Billionaire’s Mistress

Edmund’s POV

When I heard that Leanna was missing, I was having breakfast with grandpa in the King’s mansion.

When I heard from Oarlan that Leanna was missing, I was shocked and put down the knife and fork in a hurry.

“What happened? Even the breakfast is not delicious.” Grandpa frowned.

“Grandpa, I have some personal affairs to deal with, so I won’t have breakfast with you. Enjoy yourself.” I picked it up, wiped my mouth and stood up.

“Private affairs? Do you have any personal affairs? a woman?” mother’s voice came from the door of the restaurant.

“Mother.” I called stiffly when I saw her.

She glanced at me coldly and said sarcastically, “you know me? We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I thought you forgot that you have a mother like me.”

“Ophelia, what are you talking about? You are Edmund’s mother. How could he forget you?”

“Father, I don’t think so. Although the baby was born in my belly, he is more like his father. No matter how his father treated me in the past, he might have done the same thing to me. I heard that he had lived in the big house these days, but I just saw him today. It can be seen that he was deliberately avoiding me, right?” She said and sat down on the right seat of Grandpa, facing me.

Hearing this, Grandpa sighed, “don’t wrong Edmund. He has a lot of things to do in the company. You haven’t got up yet when he goes out every day. When he comes back, you have already gone to bed. It’s normal that you don’t see him.”

She sneered.

“Grandpa means that if mother wants to see me in the future, you can get up early or go to bed late like him.” I said loudly with a cold face before grandpa spoke.

“You… Unfilial son, how dare you ask your grandfather and I to accommodate you?”

I didn’t care about her blame at all. “Since mother doesn’t want to compromise, don’t blame me for disobedience. After all, I didn’t do it all of a sudden today.”

I will never forget that when I was young, I went to greet her sooner or later, but I was never put into a room. Every time I knelt at the door for an hour and then left with tears.

Grandpa just said that I was atoning for my father, but I don’t understand why he asked me to atone for his crime. Did I ask my father to abandon mother?

In mother’s shocked eyes, I said goodbye to Grandpa and left the restaurant.

Ophelia’s POV

After Edmund left, old master asked someone to help Edmund back to his room.

Looking at the empty restaurant, I was angry and depressed, but I could not lose my temper. I just sat there with a cold face.

Trish, my personal servant, comforted, “my lady, you don’t have to do this. It’s not easy for you to see master. You should talk to him nicely.”

“Do you think I want to do this? I can’t help it. Edmund looks more and more like his father. As long as I see his face, I can’t help but think of that heartbreaker…” as I said, tears appeared in the corners of my eyes.

As a mother, I also want a mother to be kind and filial, but the wound in my heart has not been healed, and I can’t help it.

“Yesterday, I heard from Wasim that grandpa had already chosen a wedding day for master, which is on the eight of next month. When the new daughter-in-law enters the house, you will have a daughter. It is said that the daughter of the Fisher family is studying abroad since childhood, and master has also studied abroad for many years. I think they must have something in common. They will love each other very much,” Trish persuaded.

“I hope so. Maybe in this way, I can separate him from his father.” I convinced myself with a long sigh.

Leanna’s POV

It had been three or four hours since I arrived at Evelyn’s house.

At half past four in the morning last night, I called Evelyn for help.

Evelyn took me in.

The second morning, I settled me down and went to work.

Looking out of the window at the shining golden fragrans, I felt a sense of loss.

Why did I end up like this?

After all, it was my wishful thinking.

Maybe I should have thought about it earlier. With my birth and background, how could I deserve such a noble identity as Edmund?

The story of Cinderella and the prince only existed in fairy tales.

In the evening, Evelyn rushed home after work and took me out for dinner.

I had no appetite, but I didn’t want her to worry about me, so I forced myself to cheer up and followed her to the restaurant at the gate of the community.

As soon as I ordered the food, I smelled the aroma of the food on the table next door. I suddenly frowned and covered my chest.

Evelyn asked with concern, “what’s wrong, Leanna? Are you okay?”

“I… vomit…” when I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, I felt nauseated and retched again.

Seeing this, Evelyn quickly poured me a glass of water.

I retched two times, took a sip of water and forced the disgusting smell down.

“Evelyn, I can’t stand the smell. Let’s stop eating, okay?” I’m afraid that if I throw up again later, not only will Evelyn lose her appetite, but also will make the next table unhappy.

Seeing that I was in a bad condition, Evelyn didn’t dare to delay. She nodded repeatedly, helped me up and walked out together.

Seeing this, a waiter immediately stopped us. “Miss, where are you going? The dishes have not been served yet.”

Evelyn took out one hundred dollars from her bag and gave it to the waiter. “We don’t want to eat any more. One hundred dollars should be enough, right?”

