He Wants Two Wives She Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 7

Edwin scanned the room before his gaze fell on the suitcase in Victoria's hands. His soft innocent voice carried a hint of seriousness. "Mommy, why are you holding a suitcase?"

Victoria opened her mouth but struggled to think of a reasonable explanation.

"It's for me." Leon squatted down to meet him at eye level. "I'm going on a business trip for a few days. You behave and listen to Mommy while I'm away, alright?"

Edwin obediently nodded. "Okay."

Leon ruffled his hair. "Good boy."

"Who's this lady?" Edwin's gaze shifted to Eva.

"She's my secretary, and she's coming with me on the business trip." Leon lied effortlessly.

Victoria's grip on the suitcase tightened, but her face betrayed none of the emotions stirring inside her.

Leon got up and walked over to take the suitcase. Then as if it were the most natural thing in the world, he pressed a kiss on her lips and gently said, "I'm leaving now. Call me if you miss me, okay?"

Victoria forced herself to endure the discomfort and stiffly replied with a hum.

"That's more like it. I'll be back really soon." Leon tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, and his fingers trailed down the curve of her earlobe. He caressed her intimately.

"Hurry up and leave, or you'll miss your flight," Victoria urged.

Every extra second of close contact with him felt unbearable. Now she just wanted him gone as soon as possible.

Leon noticed her rejection. Before leaving, he dipped his head on purpose and stole another kiss from her lips in quick fleeting actions, barely giving her the chance to resist.

By the time she looked up in anger, he'd walked out with her suitcase and Eva following behind him.

"Mommy," Edwin said just as they left.

Victoria adjusted herself and turned to face him with the best smile. "What's up?"
