Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 81



Leanna’s POV

I left Whitney’s villa, got on a taxi and went straight to my apartment.

When I returned to my apartment and sat on the sofa, I saw Cedric. I finally calmed down.

I dialed Edmund’s number. I knew that Myrna would tell Edmund that I was taken away by Whitney.

Sure enough, when Edmund received my call, his tone was obviously nervous. “Where are you? ”

“I just arrived home. She didn’t do anything to me. Don’t worry.”

“I’ll be right there.” Then he hung up the phone.

Fifteen minutes later, he appeared at the door of the apartment.

He stepped forward and pulled me up from the sofa. Then he held me tightly in his arms.

I leaned against his chest, smelling his unique masculine breath. My hands involuntarily circled his waist, and their bodies clung to each other tightly.

Cedric was playing with toys on the ground. When he saw us holding each other, he immediately threw away the toys in his hands and wanted to join. But Anna quickly picked him up from the ground and took him away.

This hug lasted so long that I almost thought I would stick to him forever.

“I have made a decision. I thought about telling you later, but now it seems that we should do it as soon as possible.” He gently loosened his grip on me, took a step back and took out a delicate small box from his pocket.

When I saw the box, I suddenly realized what he was going to say next. My heart beat wildly.

He opened the box gently and picked up the diamond ring in his left hand. “There are still many obstacles that haven’t been removed, so I can’t give you a grand wedding. Take this ring. From now on, you are my wife, Edmund. I will try my best to protect you and our child from any harm. Are you willing to accept it?”

I never dreamed that I would wait for Edmund’s proposal.

Looking at the shining pink diamond ring, my eyes were filled with tears. I felt that all this happened too suddenly, like a dream.

I nodded slightly and sobbed, “I don’t need a grand wedding, as long as I can be your wife.”

In the past, I might want a wedding to be aboveboard and blessed by everyone, but now after so many things, I’m mature and understand that the misfortune of my childhood is not because of the single parent family.

Hannah and I are unfortunate because we have such irresponsible and unreliable parents, and this kind of thing will never happen to our children.

Both Edmund and I love our children more than anything else. Therefore, even if we can’t have a relationship in the sunshine, our children won’t lack father’s love or mother’s love. That’s enough.

The ring was gently put on my ring finger, like a seal. From then on, my body was imprinted with the mark of Edmund, which was compatible with his life and death and would never be separated.

Eugene’s POV

With the iPad in her hand, Sheila walked into the study and stood in front of the huge desk. She looked at me and said, “boss, there is a news hat Miss Leanna has come back and met your mother. Your mother is sending someone to look for me.”

“She has disappeared for four years. How could she appear at this time?”

“Yes, I haven’t found out the reason why she suddenly appeared, but it seems that she doesn’t want anyone to know that she has come back. She has been living in Edmund’s villa, living in seclusion and hiding her whereabouts.” Said Sheila.

“It seems that her wish is finally fulfilled.”

She frowned, “boss, are you really going to stop showing up in front of them? You… Don’t take revenge? If it weren’t for Edmund, you wouldn’t have suffered so much, wouldn’t you?”

“”Revenge?” I shook my head slightly. “Have you forgotten how I came to life?”

In order to survive, I promised grandpa to help him maintain the identity of the heir of Edmund and deal with the Leanna by his side. The condition was that the King family would find a suitable heart for me at all costs.

Later, I made it. old master also fulfilled his promise and found a suitable heart for me. But before the operation, I have to promise him that I will never live as Eugene in the future.

I know that this is old master’s last defense against me. He is afraid that I will change the position of Edmund.

“But Mr. old master has passed away, and no one can take care of you anymore. What are you afraid of? Don’t you want to go back She has divorced and lives alone in the villa…”

“You don’t have to persuade me. I know what to do.” I don’t want to listen to her anymore. I know the reason why I don’t want to appear in front of those people again.

“Are you afraid that once you show up, Miss Leanna will not be able to be with Edmund?” Sheila was furious.

“Do you think you are smart?” I looked up at Sheila.

She shook her head. “I’m not smart, so I can’t understand what you’re doing. Since you like Miss Leanna, why did you give up on her? As long as you show up, she’s still your wife, isn’t she? I know you don’t like to hear such words, but I really think you’re too stupid to sacrifice yourself and help others.”

“I’m tired. You can go out now.” I don’t want to say anything more. I know Sheila is doing this for my own good. She wants me to live a happy life, so I can’t blame her.

“Okay, I’ll go out. Think it over.”

After Sheila left the room, I picked up the iPad she left and clicked on the e-mail, on which there was a report about Leanna and her recent photos.

I enlarged the photo and gently stroked her beautiful face with his fingers. Finally, I didn’t have to hide my love for her.

Yes, I like her and want to be with her.

But I like her so much that I want her to live a happy life more than anyone else.

I also understand that the happiness she wants is something I can’t give her.

It was better to bless them silently than to appear in front of her again and create difficulties for her and Edmund.

