The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Lindsey smiled back, knowing she was joking.

When she found a good point of attack, she leaned down to hit the ball while laughing out loud in a clear voice. “Because there is no shame in my heart, so frankly.”

“So, I misunderstood you.” Jesse had no intention of letting her off the hook. “But from what I understand, you and he were unusually close during Africa.”

Lindsey lifted her eyes and gave her a smirking look. “The whole medical team was close, so that means Edward liked, not just women, but men as well.”

Jesse laughed out loud, his image not even caring, and padded over to ask her gossipy questions about whether Edward had cried from exhaustion in Africa.

Lindsey was speechless for a moment, briefly telling her how Edward was doing and picking up the cue to let her have a good game.

“I’m actually quite curious as to why you can’t see him.” Jesse stopped laughing and sat on his butt on the tee. “After all this time, I can’t believe it didn’t move me at all.”

Lindsey put down her cue and sat down on the tee as well, squinting up at the blue sky outside the window. “He’s not Bruce.”

Jesse was stunned, then smiled and stopped asking her the question, turning his head to greet her as she continued to play.

She was having fun when Edward suddenly pushed in the door.

“What brings you here.” Edward said this with a look of obvious displeasure at Jesse, “I said I wouldn’t marry means I won’t marry, are you trying to force a marriage.”

“Er …” Jesse flinched and raised an eyebrow to laugh away. “Lindsey has received the invitations and has said she will definitely attend the wedding.”

Edward instantly burst out in anger at that, berating her with an almost yell. “Get out of here!”

“Why bother.” Jesse fiddled with his cue ball with good grace, a smile on his face that couldn’t have been happier. “You see, Lindsey isn’t sad at all and can’t wait for you to get married soon.”

“That’s enough!” Edward’s voice immediately softened as he realised he had lost his temper. “Please get out of here now.”

“What do you call this hospitality, if you’re kicking me out, are you kicking Lindsey out with you.” The smile in Jesse’s eyes deepened and she stepped back in a feigned panic, hiding behind Lindsey, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

He hadn’t liked the union in the first place, and if she hadn’t known about it beforehand, she was afraid she would have misunderstood it too.

Edward’s eyes met Lindsey’s in the air, and in the next instant he turned his face away, resuming his usual calm and collected demeanour. “Jesse, I have work to attend to, please go back first.”

The smile on Jesse’s face instantly faded and was replaced with an indifferent expression. “Now that we’ve all met, I might as well get to the point.”

After a pause, she put down her clubs and walked over to retrieve her bag, drawing out an invitation. “This is the invitation to the wedding, you can choose to come or not.”

“What does that mean.” Edward’s face darkened again. “It was someone’s idea.”

Jesse shrugged his shoulders and fluttered out of the rec room with his own bag.

Lindsey was laughing so hard she couldn’t show it as she put her clubs down.

There is a sudden silence as Edward walks to the window with his hands behind his back, his voice rising in a low whisper. “I don’t want a marriage like this.”

Jesse was a recognised celebrity in the world’s family circles, and a guest of His Excellency the President, and had many marriage proposals on her doorstep. He just couldn’t figure out how she could see herself.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Lindsey raised an eyebrow, thinking that even if you wanted Jesse she might not marry him, but he held his tongue in time.

After a long time, Edward turned around with a bitter smile and looked at Lindsey for a moment, “Isn’t it particularly sad that you don’t have a choice even though it’s not what you want?”

Lindsey said with a sympathetic smile, “Maybe that’s not such a bad thing, whether it’s interest or relationship, if it can stand the test of three years, it’s most likely true love.”

Edward felt even more hurt at his words and fought back his sadness, turning the conversation back to business. He’d been with her for three years, wasn’t that true love?

Lindsey got up and took out the project she had brought with her to discuss the project with him.

If Jesse had known Edward’s reaction, he would have laughed his ass off.

It was almost noon when Lindsey received a call from Larissa, declined Edward’s offer of lunch and left Wind Entertainment in a hurry.

She really didn’t want to have too much contact with Edward, except for work. The press was pervasive and there was no telling when a picture of the two of them together would make the headlines.

That wasn’t what she wanted.

Taking a taxi back to Larissa’s flat, Lindsey smelled the food as soon as she entered and instantly had an appetite.

“Back, and I thought you were going to a couples dinner with Edward.” Larissa poked her head out of the kitchen and teased her with a smile. “Instead of a nice big meal, you had to come back and have a home-cooked meal with me.”

“Good sister, just hurry up and bring out the soup, I’m starving.” Lindsey was not amused by her teasing. “It’s the home-cooked chowder that’s the best.”

Larissa was speechless, knowing she didn’t like the constant gossip, so she stopped mentioning it.

