Chapter 82
Leanna’s POV
A few months later, my belly gradually grew bigger and my body became more and more clumsy.
Edmund will come to accompany me and Cedric every month for a few days, and the family of three will reunite.
This kind of life was simple, but also comfortable.
One noon, after lunch, Cedric was coaxed to take a nap.
I took a walk in the garden to digest and then went back to my room to have a rest. The servant, Nana, knocked on the door and said, “madam, a lady wants to see you. She said she is your mother.”
Hearing this, I was shocked. I immediately got up from the bed and opened the door.
“”Where is she?”
“It’s outside. I haven’t let her in yet.”
Hearing this, I immediately went to the living room. From the monitor of the entrance guard, I saw a familiar figure standing outside the iron gate, looking around.
Why did she come here?
I can’t believe my eyes.
Four years. We haven’t contacted each other for four years.
Since I decided to leave City Y and come to England, I have no intention of contacting my biological parents.
Hannah is my only family in the world.
Those two irresponsible parents have already benefited a lot from me. I don’t want to pay attention to them anymore.
At this moment, when I suddenly saw my mother standing outside the door, I was stunned, and a faint sense of foreboding rose in my heart.
“Open the door and let her in.” I turned around and said to Nana.
Although I don’t know how she knows this address, she can find here to prove that she is sure that I live here.
If I refused to see her, she would never give up. If it’s for money, can dismiss her.
I walked to the sofa and sat down. One or two minutes later, I saw my mother appear in front of me.
“Leanna, I finally found you.” When she saw me, she was so excited that she stepped forward and wanted to hug me.
Seeing this, I subconsciously moved back to avoid her open hands and looked at her coldly. “How did you find me?”
“Leanna, aren’t you happy to see your mother?”
“As you can see, I have started a new life in England. I have given up everything in the past, including my family and relatives. So please don’t disturb my life, okay?” I looked at her calmly and said clearly word by word.
“Leanna, it took me so much effort to find you and come all the way here to see you. How could you do this to me? You want to cut it off, but you have my blood, which can’t be cut off.”
“Just tell me what you want from me. Don’t say anything sentimental.” After so much suffering, I’m no longer as soft hearted as before. I’m easily coaxed by some sweet words.
I know what kind of person she is, so I won’t let my guard down because of her words.
“Well, I come here today to tell you that your mother-in-law is looking for you. She already knows that you lied to her and that you had given birth to Eugene’s baby.” After saying that, she looked at my face and saw my belly.
She asked curiously, “Leanna, what’s wrong with your belly? Are you… Pregnant again? Who is the father?”
“It’s none of your business who is the father of my baby. As for my mother-in-law, you can tell her that you don’t know anything about me.” I said coldly.
” Do you think your mother-in-law is a kind person? Tell me the truth, are you married again? Who is that man? Is he a foreigner?”
“If you just want to know this, I can tell you. Are you satisfied?” I don’t want her to know about my relationship with Edmund. After all, if my relationship with Edmund is exposed at this time, it will definitely bring him a lot of trouble.
“Leena, I didn’t expect that you are so capable that you can even hook a forienger.” When mother heard this answer, an expression of approval appeared on her face. She stood up and looked around the house again, “I’m watching TV. The people living here are all rich. Your house must be old and valuable. It seems that my new son-in-law is also very powerful. He is also a business man, an artist, a doctor? Isn’t he a doctor introduced by Hannah to you? I heard that he can make money as a doctor in England. Isn’t Hannah a doctor? She must have introduced her to you, right?”
Judging from her tone, I just feel sick. In her heart, the only way to judge a man is to see the wealth of the manager.
It’s her money oriented and vulgar thoughts that made our family fall apart from childhood and can’t be reunited now.
“Don’t make blind and disorderly conjectures. I have told you that what happened to me has nothing to do with you. If you come to me just to tell me that my mother-in-law knows that I lied to her, then your goal has been achieved. You can leave now.” I don’t intend to keep her. I always have a grudge against my mother.
I know there must be other reasons for a person like her to come all the way to see me.
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, she said, “you are so cold. You don’t care about family affection at all. I ran so far away, but you were in a hurry to drive me away. However, the reason why I found you is not only because I wanted to tell you that thing. There is another thing I want to tell you. It’s about Eugene. Do you want to hear it?”
“Eugene?” When I heard the name, my curiosity was aroused. “What do you want to say about him?”
“Do you know how I found you?”
I shook my head. Of course I don’t know.
“Someone sent me two messages. One is your address, and the other is… You can’t imagine it.”
“What is it?” I asked immediately.
