Chapter 29
I moved my lips slightly and wanted to explain, “my friend asked me to come here. I didn’t know he was here. If I knew…”
“Does it hurt?” He interrupted my explanation.
Subconsciously, I covered my injured left face with my hand and shook my head gently, not daring to say it hurt.
He sneered and stretched out his hand, pinching my swollen face with his slender fingers.
“Ouch…” I winced in pain and took a deep breath.
“What?” I was stunned, as if I was guessing what he meant.
“Or you don’t want to?” When he said this, his eyes were filled with coldness.
Hearing this, my heart suddenly tightened.
Without any hesitation, I turned around and strode towards the box.
Otis were still there. He sat on the chair in low spirits and drank himself.
Hearing the footsteps into the box, he immediately looked up and asked, “what are you doing here?” He glared at me.
Without saying a word, I walked up to him, raised my hand, and slapped him across the face. I almost used all my strength to slap hard on his face, which was slightly red because of drinking.
“Otis, listen to me carefully. I have already paid back all the break-up fees your mother gave me with interest. Yes, they are paid with the money I earned in the nightclub. I don’t owe you anything. Please stay away from me from now on. I don’t want to see you again!” I rubbed my numb hand.
After saying that, I didn’t look at his face anymore. Instead, I turned around and walked outside.
I almost ran to the elevator. I wanted to tell Edmund that I slapped Otis.
I’m no longer a pushover.
Unfortunately, he was no longer in the elevator. Only Evelyn, who had just returned from the bathroom, was looking around for me.
“Leanna, where have you been? Why didn’t I see you when I went to the bathroom?” Seeing me running over, Evelyn grabbed me and asked.
“I’m going to fight back.” I’m not aggrieved at all now. Although my face is still burning, I’m in a good mood.
“Fight back? What ” Evelyn didn’t understand.
“I just returned to the box and slapped Otis.” When I said this, my eyes were still shining with the light of successful revenge.
It’s not until now that I realize that revenge is more enjoyable than forgiveness.
When we came out of the restaurant, Evelyn proposed to invite me to dinner as an apology for cheating me out on behalf of Otis today.
But I declined her kindness politely because I was thinking about Edmund.
We separated at the door of the restaurant. Evelyn took a taxi home, and I walked to the roadside and took out my phone to call Edmund.
A sudden sound of brake came to my ears.
She looked up and saw a black Porsche parking in front of her.
Edmund?
I thought it was him subconsciously, and immediately a happy smile appeared on my face.
The window was rolled down slowly. Unexpectedly, a different face appeared in front of me. “Miss Leanna? What a coincidence!”
I looked at his face and was stunned for half a second. Then I opened my mouth in surprise. “It’s you.”
“Are you waiting for someone?” Eugene looked around and asked.
I nodded and then shook my head. “No… no…”
“Get in the car. I’ll drive you home.”
I hesitated and stood still without saying anything.
Seeing me like this, Eugene pushed the door open and got out of the car. “What? You want to refuse me again?”
“No…” I was afraid that he would misunderstand me, so I waved my hand.
“Then get in the car. Don’t worry. I won’t eat people.” He said half jokingly and opened the door.
I couldn’t find an excuse to refuse, so I had to get in the car.
Eugene closed the door for me, turned around and sat on the driver’s seat, starting the car.
I sat in the passenger seat and looked ahead. I was still thinking about Edmund.
“Miss Leanna.” Eugene called me softly.
“What?” When I came to my senses, I looked at him blankly.
He sighed, unfastened his seat belt and leaned towards me.
“What are you going to do?” His sudden approach made me nervous.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out the seat belt from the right rear of my body. He walked around me and with a crisp sound, the safety card was firmly clasped.
“Why are you so afraid of me? I’ve told you I won’t eat people.” He joked again.
I realized that I was too nervous and embarrassed, and my face flushed.
“Where are we going?”
“The Phoenix Villa.” I whispered.
Hearing the place name, Eugene raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing. He drove to the destination.
In the car, I didn’t talk to him. The atmosphere was quiet and embarrassing.
After all, we are not very familiar with each other, and I am not the kind of person who is good at self acquaintance, so the atmosphere in the car seems a little stuffy.
Realizing this, Eugene turned on the stereo in the car. Soothing music was played inside, hiding the embarrassment between the two.
