Billionaire’s Mistress

Leanna’s POV

Eugene took the bird’s nest soup to the sofa and said, “the midnight snack is coming.”

Looking at the steaming soup pot, I felt warm in my heart. She picked up the spoon and began to eat.

After I finished eating the bird’s nest, Eugene handed me a towel to wipe my mouth and asked gently, “are you full? Do you want to eat anything else?”

“No, thanks. I’m full.” I waved my hand repeatedly. If I continue to eat, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

“Then you go to take a shower first and go to bed early after that.” He stood up and was about to go out.

“Eugene.”

He looked back at me and asked, “what’s wrong?”

“Why… Why don’t you ask me where you went tonight?”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Leanna, remember, although you married me now, you are free. My mother doesn’t know our agreement, so she will treat you as her daughter-in-law. But you don’t have to do this in front of me. You can go anywhere you want to go and do anything you want to do, on the premise that you have to guarantee your safety, understand?”

“I went to see Edmund.”

Eugene’s understanding and tolerance for me made me unable to hide anything from him. Thinking that he went out to look for me at night, I felt guilty.

“I went to see him and made it clear to him. I won’t see him alone in the future.”

I don’t think Edmund will want to see me again.

“Okay, do whatever you think is appropriate. No matter what decision you make, I will support you.” As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face. “It’s late now. Take a shower and go to bed.”

“What about you? Don’t you have a rest?” I saw him going out, but his bedroom was here.

“I have something to deal with in the study.” Then he opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.

In the morning, I got up and went downstairs to have breakfast. After sending Eugene to work at the door, I went back to the bedroom and prepared to look for a book.

After a while, the phone suddenly rang. The number looked familiar. I didn’t think too much and answered it.

“Leanna, are you awake? Have you had breakfast?” It was mother’s voice on the phone.

Hearing this voice, my mood suddenly sank. “What’s up?”

“Of course I have something to tell you. Leanna, I have a piece of shocking news for you. You must be mentally prepared.”

“What news? Tell me.”

“Ahem… Didn’t your father-in-law go home last night?”

“Let me tell you, but you must not let your mother-in-law know. Last night, your father-in-law slept with that bad girl, Lorna!”

“What did you say?” I was shocked by the news.

“I don’t know exactly. Lyndon and Lorna didn’t go home last night. This morning, as soon as I got up, I saw Lorna crying and running in from outside. The two entered the room and quarreled with each other. I heard outside the door that Lorna was drunk by Rudolf last night and then slept all night in the club…”

“How could it be possible? Father-in-law…” I couldn’t imagine that a calm and dignified father-in-law would do such an immoral thing.

“How can it be impossible? I heard it with my own ears. It can’t be false. Leanna, I’m telling you that your father-in-law is not a good person. You’d better stay away from him in the future. Besides, I’ve told you that. Just keep it in your heart. Don’t let him know, understand?”

My mother warned me on the phone, but my heart was in turmoil.

Why was it Lorna?

She is two years younger than me. How could Rudolf do that?

“Hello… Leanna, are you listening to me?”

“I see.” I came to my senses and said to the phone.

“Well, that’s good. By the way, Leanna, how’s everything going with you and Eugene? Haven’t you set the wedding date yet? You can’t wait. The baby in your belly can’t wait. Don’t you want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly?”

It was not until now that I remembered that I had married the King family and hadn’t told her yet.

Although I had a grudge against her and blamed her for abandoning him and Hannah, after all, she is still my biological mother.

she is willing to care about me now. It’s necessary to tell her about her marriage. After thinking for half a second, I said, “I’ve got the marriage certificate with Eugene, and now I’m married to the King family.”

“Oh, really? Oh, that’s great. When will the wedding be held? I have to prepare a decent dowry for you.” She asked happily.

“No, thanks. Eugene has always been low-key, and I don’t like to be lively, so we don’t plan to hold a wedding. Now that I’m the daughter-in-law of the King family, I’m not going to hold a wedding ceremony.”

“How can I not hold the wedding? Don’t you feel wronged? I will come to the King family this afternoon to meet my mother. Tell her that although our family is not as good as the King family, my daughter can’t be wronged too much, right?”

As soon as I heard that she was going to talk to Whitney about the wedding this afternoon, I got anxious and hurriedly said, “no, please don’t do that. I won’t be wronged.”

“But Leanna…”

“Don’t hesitate. I’m not sure. If you really want to hold the wedding, you should put all your strength on Lorna’s wedding. If my memory serves me right, her wedding date is approaching.” I didn’t give her the chance to continue persuading, so I quickly pulled out Lorna to prevaricate.

