Chapter 30
When I saw this scene, I only felt a “buzz” in my mind. I was stunned and froze in place. A very bad premonition struck me.
The girl cried for a long time before she stopped. She raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face. When she turned around, she found me, and her face became a little embarrassed.
“Edmund, you have a guest.”
Edmund also noticed that I was there. He turned to me and said, “go upstairs and have a rest.”
When I came to my senses, I felt mixed feelings.
Why did you ask me to go upstairs?
Shouldn’t he introduce us to each other?
Seeing me standing there still, Edmund frowned and ordered Sage, “Sage, send her upstairs.”
Sage was very observant. Hearing this order, she immediately went upstairs and held my hand.
I just felt my legs weak, and a feeling of suffocation pressed on my heart, making me unable to breathe.
When they returned to the bedroom on the second floor, Sage saw that I was upset, so he comforted, “Miss, don’t think too much. That might be President’s cousin.”
“Really?” I stared at Sage and wanted to believe her.
“Miss, have a rest first. I’ll go downstairs to pour tea for the guest.” Sage comforted me and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute…”
But I couldn’t finish my words.
Sage understood what I meant, so she gave me a reassuring look and said, “I’ll keep an eye on.”
“Thank you.” After these two words, I lay down.
After Sage left, about an hour later, I heard the sound of car engine downstairs.
Did that girl leave?
Thinking of this possibility, I went downstairs immediately.
Sage was about to go upstairs.
“Miss, why are you downstairs?” She was a little surprised to see me.
“Where is Mr.?” I didn’t see Edmund in the hall, so I asked him in a hurry.
“Sir, he…” Sage hesitated for a moment and said, “maybe he sent Miss Fisher home. It’s not safe for a girl to go home alone at night.”
“Is that so?”
“Sir asked you to sleep first. You don’t have to wait for him.” Sage added.
How could I fall asleep? I just dragged my tired body upstairs.
In the soft quilt, I closed my eyes and wanted to force myself to sleep.
But my mind was full of the scene that the Miss Fisher was crying in Edmund’s arms.
Edmund, who had always been cold, seemed to treat her differently. He coaxed her gently with a gentle look on his face.
Was she really his sister?
Why didn’t he mention it to me.
The more I thought about it, the more restless I became.
I tossed and turned all night. I didn’t fall asleep until morning.
During this period, Edmund didn’t come back.
The night passed like this. The next morning, I woke up from my dream. I turned around and found Edmund was not around.
I picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was seven o’clock in the morning.
Edmund usually didn’t get up at this time.
But now he was not in bed, which only meant that he did not come back last night.
Not only did he not come back last night, but Edmund did not return to the villa in the following days.
I called him several times, but Oarlan answered.
The only reply I got was that the CEO was busy and didn’t have time to answer the phone.
Finally, at dusk, when I called Edmund again, a sweet and clear female voice came through, “Hello, are you looking for Edmund? He just went to the bathroom.”
Hearing this voice, my heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling spread in my heart.
“Excuse me, who are you?” Holding back the uneasiness in my heart, I asked in a trembling voice.
“I’m Edmund’s fiancee. Please wait a moment. Edmund is back. I’ll ask him to answer the phone…”
“Edmund, your phone is ringing. I answered it for you. It’s a lady.”
When I heard the three words “fiancee”, my heart suddenly contracted, and an indescribable pain spread in my heart.
How could it be?
His fiancee?
“What’s the matter?” The familiar voice came, low and steady.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
I tried to calm myself down and make my voice sound as normal as possible, but I still couldn’t help sobbing.
“Who… Who is that girl?”
“You want to know?” He asked.
I’m a little flustered. Of course I want to know the identity of that girl, but if she is really his fiancee, what should I do?
What about my baby?
But if I don’t know the identity of that girl, can I rest assured?
“I’ll go to the villa tonight.” Perhaps he knew what was bothering me, so he continued before I could answer.
“I… I’m waiting for you…” before I finished speaking, the man on the other end of the phone had already hung up.
Looking at the phone screen that was hung up, I felt a sense of nausea surging up.
I rushed into the bathroom and retched again.
Every minute and second was a torture.
I sat on the sofa and looked at the clock on the wall moving around.
Sage sighed and said, “Miss, don’t think too much. President will be back soon. He will give you an explanation.”
“Sage, do you think he likes me?”
“Yes, of course I do. Sir is so kind to you. How could he not like you?” Sage said in a hurry.
“But that girl said she was his fiancee.”
