A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 2181-2190
Chapter 2181 Edwin shifted his gaze toward Laura.
She remained engrossed in the antics of Tom and Jerry, leisurely savoring each potato chip.
Edwin mustered a smile.
“Your home cooking smells positively delightful. It's been quite some time since I enjoyed a meal of this caliber!” Internally, Lina rolled her eyes.
The audacity of it all! In the midst of it, Peter, enveloping Edwin in a hearty embrace, quipped, “Pay no heed to Lina’s chatter! Today, it's you and me enjoying a good drink together. Don't disappoint me, alright?” Edwin responded with a gentle smile, “Certainly!” As he passed by Laura, his stride momentarily wavered, his voice carrying a faint huskiness.
“Laura?” Lina's anxiety surged, dreading that their daughter might inadvertently reveal something.
If Peter caught wind of it, a heated confrontation could ensue. She didn't seek to sweep things under the rug, not because she opposed justice, but because preserving a young girl's reputation was clearly more important. She had no wish for their cohabitation to become public knowledge. Laura already bore the weight of being Cathy Wilson's daughter; if the world learned about her connection with Edwin, how could she live with it in the future? Thankfully, Laura simply offered a subtle nod.
Peter chuckled.
“To think Laura's actually a year your senior! She's such a child, still watching Tom and Jerry.” Edwin's gaze appeared inscrutable.
In a soft murmur, he responded, “But she appears at least three or four years younger than me.” Peter harbored some dissatisfaction with that assessment.
“She's been stuck at 5.2 feet, no matter how many nutritious soups Lina whips up for her, But a girl's petite and dainty stature has its charm; lends her an air of youthfulness,” he opined.
Edwin offered a slight, knowing smile.
On the other hand, Lina shot a scathing glare at her husband.
“Would you kindly engage your brain?” Peter grumbled, “Seems the tigress is out again!” He graciously beckoned Edwin to take a seat. After rummaging through Laura's liquor collection, he retrieved a bottle of premium Golden Blossom wine to share with his guest. He even tasked his wife with preparing a modest hot pot so they could partake in conversation while enjoying the meal and libations.
Chapter 2182 Lina was frustrated but there was nothing much she could do without spilling the beans.
Once everything was ready, Edwin turned his attention toward Laura, who remained engrossed in the animated spectacle.
“Why don't you join us for a meal?” he proposed.
Laura harbored no inclination to partake in their repast.
She dabbed at her fingers with a napkin and remarked casually, “I'm quite full. You can carry on.” Peter appeared poised to interject, but Lina, bearing a selection of stir-fried dishes, came to Laura's defense.
“Young girls often prefer nibbles over full-fledged meals! Furthermore, she likely doesn't find your current conversation topics all that enticing. You two enjoy your meal and chat away; we'll manage just fine on our end.” Peter couldn't help but deem the arrangement rather unreasonable.
Their household was far from an archaic, patriarchal domain where women were banished from the dining table.
Laura rose from her seat.
“I'm experiencing a slight headache. I'lL retire to my room to rest.
Peter's demeanor swiftly softened.
He urged, “Then go rest. Maybe take some pills if you're feeling really unwell” Laura emitted a noncommittal hum and retreated to her bedroom.
Lina trailed behind her. Laura leaned against her bed, immersing herself in reading comic books, pastimes as straightforward as a child's.
Lina tenderly brushed her fingers against Laura's forehead.
After a protracted silence, she inquired softly, “What's his intention?” Laura set aside the comic book she held.
She remained in contemplation for a brief moment before speaking in hushed tones.
“I'm unsure, to be honest. But I believe that once he's engaged, he should stop from troubling me any further. Someone of his stature cannot afford to suffer a loss of reputation.” CR ETE 5 a sr Koos Certainly, there had been some historical animosity between the two families, but Edwin had already exacted his vengeance upon Laura. Why persist in tormenting her? Surely, he couldn't be planning to make Laura his mistress, could he? She would never consent to such an arrangement.
Chapter 2183 Nor would Peter.
Lina tenderly caressed her daughter's hair, whispering, “No matter the circumstances, Mom will always stand by you.” In truth, she held hope that Laura would encounter someone compassionate and empathetic.
In doing so, each party would find solace, and perhaps Edwin would cease his persistent pursuit.
Exiting the room and gently closing the door, Lina released a soft, wistful. sigh.
She possessed a keen understanding of Edwin; he was undeniably exceptional.
However, he remained a man.
Men, by nature, had their own inherent imperfections, such as possessiveness or yearning for the unattainable. There he was, supposedly cozied up with Miss Smith, basking in her warmth during that chilly season. Yet, he had opted to be there, indulging in drinks with Peter.
Lina grasped the reality but refrained from confronting it head-on.
She rubbed her hands together and approached them with unwavering enthusiasm, urging them to consume more libations.
She hoped Edwin would get drunk soon.
Then she would summon Mark to dispatch someone to retrieve his son, brimming with machinations, averting any further embarrassment in their midst.
Lina possessed a well-earned reputation for her liquor tolerance, particularly when it came to potent drinks.
She could easily outmatch Peter in that regard.
Observing his wife's solicitous demeanor, Peter found himself struck with astonishment and gently patted her head as if seeking assurance.
“Are you feeling all right?” Lina proceeded to pour three modest cups without hesitation.
With a subtle undercurrent of bitterness in her tone, she remarked, “Edwin, this one's to your happiness. Your parents must be overjoyed to see you settled! Don't forget to bring Miss Smith over for a meal.
