A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2401 She was still shy from the memories of the previous night.

Edwin leaned down, kissing her, and softly suggested, “Sleep a bit more. Remember to eat at noon, there's food in the fridge. Just relax and watch some TV. We'll stay here for the next few days.” Edwin had a villa in the works, but it was under renovation and wouldn't be ready for another six months.

In the meantime, he wanted to stay here with Laura.

She nodded in agreement, ever obedient and without complaint.

As Edwin prepared to leave, Laura suddenly caught his hand.

“What's wrong?” he asked, his tone tender, enveloping her in his arms.

Laura, her arm wrapped around his neck, whispered softly with a hint of worry, “Last night, you didn't use — you know. Before, you always did.” Edwin realized she was concerned about pregnancy.

He kissed her, offering reassurance.

“We're married now. If you become pregnant, we'll have the baby. Our Laura will become a mommy.” He knew of her deep desire for a family and children.

Laura gazed at him, expressing her fear of being a burden, especially after the issues with the Smith family.

Edwin's response was gentle yet firm.

“If it happens, we'll have the baby. I can manage, no matter how busy I am.” Laura nodded in understanding.

Edwin then playfully touched her face, teasing her about how she felt, asking if it was different from before. Laura blushed, too embarrassed to respond, and playfully pushed him towards the office.

But Edwin couldn't resist being a bit mischievous, his hand wandering under her nightgown, lightly caressing as he murmured, “You feel it already? I'll be back tonight to take care of you.” Laura, still wrapped in the blanket, chose not to respond to Edwin's playful advances.

He chuckled at her reaction and headed to the restroom.

Upon returning, he wrapped her up once again in the blanket, sharing a long kiss before finally departing. Koos Alone now, Laura emerged from under the blanket, her cheeks flushed with a sweet glow.

Reveling in the joy of marriage, she playfully rolled on the bed, admiring the ring on her finger with a sense of enchantment.

She cherished the lunch Edwin prepared, savoring every bite.

Chapter 2402 Later, around five in the afternoon, Edwin called to say he would be back later to cook for her.

Laura, concerned about his workload, offered to cook instead.

Edwin, happy to encourage her, said he looked forward to experiencing Mrs. Evans’ culinary skills.

Realizing the fridge was not fully stocked, Laura decided to head to the nearby grocery store.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Not being an experienced cook, she planned to buy only simple ingredients and follow online recipes.

As she was back, her attention was drawn to a red sports car with a familiar license plate. Approaching, she recognized it as Vanessa's.

Vanessa, dressed in a white suit, appeared both elegant and exhausted.

The fallout with Edwin had affected her standing in the Smith family and her position at the company.

Now, she had to navigate a precarious situation, trying to restore her status while the family groomed a new successor for future leadership.

Vanessa needed to persuade Edwin to release his grip on the Smiths.

He was aggressively pursuing them, risking damage to both sides.

But Edwin was unreachable, ignoring her calls and refusing to meet.

Vanessa could only try to reach Laura.

She approached her, asking, “Do you have a moment to talk?” Vanessa glanced at the grocery bag in Laura's hand, seeing the pork belly and other simple items.

She felt a sense of superiority, wondering if Edwin actually preferred such mundane things.

Laura sensed Vanessa's condescending attitude and saw no need for a conversation.

However, Vanessa blocked her way.

“Laura, you took Edwin from me.

Don't I deserve an explanation?” Laura was taken aback by Vanessa's bold accusation.

She knew Vanessa was a skilled businesswoman, but her blatant distortion of the truth was unexpected.

Calmly, Laura replied, “If you missed your chance when it was right before you, how can you blame others?” Caught off guard by Laura's response, Vanessa struggled to retaliate.

To her surprise, Laura then suggested, “There's a cafe across the street. We can talk there.”

Chapter 2403 Vanessa's intentions were clear and malicious.

“Won't you invite me into your house?” Laura responded frankly, “You're quite beautiful. I'd rather not bring a pretty woman home to possibly tempt my husband.” Vanessa's irritation flared again.

In the cafe, Vanessa petulantly ordered a coffee for Laura with extra an extra shot, but Laura refused it, mentioning her plans for pregnancy.

Vanessa's discomfort grew as she looked at the grocery bag and then the black coffee.

When Vanessa implied that Edwin should be providing Laura with a life of luxury instead of a simple one where she had to cook herself, Laura's response was serene and pure.

Laura's eyes sparkled with an innocence that was almost disarming.

“Dad has already provided all those things for me,” she stated with a gentle earnestness.

Sensing that Vanessa might not grasp the full extent of her words, she added in a soft whisper, “I'm talking about Edwin's dad, who's now also my dad. He has given me a villa and a substantial amount of money. As long as I don’t squander it, I won't need to work a day in my life.” She then thought about the possibility of having children, all of whom would be well-cared for and healthy.
