Chapter 349 A Press Conference (Part Three)


    "Chris." Seeing Chrise closer, Edward suddenly became kind. He gently held Chris'' hand and let


    her introduce Sam to him. "Dad, this is Sam, my boyfriend. You have met him before."


    "Hello sir, how are you?" Sam politely said to Edward. Though his wee was not very enthusiastic,


    it''s not an indifferent one either.


    "Hello." As the three people were chatting, Rachel also went near the restroom. After waiting by the


    door for a while, a big hand quietly reached out from the men''s room, tightly grabbed her arm and


    snatched her inside. She screamed out. When she saw who it was, she then breathed deeply to calm


    down. "What are you doing?!


    Are you crazy, pulling me inside the men''s room?!"


    "I missed you so much." Rachel once enjoyed his touch on her body. She missed that too. But she


    calmed down and immediately pulled him to a corner when she realized that she was inside the men''s


    room. The task she had set for Roger remained unfinished. She pounded on his chest and asked,


    "Why did you do that to me? You are mad."


    Then she impatiently fixed her clothes, pretended to be cold, and asked him, "Have youpleted


    your task? What''s the dy? Are you having trouble?"


    "Rachel, my dear baby." The wannabe actor rubbed her soft hand. "You are my only love in this life


    time. How can I seduce a woman I don''t love? I feel guilty doing that."


    Rachel sneered, feeling that he was just ying her. "What garbage is this! You have a job to do.


    Remember, it is I who let you do this. Do it! Once it is done, I''ll satisfy all your needs. I promise you."


    "Really?" Roger raised his eyebrow and looked at Rachel. "What if...


    I want you to divorce your ancient husband and marry me?"


    The veteran actress was stunned. It was hard to believe that an attractive young actor like Roger could


    actually fall in love with her.


    She frowned, then thought that as long as he was useful to her, it''s better to have him dangling for now.


    Smiling sincerely, she kissed him on his cheek. "If you do what we agreed on, I will not only marry you.


    I will have your baby."


    "Okay, great! You have promised me! Remember to keep it!" Shallow newbie actors were so easy to


    control. Holding her waist, he whispered in her ear, "You will love what I''m going to do. It will be perfect.


    But...


    Not today."


    "Why not?!" Rachel pushed him away in anger. To seduce Autumn was the only reason she let him


    Why did he not say this when she called him?


    "Listen to me..." Roger was unfazed and winked at Rachel, who was seething mad. "Just think. Today


    is her birthday, and all people are focused on her. If I seduce her here, everyone around her will


    immediately suspect something. If I mess this up, I might not get another chance.


    Don''t worry, honey. I intend to keep my word. Recently, I have been going to her office every day. She


    won''t admit it but she now has a good impression of me. I will just need a bit more time


    To do it."


    "Are you serious?" Rachel looked at Roger with hesitation.


    In order to show his confidence, Roger patted his chest, then smiled. "Please, you can rest assured, I


    will sessfully handle this."


    Rachel had to admit that he was reasonable this time. It''s impossible to do that today. Also, she had


    someone else working for her.


    Roger hugged her tightly and buried his face on her breast when she was tidying her clothes and fixing


    her make-up. He tried to take more advantage of her but then he gave up. "Honey, I have to go. I can''t


    let other people see us. Okay?"


    "Don''t forget what you have promised me." The young actor winked then left.


    Afterwards, Rachel finished fixing her make-up. She went back to the banquet hall and saw Edward


    chatting with Chris. She hated what she saw. It instantly made her angry.


    She just wanted to teach Autumn a lesson. However, she did not expect, that a few threats were all


    around her. She had to watch herself at every moment. She gathered herposure and went near


    them, with a visibly fake smile, then wrapped her arms around Edward''s. "What are we happily talking


    about here?"


    "Nothing." Chris said coldly as she red at Rachel, then turned to Edward and lovingly said to her


    father, "Dad, I''ll be back with Sam soon. If you have spare time, remember to call me."


    "Okay, okay, sweetie." Edwardughed, as if he heard something sprinkled with sugar dust. However,


    Rachel''s face turned red with fury but no one noticed her.


    After Chris left, she took her husband''s hand and asked, "Seriously, what were you talking about? Why


    did you all fall silent when I came?"


    She was afraid that Chris came to take her share of Edward''s possessions. All that talk with Roger in


    the bathroom made her think that it might actually be the time for her to have a baby. But she was not


    pregnant. And that''s a problem.


    Edward caught a glimpse of Rachel''s worried face, "What are you worrying about? I just talked about


    her recent condition. Why you are so anxious whenever I talk to my own daughter?" the senior said,


    sounding a bit irritated.


    "It''s not because of that...I..." Rachel looked at Edward with vulnerable eyes. "My dear, what happened


    to you recently?


    Why do you treat me like this?"


    Rachel believed that Chris was being a hindrance that needed to be hurdled in her rtionship with


    Edward. He used to be at her feet, satisfying any demand she raised. But at present, he tended to


    criticize her every time he felt impatient. And that usually happened when Chris was around.

    Rachel felt insulted and said to Edward with a trembling voice, "I just wanted to know what you were


    talking about. What was wrong with that? I''m her stepmother. You are married to me. Don''t you want


    me to care about her?"


    Rachel sounded more and more depressed, "If you didn''t want me to say all these, then why did you


    marry me? It seems that you are happy just having a daughter."


    "Oh, you..." After hearing what his wife had to say, Edward''s heart softened. It was true that he had


    gotten too aggressive. He reached out his hand and held Rachel''s tofort her, "I am so sorry my


    dear wife. I never meant to hurt you. You know that Chris cannot ept you yet. Just give her more


    time, please."


    Rachel stood angrily. "I''m giving her time! The question is not about that! Actually it is about you two


    against me! Tomorrow I''ll pack all my belongings and leave your house to give you two some space!"


    "Calm down, dear. Don''t act like a child." The disadvantages of having a much younger wife had


    be apparent. Once she''s unhappy, he would need tofort her without any excuse, or else she


    would cry out.


    "Don''t cry please. Now many people here know you. And there are cameras everywhere. It''s not proper


    to cry here." Edward almost used all jokes he knew to let Rachel smile through her tears.


    Rachel seized this opportunity to raise her demands to Edward. "Dear, now that I''m your wife, you


    shouldn''t lie to me, remember?"


    "Okay, okay, I know. I''ll tell you everything..." Edwardforted Rachel immediately to pacify his


    hysterical wife.


    Meanwhile, Arthur got on the stage, held the microphone given by the host. After looking around the


    whole stage, he finally found Autumn and focused on her. A proud smile appeared on his face.
