Billionaire’s Mistress

But soon, I heard the commotion downstairs. It seemed that Ophelia wanted to send someone to break in.

I quickly took Cedric into the study to deceive Cedric into playing games and keep him quiet. Soon, I heard the voice of Trish getting closer and closer to us. I guess she have searched the master bedroom and guest bedroom. When she was about to search this room, my heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, Edmund came back in time, stopped them and sent Ophelia away.

After Ophelia left, Edmund went upstairs and saw us.

When he walked into the study and saw me, he said nothing and pulled me into his arms tightly.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

It was not until this moment that I felt that Edmund cared about me.

“Daddy, I want a hug too.” Cedric jumped to one side, begging for a hug.

Edmund bent down and picked up Cedric. “Cedric, were you scared just now?”

“”Scared?” Cedric rolled his big eyes and asked, “Why are you so scared? Mommy, did I win the game just now? I haven’t spoken all the time. Will my chocolate cakes be confiscated?”

“”You win. Don’t worry. I’ll give you all the chocolate cakes.” I touched his head and looked at Edmund who was confused. Then I explained, “just now, Auntie came. I was afraid that she would find that Cedric and I were here, so I couldn’t explain, so I had to hide in the study with Cedric. In order to keep Cedric quiet, I played a game with him…”

Hearing this, Edmund didn’t say anything. He walked out of the study with the Cedric in his arms and handed it to Oarlan.

I sat on the sofa and cried.

In fact, when Ophelia just arrived, I was already scared to death.

Just now, Trish tried to break in by force. I was even more scared.

But in front of Cedric, I can only pretend that nothing has happened.

In fact, I’m not strong in my heart. It’s just that as a mother, I have to be strong. Only in this way can I protect my child and make him feel at ease.

However, now that everything has passed, the grievance in my heart burst out uncontrollably.

He walked slowly to the sofa and stood in front of me, looking down at me.

I raised my head and looked at the man in front of me. His tearful eyes made me unable to see the expression on his face at the moment.

I grabbed his hand and said, “let me go with Cedric, okay? I beg you. There are no two of us in this place.”

His face suddenly turned cold. “Go? Where do you want to escape this time?”

“So what if I don’t run away? The King family can’t accommodate Cedric? We both know clearly what kind of trouble will be caused if the identity of Cedric is exposed.” I wiped the tears on my face and sobbed.

“So why did you marry Eugene? To revenge on me? If you hadn’t married him, why did things come to this point?”

“I don’t know Eugene is your brother…” I tried to hold back my tears. If I had known it, I wouldn’t have done that.

The King family is like a distant dream for me. I just want to hide.

“So, do you admit that you married him to take revenge on me?” He looked at me, and the temperature in his eyes was not as cold as before.

I nodded and then shook my head. “I just want to find a father for Cedric. I don’t want him to be like me. I grew up in a single parent family. I know what it feels like.”

“In that case, why are you flinching now? Didn’t you say that you could pay any price for the two children? It’s just the beginning, and you can’t stand it?”

When I heard this, my expression suddenly froze.

If I didn’t hear it wrong, did Edmund mean to encourage me not to flinch?

“If I knew you were so vulnerable, what’s the use of me keeping you here? Are you leaving? After giving birth to the child, I will arrange for you to leave, but after leaving, you will never see two children in your life!” He threatened.

I looked up at his cold face and knew that he was not joking with me.

It’s absolutely something he can do to make me unable to see my child for the rest of my life.

“I… I won’t… I won’t…” I finally gave in. “But Cedric and I can’t live in this house anymore.”I dodged Ophelia’s attack this time. What about next time?

“I will arrange another place for you.”

I really want to ask him if he can stay with the child forever if he doesn’t leave. But I don’t dare to ask. I’m afraid that his negative answer will shake my heart.

After a long silence, I said in a low voice, “if… When you decided to marry Miss Fisher, I told you that I was pregnant with your child, would you still marry her?”

Hearing what I said, he was obviously stunned. After a while, he sneered, “you had the chance to know the answer, but you chose to hide the pregnancy. Now you come to ask me, do you think I will tell you?”

“I didn’t tell you that I was pregnant because I didn’t want you to think that I was using my child as a bargaining chip to bind you. I thought you really loved Miss Fisher. After all, you two seem to be so close.” I explained.

“Really? You are so great. You sacrificed your feelings to fulfill me. Then what happened later? I asked you more than once about the origin of the child, right? How did you answer me?” He snorted.

“Later, things were completely out of my original plan. When I knew that Eugene was your brother, I didn’t dare to tell you that the child was yours either. Later, Miss Fisher came to me and told me that your marriage was just to help her gain a foothold in The Fisher group. Since it was your choice, of course I should respect you.”

“It seems that you really care about me.” He sneered.

“I know I am stupid. I have done a lot of wrong things and stupid things, but no matter what I do, I have never thought of hurting you.” Even if I knew that I was “abandoned” by him, I chose to quietly quit.

“Stupid woman!”

