Billionaire’s Mistress

“Mother in law, uncle.” Eugene stepped forward and greeted Mother and Lyndon.

Mother glanced at Eugene and nodded with satisfaction. “Okay, you too.”

I came to my senses and invited them into the room.

“Is this Mr. Edmund? Wow, he looks so young. Why is Eugene so handsome? It turns out that she has good genes.” When Mother entered the room, she saw Rudolf and greeted him warmly.

Lyndon followed her with a hypocritical smile.

“I’m flattered. Your mother is also young.” Rudolf said with a fake smile, her eyes wandering over the Lorna.

At this time, Whitney also came out. With a polite smile, she said, “here comes your mother in law. Please have a seat. Housekeeper, make tea for me.”

They sat down in the living room. After exchanging greetings, Whitney looked at the two people, Lorna and Otis. “These two are Leanna’s sister and brother-in-law, right? They are a perfect match.”

Mother smiled and said, “I’m flattered. It was supposed to be a meeting between us, but Lyndon thought that we would be a family from now on, so I brought two yongsters.”

“Yes, you are right. I only heard from Leanna that she had a sister Hannah. Now she is studying abroad. I was worried that she would be lonely if she had no sister here. Now that she has a sister, she can come to our house more often to play with your sister. In this way, she won’t be bored at home when she is pregnant.” Whitney smiled gently and said politely.

” you should have more Lorna.” As she spoke, she pushed Lorna beside her and said, “Lorna, thank your aunt.”

Lorna said sarcastically, “thank you, auntie. But I’m not a toy for you to relieve your boredom. Besides, my sister is pregnant and I’m bored at home, but I’m not. I’m afraid I don’t have so much time to accompany her.”

Anyone who heard her words would feel uncomfortable. After hearing it, Whitney’s face suddenly changed and said in a cold voice, “Oh? Really? I thought that you two loved each other so much that even if you were busy, you would still want to spare time to come to see her. It seems that I have misunderstood your relationship. No wonder you are not related by blood.”

“Mother in law, Lorna is young and inexperienced. She speaks without thinking. Please don’t lower yourself to the same level as her.” Mother apologized to Whitney.

Whitney snorted, “I knew it would be difficult for her to be my stepmother, so I have seen it today. Fortunately, you are a good tempered woman, or I would never dare to take a daughter like Miss Lorna out.”

“Who cares?” Lorna muttered with a pout.

Her voice was not loud, but everyone heard it.

Whitney was very angry. When she was about to ask someone to drive Lorna out, she saw Rudolf stand up and say, “dinner is ready. Let’s move to the restaurant.”

After saying that, he stood up first and walked towards the dining room. Everyone had to follow him, but the enthusiasm on his face had completely cooled down.

Because of Lorna’s disrespect, everyone’s face darkened during the meal.

After dinner, Whitney asked the housekeeper to see the guests out.

The meeting should have been a happy one, but it ended in a very unhappy way.

Although Mother kept apologizing during the meal, Whitney remained unmoved. Especially, she hated Lorna so much that she forbade me to have any contact with her.

Lorna’s POV

On the way back, Otis and I sat in the second car. Otis was also a little dissatisfied.

After getting in the car, he looked at me and asked, “what’s wrong with you tonight? Mrs. King invited you to his house out of kindness, but you didn’t go. Why did you speak so harshly?”

“What’s wrong? Am I interrupting you? Or is it because I don’t give my ex girlfriend face?” With a cold face, I said, “don’t think I didn’t notice that your eyes haven’t left Leanna tonight.”

“Can’t you stop making trouble out of nothing? Who said that you wanted to have a good relationship with her? Didn’t you say that you called her sister? Since you are a member of her family, shouldn’t you save her face? If you directly offended Mother-in-law like that, what would she think of her family?”

“Well, now you regard yourself as a member of her family. Why do you have to lecture me here for her?” As soon as I heard that the Otis thought for Leanna, I got even angrier.

Why did all the benefits fall on her, Leanna?

I am the real lady from a rich family. Why should I be raped by an old man in the end.

The most disgusting thing was that the old man was Leanna’s father-in-law!

Otis ignored me and said to the driver, “stop the car.”

Hearing this, the driver stopped the car in a hurry. Otis opened the door and got off directly.

“What are you doing? Where are you going?”

“I think you should calm down now. I’d better take a taxi back.” Otis stopped a taxi, got in and left.

Watching the Otis driving forward, I clenched my fists and became more furious.

Leanna’s POV

After Lyndon and her family left, I went upstairs to granny Whitney’s room with a bowl of hot porridge.

I gently knocked on the door and got a response. When I pushed the door open, I saw Whitney sitting in front of the dresser with a gloomy face.

“Mom, I brought you some porridge. I don’t think you have eaten much for dinner.” I put the bowl of congee in the hand of Whitney and whispered.

She raised her eyes and waved at me, motioning me to sit down on the chair in front of her. “Tell mom honestly, did that Lorna dislike you before?”

