Chapter 479 Edward & Moira 24

Without Edward, Moira tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She picked up her phone to check the time; it was already midnight.

Just as she was about to turn off the screen, some news notifications popped up on her phone.

Seeing the name 'Edward,' her heart started to race.

She opened it and saw both pictures and text.

It was a photo taken in a hospital room, with Edward sitting beside a hospital bed, and a woman with flushed cheeks lying on the bed.

The accompanying text suggested that Edward from the York Group was suspected of having a romantic relationship with Linnet, the youngest daughter of the Aguilar family.

Moira pressed her lips tightly together. So, the dinner he mentioned was with another woman?

But why did he use Vance's phone to call her?

Moira didn't know, but she felt a bit sad.

She thought Edward might have his reasons, or maybe he didn't care about her feelings. After all, she was just his mistress.

Once he got tired of her, he would naturally let her go.

She took a deep breath and started browsing her phone for new recipes, preparing materials for tomorrow's video shoot.

After some time, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Moira quickly put her phone on the bedside table and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Edward was back. He placed his phone on the table and walked to the bedroom door, looking at the lump under the covers. His previously agitated mood instantly calmed down.

He felt that Moira had a kind of magic that could soothe his emotions.

Smelling the scent of smoke, alcohol, and hospital disinfectant on himself, he went to the guest bathroom to take a shower.

After a quick rinse and drying his hair, he went to the kitchen and drank a bowl of ginger juice.

The sweet and sour taste reminded him of Moira.

He tiptoed into the bedroom, slipped under the covers, and gently pressed against Moira's back.

Although they used the same shower gel, Moira's scent was sweet, perhaps her natural fragrance.

Edward liked it very much and couldn't help but sniff her neck.

The sudden tickle made Moira shrink her neck.

Edward whispered, "You're not asleep? Why are you ignoring me?"

He turned her around and looked into her eyes in the silver moonlight.

He gently stroked her face and found her cheeks were wet.

Had she been crying?

Edward frowned. He wanted to turn on the light to see, but Moira stopped him.

"Don't turn on the light, I'm fine."

Edward sat up and held Moira in his arms. "What's wrong?"

Moira leaned against Edward's chest. "If you like another woman or are planning to date or get engaged, please tell me in advance. I don't want to be treated as a mistress."

Edward was confused. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Moira lowered her eyes. "I know. Actually, you were with another woman tonight. There's no need to hide it from me. I won't cling to you."

"What other woman? What are you talking about?" Edward thought for a moment. Could she be talking about Linnet?

He asked, "If you're talking about Linnet, she's the sister of my childhood friend Gavin. Gavin asked me to pick her up from the airport and take her to the Red Rose Bistro for dinner. Coincidentally, I had a dinner there too. During a bathroom break, I found out that someone had drugged Linnet, so I took her to the hospital. Gavin was too drunk to come, so I asked Vance to investigate, and I stayed with Linnet until he came to replace me. Then I came home."

Moira stared at Edward in a daze. "Are you explaining this to me?"

"Yes." Edward sighed. "But how did you know I was with her?"

Moira crawled over, grabbed her phone, and showed him the news.

Edward's eyes narrowed, and the light from the phone cast a shadow on his face, making him look very grim.

"Then why did you use Vance's phone to call me?"

"My phone was thrown into the sink by Linnet and got waterlogged. Vance took it to get it fixed, and I can only get it back tomorrow."

"Okay." Moira felt a bit happy inside. At least Edward was willing to explain to her.

Edward ruffled her hair. "Silly girl, you couldn't sleep because of this?"

"No." Moira argued, "I was just thinking about the material for tomorrow's video."

"Really? You seem to have a lot of energy. Since you're not sleepy, shall we do something else?"

With that, Edward pressed her down, his Adam's apple bobbing as he looked at Moira's face.

Moira blushed and her heart raced under his gaze, so she turned her head away.

Edward's voice was hoarse. "Moira, look at me."

Moira was mesmerized by Edward's deep voice and turned to look at him.

Edward didn't kiss her, but his fingers moved restlessly, wanting to see her in a state of desire.

"Do you want to make love? Just say it, and I'll satisfy you."

Moira bit her lower lip, finding it hard to speak.

"Edward, you're a jerk!"

At this moment, she just wanted to curse him.

And only at this moment did she dare to curse him.

But Edward liked it very much. He loved seeing her in a state of passion. He lowered his head and kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes, tracing her lips with his tongue.

"Beg me?"

Moira cried, "Please, make love to me."

Edward's breathing became heavier. He bit her earlobe. "Moira, you're a seductive enchantress!"

It wasn't until dawn that the passion ended.

Edward held the sleeping Moira in his arms. He hadn't known how wonderful a gentle woman could be, but now he did, and he wanted to indulge in it.

Moira slept deeply. When she opened her eyes, she found a large hand covering her.

Do all men like this part?

She didn't know about other men, but Edward did.

She moved Edward's arm away and tried to get out of bed, but her legs felt weak.

She turned to glare at Edward, only to see him propping his head up with one hand, smiling at her.

She swallowed nervously. "You're awake?"

Edward laughed. "I was afraid if I didn't wake up, you'd glare me to death. Come here."

Moira crawled back under the covers and was pulled into his arms. "What's wrong?"

"Don't believe those rumors anymore. If you want to know something, just ask me directly." Edward kissed her forehead. "Want to take a shower?"

Moira nodded slightly.

Edward raised an eyebrow. "Then let's do it together?"

"No!"

"Objection overruled!"

After the shower, Edward felt refreshed. He looked like a refined scoundrel as he admired the weak Moira lying on the bed.

Moira moved her fingers. "You can't keep making love like this. Your body will wear out."

"Don't worry, as long as your body is fine, mine won't break."

Moira ignored Edward's words, feeling like the shower was wasted.

Edward walked over, bent down, and gave her a kiss. "Be good. When you wake up, pack our bags. I'll take you to Valhalla tonight."

Moira's eyes lit up. "Are you taking me on a trip?"

Edward tapped her nose. "The trip is secondary. The main thing is a project over there."

Although he said that, when they got to Valhalla, she realized he was really taking her to relax.
