Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 23



When I returned to Edmund’s villa, I felt exhausted.

After taking a shower, I was not in the mood to cook and went to bed early.

The next morning, when I woke up, I found myself lying in a warm embrace. In front of me was Edmund’s handsome sleeping face.

I slept so soundly last night that I didn’t even know when I went to bed.

I was about to get up to make breakfast.

“Don’t move. Sleep with me for a while.” His voice came from above her head.

Well, I won’t move.

I sighed and leaned my head against his chest, feeling warm in my heart.

Although I didn’t really get along with him for a long time and our initial relationship was based on financial interests, I could find a long lost sense of security from him.

Yes, he is the only one in the world who doesn’t care whether I am with him for money or not.

He has enough strength to believe that his own charm is enough to conquer me.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I don’t know if it’s because his embrace is too comfortable or I’m too sleepy. Before long, I fell asleep again unconsciously.

When I woke up again, Edmund was gone.

I was about to check the time, only to find that Cecily had sent me a long voice message on and a short video.

When I clicked on the play, I heard Cecily’s excited voice coming from the phone, “Miss Leanna, big news. You may not believe it. Venus was taken away by the police this morning. It seems that she has leaked the privacy of others on the Internet. I really didn’t expect that the person who exposed your information on the Internet is her. She is so despicable and dirty. ”

The content of the video was the scene that Venus was taken away by the police. The video angle was not very good, and it was obvious that she had taken it secretly.

I stared at my phone blankly, and suddenly remembered the conversation between Edmund and Oarlan in the club.

It seemed that Oarlan had arranged the police to take Venus away.

I really underestimated his means!

When I got up and went downstairs, I saw a middle-aged woman in her forties cleaning downstairs.

“Miss, you’re up?”

Miss?

Are you calling me?

“Hello, who are you?” I went downstairs and looked blankly at the strange woman in front of me.

“I’m Sage. Mr. Edmund hired a nanny to take care of you.” She introduced herself, “are you hungry? There is breakfast in the kitchen. I’ll bring it to you right now.”

Sage turned around and went to the kitchen.

I didn’t expect Edmund to be so considerate and hire a nanny to take care of me.

In fact, there are only two of us in the family. I can take care of the family by myself.

The breakfast was served on the table. When I walked over and began to eat, my phone rang.

It was from Evelyn. She told me that there would be a classmate party the night after tomorrow and she asked me out.

I just returned to City Y and wanted to contact my former classmates, so I agreed without hesitation.

After breakfast, I had nothing to do and helped Sage clean the house.

After cleaning the room, I’ll cook lunch with her.

In just half a day, our relationship had been very harmonious.

When lunch was ready, Sage said to me, “Miss, would you like to call Mr. and ask him if he will come back for lunch?”

“I’m afraid he doesn’t have time.” I’m a little hesitant. After all, Edmund is a busy man. There must be a lot of things to deal with in the company. How can he have time to go home for dinner.

Sage persuaded, “even if Mr. doesn’t have time to come back for dinner, he will be happy to receive Miss’s call.”

“Is that so?” After thinking for a while, I picked up my phone and dialed Edmund’s number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Edmund’s low voice came from the receiver, “what’s up?”

“Well… I want to ask if you will come back for lunch. Sage and I have made your favorite fish…” I asked cautiously.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. I thought my call was too abrupt and disturbed him, so I quickly said, “it doesn’t matter if you don’t have time. Let’s eat by ourselves…”

“Half an hour.” He said.

“What?””Okay, okay, I’ll wait for you.”

After saying that, my heart beating fast.

” Did Mr. agree to come back for dinner?” Sage said with a smile.

“I in half an hour.”

“Okay, I’ll make these dishes.” She went to the kitchen with a smile.

Suddenly, I realized that I was still wearing pajamas. I turned around and went upstairs to change my clothes. By the way, I tidied up my hair.

Oarlan and Edmund came back together. Oarlan sniffed exaggeratedly and said, “it smells so good. No wonder our CEO cancelled such an important dinner. I knew there were delicious food at home.”

“Mr. J is back.” Sage took the coat from Edmund with a smile and hung it on the hanger.

I also stood up in a hurry and looked at Edmund with a trace of guilt. “Did you cancel an important dinner?”

Edmund walked to the dining table and sat down. Taking a look at the dishes on the table, he said in a low voice, “don’t listen to his nonsense.”

“Miss Leanna, did you do all these?” Oarlan found a place to sit down, grabbed a piece of steak. he nodded and said, “yes, it’s delicious.”

?

“Don’t call me Miss Leanna. Just call me Leanna. Only steak is made by me, and the rest are made by Sage.” I don’t dare to take all the credit.