“Wait a minute. I’ll go to the kitchen to have a look.” The waiter took the money and rushed to the kitchen.

After a short while, she came back. “I have cooked a dish for you, and I have retreated the rest. Would you like me to pack it for you?”

Evelyn waved her hand and said, “no, thanks.”

I feel much better after walking out of the restaurant and breathing the fresh air.

Seeing that Evelyn was still hungry with me, I said apologetically, “Evelyn, you must be hungry after working for a whole day. Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll treat you.”

Evelyn sighed, “forget it. You can’t smell the food, so I’d better buy bread to eat.”

“No, bread is not nutritious. How about this? I’ll treat you to Western food, okay?” I feel sorry and suggested.

Hearing that, she frowned and said, “but, do you have so much money? Leanna, in fact, I wanted to ask you yesterday. What’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly wandering on the street?”

“I…” I opened my mouth, but didn’t know where to start.

“Forget it. I’m not gossiping. I want to know something about you. If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t say it. We are good friends. Don’t worry. Anyway, I will protect you.” She patted me on the shoulder and comforted.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“You’re welcome.” She waved her hand indifferently. After a pause, she continued, “but there is one thing you have to tell me. Are you pregnant?”

I didn’t expect her to know she was pregnant at the first sight. I was surprised.

Evelyn frowned and said, “you overreacted. A normal person can guess it, okay? So you came to me because of this child? Tell me the truth, did you meet a heartbreaker? Did he dump you when he knew you had a child?”

A heartbreaker?

Edmund?

I don’t know how to define my relationship with Edmund.

He said they were a couple, but it seemed that he had never mentioned my existence to anyone else.

But if they are not a couple, what’s wrong with me sleeping in the same bed with him every night?

Seeing that I lowered my head and didn’t say anything, Evelyn snorted, “well, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you. Let’s go home now. I’ll cook noodles for you.”

I looked at her gratefully and nodded. “Evelyn, I haven’t thought it over yet. When I figure it out, I’ll tell you.”

“Okay, don’t worry. Take your time. Anyway, you have to take good care of yourself for the sake of the baby in your belly.” Then she held my hand and we went home.

Edmund’s POV

The whole day has passed, but I haven’t received any news about Leanna.

She disappeared without a trace, as if she had disappeared from the world all of a sudden.

Outside the office, Oarlan gently pushed the door open and walked in.

I looked up at Oarlan who was walking towards me.

“You found?”.

He shook his head. “I’ve searched everywhere I can. Even his father, but I don’t know.”

“Will she go to see her mother?”

“No, she won’t. The Moor family hurt her like that last time. No matter how hard, she wouldn’t go to The Moor family.” Said Oarlan.

My heart gradually sank. “Find her. No matter what method you use, you must find her out.”

“Mr., actually…” Oarlan hesitated.

“Just say it.” I’m upset, and I’m even more upset when I see him hesitating.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry. I will find a private detective to find Miss Leanna back.”

“One day. If I can’t see her at this time tomorrow, you don’t have to show up again.” I gave him an ultimatum and waved to let him leave.

Oarlan left quickly to find a private detective.

Leanna’s POV

Evelyn was a good cook.

We sat face to face at the table. Each of us had a large bowl of spaghetti.

“How is it? Does it smell disgusting?” Evelyn asked with a smile.

I also feel strange. I didn’t eat spaghetti before.

But now, looking at the large bowl of noodles in front of me, I can’t help but drool. I really want to eat it.

“It’s not disgusting. It looks delicious.” As I said, I picked up some noodles with chopsticks and put them into my mouth. Then I nodded, “it tastes really good.”

Seeing this, Evelyn shook her head with a bitter smile. ” The baby in your belly is really fond of spaghetti.”

I smiled and didn’t say anything. I focused on eating the noodles.

Recently, I haven’t had a good meal because of Edmund and my pregnancy.

Now that I finally find the food I can eat, I naturally want to eat more.

Soon, a bowl of noodles was finished.

I wiped my mouth with a napkin and burped with satisfaction.

“Are you full?” Evelyn asked.

I nodded. “If you are full, you can eat noodles from now on. Don’t worry about your hunger any more.”

Hearing that, Evelyn rolled her eyes and said, “if you wish, just eat spaghetti. What are you going to give birth to at that time? I’ll tell you that I cooked noodles today because of a special situation. From now on, you’d better eat well and eat something nutritious to recover.”

Give birth to a baby?

I have never thought about it.

When I first knew that I was pregnant, I was surprised and often imagined whether the baby in my belly was a boy or a girl. After it was born, it would look like Edmund or me.

But now, I dare not think of anything.
