Chapter 75
In the morning, when I just finished my work, my phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, it was a strange number. I hesitated for a moment and slid the answer key. Soon, a crisp voice came from the other end of the phone, “Dad, I’m Cedric…”
“Cedric? What’s up?” As soon as I heard Cedric’s voice, I felt better.
“I want to ask you to watch the movie Ice and snow with me. Are you free tonight?”
“Tonight? I can spare some time for you. But I don’t like it. Do you have anything else you want to do? I can go with you.”
“How can a man date a beautiful lady if he doesn’t like watching a movie? Dad, you can’t refuse to watch a movie. That’s it. Come to pick me and Mommy up to the cinema at seven o’clock in the evening]…” Cedric unilaterally made a decision on the other end of the phone and then hung up the phone.
Hearing the sound from the other end of the phone, I was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. He was autocratic and independent, which was very similar to me.
In order to take Cedric to the cinema in the evening, I specially went home early from the company in the afternoon.
As soon as I entered, i saw Leanna and him playing games in the living room.
“Don’t move. You’ve already been arrested. Raise your hand. You’ll be sentenced to one million years in prison and be suspended for one hundred million years. If you’re willing to hand in one hundred chocolate cakes, I can give you a light sentence…” Cedric announced loudly, pointing at Leanna’s chest with a toy gun.
“One hundred chocolate cakes. Can you finish them?” Leanna asked, amused by him.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I can eat ten thousand pieces of chocolate cakes…” he said.
I walked into the living room quietly and was about to go upstairs to change my clothes.
When passing by the living room, Cedric saw me and immediately shouted, “Dad, are you back?”
“Okay.” I smiled at him and said yes. Then Cedric threw away the toy gun and ran towards me.
“Daddy!” He opened his little hands and ran to my feet.
Seeing that my son liked me so much, I bent over and picked him up from the ground. When Leanna saw me coming back, she immediately put down the toy in her hand and stood up from the ground.
“You are back.” She looked at me with gentle and evasive eyes, as if she was afraid of eye contact with me.
I glanced at her indifferently and turned a blind eye to her greeting.
She was smart enough to put away the toys that Cedric had thrown on the ground, turned around and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
I played with Cedric on the sofa for a while and went upstairs to change my clothes.
Cedric’s POV
The phone in the living room rang.
Without saying anything, I reached out and grabbed the phone. “Hello, who are you?”
Seeing no response from the other end of the phone, I frowned and hanged up the phone.
Two minutes later, the phone rang again.
I happened to be still on the phone, so I quickly grabbed the phone and put it near my ear. “Hello…”
“Hello, is this Edmund’s villa?” The person on the other end of the line asked.
“Who is Edmund?” I asked in confusion.
“Did I call the wrong number again? But my phone number is correct.”
At this time, the nurse in charge of taking care of me came over. Hearing that I was talking on the phone, she quickly took the phone from me and said to the other end of the phone, “Hello, this is Mr. Edmund’s villa. Who can I help you?”
“I’m Trish f Is Master at home? My lady asked me to convey something to him.”
“Mr. Edmund is upstairs now. Please wait a moment. I will inform him for you.” The nurse said.
“No, thanks. Please tell him that it’s the anniversary of old master’s death the day after tomorrow. Tell him not to forget to go home for dinner.”
I curled my lips.
Ophelia’s POV
Trish put down the phone with a suspicious look.
Looking at her strange look, I put down the book in my hand and asked casually, “what? He doesn’t want to go home?”
, “madam, you may not believe that there is a child in the eldest Master’s house.”
“A child? How could it be possible?” Of course I don’t believe that there is a child in my son’s villa.
“Yes, I also feel strange. The first call was answered by a child. I thought I made a mistake. The child answered the second call, but not long after, another woman answered. Judging from the voice, she seems to be very young.” Trish said while thinking.
Hearing that, my expression changed slightly. Women and children, these two kinds of people will never easily appear in the Edmund villa. I know this better than anyone else.
Although there have been a lot of gossips about him over the years, as far as I know, the only woman who has really lived in his villa is my ex daughter-in-law, Myrna.
Even the servants in the house were hired by older ones.
Edmund attached great importance to his privacy. He could indulge himself in dissipation outside, but no woman could enter the villa except someone he recognized.
But now, there were not only women but also children in that room. It was so weird.
“Madam, would you like to go to Master’s villa to have a look?” Trish said.
“There’s no hurry. If it’s just his friend who is at his home with the child, he will leave today. Let’s go tomorrow. If the child is still…” the problem was big.
“Yes, madam.” Trish echoed.
Trish and I analyzed the child’s identity, but we didn’t come to a conclusion. We could only go to the villa to find out the truth on the next two days.
Leanna’s pov
In the evening, after dinner, I went upstairs to take a shower for Cedric and prepared to coax him to sleep.
But he insisted that Edmund sleep with him.
I have no choice but to go to the study to find Edmund.
I knocked on the door of the study and heard a low voice from inside. “What’s up?”
“It’s me. Cedric wants you to sleep with him.” I whispered outside the door.
There was no response in the room. I was not sure if Edmund had heard what I said. I raised my hand and was about to knock on the door again, but the door was opened from inside. Edmund walked out of the study in casual clothes, and my hand almost knocked on his chest.
