The CEO’s Substitute Lover

Octavia Gills couldn’t help but smile, a sudden warmth of being needed came over her, and raised her voice as well, “Yes, at the end of the month!”

“Yes! Yes! I’ll tell everyone right away so we can all have some fun together.”

Putting down the phone, Octavia Gills breathed a sigh of relief; the decision had been made suddenly, but it was time for her to make a decision.

Gar’s operation was a success, a wish she had had for many years was finally fulfilled.

The most important person to thank for this is Tredan Davi, without whom it would have been difficult for her to achieve.

The sourness in Tredan’s heart rises again at the thought.

What she owes, she will pay.

Tredan Davi was engaged to Lilian Drye, and at the engagement party it was also announced that they would be married in three months, and the dust had settled. He didn’t want to stay and let his heart suffer through it all.

Twenty years ago, Drye Family told her that she was going to be a stand-in for a young teenager who was looking after the prince. Twenty years later, she became the secret lover of the young teenager of that year, but Lilian is right, she was, in fact, just a stand-in.

My nose is sore and I have no more tears to shed.

Octavia Gills felt that the caregiver aunt and Domino were right, I had a fever, burned everything in one go, and woke up to be reborn.

All these years, she was trapped by the memory of that tiny boy, always chasing after him, even if he never cared. Now it was time to wake up from this dream, she should no longer be forced to own what never belonged to her.

Previously, she wanted to take her mother and Gar abroad with her.

Now she had changed her mind. Gar was right, her mother deserved her happiness in her old age, and following herself to a strange country might not be good for them.

Besides, without them, how would Eldwin live in his old age? Eldwin had done so much for the three of them over the years, and to her and Gar, Eldwin was family.

She shouldn’t be too selfish and impose her ideas on others.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She decided to find an opportunity to ask Eldwin for his opinion.

Without waiting for her to approach, Eldwin came to her on his initiative.

On this night, Domino called to say that she had a meeting and could not come to stay with her.

Eldwin told Elda to go back and get some rest and make some more soup porridge for Octavia Gills, he stayed behind with Octavia Gills, and Elda was relieved to go back.

Looking at her mum’s back, Octavia said to Eldwin, “Eldwin, mum is listening to you more and more now.”

Eldwin also smiled and said offhandedly, “Your mother, she is dependent on others, she always does what people tell her, she can’t let others down even if she has to put herself down, she is too kind.

Octavia Gills was moved by the sight of Eldwin, who was setting up her meal and holding the chopsticks for her.

“Eldwin, you know my mother so well.”

“Oh, I’ve known your mother since she first came to the Drye Family, it’s been over twenty years, how can I not know her? The more I know, yeah, the more uneasy I get about her.”

“Eldwin, I don’t remember anything about my dad and I can’t help but think of you whenever I felt that I needed him.”

Eldwin smiles as he hears and reminisces with Octavia about the naughty and heartwarming times when the two siblings were little.

After watching Octavia eat, Eldwin put the cutlery away and handed her a glass of warm water.

“Octavia, I have always treated you as my daughter, and it’s just as well Domino isn’t coming today, I sent your mother back because I have something I want to tell you.”

Octavia Gills was a little surprised, “Eldwin, please do tell.”

“When you fainted that day, I felt that things weren’t that simple, so I pressed Domino about you. It was hard for me to see you with blisters all over your mouth for the past two days, my daughter, I feel that you are so bitter inside.”

Octavia Gills froze, she had always tried to hide her emotions from her family, showing her happiness but not her sadness, but she didn’t think Eldwin would notice this.

“Don’t blame your mother, she’s used to being discreet, she’s a grateful person, and she paid back Mrs. Drye’s kindness by working like a horse, even including her children. You don’t owe the Drye Family anymore, the Drye Family paid for your education as compensation for accompanying the prince, it’s already been settled, if the prince of the Davi Family falls in love with you, it’s between you and your mother, it can’t be compensated by the kindness of the Drye Family to your mother, remember, you don’t owe anyone. ”

“Domino said that your original company in Japan has invited you many times, Ms. Lilian and Mr. Tredan are already engaged and soon to be married again, feelings, can’t be forced, no matter how much you don’t want to, what happens, is called the truth, whether you want to accept it or not, you have to make yourself accept it, my child, you go, go to Japan, live well for your dreams and live for yourself!”

Octavia Gills looked at Eldwin, her eyes blurred with tears. Ever since she was a little girl, her mother had always talked about the great kindness of Mrs. Drye in taking in the three of them, telling them to remember this great kindness and to try to repay it in their lives. So when she agreed to the Drye Family’s request without hesitation, she wanted to repay the favor of taking in the three of them.

Octavia Gills did not feel the least bit resentful, but it was her mother, and having been brought up that way, over time she had become somewhat timid and humble, feeling indebted to everyone, and now Eldwin told her that she owed no one, a statement that made her feel sad.

Eldwin gently pushed her hair behind and whispered in her ear, “Octavia, in Eldwin’s eyes, you are the best and the best girl in the world, you deserve all the happiness that other girls have, you have to live for yourself, understand?”

