Chapter 182
“Nelissa!” Edward was a little crazy. His strong chest rose and fell.
Nelissa’s shoulders trembled. “You promised not to yell at me.”
Edward stared at her and adjusted his emotions. He rubbed his eyebrows with his beautiful hands and said, “Now tell me who gave birth to the child of Noelle for Nathan. Don’t let me misunderstand you.”
Nelissa honestly whispered, “I gave birth to you. I have only one man, nothing else.” She slowly reached out to touch his arm and tentatively called his name. “Edward…”
Edward was very angry and did not hold Nelissa’s hand. He knew that there was a kind of strange emotion in his mind besides anger. Yes, it was wonderful. A word that he had never experienced before was very suitable for him at this moment. He was 34 years old and had been floating for so many years. In the past, he really wanted to be single and liked freedom. He had never considered making up his mind. It was not that he had never thought about marriage or children. At his age, these two things had to be thought about.
After Nelissa appeared, he had more ideas. He was jealous that she had given birth to two little kids for Zayden, and he also wanted her to give birth to children for him. As for the children’s status, he had not thought about it at first. He just wanted to compete for this woman. Later, he found that he couldn’t. He became more and more greedy. This was not enough. He still wanted to get more for Nelissa. He wanted to completely monopolize all of her, his whole life, and even his whole life.
He came to a conclusion that if he wanted this woman to marry him, he must tie her up and ignore her past.
Now he suddenly told him that Noelle had been his child for Nathan, and he had a pair of four-year-old twins.
Edward was frustrated after getting angry. He put his arm on the steering wheel in front of him and whispered in a low voice, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were torturing me?”
Nelissa slowly retracted her hand, and her eyes were red.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
The red light had already turned green, and the car behind kept pressing the horn to urge them.
Nelissa didn’t say a word and didn’t even look at Edward. She looked out of the window with her porcelain-white face.
Edward turned the steering wheel and drove the car back to Nelissa’s apartment.
She didn’t say anything along the way. She didn’t calm down, digest, or think. Or she was so angry that she couldn’t think. Nelissa suddenly felt disappointed and depressed. She sighed out of the window unconsciously. She raised the back of her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes. She felt tired.
Edward frowned.
The luxury car drove into the community and stopped under the apartment building.
Nelissa unfastened her seat belt and asked to get out of the car.
Edward stared at her for a while and unlocked the automatic lock.
Nelissa did not hesitate to open the door and get out of the car. With a bang, she wanted to close the door hard. Suddenly, she was in a bad mood, but her body was not strong enough. The sound of her door closing was very low, and her head was dizzy. She held the car and shook it.
When Nelissa came to her senses, Edward had already come behind her. He held her slender waist with his big, warm hands, turned her around, and faced him. Nelissa wanted to take Noelle home for Nathan, but he refused. He held her waist with one hand and held her hand with the other. He looked at her clearly with his lowered eyes. “Are you angry? Just because I shouted at you?”
“No.” Nelissa shook her head and sniffed. She knew that she was not qualified to be angry, but her bad mood was getting worse. “Do you think I’m lying to you? Do you think that Noelle is not your child for Nathan, or you don’t want to be punished at all?”
She looked down at her toes, her cheeks were wet, and her eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor. She didn’t want to cry. “If you don’t want to admit it, then so be it. I gave birth to them at the beginning and didn’t intend to let them find a father. It’s just that Noelle likes you very much in the past Nathan. Even if you want to take them to test the DNA in the future, I hope you can use a more obscure method. Don’t be so direct. Open the door, I want to take them home.”
Edward was most afraid of Nelissa, as if she would never turn back once he let go of her. He locked her in the middle of the car and did not allow her to act on impulse. “Make it clear. When did I say that I don’t recognize them? Do you think I can doubt you just because you want to? Do you know that there’s a kind of person who can’t be saved and can’t be loved even if you run into a wall?”
Edward was probably this kind of person. When his good friend, Sean, pointed at Nelissa, he believed in her. When he was told that Nelissa had been his child for Nathan, he still believed in her. Without her, he was already deeply in love. Even if it was a southern wall that no one could say no to, he would still cut a path open. He believed in Nelissa’s character.
He believed that when he first met her, she had a silly smile on her face. She was pure.
Nelissa looked up at Edward with tears in her eyes and muttered, “Then your attitude just now…”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Yes, I’m angry.” Edward admitted it seriously. He slowly bent down and leaned against Nelissa’s soft body. He leaned his beautiful chin on Nelissa’s shoulder and asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you know why I’m angry?”
