Billionaire’s Mistress

Leanna’s pov

Leanna’s POV

Rudolf, Eugene and their son followed old master to the study, while Myrna went back to the room with Ophelia.

Whitney went to the garden to have tea with me.

After the servants served the tea, they all left. Whitney turned around and glared at her. “You see, it’s just because you don’t have a good family, so everyone has to use it to make a fuss. Happy events are also something that can’t be seen in others’ eyes.”

I know she still cares about my humble origin and doesn’t deserve Eugene. She just lowered her head and stood aside without saying anything.

“Why can’t you say something? Just like a stuffy block. Look at Myrna. She is so talkative and makes old master happy. I really don’t know what Eugene likes about you.”

I know clearly that there is no place for me to speak in this place.

When I heard Whitney compare me to Myrna, I suddenly thought of Edmund.

Probably, Edmund also made a comparison and finally chose Myrna.

Maybe I’m from a rich family. I don’t deserve to be a formal wife but only a mistress.

She glanced at me and said, “don’t be silly. Give me the tea.”

Hearing this, I took two steps forward, picked up the hot tea that was placed on the rosewood table by the servant, and picked up the teacup.

The hot water had already warmed the teacup. As soon as I picked up the teacup, I felt a burning pain coming from my fingertips. All of a sudden, I loosened the teacup reflexively and directly fell to the ground. The tea instantly splashed out and splashed on my feet, making me almost scream.

“What’s wrong? I asked you to serve a cup of tea, but you didn’t do it well. It was spilled all over the ground.” Seeing this, Whitney got angrier.

I endured the pain and said sorry. Then I turned around and ran to the bathroom outside the flower hall.

At this time, the door of the bathroom was open. Without saying anything, I rushed in and prepared to wash my hands and feet with cold water.

But as soon as I entered the door, i saw Edmund washing his hands by the sink.

Perhaps he heard my footsteps, he turned his head slightly and looked at the door. His deep eyes stared at me without blinking.

I didn’t expect him to be here either. Almost reflexively, I turned around and wanted to leave, but my hands and feet hurt so much that I didn’t have time to find another bathroom.

Gritting my teeth, I had no choice but to rush to the wash basin and turn on the tap. Cold water was poured directly on my scalded fingers.

But after a few seconds, my hand was suddenly grabbed by him. He looked at me coldly from top to bottom. His thin lips opened slightly, and his voice was like ice, smashing into my heart. “Who let you in? Didn’t you see me inside?”

My hand was already hurt, and now it was pinched so hard by him that it hurt even more. Tears were shining in my eyes.

“Why do you look so pitiful? Who do you want to show it to?”

“Please… Let me go.” My voice trembled, and I bit my pale lower lip to endure the pain.

“Let me go?” He sneered and didn’t let go. Instead, he held my hand more tightly. “It seems that you haven’t figured out who is the boss between us till now.”

As he spoke, he held my waist with the other hand and kissed me.

I was freaked out. The door of the bathroom was not closed. Someone might come in at any time.

If others see us like this, I’m afraid it will cause a great uproar.

I struggled to resist, but my scalded hand was held tightly by his big hand and could not move at all.

“Let… Let me go…” I blurted out a few words, and then was kissed so tight that I couldn’t breathe at all.

Was this man crazy?

I felt my heart was about to explode, and my back was sweating with anxiety.

Although it’s a kiss, we don’t have the sweetness of intimacy between lovers now. We just feel nervous and exciting when walking on the edge of a knife.

My agitation was noticed by him. He opened his mouth and bit my lower lip hard. A smell of blood came out of my mouth.

My nerves were so painful that tears finally ran out of my eyes uncontrollably.

‘bastard! This bastard!’!!

I cried so sadly that he had released me, but his eyes were still cold and full of contempt.

“Leanna, do you remember how much you owe me? It’s just interest. I’ll pay the rest slowly in the future.”

Edmund’s POV

Looking at her tearful face, a trace of pity flashed through my eyes, but in the end, my reason told me that this woman was too deceptive. I was cheated once, and I won’t do it again.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the bathroom door. A servant came in with scald ointment. “The Second Mrs said you were scalded by hot water…”

As soon as the servant came in, she was stunned at first and then greeted me, “Master is here.”

I didn’t want to talk to the servant, but my eyes fell on the scald ointment in her hand. I frowned and asked lightly, “what’s in your hand?”

“Oh, this is the scald ointment. Second mastress was scalded by hot water just now. Second mastress asked me to bring the medicine here to have a look.” The servant said and walked to Leanna.

Lowering her head, Leanna turned on the tap and washed her fingers with cold water.

“Mrs. let me see your hand.” The servant stepped forward and carefully took a look at Leanna’s hand. She carefully wiped the water stains on her hand with cotton and applied a layer of scald ointment on it.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I didn’t notice the injury on her hand until now. Looking at her little face, which had been enduring the pain, I didn’t know why I didn’t feel any happiness.

Shouldn’t I be happy to see her get hurt?

“Ah, the back of your feet is also blistered. Mrs., please wait here for a moment. I’ll fetch a stool for you to sit down, and take off your shoes and apply medicine to it.” The servant turned around and was about to leave.

After taking a step forward, he turned to look at me and said, “Master, please help me hold lady. I’ll be right there.”

I didn’t say anything. I just stared at Leanna coldly.

