Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 845

The night outside the window was exceptionally tranquil. Felicity leaned into Edward's embrace, and even her breathing seemed to have become lighter.

Edward rubbed her long hair with extreme gentleness, as his lips pressed lightly against her forehead. At this moment, there was no longer any burning desire, but instead another layer of deep affection.

The more they loved each other, the less of any worldly distracting thoughts they had.

They only considered each other as an indispensible part of life.

Now, Edward and Felicity had this kind of comprehension, and saw each other as the most important person in their lives, so they no longer thought about separation.

"Shouldn't we go upstairs and sleep in case the kids wake up and come looking for us?" Felicity thought that after staying downstairs for so long, it was about time for them to sleep.

"Hm! Let's go!" Edward reached out and held her hand, nodding.

The two of them went upstairs.

This was a villa's hotel. Although it was not comparable to the Hughes Family's villa, it had three large rooms that were cleaned and tidy up. Felicity stood at the foot of the stairs and took a glance. Then she turned to looked at Edward.

Edward gently stroked her long hair. "You can sleep with the children!"

Felicity said softly, "Alright, have an early rest!"

The two of them went into their respective rooms. Felicity laid down on the side of the large bed and gently slipped into the blanket.

The two little fellows warmed up the blanket, allowing Felicity to sleep soundly with her daughter in her arms.

In the other room, Edward leaned on the bedside, reached out for his phone, and saw a message.

It was sent to him by Larry, the latest address of Jack Hughes.

Edward frowned. The new home that Jack Hughes bought was actually a high-end residential area less than a kilometer away from his company.

Edward could not help but sneer, thinking he was really boring.

But what did he want to do?

Edward frowned, as a bad premonition rose in his mind once again.

If it was the Edward of the past, when he had placed his grandfather and grandmother abroad, when he was alone in the country, he would have almost no weaknesses to attack. But now, he had a woman he loved and the children he treasured, and even his grandparents were no longer willing to leave him. It worried him a lot.

The last time he had placed his grandparents abroad, it had been a sign of compromise and withdrawal, but this time, he was not going to retreat. He would protect all the important people well and not let them get hurt again.

Of course, Edward would not take the initiative to harm others. But if Jack Hughes really touched Edward's bottom line, he would take the initiative to attack.

Time went back to noon.

The two children were taken out to play by Edward and Felicity.

Since the old lady had nothing better to do, she called her old sisters to meet them for tea.

These old sisters were not young anymore.

There were more people in their previous team, but they were getting older and some of them had already left. The remaining few, however, were growing more spirited with each passing year.

Old Lady Hughes had always been the central topic, and it was the same for today.

"Madam Hughes hasn't contacted us much lately. What are you busy with?"

"What else can she be busy with? She played with her two grandchildren at home. I've heard that there are people driving them to school every day. So she must enjoy the happiness of being with them."

"When are you going to bring those two children out for us to see? Let us see whether they look like Edward as a child."

"Sigh, Madam Hughes is also working hard. If your daughter-in-law is still in Hughes Family, you don't have to worry about the matters of your two children every day!" The moment these words came out, Old Lady Hughes's expression froze.

She glanced at the old lady who was speaking randomly and said indifferently: "I don't feel that it's hard work. After all, they’re my biological great-grandchildren."

The old lady was shocked, and didn't dare to say anything else.

Old Lady Hughes immediately opened her mouth: "I invited all of you out today because I plan to have dinner together tonight. Don't all of you have young misses in your families who are still waiting to be married off? Do you have the chance to bring them out tonight? Coincidentally, I have a grandson back home recently and I want to find him a girlfriend."

"Really? Which grandson is he?" All the old ladies were overjoyed, and immediately thought of Edward Hughes and Richard Hughes. However, they had recently heard the news that they had a girlfriend. Could it be another person from Hughes Family?

"He's the son of my second son!"

Everyone would naturally be eager to let their granddaughter succeed in this marriage.

Even if it wasn't Edward or Richard, as long as he was the children of the Hughes Family, his family won't be poor.

At seven in the evening, many people were seated in a private room of the restaurant.

Jack Hughes was happily attending the banquet, but when he pushed the door open, he was stunned.

Next to each old lady sat a young woman.

After she saw him, the old lady Hughes beckoned to him. "Jack, come over here and sit beside me."

Jack Hughes reacted in a second.

But it was already impossible for him to turn around and leave.

"Grandmother!" Jack did not like this kind of occasion, and he disliked it even more than everyone else in Hughes Family.

He didn't have Edward's wealth, nor could he compare with Richard's looks. But some people would always use all kinds of ways to compare, and even if they did not say it out loud, their eyes would still be exposed. Thus, Jack did not like sitting in front of these old ladies and eating.

Jack could only force a smile and sat beside Old Lady Hughes.

Old Lady Hughes patted his shoulder and introduced him: "This is my second grandson, Jack Hughes. He is developing abroad at present, but it won't be long before he comes back to the county. There will be more chances to meet in the future."

When a few women saw Jack Hughes, more or less, they revealed a touch of disappointment. Even though they didn't say a single word, their eyes no longer held the same anticipation as before.

The atmosphere couldn't help but be awkward.

Those women were disappointed, but the group of old ladies were still very passionate. As they were very old, they weren't very vigilant of Jack, and only hoped that their granddaughter would be able to get his love. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

When Jack was questioned about his career by a few women, he was initially very confident. However, as a member of the Hughes Family, he was unable to say that he only had one listed company. Therefore, he could only reply them simply.

After dinner, the old lady went next door to play cards with the other old ladies, leaving the young people to chat.

As Jack looked at these well-off women, he inquired about their work. All of them pouted their lips and told him that apart from eating and drinking, they did not need to work. Now, they only had to worry about how to play, where to play, and how to play to their heart's content.

Jack sneered in his heart. Were they telling him that once they got married, they would no longer need to work, but only need to learn how to spend money,?

Heh!
