Billionaire’s Mistress

“No… it’s not bleeding. I don’t need your help.” I lowered my head and whispered.

However, he didn’t let go of my hand. Instead, he held it more tightly.

The cut became more and more painful because of his strength. I frowned and looked up at him.

“What are you afraid of?” There was a hint of irony in his voice and coldness in his eyes.

Afraid?

No, I’m not afraid!

“I’m not afraid. It’s just that it’s not appropriate. If Myrna sees it, she will misunderstand.”

With my current relationship with him, this kind of behavior is too intimate.

“Are you afraid that she will misunderstand you or you have already misunderstood yourself?” His voice was not loud, but the irony in his tone was obvious.

When he told me what was on my mind, I felt my face burning. I knew he wouldn’t let go of me, so I didn’t resist anymore. I just let him hold my hand like that.

A few minutes after Myrna left, she rushed over with the first aid kit.

“Edmund, here’s the first aid kit. How can I get it?” After opening the box, Myrna took out the disinfectant fluid, gauze and cotton swabs and spread them all over the operating table.

“Open the iodine, put the cotton swab in it and wet it. Give it to me.” Edmund ordered.

Myrna did as he said and handed him a cotton swab stained with complex iodine.

Edmund took the cotton swab and was about to disinfect the wound on my index finger. I was afraid of pain, so I didn’t dare to look at it. I just turned my head aside.

As soon as the swab touched my wound, I felt so painful that I shrank back subconsciously. Fortunately, he held my hand and didn’t let me slip away.

“Hold on.” His words sounded like a warning or an order.

At this time, my whole face was so painful that I almost cry.

After the sterilization, he applied some powder to accelerate the healing of my wound and wrapped it with gauze.

Since my hand was injured, I couldn’t continue to cook lunch. Myrna was not in the mood to learn, so she suggested the three of them go to a restaurant outside.

But before she went out, she suddenly received a call. There was an emergency, so she said to me apologetically, “Leanna, I’m really sorry. I can’t go out for dinner with you. My mother just called me and asked me to go home for something urgent.”

“It doesn’t matter…” when I was about to say something, Myrna held Edmund’s arm and acted like a spoiled child, “Edmund, I have a task for you. Leanna came here to be my teacher today, but she was injured and hasn’t had lunch yet. Now I have handed over my teacher to you. Take her out to have a meal for me. Treat her wound here and send her home, okay?”

Hearing this, I waved my hand in a hurry. “Don’t bother. I can go back directly.”

“Go back directly? If my aunt knows that I brought you to my house and let you go back hungry, she might scold me later. I don’t want to be criticized. You can’t go home until you have dinner.” Myrna forcibly arranged a dinner and pushed me to Edmund. “Edmund, remember to entertain her for me.”

After saying that, she quickly ran to the garage, got into her white Ferrari sports car, stepped on the gas and disappeared in front of the two people.

After Myrna left, there were only the two of them, Edmund and me. The silent embarrassment once again shrouded us.

“Let’s go.” Half a minute later, Edmund walked out.

I had no choice but to go out with him. When I arrived at the door of his car, he had already opened the door beside the passenger seat. He refused hesitantly, “in fact, you don’t have to send me home. I will call the driver to pick me up.”

“I just follow my wife’s orders.” As soon as Edmund said, he put his big hand on my shoulder, pushed me into the car and closed the door with his back hand.

Sitting in this familiar passenger seat, my mood is completely different from the last time I sat here.

Edmund got in the car, started the car and drove out of the villa district to the main road.

After a long journey, I found that he was not driving towards The Silver Garden.

Where is he taking me?

I was confused. When I was about to ask, he had already driven into the scenic area along the lake of City Y.

I know there is a very high-end restaurant on the lake. Evelyn mentioned it several times and ranked it first on the list of the restaurant she wanted to come most.

However, it was very difficult to book a seat here, so she had to put it aside.

The car stopped in the parking lot of the restaurant on the lake. Edmund opened the door for me gracefully and I got out of the car with hesitation.

“Well, why did you bring me here?”

My heart skipped a beat and I asked nervously.

“Let’s eat.”

The two words were short, and he had locked the car.

I followed him to the bottom of the restaurant on the lake and took the elevator. A few seconds later, we arrived at the main hall of the restaurant. At the elevator entrance, a beautiful and well-dressed usher came up with a smile on his face. “Mr. Edmund, welcome. How many guests are you having today?”