“Don’t do it yourself in the future.” Compared with Oarlan’s praise, Edmund’s reaction was very cold. After saying that, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him and began to eat.

Seeing his attitude, I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed, and my eyes quickly dimmed.

Oarlan immediately said, “yes, Leanna. Cooking is such a dangerous thing. You’d better not touch it in the future. If you are cut by a kitchen knife or splashed by hot oil, Mr. will feel sorry for you. Am I right,?”

Edmund ignored him and gave him a glare.

Oarlan was frightened by his eyes. he shrank and swore that he would never say anything more.

I stole a glance at Edmund. He picked up a piece of steak to taste. His tense face relaxed a little when he tasted it.

It seemed that he didn’t hate the smell.

I knew Oarlan was right.

Edmund didn’t allow me to cook, not because he disliked my poor cooking skills, but because he worried that I would get hurt.

After all, last time I cooked in this kitchen, I smashed a lot of his dishes.

It took Edmund an hour to finish the meal. he ate up the whole plate of steak.

As a chef, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

After dinner, he didn’t stay long. After drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and left. Before he left, he told me that he didn’t need to wait for him to come back for dinner.

After sending him out of the door and watching the car disappear at the end of the road, I turned around and went back to my room.

Sure enough, Edmund didn’t come back for dinner that night. He didn’t come back until I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, he had already left.

If I hadn’t seen his clothes in the bathroom, I wouldn’t have been sure if he had come back at night.

Perhaps, this is the real Edmund. As the president of a large multinational group and the boss of a large financial group, he has a full schedule every day. I should be aware of not being accompanied by him all the time and be a considerate and sensible woman behind him.

Two days later.

It was time for the reunion.

I called Oarlan early in the morning to make sure that Edmund would not come back for dinner because of some social engagements. So I got dressed up and put on a white plain dress, ready to go out.

Sage wanted to call a driver for me, but after taking a lesson from Evelyn’s misunderstanding, I didn’t want to be regarded as rich, so I went out to hail a taxi.

The party will be held in KTV, a famous company in City Y city.

The seat was booked by a classmate from a rich family.

I knew my first love Otis through this rich second generation classmate.

As soon as I arrived at the KTV, I saw my former classmates in the box. The music was loud and the atmosphere was warm. The whole box was very lively.

Evelyn was the first one to see me. She pulled me to the sofa and sat down. Then she muted the music and shouted at the people present with a microphone, “everyone, calm down. Let’s see who I called today.”

At this time, everyone’s attention was focused on me.

Several close friends came to me at once. “Wow, Leanna, it’s you. When did you come back? Why didn’t you contact us?”

“Leanna, we haven’t seen each other for three years. You are more and more beautiful.”

“What do you think? You won’t leave this time? Let me tell you. We haven’t seen each other for three years. We must have a good drink today.”

Everyone was talking. The noise made me dizzy. I nodded to everyone with a smile.

“All right, all right. Don’t make any noise. Let’s ask Leanna to sing a song and speak louder, okay?” Evelyn said as she handed the microphone to me.

Everyone clapped their hands to welcome.

“What’s wrong? Is today’s classmate reunion her welcome to Leanna?” At this time, a sudden voice came from the crowd.

I looked up at the source of the voice and found that the woman who said this looked a little familiar, but I really couldn’t remember where I had seen her before. So I looked at Evelyn in confusion and asked, “Evelyn, who is this?”

“Can’t you recognize her? She is Lelia.” Evelyn whispered in my ear.

Hearing this, I frowned. “Lelia? I remember she doesn’t look like this.”

“Of course. She had a plastic surgery. Can’t you see that?” Evelyn said in a low voice.

I see.

Seeing us whispering together, Lelia couldn’t help getting angrier. “What are you talking about?.”

“Nothing. You have changed so much that Leanna can’t recognize you, so she asked me.” Evelyn said crossly.

“Evelyn, what do you mean? What do you mean by saying that I have changed a lot? What do you want to say?” Lelia lost her temper.

“What are you doing? I paid a reservation to have fun with you. Did I make you quarrel with each other?” In the end, the organizer of this activity, my classmate Vic of the rich second generation, opened his mouth and stopped the “war” that was about to break out.

Lelia didn’t dare to say anything more. She turned her head reluctantly.

Evelyn stopped talking to her.

At this time, Vic walked up to me and forced himself to sit between Evelyn and me. He pushed Evelyn aside and looked at me with a smile. “Leanna, when did you come back? Why didn’t you contact me? Isn’t it too unfriendly?”

“I just came back. I haven’t contacted anyone yet. Evelyn said there would be a party. I’ll be there soon.” I explained.

“Well, then I forgive you.” Vic said and clinked glasses with me.