But she was not in a hurry to say, “by the way, I’ve been on the plane for more than ten hours, but the jet lag hasn’t come back yet. I’m really sleepy and hungry. Can you let me eat something first and then let me have a good sleep? If I have a good rest and a clear memory, I’ll tell you the second message.”
I have no choice.
Although I am eager to know the answer, I can do nothing to her if she doesn’t tell me.
I have to ask Nana to prepare food for her first, and then prepare a guest room for her to rest.
At this moment, I have a big doubt in my heart, that is, who sent the message to my mother.
In this world, except Edmund and me, there are only three people who know that I’m in England, Myrna, Evelyn and Royston.
The three of them only knew that we would go to London. They didn’t know that we were in Edinburgh, nor did they know my specific address.
So they shouldn’t have revealed it, and they had no motivation to do so.
But if it weren’t for them, who would be so powerful to know my whereabouts?
What was the purpose of that man doing this?
Is it about Eugene?
After eating and sleeping, she finally went downstairs.
I walked up to her, sat down on the sofa opposite her and looked at her seriously. “Well, you are full now and have a good sleep. Can you tell me something about Eugene?”
She took a sip of coffee slowly, with a look of enjoyment on her face. “In fact, whether I say it or not now doesn’t mean much to you. You have already married another man, and you are pregnant with another man’s child. I have to say it, but it will make trouble for you.”
“Are you kidding me?” I suddenly felt a little angry and clenched my fists.
“Well, since you want to know so much, I’ll tell you. But you have to be mentally prepared. It’s a big secret.”
“Go ahead.” I’m so nervous now.
“Eugene might still be alive!”
Eugene, is he still alive?!
Hearing this, I was stunned as if I had been struck by lightning.
Could it be possible?
Eugene is still alive?
No, it’s impossible
If Eugene was alive, then why didn’t anyone from the King family know about it?
Even his parents didn’t know about it.
They had held a funeral for him.
Didn’t Petra say that? Eugene’s body was burned to ashes.
If it wasn’t Eugene who had been burned to death, who else could it be?
Eugene was not burned to death at that time, but his heart was almost exhausted. With his body, he would definitely not be able to survive the past four years.
How could he still be alive?
“You are shocked, aren’t you? I can’t believe it, either. So I decided to come to England to confirm the first message from the person who sent me the message was true. Fortunately, I found you. Do you think the first one is true and the second one is false?” SHer expression was unpredictable.
“No, that’s impossible. If Eugene is still alive, why doesn’t he go back? Why doesn’t he appear in front of everyone? Doesn’t he know how sad his parents are?” This is what I can’t figure out the most.
If Eugene was still alive, he should have appeared in front of everyone.
“I don’t know. Anyway, I just received these two messages. I’m here to persuade you that if Whitney wants her grandson, you can give him to her. In this way, you have worked hard to raise her grandson, and she has to thank you. I heard that she has a lot of property under her name, which can’t be used up all her life. She has only one grandson now, and if she dies in the future, these property can only be left to this child By then, you will be the one who will get the benefit.
I was still in shock and didn’t hear her clearly, but I understood what she meant.
How could it be possible for me to give Cedric to Whitney?
“So you came here to persuade me, didn’t you?” Now I have almost figured out her purpose.
“Yes, not exactly. I came here to seek refuge with my daughter. You are living such a comfortable life now. How can you forget your mother?”
“Come to me? I advise you to give up. Let alone I’m married now, my husband won’t allow anyone to live in our house to disturb our peaceful life. Even I myself won’t let you live with me. You came here for money. Just tell me how much money can block your mouth, so that you can not disturb us, and you can keep the secret.” I know my mother too well.
Marriage and children were just chips she used to exchange for money.
For money, she could abandon her husband and son, and she could turn against him.
Lyndon, her ex husband, was the best evidence.
Hearing what I said, a smile appeared on her face. “Now that you mentioned the money, it’s not impossible to use it to get rid of me. But, Leanna, don’t blame me for not reminding you that you may not be able to pay the price I offered.”
“Tell me, how much do you want?” As long as money can solve it, it’s not a problem for me now.
She stretched out a finger and pointed it at me.
“Ten million? Okay, I’ll write you a check right away.” As I spoke, I stood up to take the check book.
“It’s one hundred million. My silly daughter. Do you think your mother is so easy to be banished?” She said more seriously.
Facing my mother’s exorbitant demand, I have mixed feelings. I really want to open her heart and see what color it is.
How could a mother threaten her daughter with her grandson.
What a crazy person would do such a thing.
“One hundred million is not a problem for you with your current wealth. I remember that you took over all the properties under Eugene’s name. At least several hundred million. Now you’re married to a rich man, so it’s not too much to use that money to repay your biological mother, right?” She took it for granted.