“Yes, I am stupid, but is it also wrong to be stupid? Edmund, why are you so cruel to me?” Tears came out again.

I have suffered a lot these years. At the beginning, I loved him, so I endured it.

Now I have to endure it for the sake of the child.

But I don’t know how many grievances are waiting for me.

“Don’t cry!” He shouted.

I was so scared that I stopped crying at once. I opened my tearful eyes and looked at him eagerly.

But in less than two seconds, tears uncontrollably flowed more.

“Well, don’t cry.” He finally couldn’t bear it and his tone softened.

I don’t want to cry, but I can’t control myself. Even if I stop crying, I still keep sobbing, which makes me depressed and embarrassed. I just sobbed, “I… i… I didn’t… cry…”

“Go wash your face and change your clothes. Pack up your and Cedric’s luggage. I’ll ask Oarlan to send you to your new residence this afternoon.” Then he turned around and walked outside.

Looking at his receding figure, I was in a daze for a long time before I came to my senses.

Did I reconcile with him?

Maybe?

In fact, I am quite familiar with the new residence mentioned by Edmund.

That place was not far, just next door.

It was the “welfare room” I got when I was Edmund’s butler.

Because of the high floor, it was highly private.

In addition, there was an garden in the air, which could let Cedric play wildly in it. It was more suitable for him to live in the villa.

As soon as Cedric entered the room, he ran around happily, followed by Annie and Anna, fearing that he would fall.

The apartment was connected by two floors. It was not a small apartment, but in fact, it was more like an air villa.

But it was a little smaller than the villa by the lake.

There were not so many rooms, and the kitchen and living room were not that big, but all the space was enough for them.

Oarlan sent us here. After settling down, he specially said to me, “the president is going to attend the mayor’s wedding banquet tonight. He won’t come for dinner. You don’t have to wait for him.”

I was stunned for a moment and didn’t know what to do. But soon, I reacted and deliberately replied, “I didn’t plan to wait for him.”

“Really? Mr. President should be sad when he heard this.” Oarlan joked.

“Then coax him. Aren’t you his assistant? It’s your duty to make him happy.”

Hearing this, he waved his hands repeatedly. “No, No. It’s wrong. The assistant’s job is to assist him in business, which makes him happy. It’s better for you. This house is the benefit of the housekeeper. You enjoy the benefit of the housekeeper, so you can’t quit the job of the housekeeper.”

I glared at him and pushed him out of the room.

Cedric and I had dinner early because we knew that Edmund wouldn’t come for dinner.

Annie and Anna took Cedric to the garden on the top floor to watch the stars, while I sat on the sofa to rest.

In the early stage of pregnancy, my reaction is not obvious, but a little more drowsy than usual.

I turned on the TV and saw the news about the reconstruction of the old city.

I saw the rebuilt community. It was the small apartment rented by my friend Evelyn.

Since I went abroad, I haven’t contacted Evelyn in order to avoid being found by Edmund.

Now I’m back. I don’t want to see anyone else, but I have to see my best friend.

I found the number I had four years ago. I tried to call it, but it saved Evelyn.

I didn’t expect that under the pressure of her parents, she got married in a hurry. Not only did she marry a phoenix man, but she was also bullied by Mother-in-law and sister-in-law. When she was 9 months pregnant, she was pushed to the ground. She not only lost her child, but also almost died. Thanks to my phone call, I sent her to the hospital in time.

After knowing her situation, I felt very sad. At last, I turned to Edmund for help, which helped Evelyn get rid of that excellent family.

In order to prevent that super star from pestering Evelyn again, I transferred her to The Peace Hospital. After settling Evelyn down, I persuaded her parents to go home and have a rest.

The Peace Hospital was a private hospital, which attached great importance to patient’s privacy. The in-patient department had a quiet environment, and the security measures were very strict, and the personnel were well equipped.

Evelyn had nothing to worry about since she moved in.

It was very quiet in the ward. Evelyn looked out of the window at the lush garden with a dull expression.

I knew she was sad, so I tried to persuade her, “Okay, Evelyn. It’s okay. Everything will be fine.”

“Leanna, do you think I have done too much wrong in my previous life that I met such a bad man in my life?” Her voice was not angry at all, and her tone was even more tired.

“Evelyn, don’t think like that. If you get through this, you will have a good life waiting for you. Don’t be too discouraged.”

“My child is too innocent. He can come out to see the world in a month. Why is it so unfair? Why did the God take my child away?” she complained with tears in her eyes.

From the moment she left the operating room till now, this was the first time she had mentioned the poor baby who had died in her womb.

I know she was too sad to change her mind.

the grief that she had been suppressing in her heart.

“Evelyn…” as a mother, I know what a child means to a mother.

Seeing her like this, I felt sorry for her. I reached out, grabbed her hand, and touched my flat belly. “Here, from today on, you can treat the baby in my belly as your child.”

“Leanna…” she looked at me and looked at my belly. She said, “baby, you have to grow up well. Evelyn’s mother will buy you beautiful clothes…”

Hearing this, I couldn’t help but shed tears.

The two hugged each other and cried together.
