Billionaire’s Mistress

Eugene’s pov

Eugene’s POV

After Leanna fell asleep, I quietly walked out of the bedroom to the hall on the first floor.

When I saw the housekeeper, I asked, “have Mr. and Mrs. come back?”

“Master, you haven’t gone to bed yet? Mr. and Mrs. just came back and went upstairs.” Said the butler.

Hearing this, I turned around and went to the two floor, arriving at the door of my parents’ bedroom.

“Knock, knock, knock.” soon, my mother’s voice of Whitney came from inside. “Who is it?”

“Mom, it’s me.” I opened the door and walked in.

My mother had taken a shower and changed into white silk pajamas. I was sitting in front of the dresser and applying skin care products to maintain her health.

When she saw me, she immediately stopped what she was doing, turned around and sat in front of me. “Your father and I just came back. I thought you were asleep. Sit down and tell me what happened to that girl. How do you know her? How about her family background? Why didn’t you tell me before? Your father is a little angry about this. You have to coax him later.”

“Mom, I really can’t answer your questions. Where is my dad? Is he taking a shower?” I turned to look at the direction of the bathroom and heard the sound of water.

“Well, it should be almost done. You can tell me first what’s going on between you two?”

“Mom, Leanna is a good woman. Although her family background is not as rich as ours, I really like her, so I hope you can accept her.”

“We don’t accept it.” father came out of the bathroom in pajamas, with a dark face full of displeasure.

I turned to look at him and found that his hair was still dripping. It could be seen that he had washed his head and scolded me before his hair was dried.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking about. You saw Edmund get married and you also get married. Do you think that your grandfather will treat you as he treats Edmund after you bring a wife back?” My father stared at me angrily.

My mother said as she wiped his hair with a towel, “You know that old master doesn’t like our two bedrooms. He used to like my brother, but what about the result? My brother didn’t run away with other women, and he lost his life. As for my sister-in-law, she seemed to have a good time these years, and old master also gave her face. Everyone knows that she was immersed in the past and didn’t come out, which made their relationship so bad. In my opinion, it’s our family who is in harmony with each other I feel better now. ”

“What do you know?” The father glared at my mother and said, “who is in charge of The King group now? It’s him, Edmund! That’s the good thing that old master likes him. Edmund married the only heir of the Fisher group. Our family is harmonious. What’s the result? Look what kind of woman your son has brought to you.”

My mother was rendered speechless, so she just shut up and stopped arguing with him.

“Brat, let me ask you, who is that woman? I warn you, don’t lie to me. I’ll find someone to investigate.” My father stared at me with a fierce look and asked.

After he finished, I said slowly, “she is just an ordinary person, not a lady from a famous family. You don’t have to imagine it.”

“You…” he stared, “are you going to piss me off to death? I don’t care. You’ll deal with her tomorrow. The King family doesn’t want such a daughter-in-law.”

“Oh? Really?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at my mother. “Mom, don’t you want it?”

“Eugene, you are the second master of the King family. You should know that it’s very important for people like us to have a family of equal social rank.” She persuaded him gently.

“Well, you don’t accept this daughter-in-law. It seems that you don’t want the baby in her belly either. I’ll divorce her tomorrow and let her go back wherever she comes.” Then I turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait a minute. What did you just say? The baby in her belly?”

“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, you don’t want this daughter-in-law anymore. It’s none of your business.” I said casually.

“You brat, stop!”My father shouted, “are you serious? Is she pregnant with your child?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can call the doctor.”

“How is that possible? Didn’t the doctor say that you shouldn’t be too excited about your heart disease?”

“Yes, I also thought I couldn’t. But in fact, I’m standing in front of you now. So, do you want this grandson or not? If you don’t want her, I’ll send her away tomorrow.” I began to threaten them.

“Yes, of course.” Mother said and pushed Father to let him express his attitude.

“Well, I’m almost exhausted after a busy day. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

“Then I won’t disturb your rest.”

After saying good night, I walked out of the bedroom and turned to the study.

There were two study rooms on the second floor of the villa, and one was close to the main bedroom, which was used by father.

The other one is near my bedroom, where I usually deal with company affairs.

Because of my poor health, I seldom went to the company since the company was on track. Most of the time, I directed my subordinates to work by remote control in the study.

That’s why no servant is allowed to enter my study except the housekeeper who will clean it every day.

It was already half past one in the morning.

I pushed the door open and walked in.

I walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a new phone. i opened it, edited a message, and sent it to a number without a name saved. “I’ve done what you asked me to do. I hope I can do what you promised me.”

Leanna’s POV

The next morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door.

When I opened her eyes and was about to get up to open the door, i saw that the door of the small bedroom was opened and Eugene came out in pajamas.

“Lie down. I’ll open the door.” He said and walked towards the door.

I know he probably lied down because he didn’t want to be found out that I slept with him.

“Petra, what’s up?”

The maid named Petra stretched her head and said with a smile, “here is the thing. Mrs. said that she would go to the mansion to serve tea to the elders today, so she asked me to wake you up in advance to make preparations.”

“Well, I see. You go downstairs first. We’ll be there soon.” After saying that, Eugene closed the door without waiting for Petra’s response.

I heard their conversation in the room and got out of bed.

“Don’t worry. We just go to the mansion to serve tea.” Eugene said with a smile.

“Can I… not go?” I asked cautiously.

Going to the mansion means meeting Edmund. How can I not be nervous?

Eugene put his hand on my shoulder, sighed and comforted, “I know what you are worried about. Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”

I’m still a little uneasy, but I know very well that I can’t avoid meeting you today.

