Chapter39
“What did you say?” I didn’t expect him to say something like that, so I was stunned.
It was a big joke.
However, his expression was extremely serious at this moment, “I don’t know how long I can live. I’m the only child of my parents. I can’t imagine how painful they will be after I leave, and I probably can’t have my own child for the rest of my life. So… If you can marry me, the child in your belly will become my child. Even if I leave in the future, my parents will be comforted by looking at this child.”
After a pause, he continued, “besides, you can’t find anyone better than me to be the father of this child in the world, right? You don’t want to give birth to this child alone and let it grow up in a single parent family, do you?”
His last sentence was like a needle, piercing my heart.
I grew up in a single parent family, so I naturally understand the pressure that a child from a single parent family has to bear and the impact of lack of family background on them.
Therefore, as long as there is 1/10000 possibility, I will definitely not let my child have no father.
However, Edmund was so resolute that he directly extinguished the 1/10000 possibility.
After a long time, he said, “it doesn’t matter. There is still time. You can think about it slowly.”
“Mr. Eugene, i…”.
After all, not every man has the generosity to help others raise their children, especially, the relationship between me and him is not too deep, and even ordinary friends can only be barely counted.
“Or do you have any other misgivings? I can tell you honestly that our family has been well-off for the last three generations. As for myself, I have a master’s degree in Business Administration from the Business School of University of Pennsylvania, England. At present, I am the president of a listed company. I once dated a girlfriend, without any bad hobbies. I don’t smoke, drink or gamble…”
He introduced himself sincerely.
The more I listened, the more I felt that he was not joking with me. After thinking for a moment, I interrupted, “Mr. Eugene, although it’s your kindness, I still feel that it’s unfair to you. After all, this child has nothing to do with you.”
“If you agree to marry me, he has something to do with me.”……”
“But…”
“I know what you are thinking about. We don’t love each other, but it doesn’t hinder us from giving this child a family. Well, I promise you that if the child’s father comes to him in the future and is willing to give you and your mother a happy family, I will let you go, okay?”
There is no more unequal agreement than this in the world. But judging from Eugene’s expression, he was obviously looking forward to my consent.
“Actually… It’s easy for you to marry a woman like me.” After all, in this society, there were so many single mothers. With his Eugene’s conditions, he could find whatever he wanted.
“I know. But who let me meet you?” He said with a smile.
Fate, sometimes, was so wonderful.
“Thank you for your kindness, i…” I really can’t accept his kindness. He deserves to find a better girl who really belongs to him.
Before I could say anything to refuse, he interrupted, “you don’t have to reply to me in a hurry. You can consider my suggestion carefully.”
He started the car again. We didn’t say anything else. He drove me to the apartment silently all the way. After parting, they went home respectively.
I didn’t sleep well that night.
Eugene’s face and what he said kept flashing through my mind.
After all, an excellent man like Eugene was not worse than Edmund in all aspects if he was not in poor health.
But I know it better. Eugene is so kind that I don’t dare to marry him.
Three days passed peacefully.
On the fourth day, Edmund came back from abroad.
After getting off the plane, he didn’t go back to the villa. Instead, he went straight to the company and didn’t go home until midnight.
I was informed by Oarlan that he would come back for dinner, so I prepared a lot of dishes for him.
However, when I was waiting on the sofa, I fell asleep by accident because I was easily sleepy during pregnancy.
I didn’t sleep for long before I woke up. When I saw my coat, I suddenly realized that Edmund had come back.
I got up and went straight to the dining room. I saw Edmund eating the cold dishes on the table slowly.
“When… When did you come back?” walked to the table, I asked.
Under the light, Edmund looked as cold and arrogant as usual. His two eyebrows were flat and smooth, and his deep eyes were calm and expressionless.
“I just arrived.” He answered, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and picked up the spoon to ladle soup.
Seeing this, I immediately grabbed his hand and said, “don’t eat. These dishes are cold.”
Edmund stopped immediately and looked at my hand.
