The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Edward pushed his way into the middle of the crowd and saw Lindsey and Bruce competing in a basketball game.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Lindsey said, “I’ll stay with him and watch over him.” He had the smallest idea that Lindsey was trying to be seductive.

At this moment, seeing how sweet they were, it was as hard as a torn bottle.

She was telling the truth. She never hid her happiness or sadness from Bruce, but she always held back from him.

She drew the line clearly, never overstepping it, and it was he who had impure motives.

Edward sighed bitterly and turned his head to encourage Paul beside him, “Bella, I heard from Professor Lee that you usually take care of your exercise, do you want to join in?”

“Paul, if you join in, I’ll join in too.” Abby laughed and helped, “Let’s go two against two and see who’s better.”

Paul held up his glasses and looked at Abby suspiciously, “Do you know how to play?”

“Underestimating me isn’t it?” Abby frowned at the joke and ran briskly over to Lindsey, stopping her in time. “Hokey, Paul and I are joining in.”

Lindsey wiped the sweat from her forehead as her eyes fell on Bruce and asked with a smile, “What do you think?”

“No problem, it’s not like we’ve won or lost the competition yet anyway.” Bruce gave her a doting smile in return and inclined his head towards Edward who was walking towards them, raising an eyebrow, “Edward, since you’re here, want to show your hand too.”

“I can’t, so I’ve got a good helper for you.” Edward pushed Paul out with his usual demeanour. “This is Bella, Paul. professor Lee’s love interest.”

“Hello.” Bruce greeted politely and asked with a smile, “How’s the comparison?”

“It’s no fun just shooting hoops, since it’s a competition, why don’t we form two teams, one for us girls and one for you boys, whoever loses buys dinner?” Abby looked at Bruce with a smile. “What does Mr. Grant think?”

Bruce smiled and nodded when he saw Lindsey didn’t object. “No problem, just as you say.”

The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed and those who wanted to join the game, one by one, took their places and began to get to know each other. On the girls’ side Lindsey, Abby, and a few other girls joined in, but there weren’t enough.

At this point someone from the boys’ side jumped in and strongly requested to join the girls’ team. There was a lot of laughter and jokes about his gender.

“I like Miss Song, so I asked to be on her team.” The boy blushed and argued, “Let me state up front that I’m definitely a guy and very straight.”

“Heroine, I want to have monkeys with you too!” With the first one, someone else immediately jumped in behind to echo the sentiment.

The words landed, prompting another burst of laughter.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bruce had a constant smile on his face, but his heart was bubbling with sourness. He could do the monkey thing himself, he didn’t need anyone else to do it for him.

Over the noise, Edward’s voice, full of loss, drifted over faintly. “You’re lucky.”

“I feel lucky too, thanks.” Bruce tilted his head slightly and met his gaze calmly. “So, isn’t it time you put away your non-sense?”

The smile on Edward’s face froze instantly and his pitch-black eyes, for a moment, looked at him.

The noise around them was loud, but it didn’t stop the two men from being, well, on the edge of their swords. Objectively speaking, Edward and Bruce had no deep-seated hatred for each other, and certainly no friendship.

All the points of convergence between the two men are focused on Lindsey.

Edward has been in the business world for many years and has seen all kinds of girls, but none of them have ever made him feel the same way as Lindsey. She is from a remote mountainous area, but she never shows any fear, she is talented, but never arrogant. She’s talented, but never arrogant. She’s skilled, but never actively showing off.

She is always Aurora cool and her eyes are as bright as the brightest star in the night sky, unadulterated.

She lives too openly, you have money and power has nothing to do with me, and I am not friends with you because of this. The first thing you need to do is to be open and honest, and to make your attitude clear from the start, I don’t want to climb up to you, nor do I ever want to step on your shoulders and get anything.

It’s not like there aren’t girls like that, but he met one like Lindsey and fell head over heels in love with her.

“Lindsey is the one I brought back from L city, and you lose when it comes to first come first served.” Bruce saw his silence and added possessively, “Not to mention I got her heart.”

Edward smiled lightly, but his eyes were deceptively cold: “Hearts change, and I’ll keep waiting.”

Bruce raised an eyebrow and averted his eyes without comment. So what if hearts change, he will never change for Lindsey, and he believes Lindsey … will never change.

In a relaxed and noisy atmosphere, the team was finally assembled. The girls’ team was four men and four women, the boys’ side was full of boys, while Edward acted as referee and served the ball.

The game started with a flurry of cheers and chants. He was on the edge of the court, his hot gaze, chasing Lindsey’s deft figure with fascination, but his chest cooled inch by inch.

Bruce was right, he had Lindsey’s heart, all that she had never revealed to him, but he was still not happy about it.

As he watched, his assistant pushed his way through the crowd and reminded him in a soft voice, “A reporter has received a tip-off about Miss Lindsey.”

“What?” Edward glanced at the two teams that were fighting and gestured for the assistant to speak clearly.

