilling to give up.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He is an invincible king in the business world. How could he be coaxed by a nameless woman like me in love?

Perhaps it was this obsession that made him keep thinking of me. Even if he turned the whole earth upside down, he would dig me out of the crowd.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on my face.

Edmund, if you really don’t want to give up, you are too stupid!

With a sigh, I turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as I lifted my foot, my hand was wrapped by a warm heat. When I looked back, I saw him open his eyes and grab my hand.

“I’ve been peeping at you for so long. Aren’t you going to say something?” He looked up and found that his cold eyes were staring at me with a trace of tiredness.

Peeking?

I was stunned for a moment, and then came to my senses. “You… You have already woken up?”

He didn’t say anything. His big hand that was holding my hand had been released. He sat straight and leaned back. The thin blanket covering his body was lifted behind the chair.

He picked up the tea cup and opened it.

“I just made it. It’s very hot. Be careful.” I thought he was going to drink it, so I kindly reminded him.

But as soon as I finished speaking, his hand suddenly shook, and the teacup instantly left his hand and flew straight to my feet.

With a crisp sound, the teacup was smashed to the ground and the hot water splashed on the slippers on my feet. Fortunately, the slippers were thick enough and did not scald me.

But the debris flew to my ankle and scratched my skin, leaving a red wound.

I wasn’t hurt, but I was frightened. I took a step back subconsciously and looked up at him. “What are you doing?”

With a cold face, he grabbed the thin blanket behind him and threw it on my face. “Who told you that you could come into this room without my permission?”

“I…” I bit my lower lip, “I just want to make a cup of tea for you because you are not asleep at this late hour…”

“So you are caring about me?” His face was as cold as ice, and his voice was full of sarcasm.

Care about him?

It seems to be my motivation.

“I’m talking to you. Are you deaf? Answer me!” He pinched my chin and forced me to look at him.

Being forced by him, I didn’t want to irritate him, so I had to say, “yes, I was worried about you. I was afraid that you might not be in good health after staying up late, so I made tea for you. I didn’t expect that you were asleep and I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I went to get a blanket and covered you.”

Hearing my answer, he sneered cruelly, “Leanna, do you deserve it?”

I stumbled.

“Stop your cheap concern. I don’t need it. From now on, you are only responsible for making my son happy and giving birth to children. Don’t forget your duty!” He said clearly word by word.

“Edmund, do you have to go too far?” My heart is bleeding. I don’t believe Edmund said that.

Am I not even a person in his eyes now?

“Too much? What? Can’t you stand it? If you can’t stand it, you can pack up and get out of here right away. No one will stop you!” He said the most hurtful words, and his eyes were red.

I looked at him as if I had never known this man.

After a long while, I withdrew my sight and lowered my head. “Okay, I know. I’m really busy today. I won’t care about you anymore. Please rest assured!”

After saying that, I squatted down and picked up the pieces of the teacup on the ground one by one.

The edge of the broken teacup was very sharp. As soon as I reached out my hand, there was a cut, but I didn’t dare to cry out for pain. I just put my finger beside my mouth and took a sip. Then I continued to pick up the pieces.

He snorted and walked out of the room.

When he left, the door was heavily closed by him. The moment he closed the door, my tears finally burst out.

When I cleaned up the study, it was already half past two in the morning.

The cut on my ankle was very shallow and did not bleed.

I found the medicine cabinet and cleaned the wound on my finger before lying down on the bed in the guest room.

I didn’t fall asleep that night.

I had thought a lot about the relationship between Edmund and me.

I finally realized that it is impossible to repair my relationship with Edmund in a short time.

Now he is in a fit of anger. He is angry that I have taken his son away without saying a word for so many years.

I was angry that I didn’t trust him and thought he would kill the baby in my belly.

But is it really all my fault to make such a situation today?

Who on earth hurt the other party first?

Besides, the death of Eugene was like a thorn in my heart.

Judging from what Eugene said to me last time before Eugene died and what Sheila said to me, Edmund must have something to do with Eugene’s death.

But I don’t want to believe that Edmund would really do such a thing.

After all, Eugene was his brother. No matter how deep the conflict was, he shouldn’t have wanted to kill them.

If I don’t solve this mystery, I will doubt Edmund more.

Although there are many things that I don’t have a clue, there is one thing that I think very clearly.

That is, I don’t want to be weak in front of Edmund.

He hurt me without scruple just because he saw that I was guilty to him?

He can use Cedric to control me. Why can’t I use Cedric to control him?

The second morning, I got up early and made breakfast for Cedric. Then I waited for him downstairs.

When Edmund got up, he saw me sitting on the sofa and there was no hot breakfast on the table as yesterday.

“Why don’t you make breakfast?” He asked in an obviously unhappy tone.