Edward looked at her the way he had three years ago and the way he still did today. Such affectionate eyes, such a wonderful man, any other man would have surrendered a long time ago, but Lindsey, as if she couldn’t feel it.

When she was with Bruce, she could still barely explain it. But it’s been three years since they broke up, and it’s surprising that they still don’t come together, and I’m afraid they won’t come together in this lifetime.

Lindsey caught a glimpse of her expression and couldn’t help but lose her smile. “I think in those three years, you know more or less where I came from and how I ended up with Bruce.”

Larissa nodded, her expression a little unnatural.

Lindsey patted her soothingly and laughed softly out loud. “My love for him has been etched into my bones for years. He’s the one who showed me how big the world really is, how bad people can be and how warm they can be, and that I’ll never love anyone else but him.”

She walked him through the hardest road to recovery, he accompanied her through the pain of her grandfather’s passing, none of which can be replaced or erased by any one person.

She always had a good idea of how he felt about her and how The Grant family people treated her.

“Ugh. … I feel so sorry for you all.” Larissa smiled bitterly. “And for you too, such a good relationship, and it’s over.”

“It’s all in the past.” Lindsey took a deep breath and greeted her with dinner.

Larissa couldn’t say anything else, so she changed the subject and asked her about the fund.

Lindsey briefly described the progress she was making today, and her eyebrows lit up for a moment in a radiant, trance-inducing way.

Larissa had an interview to do this afternoon, and Lindsey had to go to the website’s headquarters to discuss the promotion of the charity project, so she went with her.

After the car left the neighbourhood, Larissa suddenly lowered her voice as if remembering something: “I heard a gossip yesterday at an event in C. Would you like to know?”

“What gossip?” Lindsey had a hunch it wasn’t good. “It’s not about me again, is it.”

Larissa shook her head and leaned over to whisper against her ear. “Bruce and Aurora aren’t registered or married, and I hear Aurora’s a virgin.”

Lindsey listened and looked at her with a shocked expression. “That can’t be right!”

“I didn’t think it was possible either, that’s why I said it was gossip.” Larissa smiled indifferently. “But if it’s true, it would be fun to make a scene about it.”

How could he be married for three years and not even touch Aurora.

The only possibility was that he didn’t accept the marriage and had just been holding back.

But what could he do but hold back, Jesse had told of the situation of The Palvin family today and Kaley’s expulsion from B, yet Old Mr. Grant could not be driven out of business.

He took the heat out of them and disciplined Kaley.

But Aurora is still living in the old house and the marriage between The Palvin family and The Grant family is still on the cards.

At this point, if she continues to dally with Bruce without knowing what’s going on, it will only make things worse.

As soon as Lindsey and Larissa got out of the car, they were surrounded by countless reporters and the scene was out of control.

“May I ask Miss Lindsey, will you be making a comeback next.”

“Miss Lindsey, I heard that your ex-boyfriend is in the middle of a divorce, does this have anything to do with you.”

“Miss Lindsey, what is your relationship with Edward.”

“May I ask what is next for Miss Lindsey, is she making a comeback.”

“Miss Lindsey …”

There were more and more reporters, and the security guards sent out by the website were obviously a bit inadequate.

Lindsey was worried about these people hurting Larissa by mistake, so she had to hold her arms wide and securely shield her behind herself.

“Lindsey, you can trust me, I really didn’t inform these reporters.” Larissa, too, was dumbfounded by the scene before her; it wasn’t in the itinerary. “I don’t know, how come there are so many people all of a sudden.”

Lindsey is not the same little girl she was three years ago, who either ducked out of the way or let Bruce step in when she encountered a reporter.

She also knew that Larissa couldn’t have done that.

After all, she was now a signed artist with Wind Entertainment and could use a million times better methods than this if she wanted to promote herself.

No one but Aurora would be so impatient to see her laugh. How could Lindsey not know that Edward had deliberately denied her access to the stairs at the last charity show just to make her look bad?

She didn’t stop her because she was really angry at her and wanted to see if Bruce would defend her or not.

It was clear that she was a stranger to Bruce, both three years ago and now.

Even if she lived in the Grant Residence, she would still not be the young lady of The Grant family.

Patting her soothingly on the shoulder, Lindsey pushed her behind the security guard and waved her hand graciously at the crowd of reporters.

As the noise faded, Lindsey reached out to take the microphone from the reporter and said with a light smile, “Lindsey appreciates the love from the press, I think many of you are wondering where I’ve been for the past three years and my relationship with The Grant family.”

At these words, the room fell silent.

Lindsey kept the smile on her face and spoke again, “Let’s start with the second question, because you guys are more curious about that.”