“Well… Maybe there is some misunderstanding. President is coming back soon. He will give you an explanation.”
In fact, since Edmund left that day, I had a hunch that the relationship between him and that girl might not be that simple.
In particular, the girl seemed to be very dependent on Edmund, and Edmund was very gentle to her.
In addition, the girl was well-dressed and elegant, so it was easy to tell that she was a lady from a rich family at a glance. Therefore, it was not suspicious that she was Edmund’s fiancee.
In comparison, I’m more like a beautiful flower raised in the back garden by Edmund. He built the garden to protect me from wind and rain, but there is a huge gap between us. We don’t deserve each other.
The door of the villa was pushed open from the outside.
Almost reflexively, I quickly stood up from the sofa and looked at the door.
However, I didn’t wait for Edmund, but Oarlan.
“Oarlan, why are you here at night?”
Oarlan walked straight to me and said hesitantly, “Leanna, the President… Has something urgent to deal with and can’t make it.”
Hearing this, I felt as if my strength had been drained. I fell down on the sofa dejectedly.
“Miss…” Sage rushed to me with a worried look.
I waved to her helplessly and looked at Oarlan. “Is he… So busy? He doesn’t even have time to explain to me? Or does he disdain to do that at all?”
“Leanna…” Oarlan felt sorry.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and then asked, “Okay, if he doesn’t want to come, then let me ask you, is that Miss Fisher really his fiancee?”
“Well…” he was in a dilemma. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Leanna, the CEO likes you…”
” like me?” A sarcastic smile flashed across my eyes.
“His engagement with Miss Fisher has been made by his father since a long time ago. The president has never taken it seriously. He just took it as a joke of his father. Miss Fisher is young and has been studying abroad, so the two families have never mentioned it. Now Miss Fisher has reached twenty years old, and she is the only daughter of Mr. Fisher. In the past few years, Mr. Fisher is not in good health, so he wants to help Miss get married as soon as possible… “Oarlan explained.
But I don’t want to listen at all. “Since he has been engaged for a long time, why did he bring me here…”
“Mr. has never thought that the Fisher family will really fulfill this engagement. He…”
“In that case, he promised to come back tonight. Why didn’t he come?” I don’t believe that he is really so unwilling to marry the Fisher family’s daughter. If he is really unwilling, who can force him?
“He was about to come, but Miss Fisher suddenly felt uncomfortable and the CEO sent her to the hospital.” Oarlan explained.
Hearing this, I smiled bitterly. “So, he went with her.”
“Leanna, you… Don’t think too much. Believe me. Even if Mr. really married Miss Fisher, you are still the only hostess in this family.” Oarlan said firmly.
“Really? I’m the hostess of this house. What about the Miss Fisher?” I think it’s ironic.
“She won’t come to this villa again. The CEO will arrange another place for her.”
“So that’s how it is now, right? I’m waiting for him at this house every day to be a mistress who can’t be seen forever… Is this his plan?”
“At least, our CEO has never thought of giving up on you.” Oarlan said in a low voice. It sounded like comfort, but more like a reminder.
“Does he think I can’t live without him?” Edmund wants to keep me as a pet. Do you want me to thank him for not abandoning me?
“Of course you won’t, but your father will!”
When he suddenly mentioned my father, my expression suddenly changed. “What do you mean by that? What’s wrong with my father?”
“You probably don’t know that he took eight million from the CEO before, but he lost it soon. Then he asked the CEO for two more times, each time the amount of money was not small. The CEO never told you this because he didn’t want you to feel that you owed him, and he didn’t want you to feel inferior in front of him because of such a father.”
“Is what you said true?”
I looked at Oarlan in disbelief. I didn’t expect that I would owe Edmund so much unconsciously.
“So, don’t think that Mr. is so sorry for you. He really loves you, but he is also difficult to deal with something. If you still have a little conscience, don’t force him.”
It is not until now that I understand that he is Edmund’s man. With Edmund’s salary, he naturally has to consider everything for him.
“Besides, the president of the Moor family has given an order to deal with it. I believe that The Moor family will fall down soon. He will get back at you for the humiliation you have suffered.”
Hearing that, a bitter smile appeared on my face. I opened my mouth and sobbed in a trembling voice. I said word by word, “then please thank Mr. Edmund for me.”
Then I went straight to the two floor.
After returning to my room, I took out the test result from my bag. Looking at it, I smiled and cried again.
Finally, I picked up the lighter and burned the test report clean.
Lying on the bed, I touched my flat belly, and my heart was bleeding.
“, what should we do? Your father abandoned us…”
