One night stand with my president(Chapter 384)

Chapter 384: Don't Want to Miss It

Not long after the police took Milania away, Edward and Alondra left the house.

They got into a white car, with a driver who worked for Harrison, taking them to meet Britney.

There was no one else in the car.

By now, Edward had already met with Lorenzo and other members of the Thomson family.

Lorenzo had already made it clear: if Edward wanted to leave, he could.

So there was no need to keep an eye on him any longer.

The car quickly stopped in front of a hotel.

"Room 302," the driver told them.

Edward and Alondra got out of the car and headed to the third floor.

"Daddy, where is this?" Alondra asked. 

"Aren't we going back to Grandpa's house?"

"We're here to find Mommy," Edward replied.

"Mommy!" Alondra's face lit up, forgetting all about the big mansion and delicious food. 

"I haven't seen you in days!"

They reached room 302, and Edward pushed open the door.

Sure enough, Britney was inside.

She looked fine physically, but her face was filled with undisguised anxiety.

Upon seeing them, her eyes immediately sparkled with hope.

"Darling, Alondra, you finally came to see me!"

Britney rushed into Edward's arms.

Britney said, "They've kept me here, not letting me go to the Thomson family. What am I supposed to do?"

Over the past couple of days, Harrison's people had made sure she was fed and let her go out for walks, but they still wouldn't let her into the Thomson family.

She could go anywhere else but not to the Thomson family.

In fact, they even said she could be back to

Yewhina if she wanted.

Britney was about to go mad with frustration.

To her, this was the worst possible outcome.

Edward and Alondra had returned to the Thomson family, but she couldn't even get through the gates.

"It's Okay. I'm here." Edward gently patted her back, trying to soothe her. "I brought Alondra to see you, didn't I?"

"Mommy!" Alondra tugged at her sleeve. "I missed you so much."

Britney looked down at Alondra.

She saw Alondra was wearing a beautiful princess dress, clearly worth a lot of money.

A surge of resentment flared up in her chest.

"You miss me, yet why didn't you ask your grandpa to bring me into the Thomson family?" Britney poked Alondra's forehead.

"You're living the good life at the Thomson family, eating well and drinking well, and you've already forgotten all about me, haven't you?"

Alondra was too frightened to speak, looking at her with wide eyes.

"Why are you saying this to the child?" 

Edward frowned. "She doesn't understand. She's only seven."

"Mommy, I haven't forgotten you..." Alondra whispered.

"Then go tell Grandpa," Britney said urgently.

"Tell him to bring your mommy into the Thomson family too. Do you really want to watch me suffer outside?"

She hit Edward's arm as she spoke, tears in her eyes. "I've been with you for over ten years, and now that you're back at the Thomson family, enjoying a good life, you just left me behind, didn't you?"

"I didn't!" Edward grabbed her wrist sharply.

"What's with all the drama?"

Just then, some other hotel guests passed by the hallway and glanced at them curiously.

"Let's close the door first. We should talk this out. Do you want to make a scene for everyone to see?" Edward said.

After he closed the door, he sat down on the sofa with Alondra in his arms.

Britney sat on the bed, wiping away her tears.

"Lorenzo has already spoken," Edward said quietly. "He doesn't mind me being with you."

Britney instantly became excited. "Really? So, are you here to take me back to the Thomson family?"

Edward's expression dimmed, and he shook his head. "Lorenzo said I can continue to be with you, but he doesn't agree with you joining the Thomson family. So, I either choose you or the Thomson family."

The flicker of hope in Britney's heart was extinguished in an instant.

"How can he do this?" Britney's voice rose in a sharp tone. "Hasn't Myra already divorced you? What reason does he have now to stop me from entering the Thomson family? I am Alondra's mother!".

"You don't understand Lorenzo." Edward shook his head painfully.

"Is he blaming me for seducing you and running away with you back then? But it was you who suggested it in the first place," Britney complained. "Why does everything fall on me?"

"Enough. Don't bring up the past," Edward said, clearly irritated. "Lorenzo knows that it was both our fault, but l'm his real son. He's soft-hearted toward me because he's getting older. You have no blood relation to him-he won't be soft on you. But he did say that the three of us could leave together again, and he won't stop us."

At this point, he fell silent.

Britney also stopped speaking.

At this moment, both of them were thinking the same thing.

Neither of them wanted to leave just like this, especially Edward.

After returning to the Thomson family and enjoying the luxurious life again... he couldn't bear to leave.

And now, he wasn't as impulsive as he had been in his younger days, no longer yearning for freedom.

As for Britney, she had always wanted to enter the Thomson family back then.

But she never had the chance.

Now that the chance was finally here, she didn't want to miss it.

Her mind raced as she forced herself to calm down.

Then, she sat next to Edward and softly said,

"Darling, I was too impulsive just now and didn't treat you well. Please don't be mad. And Alondra, please don't be upset with Mommy, okay?"

Without Edward and Alondra, she would never be able to enter the Thomson family.

So she couldn't afford to tear her relationship with her husband and daughter apart.

"How about this?" Britney said to Edward. 

"You stay at the Thomson family with Alondra, and I'll stay outside for now. The

Thomson family is so rich, just secretly send me some help, and they'll never know. Then, let Alondra go to Lorenzo from time to time to speak to him. Alondra is his granddaughter, his youngest one— he must love her dearly."

Edward thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I suppose that's the only option."

"By the way, there are two people who might be able to help us," Britney's mind clicked. 

"Myra, and your son's girlfriend... what's her name again?"

"Adeline." Edward had heard the servants mention her name quite a bit recently.

"Yes, Adeline. I've noticed that she and your son have a good relationship. If we ask her for help, maybe she can persuade your son. That could work."

Edward furrowed his brow.

Adeline was one thing, but he didn't think they could ask Myra for help.

"I know what you're thinking, but since Myra divorced you, it means she doesn't care about you anymore. She's been filial to Lorenzo for years, and he should at least listen to her, right?"