“Two.”.

“Then you’d better take your original seat.” The greeter said and led me and him to a double table by the window, where the whole lake view could be seen clearly.

“Order the dishes.” After Edmund took his seat, he called the waiter over and threw the menu in front of me.

“I… I’m not hungry. What do you want to eat?” I’m not even in the mood to eat, so I don’t care what to eat, so I handed the menu to him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“How about introducing the latest set meal for couples to you two?” The waiter glanced at the huge diamond ring on the ring finger of my right hand and suddenly understood.

“Two set menus A, steak medium rare.” I was about to say no, but Edmund spoke first.

After a while, the waiter put the lunch on the table and opened the delicate silver lid. The aroma of the food soon filled the air.

The atmosphere was too embarrassing, so I didn’t have any appetite at all. But now the food is delicious, I can’t help swallowing. After all, even if I’m not hungry now, the baby in my belly is hungry.

I picked up the knife and fork and gently cut the steak. The flesh inside was raw and scarlet.

I almost vomited. Although I have eaten many Western food, I still don’t have the courage to try anything new.

“What’s wrong?”

“No… nothing. I… I don’t have any appetite.” She shook her head. I didn’t dare to tell him. I think it’s disgusting. She forced a smile and didn’t dare to look at the steak.

“I want to eat even if I have no appetite.” He cut a piece of steak and handed it to my mouth, completely ignoring his abrupt behavior. “Open your mouth.”

I frowned and wanted to refuse, but when I opened my mouth, he seemed to find the right time to send the meat into my mouth. She remembered that the bloody food had already entered her mouth. She had no time to taste the delicious steak and just wanted to vomit.

“Swallow it.” His tone was an order. His voice was not cold, but it could not be resisted.

Forcing myself to swallow the flesh in my mouth, I was so aggrieved that I almost burst into tears.

“Do you want me to feed you?” He asked softly with a faint smile on his face.

I lowered my head and began to fight with the meat in my plate. She forced herself to eat a small piece of the disgusting food, only to find that it tasted good. With the ancient red wine, I began to understand why so many people liked to eat medium rare steak.

Except for the small meeting at the beginning, there was silence for the rest of the time. It was not until Edmund paid the bill that we walked out of the restaurant.

“Thank you for your lunch. It took you so long. I think I can go back by myself next.” I followed him to the garage and finally plucked up the courage to speak.

“I never get used to giving up halfway.” Then he opened the door for me.

The implication was that he must send me home.

“I really don’t need it. Go ahead with your work.” If I continue to stay with him i, I’m afraid I’ll go crazy.

“Leanna, didn’t you say that you wanted me to forget the past and pretend that nothing had happened? Now I’m sending you home as my brother. Why did you refuse? Or is it because you can’t let go of yourself that you desperately want to keep a distance from me?” Edmund looked down at me. Every word was like a great bell ringing in my heart.

My face turned pale.

Didn’t I put it down?

No, that’s not true!

“Don’t think too much. I can’t let him go. I just…” I want to explain why I avoid him like.

However, he didn’t have the patience to listen. “Then get in the car and prove it to me!”

I raised my head and looked into his eyes. After a long time, I gritted my teeth and bent down. I got on the car and looked ahead expressionlessly without saying anything.

If I dare to stay with him alone is the evidence that I have completely put him down, then I’m willing to try to adapt to the embarrassment that makes people difficult to breathe.

Edmund’s POV

Looking at her resolute face through the glass, I felt a pang of bitterness in my heart. I turned around, sat on the driver’s seat, started the car and drove towards The Silver Garden.

Halfway through the car, Myrna suddenly called.

I was driving, so I answered it with the car telephone. As soon as I answered it, I heard the excited voice of Myrna, which spread all over the car.

“Edmund, how’s it going? Did you buy Leanna something delicious?”

“Yes.”.

“Did you have a good chat? How was the dinner?”

I think her question is a little straightforward. When I turned my eyes, I saw Leanna looking at her fingers thoughtfully.

“What do you want to say? I’m driving her home now.” I deliberately “reminded” him.

“Ah? You haven’t sent her home yet? Well, I have to hang up now. I won’t disturb you. You guys take your time.” After saying that, Myrna hung up the phone decisively.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, fearing that Myrna would say something shocking if I keep calling.