After driving for a while, I suddenly felt a pang of nausea in my stomach. I covered my mouth subconsciously and wanted to suppress that feeling.
Eugene, who was driving, sensed that something was wrong and quickly slowed down the car. “What’s wrong with you?”
I waved at him with a painful expression. “Please stop the car. I want to vomit. ”
He stopped the car immediately and helped me get off.
I rushed to the roadside and vomited.
Eugene turned around and went to the car to get some water and tissues. When I finished vomiting, she handed them to me and asked, “how are you? Are you feeling better? Let me take you to the hospital.”
“Much better. Thank you. I don’t need to go to the hospital. Thank you so much.” I’m really afraid of bringing trouble to others, especially Eugene has saved me once before. I don’t want to owe him more.
“I remember that you vomited a lot last time. Are you sure there is nothing wrong? I know a doctor in the hospital who can take you to have a check-up directly. It won’t take much time.” He was obviously worried about her and tried to persuade.
Reminded by him, I suddenly realized that it was not the first time that I had such a feeling of nausea.
Sometimes I felt dizzy.
Was… Was I seriously ill?
Without further ado, Eugene helped me get into the car and took me to the hospital.
An hour later.
I was surprised and pleased with the result of the test.
“You are pregnant for four and a half weeks. At present, you are in good health. Take care of yourself and ensure nutrition. There is no problem.” The doctor said a few words and then asked the nurse to send me out.
“Shouldn’t I congratulate you?” Eugene smiled at me.
It was not until now that I remembered that there was a man beside me, and I immediately felt a little embarrassed.
“Thank you for taking me to the hospital.”
“You’re welcome.” With a smile on his face, he looked at my hand and said, “I’m sorry that I didn’t see you wearing a wedding ring. You…”
“I have a boyfriend.” I was afraid that he might misunderstand the origin of my child, so I immediately explained.
But somehow, I felt a little uneasy.
Is Edmund my boyfriend?
I haven’t discussed this with him before.
Eugene smiled brightly. After a pause, he leaned his head in front of me and asked, “will you send me a invitation?”
So far, I haven’t thought about marrying Edmund.
Now hearing Eugene’s words, I can’t help imagining.
What will happen to my wedding with Edmund?
Edmund is such a picky man. He will definitely make our wedding perfect and grand.
“Give me your phone.” Eugene added.
“What?” I was stunned.
He took the phone from me, opened the screen and handed it to me. “Unlock it.”
I had to enter the password to unlock the screen.
He opened the address book and quickly input a number. Then he dialed it, and his mobile phone rang.
“This is my phone number. Don’t forget to invite me to your baby’s bith party” He returned the phone to me and said.
“Okay.” IHe saved me, and now he sent me to the hospital. The first time he shared this good news with me, I’m more fond of him.
returned to City Y, I seldom contacted any of my former friends except Evelyn, who was related to Otis.
Eugene is my second friend here.
After leaving the hospital, Eugene sent me back to the villa.
At ten o’clock in the evening, when Edmund came back home, I was sitting cross legged on the bed watching TV.
When I heard the sound of the engine of the car downstairs, I immediately jumped off the bed and ran downstairs.
“You are back?” When I saw Edmund, my face was full of happiness.
“Why haven’t you slept yet? Why don’t you put on your shoes?” His voice was reproachful, but his tone was pampering.
“I ran too fast just now.” Embarrassed, I walked up to him.
“I’ve listened to you today and returned that slap.”
“Good.” He smiled, put his arm around my waist and walked upstairs.
After we went upstairs, we went straight back to the bedroom. As soon as we entered, Edmund kissed me on the lips and his big hands wandered on my back through the nightgown.
“HMM… wait… Wait…” I was out of breath because of the kiss and stopped.
He looked down at me and asked, “what are you waiting for?”
“I have something to tell you.” My face flushed. I raised my eyes slightly, but I didn’t dare to look into his eyes. I just stared at his straight nose.
“Say it.” He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled me into his arms.
I put my arms around his neck obediently. When I was about to say something, I heard Sage knocking at the door.
“Sir, someone is looking for you.”
“Who?” Edmund frowned slightly.
“It’s a lady. She said her surname is Fisher.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Edmund got up from the bed in an instant and walked towards the door.
I don’t know what happened, so I followed her out in a hurry.
Edmund went downstairs quickly.
When I caught up with them in slippers, I saw a young girl crying in Edmund’s arms in the living room on the first floor.