“I’m sorry. If I remember correctly, you said yesterday that my existence was to make Cedric happy and have a baby. These two things have nothing to do with whether I make breakfast or not. So, it’s not my duty to make breakfast.” I sat on the sofa and said without raising my head.

He frowned and was about to lose his temper when Cedric rubbed his sleepy eyes and went downstairs. While walking, he muttered, “Mommy, I want to pee…”

Cedric seemed to have seen his Savior. He immediately stood up, ran to him, picked him up from the ground and was about to go to the bathroom.

Edmund stepped forward two steps and blocked my way. “How old is he? Do you need to take him to the bathroom?”

“Dad, I’m three and a half years old.” Cedric cut in.

” three and a half years old. go to the bathroom yourself.” Edmund said as he stroked Cedric’s little head. He took him away from me and put him on the ground. Patting his little butt, he said, “go ahead.”

Encouraged by Edmund, Cedric walked towards the bathroom.

“Leanna, I want you to make my son happy, not to make him a fool who can’t even go to the bathroom by himself when he is three years old. If you don’t know this, I will consider whether you are suitable to stay with my son.” He looked at me and said angrily.

I knew that he was just taking advantage of the problem to revenge me for not making breakfast for him. But I didn’t get angry. I just emphasized, “he is your son, and he is also my son. I know how to teach him.”

“Do you believe that I will make him have nothing to do with you right now?” He sneered at my retort.

I know he is capable of doing that.

I’ll put up with this first!

“If you want to stay at home, you’d better not try to contradict me, otherwise…” he didn’t continue. He just stared at me fiercely, turned around and walked out of the door.

Seeing his back disappear at the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and patted my chest, looking scared.

This is the first time I’ve acted against him openly. It’s impossible to say that I’m not nervous.

However, it turned out that Edmund’s temper was not something that couldn’t be challenged. At least he didn’t do anything to me today.

In the morning, Cedric received a check-up from the doctor. After confirming that there was no change in his condition, I carried him upstairs. The mother and son closed the door and were playing games with each other.

“Cedric, Mommy asked you a few questions before playing the game. Can you answer me?” I asked seriously.

“Okay.” He nodded seriously.

“Okay. The first question is, Cedric, do you like Daddy or Mommy more?”

He thought for a while and said, “Mommy!”

I’m really touched. We’ve been together for four years.

“Okay. The second question is, if daddy gives you a lot of chocolate cakes, but Mommy doesn’t have so many, who do you like more?”

This time, without thinking, he answered directly, “Dad!”

I took back my gratitude and looked at him speechlessly.

“No, you will lose Mommy. Cedric, don’t you want to be with mommy forever?” I won’t give up.

“Yes, I do. Cedric wants to be with mommy forever.” As he spoke, he stretched out his fat arms and hugged me.

I sighed in my heart that the child was still young and it was instinctive for him to need a mother.

“Well, since you want to be with mommy forever, remember, if one day daddy wants you to separate from Mommy, you must say that you don’t want mommy to leave, understand?”

“Yes, Cedric knows. Cedric doesn’t want mommy to leave.” He nodded vigorously.

“Gool. Only in this way can Mommy be with Cedric all the time. Let’s play a show now, okay? Pretend that I’m a father and I’ll ask Cedric.” As I spoke, I cleared my throat and imitated Edmund’s voice. “Cedric, can you be with me? Let mommy leave. I’ll buy you a lot of chocolate cakes.”

“No, Cedric doesn’t want mommy to leave.”

I touched his head and said, “honey, come on.”

“Cedric, let mommy go. Daddy will find you many beautiful girls to play with you, okay?”

Without saying a word, he nodded excitedly, “Okay, okay.”

I’m very depressed.

“Cedric, do you really want to abandon Mommy?”

“Yes, Cedric wants Mommy.”

“What about beautiful sisters?”

“Of course.”

“What if you can only choose one?”

“Well…”

After thinking for a long time, he looked at me with a sad face, “Mommy, will you leave me?”

“Of course not. Mommy loves Cedric the most.”

“That’s good.” Hearing this, he felt relieved and said happily, “then I choose a beautiful sister.”

“You ungrateful brat!” I was so angry that I gave him a shudder on the forehead.

Suddenly, a nurse, Annie, went upstairs and knocked on the door of the guest room. “Miss Leanna, a guest came downstairs.”

“Guest? What guest?” I was shocked and became nervous.

The people who could come to the villa without Edmund at home must be close to him.

And no one knows what I’m doing here.

“It’s a lady. She looks forty or fifty years old. She is well-dressed and seems to have a special identity.” Annie replied.

After listening to her description, the first person in my mind is Edmund’s mother, Ophelia!

I can’t imagine what will happen if Ophelia knows what happened between me and Edmund.

,”get out of here quickly. Don’t let that lady know that Cedric and I are here.”

Annie nodded and left the room.
