Chapter 25
She continued in a slow tone, “I don’t know if it’s because of robbing other’s husband. Now it’s time for retribution. She seems to be seriously ill. What’s wrong with her?”
“Lung cancer.” Kaia reminded.
“Oh, right, lung cancer. That’s a terrible disease. She coughs every day. Tut tut tut… As her biological daughter, don’t you want to see her?” Lorna gloated.
When I heard the two words “lung cancer”, my expression was completely frozen and I was completely stunned.
In my memory, my impression of my mother has faded away. Now I suddenly heard about her, and it’s bad news. Why am I not shocked.
Lorna slowly stood up and said, “don’t blame me for not reminding you. Maybe this time you go to see her is the last time to see her. After all, if your mother is really dead, our family will definitely not hold a mourning for her.”
After saying that, she showed a mocking smile on her face and walked out directly.
Watching her receding figure, I clenched my fists and trembled all over.
When I turned around, the invitation card was still lying there quietly. I picked it up and put it in my bag.
I know I have to go to the Moor’s mansion.
For nothing else, I just want to ask my mother who abandoned us years ago that she won’t regret!
When I got home, I felt like I was going to collapse. I felt terrible all over and felt nauseated.
Sage noticed that there was something wrong with me and asked with concern.
I just said I was fine and went upstairs to have a rest.
When I woke up and was about to get up, I found that Edmund was sitting on the bed and reading a book carefully.
“When did you come back?”
“After you fell asleep.” Then he put down the book in his hand and asked, “why didn’t you tell me that you were not feeling well?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“No. don’t listen to Sage’s nonsense. I just feel a little tired and don’t feel uncomfortable.” I leaned my head on his shoulder and said, “you have so many things to worry about every day. You are tired enough. Don’t worry about me.”
“Really?” He seemed to be still worried.
“Yes.” I said, covering my belly.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m hungry.” I grinned at him, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. “I’m going downstairs to eat something.”
The second morning, when I got up, I saw several beautifully packaged large gift boxes on the bed of the concubine.
What’s this?
I got out of bed curiously and walked to the bed.
At this time, Sage pushed the door open and came in with a big smile on her face. “Miss, are you awake?”
I pointed at the gift boxes and asked, “where did you get this?”
“Where else? Of course it’s a gift from master.”
“A gift? ” As I spoke, I opened the box on the top and saw a gorgeous and fairy dress inside.
“This dress is so beautiful. If you wear it, you must look like a fairy.” Sage praised.
I opened the second box and saw a pair of beautiful high-heeled shoes.
The third box was filled with a luxurious handbag inlaid with diamonds.
When the last box was opened, I felt like my eyes were going to be blurred.
It turned out to be a set of pink diamond jewelry.
Although I have never owned these luxuries, I used to work in a five star club. I have seen a lot of powerful people, so I can recognize good things.
Sage’s eyes were still fixed on the gifts. I’ve recovered from the shock.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, but it was not Edmund who spoke.
“Leanna, have you received the gift? Are you surprised?” Oarlan’s excited voice came through the phone.
“Well, where is Edmund?” Leanna asked.
“President is meeting an important guest now. He is not available to answer the phone.” Said Oarlan.
“Do you know why he suddenly gave me so many valuable gifts?”
“Aren’t you going to attend your friend’s engagement ceremony? So the CEO specially asked me to prepare these things for you.”
How did he know that I was going to attend the engagement ceremony?
“Leanna, I’m a little busy now. Let’s talk about it later. I’ll tell the CEO that you’ve called.” Oarlan seemed to be very busy and hung up the phone before I could reply.
I stared at the luxury jewelry in front of me, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Sage knew what was on my mind, so she opened her mouth and said, “Miss, I told President that you were going to attend your friend’s engagement ceremony. When you came back yesterday afternoon, your bag was directly thrown on the sofa in the living room. When I wanted to send it to you upstairs, I accidentally opened the button, and the invitation card slipped out and fell on the ground. I saw it when I picked it up.”
I see.
I took a deep breath and packed them up.
“Miss, are you… Don’t you want to try these things?” Sage looked at me in confusion.
“Sage, please put these things away for me. I’m not going to attend the wedding with some clothes.”
“Why? These things are so beautiful. Don’t you like them?”
“No.” How could I not like the gift he gave me? But I don’t think the engagement of Otis and Lorna deserves such a grand treatment.
In the afternoon, Evelyn asked me out for coffee. I told her that Lorna invited me to attend the engagement ceremony.
Hearing the news, Evelyn immediately exploded, “don’t go. Don’t go. ”
“But I want to see my mother…”
Hearing this, Evelyn sighed heavily. “This Lorna is a scheming bitch. She knows that if she invites you directly, you won’t go, so she uses your mother as a stunt. If my mother abandoned me, I wouldn’t want to see her.”