Nelissa’s heart was as fast as it could be. She slowly climbed onto Edward’s sturdy waist with her hands and hugged him tightly.
She didn’t know, or maybe she knew.
Edward’s voice was low and magnetic. “I’m thinking if you tell me from the beginning that our current situation will be completely different. I will be responsible for you and marry you. I will never let you and our child go out and suffer.”
Edward was angry because he not only missed Nelissa for five years, but also missed their children for five years. He didn’t do anything. He didn’t see the way Nelissa gave birth to his children. He felt it was a pity, a very weak pity. However, Nelissa had come back to Haleston City for so long and kept hiding from him. How could she!
Nelissa said, “I don’t dare to tell you that you are responsible for me because you like me and have feelings for me. But in the beginning, we… have no emotional foundation between us. You can’t be responsible for a strange woman. At most, you will give me a sum of money to get rid of the child. But I want to keep them.”
Nelissa didn’t like Edward at first. It was just a drop in the bucket. Who would be shameless enough to stay and ask a strange man to take responsibility? She left. It was her own decision to give birth to the baby. She should bear the consequences of her own decision. So when she returned to Haleston City and met Edward again, she really didn’t want Edward to take responsibility for her.
Maybe it was fate, but she still fell in love with Edward. The past five years were like twists and turns.
Edward lowered his head and held Nelissa tightly in his arms. He blew a breath into her ear and whispered, “Who said you were a strange woman?”
“Hmm?” Nelissa was confused.
For Edward, Nelissa was no stranger to him. He had liked her intermittently for nine years. He had tried every means to forget her and keep her away from him. He had persuaded himself to give up a woman who was not suitable for him and stand outside of her world to never disturb him, but he knew very well that he had never left her. After five years of missing Nelissa, he felt wronged and unwilling. After he made up his mind to sleep with her, he did not intend to be a passer-by in her world. He would become her only man to take responsibility for her.
They had five years to cultivate feelings for each other, but it was wasted.
“I’ve known you for a long time,” Edward said. She was so shocked that she raised her head in his arms and stared blankly at his handsome face.
“Knock knock knock.” Nathan later, the car window was rolled down slowly. The two babies woke up and leaned on the window. They looked at Edward’er and Nelissa with sparkling eyes. “Mom and Dad, when you are flirting, don’t forget that we are still in the car. There are many cases of suffocation in the car now. You should weigh the pros and cons.”
Nelissa blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Edward pressed the key and the car door was unlocked. He opened the door to let the baby get off and asked Nelissa, “Do they know?”
Nelissa nodded honestly. “Yes.”
Edward narrowed his eyes and pinched her slim waist. “I’m the last one to know, huh?”
The family of four seemed to be right.
Nelissa coughed lightly and felt that she had made a mistake. She didn’t think too much at that time. Nathan ago, Noelle didn’t seem to want to meet her father, so she naturally said it. After that, she felt much more comfortable.
Nelissa held the little hand of Noelle for Nathan and said, “Call me Dad.”
“Dad, dad, dad…” Countless people called him dad. Nathan later, Noelle was about to go crazy with joy. She pounced on Edward and jumped on him. The whole baby was only tall enough for him to have long legs.
But these two little guys were his children. They kept his blood and inherited his and Nelissa’s genes. They were both his and Nelissa’s fruits.
Edward’s mood became wonderful again. He easily picked up Noelle for Nathan and looked at her carefully. He had imagined countless times what kind of child he and Nelissa gave birth to. It turned out to be like this.
She was so smart and beautiful that adults liked her.
Edward began to recall whether he had gone too far with Noelle for Nathan, as a father for the first time, or a father who had been separated from his child for five years. He was not qualified in many aspects, and there were many things that needed hesitation.
Noelle was quite satisfied with her father’s performance in the past Nathan. They kissed his face and took the initiative to get close to him. They were a little scared. As a matter of fact, when a child was a child, he always respected his father, and his father’s majesty was stronger than his mother’s.
“Dad, do you like me and my brother?” Noelle asked in a low voice for her brother.
Edward nodded. Nelissa had given him two great surprises, which were more surprising than joy. He had originally planned to marry Nelissa this year and try his best to get her pregnant. At the fastest, it would take him at least three or six years to have the first child. Now he had Nathan in a row, and he was still a four-year-old child.
He was very happy.
“What do you like? I’ll buy it for you.” Edward handed the car key to Nelissa and started communicating with her daughter…
