Chapter 185
After carefully recalling the question she had asked Edward earlier, Nelissa realized that her thoughts had been induced by him from beginning to end. She wanted to ask him if he still had feelings for Anna and if he really wanted to find him back. However, it was always hard to ask such a question. She was not a petty person, but she had Edward in her heart and inevitably cared about him.
She had planned to explain to Edward for a long time tonight. She knew that Edward believed in her, but as Sean said, her explanation was not perfect and had many loopholes, which were difficult to convince others to believe. But she couldn’t give Zayden to others. Zayden was not so bad that he couldn’t be saved.
Sigh.
Nelissa gently pressed her forehead with her fingertips, turned off the TV, and went out to the balcony to blow the wind. Many things had happened today, and Nelissa was still a little confused and her mind was scattered. After a while, the scenery in front of her became grey, and she looked like she was looking at flowers in the fog. This city that she was born in gave her too many experiences, hardships, sweetness. She did not dare to think about the past, nor did she have time to think about it.
After she went to Southville City, she was covered with money. She worked day and night and wished she could earn 48 hours a day. The burden of life was very tiring. When she got home from work, she took a shower and went to sleep. She had no time to recall the past. Sometimes, when she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, she would cover herself with a quilt and cry secretly. When she cried, she would fall asleep. The next day, she would go out to work at 7 o’clock.
He was so busy that he couldn’t stop like a spiral. As soon as he stopped, the five numbers on the bank card would turn into four.
Although her life was bitter, it was full of optimism. In fact, it was very effective for her. Otherwise, she would definitely have a psychological illness.
It took her and Noelle Nathan to live a better life.
Nelissa withdrew her gaze and leaned against the fence on the balcony. The cool breeze at night blew her long hair, which was very comfortable. There was a little pain in her neck. She touched it with her fingertips and frowned. She wanted to take a shower first. She did not know when Edward would come back.
In the bathroom.
Nelissa looked at the mirror in front of her. Her face was very pale, her eyes were red, and her lips were also very red. She rubbed her cheeks with both hands, and there was an unnatural flush. No wonder Edward did not ask about her Anna. In her current state, he was worried that she would faint because of her poor health.
To be honest, Nelissa also thought that her body couldn’t hold on. So many things had happened, and her nerves had been tense. She didn’t expect that she would be able to hold on, and now she felt a little hungry. It seemed that in the past five years, she had grown up outside and was not as spoiled as before.
Nelissa thought it was a good thing. A mother who had a child had to be independent. She couldn’t be too weak.
She took off her clothes one by one in front of the mirror in the bathroom. There was a bruise on her white elbow, which must have been caused by the conflict with Sean today. She touched it with her hand and found it quite painful.
Nelissa frowned and opened the shower. Not long after, she heard that someone was opening the door with a key. Edward was back so soon? There seemed to be no jewelry shop near her house. Even if he drove to buy it, it wouldn’t be so fast. Besides, what time was it now? Why didn’t he close the door?
Nelissa’s mind was in a mess. She was thinking about what to cook and whether Edward would like to propose to her. It was a mess.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and the air outside rushed in. It was a little cold.
Nelissa didn’t have the habit of locking the door. She watched Edward leaning against the door leisurely, neither stepping in nor backward. She looked at her recklessly. She didn’t touch her with her hands, but her skin was hot and numb.
Her chest was heavy.
“Let’s wash together?” Edward’s voice was hoarse and his Adam’s apple moved.
Nelissa’s fair face turned red. She wanted to cover her body with a towel, but she was too close to Edward’s teasing eyes to move. The white foam in front of her became thinner and thinner. She reached out to block it, feeling that the man’s eyes were hotter.
“Or should I watch you wash?” Edward was surprisingly calm and patient. His voice was so hoarse that it was beyond words, but he did not rush in. He just stared at Nelissa, with ice and fire in the depths of his eyes.
Nelissa bit her lip hard. She had taken a shower with Edward before, but she had never invited him. She whispered, only to find that her voice was a little hoarse. “Come in.”
Edward raised his eyebrows and came in. He closed the door and locked it. The handsome man’s smile was in line with his temperament. He was frivolous, but his eyes were staring at Nelissa with deep affection. He was so sexy.
He took off his clothes, but the button of his trousers was made by his small hand holding Nelissa. He felt that even her heart was completely occupied by him and was beating wildly.
Edward’s strong body was dry and hot, covering her warm and wet body, touching the bubbles in front of her, soft and intimate.