“Eldwin,” Octavia Gills choked.

“As for Gar and your mother, you don’t have to worry. We’ve spoken to the doctor in the morning and he’ll give us medical advice on what to do after he’s discharged from the hospital, and we’ll take good care of Gar. Your mother and I have also long discussed opening a small restaurant together, we are both perfectly capable of doing it on our own, we are not looking to be rich and famous, we are just looking at settling down.”

Octavia Gills calmed down a bit, “Eldwin, I just got off the phone with the company’s president in Japan and I’ve decided to go over at the end of the month.”

“Yes! Uncle supports you.” Eldwin was delighted.

“I used to want to take Gar and Mum with me.”

Octavia Gills paused, and sure enough, Eldwin’s look dimmed, she understood and continued, “But Gar made a point of handing me something before the operation because he was afraid it would fail, and he said??”

Eldwin didn’t expect Gar to even leave his last words and looked nervously at Octavia Gills.

Octavia Gills shook Eldwin’s hand and said solemnly, “We’re asking you to be our dad!”

Eldwin was dumbfounded, then his face turned red, and waved his hands as he rose, “This, this??”

Octavia Gills feigned surprise, “Eldwin, it was me and Gar who thought too much, wasn’t it? So, don’t you want to?”

“Ah, no, no, no!” Eldwin was incoherent and nervously denied it.

Watching Eldwin, Octavia Gills couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Eldwin, about mother, shall I and Gar go and tell her, or should you go yourself?” Octavia Gills smiled crookedly at the nervous and coy man, and her heart rejoiced.

The engagement ceremony was so grand that the Drye Family was pleased and Lilian Drye began to accompany Tredan Davi every day, watching over her fianc??e every inch of the way, and no one else minded because now the Davi and Drye families were working together to develop the land they had previously auctioned. Tredan Davi, on the other hand, has left all the business to Eddison since he was installed at the head office, except for this property project.

Except for Lilian Drye, who has a spring in her step, everyone else seems to be having a hard time.

Lilian Drye watched Tredan Davi over 360 degrees, and although he steadfastly refuses her offer to live together and still goes back to the old house alone every night, not letting Lilian Drye stay there no matter what, he is also afraid to visit Octavia Gills at night, and he must not act rashly until his mother’s safety is guaranteed.

He missed Octavia Gills, he was going crazy, he had stopped being angry, Eddison, it was not a problem, Octavia Gills was his and he believed that Octavia Gills only loved him, he regretted always misinterpreting Octavia Gills because of his jealousy, but he loved her, he loved her so much that he could not see her with any man other than himself.

When Woodrow told him that Octavia Gills had seen their engagement on television, heard Lilian Drye’s declarations and his development plans and that Octavia Gills had fainted and had a fever of 40 degrees, he couldn’t wait to go to her, to apologize and tell her the truth. But he couldn’t, even take a step outside the old house to see her, though his heart was breaking.

Such an ordeal is like hell.

Ottilie was all smiles that day at the engagement ceremony, but deep inside, she hated it. It had already been arranged that Tredan Davi would leave the country so that he would never return, that Group Davi would naturally be taken over by Eddison, that Eddison would woo Lilian Drye, that the Drye family would be her backer, that everything would fall into place and that Althena Cockey would be like a mouse caught by a cat. Althena Cockey will live when she is told to live, and she will die when she is told to die.

But all these plans fell through, and who would have thought that Tredan Davi would suddenly come to the mansion and ask them to prepare for his engagement.

But it doesn’t matter, three months is a long time, and she will take this time to evaluate the situation and plan. There will always be a chance, everything in the Davi Family is her son’s and only her son’s!

It doesn’t matter if Lilian Drye doesn’t catch on, she’s not the only one who is a one-in-a-million girl. She must find a stronger link to a lady of the world to keep Eddison at the top.

He sees Octavia Gills’ heartbreak and despair, although he is hurt by Octavia Gills’ deep love.

But with Big Brother finally engaged, he must have secretly helped Lilian Drye and agreed to their marriage so that Octavia Gills would be his.

The more time you spend with Octavia Gills, the more you will love her.

He has been a flirt for many years and has known all sorts of girls, be they passionate, gentle, arrogant, or innocent, but none of them have brought him the warmth and calmness of Octavia Gills.

He always felt a sense of safety, of peace, around Octavia Gills. And as Octavia Gills says at all times, “It’s okay, I’m here.”

Octavia Gills will make you feel that happiness has nothing to do with money, it is simply happiness.

But to his surprise, his elder brother got engaged and pushed almost all the work to him.

He remembered his elder brother smiling grimly at him after handing over the job that day, “This is what your mother and you wanted most, isn’t it? You got what you wanted, Davi Family is all yours now.”

He did not want to take away his brother’s power at all. He longed for the family to live together in peace and harmony, but his brother decided that he and his mother had taken away his happiness. In fact, how could he and his mother be happy? His brother said that it was his mother who broke up his father and mother because of the power and influence of their family, so who stole their happiness now? The messy feud of their previous generation, why should he be made to bear it now?
