The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 253

In the bedroom, the dim light of the table lamp east a romantic glow on the picturesque scenery.

Grace made an effort to regain her composure, taking advantage of a brief gap to skillfully flip her upper body. With her hands and elbows pressing against his collarbone, she prevented him from approaching again.

Her chest heaved up and down heavily, gasping for breath after his punishment just now.

Caught by the coldness in her gaze, Eder’s handsome face wrinkled, his eyes reddened at the corners. His black pupils glistened, showing a hint of distress. “Grace, are you trying to suffocate

me?”

Grace witnessed the expression of helplessness on his face for the first time, and her heart skipped a

beat.

“Grace…”

After struggling for a few seconds, Grace succumbed to his exquisite acting skills and his irresistible charm. “Turn off the lights! And don’t leave any marks on my neck!”

Eder smirked triumphantly and switched off the bedside lamp with a crisp sound.

Moonlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains, casting scattered beams on the bed, obscuring the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

A night of intimacy.

Morning came.

Grace had slept deeply throughout the night. She was awakened by Eder’s kiss.

When she woke up, she found him lying beside her, his hand propping up his head, elbow resting on the pillow. His thin lips curved into a sensuous smile, and his deep, mesmerizing black eyes stared at her unwaveringly.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

Grace glanced at him, rolled over, and continued to sleep. “I’m exhausted, I’m sleepy.”

Eder embraced her waist and moved her closer to him, resting her head in the crook of his arm.

She didn’t resist, and soon fell asleep again, in a daze.

Eder watched her with affection, his well–defined fingers sliding gently along her upturned nose.

Having her in his life made him so happy, and he would remember it forever.

Even if he had to give up his life in the future, he would have no regrets!

Her nose tickled under his touch, causing her eyebrows to furrow. “What are you doing?”

Eder leaned closer to her ear, his deep voice serious. “Grace, how about we establish three rules? In private, I’ll listen to you in everything, but outside, try to listen to me as much as possible. What do you think?

Grace fell silent for a moment.

Men are concerned about their reputation, especially someone like Eder, who sits at the top of the pyramid and has a group of subordinates who obey his orders. His authority cannot be violated in

public.

He wanted her to play the role of a gentle and vulnerable wife in public, and Grace understood that.

“Okay.”

Eder kissed her forehead, satisfied with her answer. “Then, how long do you plan to stay in bed? Don’t you need to deal with Abigail’s trending news today?”

“Right! The trending news!”

Grace instantly woke up and reached for her phone on the bedside table.

Last night, she was too engrossed in fooling around with Eder and forgot to charge her phone. She didn’t have much battery left, and it had already shut down.

She pGracegged in the phone and waited for a few minutes before turning it back on.

As soon as it powered on, she saw a flood of missed calls.

Most of them were from Beth and Eleven.

Did something happen to Abigail for Eleven to call her so many times?

She dialed Eleven’s number back.

“Miss, you finally answered the call! Reporters and media have surrounded the hospital, insisting on interviewing Miss Abigail. The security guards from the Twelve United Hospital had to block the doors together. I don’t know how long they can hold on!”

Grace’s expression immediately turned serious. “How is Abigail’s mental state now? Can she handle the interview?”

Eleven glanced into the ward. “She seems unstable, and the reporters‘ questions are usually sharp. It might touch upon Miss Abigail’s sensitive spots.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll come right away.”

She hung up the phone, but as soon as she stood up, her legs couldn’t stop trembling. It took her a moment to steady herself by grabbing the bedside table.

Eder was too harsh last night!

Punishing her for most of the night, she barely had any rest, and now it was already morning.

On the other hand, Eder’s face was well nourished, radiating a sense of vitality after a good night’s sleep. He was full of energy.

Indeed, there was a significant difference in physical stamina between men and women.

Grace refocused her thoughts. Eder’s arm gently encircled her waist from behind, and he rested his chin on her shoulder.

“Going out?”

“Yes.”

“How about having breakfast first?”

“No, I have to quickly tidy up and go to the hospital first,” she replied, not idle as she swiftly changed into a dress

Eder didn’t stop her, but asked, “Do you need my help?

“No, it’s just a small matter.”

She turned her head towards the door, and Eder pulled her back into his arms, pinching her chin and looking at her earnestly with his dark eyes.

“Grace, you are not alone anymore. You have to learn to make use of your man!”

He emphasized the word “use” and his lips curved into a mischievous smile.

A clever play on words.

Grace bGraceshed slightly and pretended not to understand, saying, “I understand. If I have any problems I can’t solve, I will come to you.”

Eder nodded gently, satisfied.

Without his interference, Grace freshened up and quickly put on light makeup before leaving the

house.

All the entrances and exits of the hospital were crowded with reporters and media because of Abigail, who was in the hospital.

Grace drove her car directly into the parking lot, as it had stricter control over the flow of people. Only a few sporadic media personnel were waiting at the exit.

In the ward, Abigail’s condition had improved compared to yesterday, but her face was still pale and haggard.

“Take a look at this.” Grace handed her phone to Abigail, and there was a text message with an apology written by Peter overnight.

Abigail took it and as she read further, her eyes gradually turned red and she couldn’t hold back her

tears

She was Grace’s only friend in Frant City Welfare Home, and seeing her so heartbroken, Grace couldn’t help but feel sad as well.

“Abigail, this scumbag, besides being a star in Starlight now and having a good family background, just a mere affair won’t completely destroy him. Moreover, he has many fans on the internet who help cover up for him. If we want to kick him out of the entertainment industry, we’ll have to put in more effort.”

Grace handed her a tissue box and continued. “However, as long as you want to, 1 can do everything in my power to make him and Elizabeth pay a hundredfold price.”

“There is no need for that.” Abigail wiped her tears away. Her eyes, which had become swollen from crying, looked unusually resoGracete. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Grace, you have already helped me so much. I can’t trouble you anymore. I’ll handle the rest on my own! I want to personally enjoy the pleasure of revenge!”

When she saw this little piece of writing personally edited by Peter, she felt furious.

Because Peter, both implicitly and explicitly, was still mocking her, saying it was all her fault. He appeared to apologize but was secretly blaming her, while believing in the innocence of true love.

It was all bullshit!

“I’m glad to see you regain your strength!” Grace tidied up her earlobe. “Starting from today, you are my highly regarded top artist. I hope you can win the Best Actress award this year with your talent, and let Peter see clearly that he gave up on a precious gem. That Elizabeth is not worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as you!”

“Thank you, Grace.” Abigail hugged her tightly, her heart filled with countless emotions.

She had no parents and had lived as an orphan for over twenty years. Her only stroke of Graceck was meeting Grace.

“The hospital is swarmed with reporters. It’s not peaceful here. I’ll take you to a different place to stay. How about a few days of rest and recover fully before making a comeback?”

Abigail shook her head. “This time, I won’t run away. Let those media people come in. I can handle even the sharpest questions. One day, I want Peter and Elizabeth to kneel and bow before millions of viewers!”