I knew she cared about me, so I didn’t intend to coax her. I just said, “I haven’t seen her for a few times. She doesn’t like me. I never take it to heart.”

Hearing this, she sighed deeply. “No wonder you told Petra that no one really cared about you since you were a child. It’s really hard for you to be born in such a family.”

“It’s not difficult. Although I had a hard time in the past, I am very grateful. Perhaps it’s because of the past experiences that I cherish my current life more.” I said sincerely.

Although there is no love between us, Eugene and I get along very well with each other, which makes me particularly relaxed.

“Eugene should have brought you home earlier.” Whitney sighed.

“It’s not too late.” As I said, I narrowed my eyes and smiled.

After a while, I asked, “by the way, is dad in the study?”

“What study? He went out for business again.” Whitney said as she picked up the bowl of porridge on the table and began to eat slowly.

I didn’t bother her with the porridge and quietly left the room.

As soon as I went out, I found that Eugene was waiting for me at the door. “How’s it going? Is mom getting better?”

“Mom is so generous. How could she be angry about that trifle?” I smiled. After a pause, I looked up at him and said, “Eugene, do you know who dad is going to have dinner with tonight?”

“I don’t know. He didn’t say anything.” He shook his head, but soon looked at me in confusion. “Why did you suddenly ask about it?”

I was afraid that he would find out that I was hiding something from him, so I just waved my hand and said, “no… I just asked casually.”

Eugene stopped asking and went back to my room to take a shower.

When I finished my shower and was about to go to bed, my phone on the bedside table rang.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

I took a look at the caller ID, and it was “Edmund”.

Somehow, I had completely let go of this man in his heart, but when I saw his name, my heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

Why did he call me?

I’ve already made it clear to him, haven’t I?

He is not the kind of perso. Moreover, if he really can’t let me go, how could he choose to marry another woman at that time?

Why did he call me?

Lying on the bedside table, I kept thinking about my phone, but I found that I didn’t have the courage to answer it.

“Why don’t you answer the phone?” The door was pushed open and Eugene came in.

When I heard the voice, I immediately turned around and looked a little panic.

He walked up to me, took a look at the caller ID and reached for the phone.

“Don’t…” I wanted to stop him, but he had already answered the phone. “Hello…”

“Eugene, is that you? Where is Leanna?” It was Myrna.

“Wait a minute.” Eugene returned the phone to me and said, “it’s Myrna.”

Myrna?

What does she want from me?

In my memory, I have only met her three times and we have talked less than ten words in total. Why did she suddenly call me?

And it was Edmund’s phone?

Did she find out something?

Thinking of this possibility, my heart beat faster inexplicably.

“What’s wrong?” Eugene asked.

“No… nothing…” I shook my head and took the phone with hesitation. “Hello.”

“Miss Leanna… Oh, No. Leanna, it’s me. I’m Myrna.”

“Yes, I know. What can I do for you?”

“Are you asleep now? Here’s the thing. I want to ask you for a favor…” the man’s tone was a little hesitant, as if he was embarrassed for her next request.

“Not yet. What’s up?” I don’t know how to refuse him, so I have to say.

“Well… Edmund is drunk. I’m not sure. I want to ask you to help…”

“Well…” I really didn’t want to say yes to such a request. “Isn’t there many people at home?”

“No… there are only two of us at home. We have already moved out of the mansion and now we live in the villa. Edmund doesn’t like other people at home, so only the hourly workers clean the house in the daytime, and only we stay at home in the evening… I really have no choice but to disturb you. You used to be the housekeeper for Edmund and take care of his daily life, so you know how to deal with such things…”

“But…”

“Please help me, okay? I don’t want to find anyone else. If others know that, I can’t even handle such a small thing. I’m afraid that my mother-in-law will blame me for not taking good care of Edmund. You know my mother-in-law’s temper, and I don’t dare to make her angry…” Myrna begged on the other end of the phone.

Hearing her begging, I couldn’t refuse her. I turned to look at Eugene.

Eugene was standing next to me. He could hear the voice on the phone roughly, so when I looked at him, he understood what I meant and said, “since my sister-in-law has asked, just promise her. I’ll drive you there.”

Although I know Eugene is a generous person, I was still a little surprised to hear that he asked me to take care of Edmund.

“Okay, Eugene and I will come back soon.” I said to Myrna on the other end of the phone and hung up.

Putting down the phone, I looked at Eugene beside me and asked, “are you really willing to let me go there?”

“Why not? You are also worried about him, aren’t you?” His eyes were unusually bright, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

He has seen through my hidden thoughts and refused to admit it.

Yes, if I really don’t care about him at all, why don’t I even dare to answer the phone when it rings?

The more i tried to escape, the more I cared about him.

“If you don’t like it, I won’t go.” Although he has always emphasized that I am free and that I just need to act according to my own thoughts.

But just because he gave me enough tolerance, I need to care more about his feelings.

“How can I not like what you want to do?” He smiled at me and said, “you can change your clothes first. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Then he turned around and left the room.
