Chapter 457 Breakfast Lovingly Prepared by Edison
Edison came with breakfast for Ziana. Little did he expect to find something like that.
It left him feeling very unhappy.
He suddenly hated Ziana very much. He hated her favoritism toward Boris. He hated her for deceiving him along with Boris.
‘She must have known for a long time that Boris isn’t intellectually challenged, but she didn’t tell me!
Why?’ Edison thought.
He was displeased and resentful. He did not understand it.
Why did Ziana only have Boris in her heart, even though Boris had hurt her so badly during their three years of marriage?
Edison felt it was unfair. He couldn’t bear it anymore and punched the wall hard!
“Bang.”
He was gasping for breath. His hand hurt badly, but his heart hurt even more!
After venting, Edison waited for a long time before he calmed down. He walked slowly to Ziana’s room and raised his hand to knock on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
“Coming.” Her gentle voice came from inside. “Why did you…”
Seeing Edison, Ziana stopped abruptly, and the smile on her face froze.
Edison knew what was going on, but he still asked jokingly, “Surprised to see me?”
“Yes, I’m quite surprised.” Ziana quickly regained her composure, smiled, and gently adjusted her nightgown. “What are you doing here?”
Edison’s eyes then fell on her.
She was wearing a milky green satin nightgown, loose yet sexy, made of high-quality fabric that faintly outlined her curvaceous figure. Her bare shoulders were round and fair, and her beautiful hair fell sensually on them, exuding a lazy and sexy charm that perfectly balanced innocence and maturity, creating a conflicting beauty.
Suddenly, Edison narrowed his eyes.
On the back of her slender and alluring neck, there were several obvious love bites!
“What are you looking at?” Ziana felt confused and asked when Edison did not reply.
Edison took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest. He said calmly, “Nothing special. I’m here with breakfast for you.”
“…”
“Don’t tell me you’ve eaten.” Edison interrupted what she was going to say. He raised his eyebrows and said, “It looks like you just got out of bed.”
Ziana smiled awkwardly. It was true that she just got up. If she hadn’t thought that Boris had returned, she would have been probably still lying in bed. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Don’t just stand there. Get changed and wash up for breakfast.” With that, Edison walked into the room, ignoring Ziana’s awkwardness.
Ziana watched his back as she said, “I’m not hungry yet. I want to sleep a little longer.”
“It’s already so late and you still want to sleep?” Edison had already put the breakfast on the table. He winked at her and said, “Come on, I specially bought you some Wesbruck-style food for breakfast. When you’re in Wesbruck, you have to try the authentic breakfast here.”
Then, he suddenly asked, “By the way, were you waiting for someone just now?”
Ziana nodded. “Yes, Yudel said he would buy me breakfast.”
Edison’s eyes darkened slightly. “That’s unfortunate. I should have come earlier so we can have breakfast with Mr. Scott.”
Seeing Ziana still not moving, he said helplessly, “Do you want me to help you wash up?”
“No.” Ziana gathered her thoughts. “I’ll be back soon. You can leave now if you can’t wait.”
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you. I have something to tell you.”
Ziana pursed her lips. She went into the bathroom and sent Boris a text message, telling him that
Edison was in her room now.
After that, she took her time to wash up before she walked out of the bathroom and sat down at the table..
“Try this.” Edison took some food for Ziana and put it on her plate. “It’s delicious, not too sweet.”
After thanking him, Ziana didn’t start eating but instead asked, “What do you want to say to me? Actually, you’re engaged now and you shouldn’t be meeting with me alone.”
“The engagement banquet has been canceled,” Edison interrupted her and said with a faint smile, “My engagement with Winifred has also been canceled.”
Ziana was very surprised. “Why?”
She had been making love with Boris last night and hadn’t paid attention to what had happened.
outside.
While she had expected the engagement banquet to be canceled, the cancellation of the engagement itself was beyond her expectations.
Edison explained to her, “Winifred’s scandal has become public knowledge. In order to maintain the face and dignity of the Western Royalty, my father refused to accept a woman with a tarnished reputation as his daughter-in-law. So, the engagement was called off.”