After all, there is still a long way to go. Even if I avoid today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

The cousin relationship between Eugene and Edmund meant that as long as I was the daughter-in-law of the King family, I couldn’t avoid Edmund.

Since I had to face it sooner or later, it was better to get used to it as soon as possible.

After washing up, I went downstairs with Eugene.

Rudolf and his wife had been sitting in the dining room for a while.

I stood next to Eugene and entered the dinning hall. I saw Rudolf reading a newspaper with her head down, while Whitney was sitting in a chair with an elegant and noble look on her face.

“Good morning, Dad, mom.” Eugene walked to the dining table and greeted them.

Rudolf snorted without raising his head.

Whitney kept looking at me and said unhappily, “morning? Don’t you know what time it is now? What day is it today? We have to go to the mansion. If we are late, we will be blamed again.”

Although she said this to Eugene, I know she is blaming me.

I lowered my head and explained to them apologetically, “uncle, aunt, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I took up time, so I went downstairs late.”

“Miss Leanna, right?” Whitney raised her eyebrows slightly and said arrogantly, “we came back late last night, so we didn’t have time to talk to you. I heard from Eugene that you two got the marriage certificate without our permission, didn’t you?”

I vaguely sensed the reproach in her tone. I opened my mouth and was about to explain, but Eugene said, “didn’t I say that yesterday? I didn’t tell you because I wanted to give your parents a surprise…”

“Shut up. I’m asking Miss Leanna.”

“Auntie, you can just call me Leanna. I got the marriage certificate with Eugene and didn’t tell two elders in advance. It’s indeed our fault. By rights, I should have visited you before this. But Eugene said that he wanted to give you a surprise, so…” when I said this, I looked at Eugene apologetically.

I’m sorry that you have to take the blame.

Otherwise, I really don’t know how to explain our abnormal behavior.

Whitney didn’t go on with her investigation, perhaps because she saw that I apologized sincerely.

She looked me up and down, “Leanna, I didn’t have the time to ask you some basic information last night. Now that you are the member of the King family, I have to ask you some questions. I don’t know what kind of business your family does, and who is your father? You know that people like us are always stared at by countless pairs of eyes. If we suddenly meet a daughter-in-law with an unknown origin, I can’t answer others’ questions. ”

Her words were not euphemistic, and even directly hurt people’s self-esteem.

But I know in my heart that I may have to hear such words many times in the future, and not from anyone else.

After all, what she said was right. The daughter-in-law of a rich family like the King family was really eye-catching.

Seeing this, Eugene was about to help me out, but this time I stopped him, “Auntie, to tell you the truth, I am not from a rich family, not even a complete family. My parents divorced when I and my sister Hannah were very young. Although my father took the custody, he gambled all year round and did not care about us at all. I was living with Hannah since childhood, and I grew up with the support of my mother.”

I paused and continued, “I know that I don’t match Eugene in terms of family background. If I could choose, I also hope that I could be born in a good family and have parents who love me. However, I don’t have the right to choose my own birth, so even if I feel that the God is unfair, I can only bravely face it. But fortunately, the god later let me meet Eugene, and gave me a chance to choose my own life. I hope I can seize this opportunity to be a member of this family. Not for the wealth and honor of this family, but for the happiness of this family. ”

After I finished, I raised my head to look at Rudolf, only to find that he was no longer focusing on the newspaper in his hand, but on me.

“You are a good talker. I wonder if you are telling the truth.” Whitney snorted.

“Whether it’s true or not, you’ll understand when you get along with each other in the future.” I’m neither humble nor pushy.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Well, since you said so, as the parents, we can’t be cruel enough to break up the couple. But I hope you know that since you are married to the King family, you have to follow the rules of our King family. I know that you are from a poor family, so you don’t understand a lot of things, but you have to remember that you are now the wife of Eugene, so your responsibility is to take good care of him from now on. You should put him first. Do you understand ? ”

“Yes, I understand.” I promise.

Whitney’s face softened a little. “Well, don’t stand there anymore. Just sit down and have breakfast before you go to the mansion.”

Hearing this, Eugene looked at Rudolf, who was reading a newspaper, and asked, “Dad?”

“Why did you call me?” Rudolf looked at him with a frown and said impatiently, “your mother asked you to sit down. Why are you still standing there?”

“You are always in charge of our family. Even if my mother says something, we have to wait for your permission.” Eugene said and pulled out the chair for me like a gentleman.

At this time, the housekeeper ordered the servants to serve breakfast. I was still in the first few months of pregnancy, so I couldn’t eat too much. After eating a small bowl of porridge, I lost her appetite.

Seeing that I put down the bowl and chopsticks, Whitney immediately frowned and asked, “what’s wrong? Just eat this little? Is it because the food doesn’t suit your appetite? The housekeeper, go to the kitchen and ask who prepared the breakfast today and ask him not to go to work tomorrow.”

Hearing this, I quickly waved my hand and said, “aunt, I’m sorry. It’s not because of the chef. It’s because of myself… I’m not feeling well now and can’t eat anything.”

“How can you not eat? You are not eating for yourself. You are eating for the baby in your belly.” Hearing this, Whitney turned to the housekeeper and ordered, “go and ask the kitchen to fry an egg. Don’t put too much oil in it.”

“No, Aunt. It’s… it’s… it’s…” as soon as I said that, I felt nauseated and quickly covered my mouth, retching.

Seeing this, Eugene immediately helped me up from my seat and went to the bathroom.

When I came out of the bathroom and went upstairs to change my clothes, I followed them to the old house by car.
