Chapter 66 Congratulations After all, being pregnant is a big deal. He coughed and asked, pretending to be gossiping, “Hey, I’m asking you, in these three years, did you sleep with her or not?” Edmond frowned, his mind filled with the scene of that night when she drugged him. That night, he drank a bowl of soup she had stewed as usual, but unexpectedly, his body became uncontrollable overnight after drinking it. Married for three years, he adhered to the contract and never touched her. That was their first time. It was also a humiliating experience for him. “No.” Edmond’s thin lips tightened, and his aura became dark and intimidating. Everett lightly exclaimed “Oh” and gave him a thumbs up. Since nothing happened between them, it is obvious that Claudia’s pregnancy is someone else’s. Edmond almost became a father! Fortunately, we got divorced, which was the only silver lining in the misfortune. Everett Junlang’s face twitched a few times. Forget it, it’s better for him not to be the scapegoat in such an 15-43 embarrassing situation. Claudia had seen it with her own eyes a few days ago and was amazed. That woman had a great figure, she could be called a beauty, and she looked good. Edmond was able to resist for three years, which is truly admirable. As soon as he thought about Claudia not having had sex for three years, he couldn’t sympathize with Edmond anymore. Who can endure three years without having a relationship? No wonder they would cheat. “Did Rosalie know about your divorce with Claudia? Are you really going to marry her?”
Edmond remained silent, exuding a cold aura, with a face that had sharp edges and no trace of expression. Everett sighed and lit a cigarette. “Edmond, I have something on my mind,” he said. “A lifetime is long. If you like Claudia, go after her. Don’t wait until it’s too late to regret,” Everett said, forcing a bitter smile. Edmond saw him smoking heavily, lost in thought, and immediately guessed that he was thinking of someone.
“She got married, and you’re still waiting?” Everett’s hand paused for a moment, and he softly exclaimed, “What are you thinking? Am I supposed to wait for her to get divorced and then swoop in? I want her to know that not choosing me is her loss.” “There are also many who are willing to be the successors now,” Edmond narrowed his dark eyes and a cold, bloodthirsty smile curled 15:43 up at the corner of his lips. “Even the celebrities are scrambling for it.” Everett glanced at him, a mischievous interest appearing on his handsome face as he thought about the possibility of Claudia being pregnant. Edmond’s face was as cold as frost, but he weighed Everett’s words in his heart. Will he regret losing Claudia? After three years of being together, even if you raise a little cat, you will develop feelings. In the past three years, Claudia was obedient and attentive, and even developed some habits. For example, late-night nutritious meals. Since she left the Lamont family, he would think of her every night and everything he ate became tasteless. “I know they are putting pressure on you over there, but Edmond, some things cannot be forced,” Everett patted his shoulder. “You need to understand your own heart.”
Edmond’s eyes were dark, with a flicker of hidden fire within. Everett glanced at the time and stood up. “That arsonist has already gone in. The people below you are really capable, they investigate these matters thoroughly and accurately. However, it is highly likely that the situation over there will not end peacefully. Take care of your safety, I’m leaving first.” He twisted off the cigarette butt, put his hands in his pockets, and left. After he left, the girls outside became a little bolder and one by one they approached Edmond, who was sitting alone, to strike up a conversation. They stared at him for a long time. This man was very handsome, with a high and straight nose, deep and profound eyebrows, and narrow, dark eyes that carried a hint of cold and sharpness. The man, dressed in black clothes and black pants, concealed himself in the corner, like a dark and mysterious figure of the night. His jet- black eyes gleamed, radiating a dangerous aura, yet attracting them like poppy flowers. However, before they could approach, they were stopped by the bodyguard hidden in the corner. The assistant walked quickly and said, “Mr. Lamont, Ms. Clayton has arrived.” Edmond furrowed his brows. Just as the assistant finished speaking, Rosalie had already walked in. A touch of joyous smile appeared on the well-behaved and delicate face. “Edmond,” she placed the bouquet of roses in Edmond’s hand, “Congratulations.” Edmond then realized that she had brought a bouquet of flowers. He glanced at the flower and casually played with it for a while, “Congratulations for what?” “Congratulations on your divorce.” Chapter vo congratulationTS 40 iVouchers Edmond’s hand paused for a moment. Rosalie licked her lips and had an innocent look on her face, “It has been three years. Congratulations
to Edmond for being liberated and starting a new life from now on.” Her delicate and fair face showed a hint of blush. New life, right? Edmond chuckled lightly, relieved not for himself, but for Claudia. “Thank you.” Rosalie saw him set the flowers aside and wanted to gather the courage to ask him if they could get married. However, before she could speak, Edmond’s metallic voice rang out, “Rosalie, our wedding might…” “Edmond!” Rosalie interrupted him hastily, trembling all over, her lips turning pale. “You drank too much today.” Her teardrops welled up in her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly against her chest, taking deep breaths. “Drinking too much makes one forgetful. Let’s talk about it tomorrow. By the way, I have some good news to tell you. Once you’ve rested well, I’ll share it with you.” “Edmond, I wanted to marry you, not just for myself.” She tightly closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face. For Edmond, she could endure any amount of grievances. Edmond saw that she was agitated, and coincidentally, he had just gotten drunk, so he had a headache. Rosalie was right, drinking too much alcohol can cause forgetfulness. Once he got in the car, Edmond had already fallen into a deep sleep. Rosalie stayed by his side, carefully unbuttoning the collar of his shirt to make him comfortable. Halfway through, Edmond grabbed her hand. Rosalie was startled and was about to withdraw when Edmond’s deep eyes opened: “What are you up to again?” “Edmond, I…” “Last time I fell for your trick, I won’t fall for it again in the future.” Rosalie’s heart raced for a moment. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Just as she was about to apologize, Edmond closed his eyes and fell asleep again. He tightly held her hand and placed it on his chest. Feeling his burning heartbeat, Rosalie’s mind began to ripple. She looked at his handsome eyebrows and eyes, her hand slowly moved from his forehead to his nose bridge, lips… “Edmond, you were finally mine alone.” She rested her face against his heart and slowly closed her eyes. Over the years, only she knew that Edmond lived in hell. Claudia, that woman, didn’t understand anything. She was the only one who truly understood Edmond. She wanted to marry him and give him a lifetime of happiness. When they arrived at the Lamont’s manor, Rosalie helped Edmond into the room. “You guys go, I’ll take care of him.” The assistant, who had been watching her “little actions” throughout, hesitated to speak. Rosalie took care of Edmond, why was he so worried? Seeing the assistant standing by the door and not leaving, Rosalie’s innocent and naive expression gradually turned sharp and malicious. “Why are you still here? What’s the matter, do you want to watch our live broadcast?” This blatant threat made the assistant’s face immediately change color. Live streaming? It’s over! Edmond was about to be raped!