Leanna’s POV

I was wearing a pair of leather shoes. At that time, the hot water splashed on the back of my feet, and the water flowed into the shoes along the back of my feet, so the place wrapped by the leather shoes was also scalded. At this time, as long as I moved a little, the leather shoes rubbed against the skin of my feet, making me difficult to breathe.

Edmund was there. I didn’t want him to see me in pain, so I didn’t look at him. I just lowered my head and stared at the open tap. “Mr. Edmund, I’m fine. I won’t take up your time. Enjoy yourself.”

“Haha…” he sneered, but did not leave.

Maybe he just wanted to see me in pain, so I looked up at him and said sarcastically, “brother has been staying by my side all the time. If sister-in-law sees and misunderstands me, how should I explain it? After all, she is not born in a humble family like me who doesn’t care or my mother doesn’t love. She is not as easy to be bullied as me.”

“Don’t worry. Your sister-in-law is well-educated and generous. She won’t misunderstand us.” As he spoke, he even put his hand on my waist and deliberately made an intimate gesture.

His touch made my face turn red in an instant. I moved aside to stay away from him, but the pain on the back of my feet was like a needle pricking. I took a deep breath and didn’t dare to move again.

We just stood in front of the wash basin. If he didn’t leave, I couldn’t either.

Fortunately, the servant didn’t leave for too long and came back with a stool in her hand.

“Mrs. please sit down. I’ll take off your shoes.” The servant helped me to sit down and then squatted in front of me.

The servant suddenly thought of something and said, “Master, can you help hold lady? Her feet are scalded and swollen, and it’s a little difficult to take off her shoes. I’m afraid that she will be very painful. If she moves randomly, she will be hurt.”

“No… No. I won’t move.” I refused without hesitation.

“No?” Edmund raised his eyebrows and said to the servant, “Hedy, stand up.”

Hedy stood up and asked, “what’s wrong, Master?”

“Since she doesn’t want me to press her, then you press her and I’ll take off my shoes.” When he said this, a sneer involuntarily appeared on his face.

I’m so familiar with his expression. Every time I want to take revenge on someone, he will smile like this.

My heart trembled and I opened my mouth. When I was about to refuse, Hedy put his hands on my shoulders and said, “my lady, it’s a little painful. Please bear it.”

“I…” I wanted to cry but had no tears. I knew that Edmund wouldn’t let me go so easily, so I had to close my eyes and listen to God’s will.

A big hand held my feet, and the edges of the shoes rubbed against my scalded skin, making me gasp in pain.

I thought the pain would last for a long time, but I didn’t expect that it would be so fast that my shoes were taken off.

I opened my eyes and looked at Edmund in disbelief. He didn’t take the opportunity to make fun of me, but let me go so easily. This is not his style of doing things.

He stood up, turned around and washed his hands on the wash basin. Without saying a word, he walked out of the door.

At this moment, Hedy squatted down and applied the scald ointment for me. Then he asked, “Mrs., are you feeling better?”

I nodded, “much better. Thank you.”

“What do you thank me for? That’s what I should do.” Hedy smiled and continued, “but you can thank Mr. Master. Although he looks cold, in fact he is a good man. His face is cold and his heart is hot.”

“Really?” I really don’t think Edmund is such a person.

“Yes, but it won’t be long before the eldest Master changes his personality.”

“Why?” I couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Hedy looked at the door and didn’t see anyone coming over, so he covered his mouth and whispered in my ear, “because the eldest hostess has come in.

Then she smiled ambiguously again.

Yes, with Myrna, she would gradually become different from before.

Although I only met Myrna for a few times and didn’t have much contact with her, I could feel that she was a lively, enthusiastic and simple girl.

In addition, she had a good family background and good education. Perhaps only such a perfect person could match Edmund’s picky character.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that it was not wrong for me to lose to Myrna.

This world has always been realistic, but I haven’t seen it clearly.

She thought that Edmund liked her, so she could pledge vows of love to him for the rest of her life.

But from the beginning to the end, when did Edmund show his will to live with me for the rest of his life?

After all, I’m too self righteous.

Maybe Edmund just wanted to keep me as a pet and tease me when he was in a good mood.

My thoughts drifted away involuntarily. It was not until Hedy called me several times that I came to my senses in a daze. “What’s wrong?”

“Mrs., what are you thinking about? Let me help you out. Mrs. Second are still worried.” Hedy said as he helped me up from the chair and walked out.

One of my feet was scalded and swollen, so I couldn’t wear shoes. In addition, I applied medicine on it, so I had to let that foot be exposed outside. I put my hand on Hedy’s shoulder and jumped out of the bathroom with the other foot.

When he walked into the living room, Eugene happened to come downstairs from the second floor. Seeing this, his expression changed and he hurried forward to ask, “what’s going on? What happened?”

“It’s okay. I was scalded by the hot water. Don’t worry.” I said with a smile, pretending to be relaxed.

“It’s so hot. Why do you say it’s okay?” His eyes were full of pity. Without saying anything, he picked me up and walked out.

Whitney also came out of the garden house at this time. Seeing this, she immediately stopped him and asked, “Eugene, where are you going?”

“Leanna was scalded. I’ll take her to the hospital.” Eugene said without looking back.

Eugene took me to the hospital to deal with the wound and then went home directly. we found that his parents had already returned home. We couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