The assistant nodded, his eyes skimming over Bruce in the middle of the field, hastily retracted, followed by taking out his phone and unlocking it and handing it over.

Edward unaccountably took it and looked at it, his sword brows tightening unconsciously, “Give him a hush money payment and keep this under wraps for now.”

“Okay.” The assistant took back his phone and turned around to return to the car.

The film hadn’t officially begun to be promoted yet, and if Lindsey’s negative story broke at this time, the consequences could be huge. Add in Aurora, who had been waiting for a chance to try and stomp on Lindsey, and it would only be more bloody.

Rubbing his brow, Edward took advantage of the penalty and quickly relayed the information provided by his assistant to Bruce.

After all, this was his family business, and how he handled it was his headache to deal with.

“Pass me a copy of the recording later.” Bruce curled his thin lips lightly, not seeming to take the news seriously.

Edward was depressed and wanted to spit blood, but nodded anyway.

The game ended after forty minutes or so with a tie, and Bruce waved his hand in the air and invited everyone who had played and watched to dinner at the restaurant opposite the Academy.

The cheers rose again and Lindsey smiled as she went to retrieve her computer and flowers and asked the student to join her for dinner, before returning to Bruce with a smile on her face.

“Having fun?” Bruce pulled out a handkerchief and thoughtfully wiped her sweat, “Do you want me to get a court at the old house so you can play every day?”

“Idle you.” Lindsey dropped her computer onto his wheelchair and looked back at Edward, her cheeks flushed as she smiled sweetly away at him. “Why didn’t Edward just go down and play a round.”

“I won’t.” Edward replied with unusual crispness. “I’ve got things to do tonight, so I won’t be joining you for dinner.”

Lindsey smiled and nodded, watching him walk away before asking Bruce, “Did you say something to him.”

“Nothing, do I look like a bossy person to you.” Bruce took her hand in his and slowly slid over towards the parked car, “I had the kitchen make you soup and the back pork you love.”

“What about them?” Lindsey pointed to her classmates who were still huddled together laughing and joking. “At least be a little sincere about inviting people to dinner.”

“Hector will arrange it.” Bruce patted her hand and got into the car and immediately instructed Cary to go back to the Grant Residence.

Since arrangements had been made, Lindsey didn’t dwell on it and rested meekly in his arms.

After the evening meal, Lindsey offered to return to the flat in vain, so she stayed behind again.

Bruce saw her unhappy face and had to stop training and hugged her amused, “What’s on your mind, do you want me to call my three brothers and tell them about us.”

“Screaming that smoothly, you’re not afraid of your big brother killing you.” Lindsey’s heart warmed and her mouth was not at all polite. “All you know is bullying me.”

“I don’t bully you, I love you more than anything.” Bruce feigned aggression and the arm around her waist tightened unconsciously, “It’s getting late, isn’t it time to get some rest?”

Lindsey heard the meaning of his words and her face instantly turned red, “Why are you so horny.”

“It’s in my nature to do happy things with a lover.” Bruce laughed in a deep, dull voice and pulled her back into the room without a word.

After showering separately, Bruce opened his laptop to check his email, put on his headphones and listened to the recording Edward had sent him in full, a haze rising to his handsome face.

Tina was really giving her face, she had only been released in the morning and she was back in B City by noon, and she had even gone to the press to accuse Lindsey of ruining her face. I just wonder what kind of role Burton is playing this time.

Lindsey lay in bed looking at the new photos of her young nephew, and when she looked up to see him still dazed, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is something on your mind?”

“Yeah, I’m thinking about when you’re going to give me a monkey.” Bruce quickly took off his headphones, closed his laptop over, and laid down heavily next to her, “When we were playing, I did hear, a lot of guys talking about having children with you.”

” …” Lindsey put her phone away and reached out to poke his chest with her index finger, “Jealous?”

“Mmm.” Bruce muffled his response, then rolled over and pinned her underneath him, his slightly calloused fingertips trailing along her brow and eyes, gently rubbing downwards before finally resting on her delicate flower petal-like lips, “Can you say I’m not jealous when even the literary young man has that in mind.”

“…” Lindsey blushed and looked at him, pushing down uncomfortably, “You’re so heavy …”

“I remember you dropping me on the bed before, why didn’t I hear you say I was heavy then.” Bruce laughed again and slowly lowered his head, sealing his lips around her in a lingering embrace.

“Because I liked you.” Bruce shot back with a smile, followed by another gentle and dominant kiss.

Lindsey was lost in his stormy caresses and felt that he was in her eyes and heart …

The next day, Lindsey woke up sore and complained about Bruce.

Bruce’s face was full of satisfaction, and no matter what she said, she always had a look of: you’re right. This made Lindsey shy and angry.

After breakfast, I went to the School of Art and finished helping Assistant Chen with his business, just as Professor Lee came back from his class and greeted her thoughtfully, asking her to go to the office next door.