“She got cancer. I don’t know how long she can live.” That’s why I want to see me urgently.
“Humph! It’s impossible to believe Lorna’s words. She must have lied to you.” Evelyn said without hesitation.
“What if it’s true?”
“Well, ” She didn’t say anything. She just stirred the drink in front of her with a straw and looked out of the window at the two highest buildings built side by side in the city center. She sighed, “why is the difference between people so big? Women like Lorna are born so rich, but we are so poor?”
“You are alreadygood. Don’t be unsatisfied.”
“It depends on who I am going to compete with. Compared with an unfortunate child like you, I am much happier. But compared with Lorna, I am far worse, let alone the daughter of our chairman.” Said Evelyn.
“The daughter of your chairman? Why don’t you compete with her?” I think it’s funny.
“Jealous? She is not only good-looking, but also rich. The key point is, do you know how perfect her fiance is? He is just a noble prince like a textbook.” She pointed to the tallest building outside the window and said, “look, have you seen the two buildings? One is our company, and the other is the property of our future husband, the daughter of our chairman. Tut, tut, tut, tut, the marriage of the two families is estimated to be able to rank in the top ten, not to mention at home, even in the international plutocrat families.”
” Why are you still dreaming about a princess and a prince?” I flicked her forehead and smiled.
“Don’t take it as a fairy tale. It’s true. If only I could find such a perfect man.” Evelyn said as she began to be anthomaniac.
Of course I know what she said is not a fairy tale. I have such a perfect and excellent man by my side now, don’t I?
Thinking of Edmund, I couldn’t help but look happy.
Now I am the Cinderella in fairy tales.
“It’s fate. You will meet her.” I tried to comfort Evelyn.
“Even if you don’t have a prince, you can give me a golden bachelor.” Evelyn was sensible.
“Don’t worry. There will be some.”
The engagement ceremony of Lorna would be held at half past seven in the evening two days later at the Moor’s s mansion.
I don’t wear the fancy clothes Edmund prepared for me, but I know very well that if I dress too bad, I will also be looked down upon by others in the circle of rich people.
So I put on the sapphire blue dress that Edmund gave me before, matched with low-key black high-heeled shoes. My hair was slightly curled out of the shape of waves with the curling stick and draped over her head. I looked very elegant and beautiful, but not too eye-catching.
The driver sent me to the gate of the Moor’s mansion, and someone was waiting for me at the gate.
I handed over my invitation and was guided to the check-in counter. Then I signed it and went into the garden.
The villa of the Moor’s mansion was very large and luxuriously decorated. In addition, it was specially decorated for the wedding, making people feel that everything they saw was dazzling golden.
It showed the taste of the host in gold everywhere.
The Moor family was only in the early generation of Lorna’s father. It suddenly became rich and did not have much wealth foundation, so it was not accepted by the real rich and powerful family.
But he was still one of the best among those upstarts.
The Nacker family was the same as The Moor family, so the two families were well matched in social status.
In front of the dessert table in the garden, there were many people. On the main stage, there was a live band playing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
I’m not interested in this engagement ceremony, so after entering, I avoided the crowd and walked directly into the villa, trying to find my mother, Belinda.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a waiter coming out. I walked up to him and asked, “Hello, have you seen Mrs. Moor?”
“Mrs. Moor? She should be with Mrs.. She is in bedroom on the second floor, right?” The waiter thought for a while and asked.
“Thank you.” I thanked her and was about to go upstairs. But I felt a little strange in my heart. Didn’t Lorna always hate this stepmother? Why are you so close to me now?
On the stairs, two maids came down and the two were talking about something.
“What’s wrong with madam? Presudebt has forbidden her to attend such a day, and big miss has also given an order that she doesn’t want to see her at the engagement ceremony. Why is she still dressing up and ready to meet the guests?” Servant a said.
” you should call her Ms. Belinda from now on? or she will scold you again when she hears you.” Maid B said.
“That’s right. Thank you for reminding me.”
When the two of them passed by me, I immediately stopped them. “Hello, may I ask if the Ms. Belinda you just mentioned is the wife of the Mrs. Moor?”
The two of them became nervous when they heard.
“Don’t worry. I just want to ask where she is now.” I saw that they were on the alert, so I said.
The servant a pointed to the outside and said, “it’s over there.”
Thinking of what they said just now, I felt very uncomfortable.
Was she really going to divorce Lyndon?
I turned around and walked out of the main building of the villa. As I expected, there was an independent two story villa next to the villa. Compared with the lively villa, it was very quiet here.
As soon as I entered the building, I heard a sharp voice coming from above. “Get out of the way, all of you. Why don’t you allow me to attend? I’m still the wife of the Moor family, the hostess of this house. What qualifications do you have to stop me?”
“Ms. Belinda, please behave yourself. Mr. has already sent a message. Don’t you make things difficult for us?” A man’s voice was persuading her.