“Lorna? That girl is like this now. If Otis knows about it, it’s estimated that the two of them can’t even get married. Forget it. If you don’t want to hold a wedding, then forget it. But, Leanna, I’m your mother after all. Since you’re married, there’s no reason for me not to see your parents in law. How about this? Arrange a time for me to meet your parents in law. Don’t let them think that you’re a child without father’s care and mother’s love I underestimated you. ”

When I heard this, my expression froze for a moment.

Since I was a child, I grew up in the wind and rain without father’s love and mother’s love?

“I see. I will arrange it.” since she is willing to take the responsibility of being a mother now, I can still give her this opportunity.

I really can’t completely sever the relationship with my parents.

After hanging up the phone, I went downstairs and saw my mother-in-law, Whitney, standing at the door.

“Mom, what are you doing here?” I walked up to her. Although she is over fifty years old, she doesn’t look old because of the proper maintenance. She looks like a young woman in her forties, still charming.

I can’t figure out why the father-in-law would go out to have an affair?

“Your father didn’t come back the whole night yesterday. He said he was drunk outside, so he stayed in the club. He just called me and said he would be home soon. I’ll wait for him here.” Noticing that I was staring at her, “what’s wrong? Is there anything on my face?”

“No… no…” flustered, I shook my head and continued, “I’m just curious about how mom takes care of herself and why she can make herself look so young.”

She burst into laughter. “Do you want to know? I’ll introduce all the skin care products I use to you later.”

“Thank you, mom.” I smiled and held her arm intimately.

On the second morning, I waited for Rudolf at the gate of the villa with my mother-in-law.

Rudolf stepped into the room and glanced. Then he turned to look at Whitney and explained, “last night, a boss insisted on drinking with me. He drank too much by accident and was afraid that he would come back to smoke you, so he asked Nesta to book a room for me in the club.”

“I know. Nesta has told me.” Whitney took off his coat and turned to Petra, “go and bring the sober up tea prepared in the kitchen.”

I stood aside, watching Rudolf telling a lie casually without blushing or beating his heart, and seeing his mother-in-law being gentle and considerate to him, I felt a pang of pain in my heart.

Why did such a good woman marry such a hypocritical and cunning man?

Petra brought the hangover soup to Rudolf. After taking two sips, he stood up and went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes.

Whitney followed I stood in the living room, lost in thought.

Not long after, Rudolf had taken a shower and changed his clothes. He went downstairs and was about to go out.

At this time, I remembered what my mother had told me, so I said to him, “Dad, mom, I want to talk to you two.”

Hearing this, Rudolf stopped and turned to look at me. “What’s the matter?”

“Here is the thing. My mother knows that I have married Eugene, but she hasn’t met you two. She wants to find an opportunity to visit you two. I don’t know when you are free and convenient to meet each other.” I hesitated for a moment and said.

“Your mother? Then we should meet. Rudolf, when are you free?” Said granny

“You decide the time. Just tell Nesta and put it on my schedule.” Rudolf seemed to remember something and turned to look at me. “Leanna, you said you have a sister, didn’t you?”

I didn’t expect him to mention my sister. I was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

“How many siblings do you have?” He asked again.

“Hannah and I are the only two children of my parents.”

“Oh? Really?” Rudolf asked suspiciously.

“Yes, but my parents were divorced when we were very young. Father has never remarried, and my mother has married someone else, but she did not have a child. But my stepfather has a daughter.”

“Well, you and your mother arrange the meeting time. I will be there on time.” After saying that, Rudolf left the villa and went to the company.

The date of their meeting was set in the evening three days later.

At The Silver Garden.

My mother-in-law asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for my mother.

At half past seven in the evening, accompanied by Eugene, I stood at the door and waited for my mother.

Although it’s just a family gathering, I’m inexplicably nervous.

Noticing that there was something wrong with my face, Eugene whispered in my ear, “what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“No… I’m just a little nervous. You know, my mother and I don’t get along well…” I made an excuse.

Hearing this, Eugene put his hand on my shoulder and patted it gently. “Don’t be nervous. Don’t always think about the unpleasant things in the past. My mother-in-law is here to bless us today. You just need to smile.”

I nodded and saw two black cars stop at the door.

The door was opened and mother and Lyndon got out of the first car.

But the person who got off the second car surprised me.

Didn’t the elders meet today?

Why did Lorna and Otis come here?

Looking at the expression on Lorna’s face, it was obvious that she was not very happy.

After a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked behind me with hatred.

Subconsciously, I followed her gaze and saw Rudolf standing not far behind me, looking at the graceful Lorna in a white dress.