Generally, aristocrats from royal families were very concerned about reputation, so it was understandable that the king of Wesbruck would do that.
Ziana said quietly, “It’s a pity for both of you.”
“To be honest…” Edison looked at her and said seriously, “I’m actually relieved that the engagement has been called off. It wasn’t my idea to marry Winifred in the first place. Winifred had an accident on the island which traumatized her. That’s why she and Duke Bourne both became entangled with me. I have no feelings for her at all. The one I truly love, from the beginning to the end, has always been you.”
“Edison!” Ziana frowned and responded, “I’ve told you that you’re out of the game.”
Edison smiled bitterly, “I know, but I’m not willing to give up. I just want to fight for myself a little longer.”
Ziana said lightly, “Sorry.”
Edison sighed, “You don’t have to feel sorry for me. I already guessed your answer before I came here, so I don’t feel too upset now. Anyway, let’s stop talking about this. Are you still planning to leave for Oslosall today? If you are not in a hurry, why don’t you stay a few more days and let me show you around Wesbruck as your tour guide.”
“No, thanks.” Ziana refused.
“Is it impossible for us to be friends if we can’t be lovers?” Edison looked at her, feeling aggrieved. “You’ve been rejecting me all along, and it really hurts me. I know I don’t have a chance with you, but I just want to do what I should do as your friend here.”
“Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I didn’t bring Ewen with me this time. He’s been very attached to me lately and can’t stay away from me for too long, or he’ll get upset,” Zlana used Ewen as an excuse as she explained to Edison, “I’ll definitely come back and let you be my tour guide when I have a chance in the future.”
“Okay then.” Edison knew when to stop. He handed her the milk and said, “There’s still some follow-up work to deal with regarding Winifred’s matter, so I may not have time to see you off when you leave today. Now, let’s raise a glass of milk to wish you a good journey.”
With that, Edison raised the milk and gestured toward Ziana.
Ziana just wanted Edison to leave quickly because she still hadn’t received a reply from Boris. She was wondering if Boris had seen her text message.
If Boris hadn’t seen the message and came back while Edison was still around, Edison would find out that Boris was pretending to be intellectually challenged, wouldn’t he?
Thinking that, she raised her milk and clinked glasses with Edison. “Okay, let’s wish you a smooth. solution to all your problems as well.”
“Thank you.” Edison took a sip and said to her, “Try it. This milk is very delicious.”
Ziana took a sip as he said. To her surprise, it wasn’t too sweet or too thick. The taste was really good.
“See?” Edison boasted, “I didn’t lie to you, did 1?”
“It’s delicious.” Ziana took another sip. The milk was so delicious that she couldn’t help wanting more.
Edison glanced at his watch. “Just enjoy your breakfast. I have something to do at the palace, so I’ll leave now.”
Ziana was eager for him to leave. She got up to see him off. “Okay, go ahead.”
“Ziana.” Edison took a deep look at her. “Bon voyage.”
After watching Edison leave, Ziana breathed a sigh of relief. She closed the door and called Boris.
Boris quickly answered.
“Has that annoying guy left?” Boris asked straightforwardly.
Ziana was amused by what Boris called Edison. She chuckled and said, “Yes, he’s left. When are you coming back?”
“So you were still thinking about me?” Boris sarcastically taunted, “I thought you only cared about your new man and forgot about me!”
Hearing that, Ziana sald, “I haven’t planned to find a new man yet, but if you want me to…”
“Are you asking for trouble?” Boris snorted and chuckled. “If you ever have any new man, I’ll kill every one of them. And if you think I’m getting old and annoying…”
“What? Can I replace you with a new one?”
“Well, you’ll have to put up with me then because I’ll stay with you for the rest of my life.”
“If so, that would be annoying.” Ziana laughed loudly. She picked up the milk on the table and took several more sips. “Come back now, or I’ll have someone else stay with me.”
“Alright,” Boris said lazily, “get into bed and wait for me. If you dare to think about another man, I’ll teach you a good lesson
