Chapter 183
When Noelle was three years old, she studied in a kindergarten in Southville City. At that time, they were actually envious of other children having a father and fantasized about their own father. Later, their mother told them the story of Journey to the West, saying that they were the most special children, so they only had a mother and no father. They did not have to feel inferior.
Noelle didn’t understand anything in the past Nathan, but they had never seen their father since they were young. They also knew that they really only had a mother and no father. They often saw other children come to pick them up after school, and they could even ride on their father’s head to make trouble. They smiled on their faces, but in fact, they were a little looking forward to it.
Her mother’s strength was limited, so it was impossible for her to hold them like this. Moreover, they grew taller and taller, so sometimes it was difficult for her to hold one of them.
But now they had a father, which was different.
Edward doted on his daughter. Before he knew that Noelle was his daughter, he had already doted on her. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like Nelissa, the more she loved him. Even after Nathan, he was more pleased with his son. He let go of his daughter for Nathan and hugged her alone. His handsome face was covered with joy that was hard to hide. It was also the first time he became a father. He had never been with a child before, and he was still trying to figure out how to get along with a child.
However, compared to the heirs, his daughter was Edward’s most precious treasure.
He would not be jealous for Nathan. He also doted on his sister. His mother wanted him to be a gentleman of a considerate girl. He was not allowed to act like a hooligan.
Noelle occupied her father’s arms and was overjoyed. Edward was still asking her about her hobby. “What do you like at ordinary times? A doll or a skirt? Nelissa used to play the piano very well. You can also learn it. I will buy you a piano and find a teacher to teach you.”
Noelle nodded excitedly. “Okay, okay, I want to learn.”
When she was in Southville City, she had seen her mother playing the piano for a guest in a Western restaurant. She had always wanted to learn it, but she couldn’t afford it and had nowhere to put it. Later, her mother said that she would buy her an electronic piano, which would be much cheaper. However, she had to go to the training class, and her mother had to work and work part-time. When she got home, she had no time to teach her. The first training class cost more than 1, 000 yuan, which was very expensive. She said that she didn’t want to learn it.
Now that her father was going to give her a present, she could learn it again!
Edward had been chatting with his daughter Noelle, asking her what she liked, what color she liked, what she wanted to learn from the piano, and so on. Without asking a question, Noelle answered obediently. Edward knew his daughter better. He was a businessman who had been involved in society for a long time, so he knew how to understand the people he wanted to know in the shortest time and cultivate a good relationship.
Then, it was his turn to ask for Nathan.
Nathan later, he was a boy who had already gotten married and had his own ideas. He answered straightforwardly, “I like Legao and a car.”
Edward looked down at his son. He had always felt that his Nathan character was very interesting to him. “It’s fine if you like it, but you can only play with cars.” He nodded his head for Nathan, his eyebrows full of love. “I’ll take you to get a plane certificate in a few days. The remote control of the plane is fun. When you’re big enough, I’ll let you touch a real car.”
Nathan later, he raised his head and said, “Okay.”
Nelissa saw that the three of them seemed to have endless things to say. She took the car key Edward gave her and parked the car in the parking lot. When she got out of the car, she did not forget to lock the door. When she returned to the apartment building, Edward was still holding her daughter and talking to her for Nathan. All three of them were waiting for her.
Nelissa had thought that Edward and Noelle had been on good terms for Nathan. Now that they had reconciled, there was no need to worry about their estrangement.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at Edward and then looked at her son. Nelissa walked over and said, “Give me your phone.”
Edward gave her his phone and didn’t ask anything. It wasn’t until he saw Nelissa take a picture of him that he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What are you doing?”
Nelissa mysteriously handed the phone to him. “Don’t you think you look like you in the past Nathan?”
Edward paused for a moment, and his eyes sized up the Nathan that had passed by his waist. The little guy was also looking at him. The two men, one big and one small, raised their eyebrows at the same time. In Nelissa’s eyes, this little habit was extremely similar.
In fact, Edward didn’t see anything like him in the past Nathan. He was a little blind, especially when it came to men. He didn’t pay much attention to other men’s appearances. He knew that he was very good-looking, but he didn’t think it was worth showing off. He had been brought up by his grandfather since he was a child. It didn’t matter whether a man looked good or not. What was important was his ability.
Edward put down Noelle and took out his phone to read. The photo showed his side face and his Nathan-old face. It was very similar. Obviously, only his facial features were different, tender and mature.
It was like the version of two men.
The more Edward looked at it, the darker his face became. “I didn’t see it before.”
Nelissa chuckled and nodded. “Yes, fortunately, you didn’t see it. You scared me to death at that time.”
She took Noelle into the apartment for Nathan and pressed the elevator button. Edward followed her and was still looking at her mobile phone. It seemed that she could not let go of such a big clue.
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
They went in.
Edward scrolled through the screen of his mobile phone and collected the photo. Then, he leaned against the wall of the elevator with a handsome figure and stared deeply at his wife and children. He thought to himself that he lacked a marriage certificate.