“Isn’t he going to watch a movie? Why does he go to bed so early?” Edmund looked at me and asked.
“He was just on a whim and didn’t have the energy to go out to see a movie. He is easily tired.”
He lifted his foot and walked towards the bedroom. I only saw him walk to the door, but didn’t follow him in. When I saw Edmund walk to the bedside, Cedric happily held his arm, but his little head looked at the door. “Where is Mommy? Why hasn’t she come?”
“Don’t you want me to accompany you?”
“I want you and mommy to sleep with me.” Cedric finally spoke out his real thoughts.
I was still at the door at this time. Hearing this, I felt a little embarrassed. I turned around in a hurry and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, after I had only taken two steps, Edmund walked to the door and stopped me. “Come here!”
I paused for a moment, and then slowly looked back at him. “I… I haven’t finished cleaning downstairs.”
“Is cleaning more important than your son?” He said coldly.
“No, I didn’t mean that.” I waved my hand.
“That’s not what you mean. Then what do you mean? Are you hiding from me?” He asked knowingly.
“No… no…” Even if there is, I dare not admit it.
“Remember your promise to me. You have no right to say no in front of me!” He reminded me coldly of the promise I made to stay.
Of course I remember. I have said that as long as I stay with my two children and let me pay any price, I am willing to do it.
“I didn’t forget.” I whispered.
“Why don’t you come over?” After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
In fact, I’m willing to sleep with Cedric.
But Cedric’s request is so ridiculous. He asked us two to sleep with him. That means I’m going to lie on the same bed with Edmund.
This kind of embarrassing situation is what I fear most now. I feel uncomfortable living in this room for the past two days.
But now, we are sleeping in the same bed. What should I do?
I couldn’t refuse. I had to bite the bullet and enter the room. Looking at the familiar bed, the big one and the small one on it, somehow, I felt a sense of familiarity in my heart.
As if I had experienced this scene!
Yes, this scene did appear, but not in real life, but in my mind.
When I first knew that I was pregnant, I had imagined that Edmund would marry me and I would give birth to a child. Then the three of them would live happily together.
Now the three of us are indeed together. To be exact, there are four people in my belly, but happiness seems to be far from us.
Cedric, who was lying on the bed, smiled happily. Resting his head on Edmund’s arm, he held his hand and chatted with him.
Seeing me come in, he immediately waved at me and patted the empty seat beside. “Mommy, lie down and sleep with Cedric.”
I walked to the bedside and sat down. I took a look at Edmund and found that he didn’t look at me. I was a little relieved and then lay down beside Cedric.
Cedric twisted and jumped into my arms. Leaning against my chest, he took a few deep breaths and said, “Mommy smells good.”
Thenshe turned to look at Edmund and said, “Dad, come and smell it.”
My face turned red.
“Mommy, what’s wrong with you? Your face is so red.” Seeing me like this, Cedric immediately grabbed Edmund’s hand and touched my face. “Daddy, touch it. What’s wrong with mommy’s face?”
“Oh, no! Daddy, what’s in your hand? Why is Mommy’s face getting redder and redder?” Cedric exclaimed.
Edmund pressed Cedric’s head and said, “lie down. Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Cedric’s head was pressed on the pillow. He twisted his body unwillingly, turned over and got into my arms again. “I want to sleep with mommy in my arms. Mommy’s body is soft and fragrant.”
I held him in my arms and felt relieved. After all, our son still loves me. When he goes to bed, his instinct to find Mother is shown.
“Daddy, you are holding Mommy too. Hurry up.” Cedric turned to Edmund and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, I was speechless.
Does he take me as a pillow? he even shared it with others
I stole a glance at Edmund. I had thought that he wouldn’t take Cedric’s words seriously, but, he really stretched out his long arms and held the two of us into his arms.
I just wanted to sleep with Cedric here and leave after he fell asleep.
I don’t know if it’s because the bed is too comfortable or because I’ve been busy all day long. I’m really tired.
Not long after the light was turned off, I fell asleep with Cedric.
When I woke up, it was already after midnight.
It was very quiet in the room. At this time, Cedric had rolled out of my arms and fell asleep.
I got up quietly and was about to leave, but I didn’t find Edmund on the bed.
Where… Where did he go?
Did you leave the bed for me and Cedric because of me?
But somehow, when I woke up and didn’t find Edmund, I felt a little disappointed.
After bending over and tucking Cedric in, I sneaked out of the room.
When I passed the study, Ifound that there was light coming out.
I raised my wrist and looked at my watch. It was already one o’clock in the morning.
Why hasn’t he gone to bed yet?
I went downstairs, made a bowl of hot tea in the kitchen and brought it up. Then i gently knocked on the door of the study.
There was no response.
Wasn’t he inside?
Thinking of this, I gently pushed the door open and lifted my feet. I saw the familiar figure lying on the desk and sleeping.
The screen of the computer in front was still on, and there were several folders at hand.
It seemed that he was indeed working, but he fell asleep accidentally because he was too tired.
I slowed down and walked to the desk with very light steps. I put the tea on the table and turned around to leave the study.
When I came back, I saw a thin blanket in my hand and carefully covered it on his back. When I was about to leave, my eyes fell on his handsome and charming sleeping face.