As if being burned by his gaze, I quickly withdrew my hand and picked up the cold soup. “You want to eat the soup, I’ll heat it for you.”
“Don’t bother.” He put down the bowl and spoon, stood up and said, “let’s go. I’ll drive you back.”
I stood still with the bowl in my hand for half a second. Then I put the bowl back on the table and turned around. “Don’t bother Mr. Edmund. I can go back by myself.”
Then i was about to leave.
He grabbed my wrist and said in a low voice, “I’ll drive you home.”
I frowned and struggled slightly, trying to get my hand out of his palm. “Please let me go. I don’t need you to send me back.”
“Leanna, do you have to do this?” He frowned and said.
“Mr. Edmund, what do you mean? I don’t understand.” Since I couldn’t get rid of him, I gave up struggling and looked up at him. It was a perfect face, but now it looked so hateful.
“Don’t you understand?” As he spoke, he pinched my chin and kissed her without warning.
I didn’t expect him to be like this all of a sudden. All of a sudden, his eyes widened and he looked stunned.
When I came to my senses, I retreated immediately.
But every step I took back didn’t bring him enough. On the contrary, he pressed me step by step.
Finally, I was forced to a corner and had no way back.
“Let go of me, don’t touch me…” I kept wriggling, trying to push him away.
With a hiss, the hem of the dress was torn open. I obviously felt a chill in my legs.
While my heart is beating violently, I realize what he is going to do next.
No, no!
The alarm went off in my head and I shouted, “stop, Edmund, stop…”
But he didn’t listen to me at all.
Seeing that he didn’t want to stop, I lowered my head in a hurry and buried it directly on his strong shoulder. I opened my mouth and took a hard bite.
I tasted a trace of blood in my mouth. Realizing that I was too cruel to him, I raised my head in a hurry. His blood was still on his lips, and his white shirt was dyed red by the blood, forming an arc-shaped tooth print on it.
“I told you to stop. It was you who forced me. I…” she struggled to look into his cold and frightening eyes. Her tone was obviously a little guilty.
But before I could finish my words, his lips sealed my mouth again. The salty blood swirled between the lips and teeth of the two, like some kind of medium, tightly binding our bodies together.
At first, I wanted to struggle, but gradually, my body seemed to be awakened by his hot kiss, and I could not help but begin to cater to his movements.
Finally, I fell down under him.
When I woke up, I found myself lying on the familiar bed.
The man beside had disappeared.
The scene of last night flashed back in my mind, and I still felt my heart beating fast.
i quickly changed clothes and went downstairs. When I rushed into the dining room, i saw that it was a mess, like a battlefield.
He was so crazy last night that he almost wanted to eat me alive. If I didn’t fall asleep at last, he wouldn’t stop for the whole night.
I squatted down and tried to pick up the debris on the ground, but a pain came from my lower abdomen.
Covering my belly with my hands, I slowly stood up and walked to the dining room. I wanted to sit on the sofa to relieve the pain.
But soon, I found that the pain was not alleviated, but became more and more serious.
What happened?
I wiped the sweat on my forehead and suddenly remembered the scuffle with Edmund last night.
Was the baby hurt?Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Thinking of this possibility, I couldn’t help but feel scared.
Holding my belly with one hand, I picked up the phone and looked through the phone. At the same time, I said in my heart, “baby, be strong. Don’t leave Mommy…”
I wanted to call Evelyn and ask her to save me, but when I was looking through the phone book, I was in a hurry and reached the bottom. The name of Eugene instantly appeared in my sight.
Compared with Evelyn, he seemed to be more able to help her at this time.
Thinking of this, I immediately dialed that strange number.
The phone was picked up after it rang twice. Eugene’s attractive voice came from inside. “Leanna, are you here to tell me the good news?”
“Mr. Eugene, please help me. My child, my child…”
“What’s wrong with the baby? Where are you? I’ll be right there.”
“In the villa district next to my house, No. 808.”
After hanging up the phone, I lost consciousness and passed out.