Nelissa looked at Edward’s red eyes and blushed. She tucked her daughter’s hair in and asked him softly, “Haven’t you seen the photos of your childhood?”
Edward thought for a moment and said, “I won’t look through it.” He didn’t have any nostalgia, and he wouldn’t casually look through his childhood album. He couldn’t even remember what he looked like when he was a child, but he really had to look through it next time.
When the elevator reached the 10th floor, Nelissa opened the door with her key. Jolene wasn’t at her house, so she probably thought that she was going to talk to Zayden for a long time. Ah, after thinking about it, she still had to explain to Jolene about her father, who had been her father for Nathan. Otherwise, the misunderstanding would get bigger and bigger, and she would be unable to control herself.
The weather was very hot, so Nelissa took a bath for her daughter first. Although she had a lot to say to Edward, it was more important to take care of her daughter first.
“I’ll wash it for her,” Edward said. He had already taken off his suit jacket and loosened the tie with his slender fingers. Then, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and untied the top two buttons. He looked like a casual man at home.
Those collarbones, Adam’s apple, and arms were very attractive.
Nelissa looked at him blankly, and her cheeks were a little hot.
Her daughter, Noelle, was a little reserved. “No, Jolene’s godmother said that there is a difference between men and women, even if it’s a father. I can’t get married in the future.”
Nelissa: “…” Actually, Jolene was referring to his late father.
Edward’s face was unfathomable. He had just recognized a lovely daughter, and he wanted to make her as delicate as Noelle. But when she grew up, he had to give her to another man. Edward suddenly felt very unhappy, and his eyes were gloomy.
Nelissa ignored him and quickly took her daughter to take a shower.
After Nathan of intimacy, the young master of the puppy wanted to get close to the male master. Edward bent down slightly and held up the ugly dog next to him with one hand to check its size. His nose was wet, his red tongue was blowing in the hot weather, and his tail wagged to please it. He looked ugly, but there was no sign of injury.
Edward put down the ugly dog and went to wash his hands.
He had been preparing water for his young master for Nathan, as well as food for dinner.
Edward asked, “Do you want to do it?”
Nathan later, she lowered her head to look at the young master and said happily, “Mom said that if my sister and I want to raise the young master, we have to be responsible for the young master’s eating, drinking, playing, and playing. We can’t leave anything behind.” Her mother hated it most when they said they couldn’t do it.
Edward nodded. Nelissa was very devoted in teaching her children. If he taught them for Nathan, they might not be able to do that. She was a good woman. Edward suddenly thought, “It must be hard for Nelissa to bring you here, right?”
Nathan later, he nodded and said, “I can start with my memory. Nelissa works every day and works part-time on Saturday and Sunday. She only takes half a day off on Sunday afternoon. Then she will take me and my sister out for dinner and buy gifts for us.”
Edward clenched his fists. He could not suppress the heartache he felt for Nelissa. He hated himself for not even protecting the woman he loved the most. He wanted time to go back. When Nelissa was suffering, he would appear beside her and raise her up, so as not to be bullied by others.
“Dad, will you marry Nelissa?” Nathan later, he asked nervously. He liked dad, but he couldn’t let his mother suffer.
“Yes.” Edward made a solemn promise, very seriously. “I will always be good to her, and she won’t be wronged with me.”
Nathan later, he clenched his fists and raised them. “Come on!” Then he asked curiously, “Will you propose to Nelissa?”
Edward paused and hesitated.
After taking a shower for Noelle, Nelissa saw the father and son standing and talking. The young master was full in front of his food basin, rolling around Edward’s feet. It was very warm and felt like home.
They didn’t know what the father and son were talking about, but as soon as they saw her, they stopped talking.
Edward picked him up with one hand for Nathan and walked to the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower for him. Take a rest.”
Nelissa was stunned. “Are you sure you can?”
What answered her was the sound of the bathroom door closing.
Nelissa and her daughter, Noelle, looked at each other. It was understandable that Edward liked her daughter to take a bath for Noelle, but he didn’t expect that she would take a bath for Nathan and even agreed. Where was her proud and cool son? It was said that her personality was all used on her, so it was useless for her!
“What a good relationship,” Nelissa muttered. It had been a long time since she had taken a bath. She wondered how he had developed.
Nelissa dried Noelle’s hair with a hair clip and then cleaned the house. Then she went back to the room and changed into comfortable and clean clothes. She went to the kitchen to cut a plate of fruit and also tidied up a small place to sleep for her young master. Noelle was very happy and squatted beside her young master to sleep. She was so cute.
After doing so many things, Nelissa sat down on the sofa and drank tea absent-mindedly. The sound of water in the bathroom did not stop. Edward had been taking a bath for Nathan, and it had been an hour!
She knew that she couldn’t count on Edward to take care of her child. He was a noble young master who couldn’t take care of himself. He couldn’t even take care of adults. How could he take care of a four-year-old child? It was better to play with him!
Nelissa put down the teacup, walked to the door of the bathroom, and knocked on the door uneasily.
No one answered her.
Nelissa was anxious and asked anxiously, “Edward, can you do it or not?”