This poor woman, like me, has experienced too many unfair things in the world. It’s time for her to gain her own happiness.

Besides, I found out that elder uncle’s death might not be an accident, but I’m not sure if that person did it

Leanna’s POV

Edmund and I have decided to register our marriage in London. In order to make me feel at ease , I will stay in England after we get married. After the baby is born and the Cedric transplant operation is successful, Edmund will take me back to the King family.

I know this is the best arrangement. After all, the most important thing is to save Cedric’s life.

Edmund arranged the affairs in the King group and left Oarlan at the headquarters. He took a private plane to England in the name of business trip, heading straight to London with Cedric.

In the witness of the priest, we signed a lifelong contract and made the promise in front of God for the rest of our lives.

Cedric is going to be our flower boy this time. He is so happy to give us the ring.

The family played in London for two days. Then we flew to Edinburgh and lived in a local mansion.

Edmund stayed with us for a few days and visited almost all the places that Edinburgh could play before he was ready to go back.

The night before he left, Cedric crawled into our quilt, put his arms around his neck and said coquettishly, “Dad, are you going back to work?”

“Okay.” Edmund patted him on the back to comfort him.

“”Will you still come to see mommy and me? Will you leave us?” Cedric asked with concern.

“Little fool, of course I won’t abandon you. I will often come to see you.” Edmund comforted.

At this time, I also gently patted Cedric’s bottom and said, “Cedric, dad just goes back to work. He can come to see us when he has a holiday.”

“On holiday? When can I have a holiday?” Cedric looked at Edmund curiously and asked, “is it Sunday?”

“How about this, Cedric? Whenever you miss me, just call me. I’ll fly over to see you, okay?” Edmund had no choice but to promise him.

“Really?” Cedric’s eyes sparkled with hope.

“Can you remember my phone number?”.

“Yes, I can.” Cedric nodded vigorously.

“That’s good. Don’t worry. I won’t leave you and Mommy alone.”

“That’s right. Since your woman is in my hands now, you won’t leave me alone.” Cedric nodded thoughtfully.

I was speechless.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

After coaxing Cedric to sleep, Edmund sent him back to his room.

At this moment, I suddenly felt completely sleepless. Putting on a thin coat, I went outside to the garden.

Edmund accompanied me to the garden.

Under the bright moonlight, our figures were pulled long. The roses in the garden were blooming brightly. The wind blew, and a burst of fragrance of flowers, mixed with night dew, refreshing.

“Edmund, don’t worry about Cedric. I’ll take care of him.” Walking in the moonlight, I comforted him in a pretended relaxed tone.

“I’m not worried about him.” Edmund pulled me into his arms from behind and gently put his hand on my slightly swollen belly. “You should also take good care of yourself. I have hired servants and medical staff for you. If you feel uncomfortable, call me and I will ask them to deal with it.”

“The people you found for me are the best elites. But, Edmund, I’m a little worried. What if your mother knows what happened between us?” I know that although we two are legally married now.

But without the blessing of my family, I feel a little guilty.

“Don’t worry about my mother. I will handle it. You just need to stay here with Cedric and give birth to the baby safely. I will handle the rest.” He put his head on my neck.

“In fact, it’s not just your mother. There’s one thing in my heart that I want to ask you, but I’m afraid of making you angry, so I don’t dare to ask.” I turned around and looked up at him.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s about… Eugene…” I hesitated.

“Eugene?” When he heard the name, his eyebrows twitched unconsciously. “What do you want to ask?”

“I thought Eugene had a heart attack and died in vain. But when I saw Eugene’s mother that day, I realized that Eugene was burned to death by the fire…” I looked at him carefully and said.

Hearing this, his expression changed and his tone became a little cold. “Do you think I asked someone to set him on fire and burn him to death?”

“No, no…” I waved my hand in a hurry, “I didn’t mean that. I just felt a little strange. When Sheila called me that day, she didn’t say that Eugene was burnt to death. On the way to the hospital, she stopped me and asked me to go to the airport directly. I was wondering, if Eugene was burned to death, what was the last words Sheila told me about Eugene? Was it because Eugene knew that he was going to be burned to death, so he had thought about the last words in advance? ”

Edmund’s pov

After hearing her words, I was lost in thought.

In fact, the fire four years ago was really strange, and I have always been skeptical about it.

But at that time, Eugene was seriously ill and hadn’t found a suitable heart for transplant. Even if he wasn’t the one who died in the fire, it would be difficult for him to survive four years later.

What the hell was going on?

Is there any detail that I have ignored?

“Edmund, what are you thinking about?” Leanna looked at me and asked.

“Leanna, let bygones be bygones. You just need to know that the fire that year has nothing to do with me.” I patted her on the shoulder to stop her from thinking too much.

“”Well, you’re right. That thing has passed. No matter how I think now, it’s meaningless. I believe that you won’t do such a cruel thing. Maybe, that’s an accident.”

“Well, it’s late now. Go to bed.” I ended this topic and helped her walk into the room.
