A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 52

"D*mn it, you lecher! 111 growled at him. When I saw that Edward had an erection, I felt bashful and awkward.

How could he be so lecherous even when he was having a fever?

I took his temperature with anger and fed him medicine. Then I covered him with the quilt and left the room.

I have done everything I could for Edward. Even if he was seriously ill, it would have nothing to do with me. He made his bed, so he must lie on it.

Since I didn't ignore him, I had already done my best.

"Oh."

"Ding Ling." The next morning, I was woken up by the phone. I rubbed my messy hair and got up from the sofa.

I touched my belly and then picked up the phone.

"Ashley, are you awake? I am at your door now." William's gentle voice came from the phone. Hearing his soft voice, my chaotic mind immediately sobered up a lot.

I wanted to say that I was going to open the door right away. Then I suddenly thought of something and immediately came to my bedroom. When I saw Edward who was still sleeping in the bedroom. I couldn't help but felt speechless.

I thought I was dreaming. But Edward was lying on the bed, so that was real. Edward, that b*stard, even had a good sleep on my bed.

I definitely owed him in my previous birth. So I was treated by him like this in my life in return.

"Ashley? Are you listening?" William didn't hear me, so he couldn't help but repeat it again.

I came to my senses and said awkwardly, "William, I'm not inconvenient today. Can I ask for leave?"

"What's wrong? Is your belly uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital for an examination immediately."

"No... just a little bit," I explained in embarrassment, but I didn't know how to explain the situation now.

If I opened the door and let William in, he would see Edward sleeping in my bedroom. At that time, William would misunderstand.

When I thought of this, I felt my headache terribly.

"Well, then I'll come to see you later. If there is something wrong with you, just let me know, okay?" William was so considerate. He just said it and hung up the phone.

I leaned against the door and heard what was happening outside. When I heard that his footsteps faded, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to cook millet gruel, my phone rang again. It scared me so much that I almost threw the phone out.

I didn't look at the caller ID and thought that it was still William, so I stuttered and explained, "William, I will call you when I feel better, okay..."

"Ashley... It's me." But it was not William's voice on the phone, it was Richard, I hadn't heard for a long time.

Then I remembered that I hadn't seen Richard for a long time. I heard that he went to a foreign branch.

"Richard..." I was grateful to Richard. In the Xis, when I was in an awkward position, he helped me a lot.

"I don't know where Edward has been since last night. We can't find him, so I want to ask if you saw him or not."

Was Richard looking for Edward?

After listening to his words, I closed my eyes and shook my head slightly, "I don't know where he is. I don't have anything to do with him anymore."

"Well, if he comes to you, give me a call. Betty and aunt are very worried about him."

When I heard Betty's name, I felt a little angry and said, "Oh, I know. But I don't think Edward will come to me. Because we have no relationship at all."

"Last night, in front of the Fangs and the Xis, Edward suddenly said that he would cancel the engagement with Betty. Betty sobbed her heart out, and Edward left. We have spent the whole night looking for him, but we didn't find him."

Edward was going to cancel his engagement with Betty? What could it be?

I was a little stunned for that. I even thought I had heard it wrong. "I also felt very surprised. I saw his love for Betty, so I did not expect that he would suddenly say such words. At that time, I was also frightened." Richard's sad voice came from the phone.

"That's really unfortunate." I closed my eyes indifferently and said to Richard coldly.

"Are you still... hating him?"

"I never loved him, why I will hate him? "

After saying this, I hung up the phone.

Edward was going to cancel the engagement with Betty?

I shook my head. This matter had nothing to do with me. Edward wanted to marry Betty, or cancel their engagement, both were not my concern.

After cooking the millet gruel, I went to the bedroom.

Edward was still sleeping, and he let out a groan of extreme pain from time to time.

I wanted to ignore him, but his intermittent groan drew my attention. I had no choice but to get close to the bed. Only then did I see clearly that his face was abnormally red.

"You're awake?" Edward saw that I had woken up and reached out his hand to touch my hair like he was touching a puppy.

I frowned and slapped off his hand.

Even Edward was treated by me like this, he didn't get angry. He just gently wrapped his arms around my body and placed his chin on my shoulder. In a deep voice, he said, "Ashley, you look so cute when you're sleeping."

I was scared by his sudden tenderness. Then I came to my senses and pushed him away.

Edward looked at me with deep eyes. He reached out and wanted to touch my face, but his hand was once again slapped down by me.

I got up from bed, tidied up my messy hair, and ordered Edward with a cold face, "Edward, stop your game here."

"Do you think that everything is a game?" Edward's voice became extremely cold after hearing what I said.

"Isn't that so?" I asked in reply.

Edward's eyes became abnormally deep. For a moment, I couldn't understand the emotions in his eyes.

He got up from the bed, came to my side, and raised his hand. I thought that he wanted to hit me, so I immediately protected my belly and looked at him with vigilance.

But Edward just placed his hand on my face and said in an extremely low and hoarse voice, "Ashley, I canceled the engagement with Betty."

"That's your business. It has nothing to do with me." I had some suspicions of what Richard said at first. Now I felt a little surprised when Edward told me so himself. I didn't expect that he was actually willing to cancel the engagement with Betty.

"I did that for you." Edward raised my chin and got closer to my face.

I smiled and my eyes were indifferent, "Do you think that I am a fool?"

How long was he going to play tricks on me?

What happened in Paris didn't make him satisfied, so he wanted to continue? "Ashley, I..."

"Get out!" Edward tried to say something, but I didn't want to hear it.

I pointed at the door. Without even looking at him, I said to him coldly.

Edward opened his mouth, but stubbornly refused to leave my house.

"Do you forget what you have done in Paris? You framed me for plagiarizing and perjured that I burned all the contestants' wedding dresses. Showed my guilty conscience? Weren't you good at perjuring? You made me take the blame for everything, while your company won the prize."

I touched my belly and looked mockingly at Edward, and his face was turning gloomy and cold.