He gently held her neck with his big hand and lowered his head to kiss her…
Staring at Nelissa’s lips, Edward said in a low and hoarse voice, “Why are your lips so red? I thought you had a fever in the car.”
Nelissa was in a daze after being kissed by him. She felt that he was teasing her again, so she bit the corner of his mouth.
The warm water sprinkled on their bodies, and they took a close shower. After that, they got dressed and went out. They felt so warm that they almost collapsed. Their legs were weak, and their little faces were flushed. Their little hands were wrapped in Edward’s big hands, but they were tightly held by him.
On the tea table in the living room, there were rows of big red roses. In the middle was a ring box, which was very eye-catching in a small pattern.
Nelissa was in a daze.
Edward took her hand and sat down on the sofa with her in his arms. His long and slender legs were slightly open.
Sitting on his lap, Nelissa was held in his arms by his arm. He said, “I drove nearby and searched for a long time with navigation before I found the flower shop that had not been closed yet. Now that the flower has a ring, I’ll listen to your instructions.” He took out the ring box in the middle of the bouquet, opened it and showed it to Nelissa. He said, “I haven’t bought the ring with your consent. You may not like it. Just bear with it. I’ll give you a ring you like at the wedding.”
It was the first time for Nelissa to be proposed by a man, but she still proposed so straightforwardly.
She took the ring and looked at it carefully. The male ring and the female ring were smaller. There were also 12 diamonds on the outside of the platinum ring. It was a very luxury.
She put down the ring and curiously asked, “Where did you buy it so late at night?”
Edward told her, “I bought it before and kept it in the car. Don’t you want to have a proposal ring? I just got it for you.”
Nelissa paused for a moment, then picked him up with her eyes and said, “Why do you buy the proposal ring and put it in the car? Are you waiting to take it out to propose to a woman at any time?”
“Yes,” Edward replied straightforwardly. Nelissa bit her red lips and glared at him. Suddenly, he reached out and patted her butt. She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to get up, but was pressed by his arm on her waist. He said lightly, “I was angry at you before. It was the first time I was dumped by a woman. In the past, it was others who took the initiative to show their kindness to me. But you broke up with me and threw me away. I still wanted to buy you a ring to propose and coax you to make peace. You are much more ruthless than me.”
Nelissa looked up at his handsome side profile, put her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear to apologize, “I was wrong.”
Edward pinched her slender waist. Her gentle act of coquetry was very useful to him, especially when she snuggled up to him obediently. He lowered his eyes and lifted her little face with his slender fingers. His fingertips dug down her red lips and chin, gently brushing her delicate skin and touching her delicate collarbone. Then, he pointed at her left hand and put the ring on her ring finger.
Nelissa’s body was trembling, and she was lost in Edward’s ecstasy. When she came back to her senses, the ring was already on her hand, and the size of her ring was just right. She blinked and said, “I… I haven’t promised to marry you…”
“You’ve raised your child to such an age. It’s only a matter of time before you agree.” Edward lowered her head and stared at Nelissa, teasing her. “You’ve been wanting to marry me for a long time, haven’t you?”
Nelissa punched him in the chest with her little fists and started to talk nonsense.
Edward smiled and let her do whatever she wanted. He held her in his arms and put on the same kind of male ring as hers.
Nelissa watched in a daze. Edward’s hand was quite white, but not as white as hers. His big hand held her small hand with a skin color, and his ring finger was also wearing a ring.
Her heart was beating fast and painful, as if it was burning.
She thought it over and said, “You have to think about it carefully. My situation can’t be changed. You already know about Sean and Anna. Maybe one day, it will be exposed and something else will happen. Even if you know that Noelle is your child for Nathan, your family may not necessarily agree to our marriage. I don’t want marriage, but I can’t. If your father wants to take back the child, you must help me and don’t fight with me.”
Edward tapped Nelissa’s forehead. “We’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning.”
Nelissa was startled and pointed at him. “You, you, you, you…”NôvelDrama.Org content.
Edward grabbed Nelissa’s slender finger and rubbed her little hand in his palm. “What, if they don’t agree, then you want my child to be an illegitimate child? Get our marriage certificate first and turn our relationship into a legitimate one. It won’t be too late to tell them later. But I guess I’ll have to wait a while before I can give you the official wedding. But after getting the marriage certificate, we’ll be husband and wife, and we’ll have the same effect. It doesn’t matter whether they agree or not, but it’s impossible to force us to divorce.”
“Nelissa, as long as you follow me, I won’t let you be afraid. You don’t have a sense of security for me. I can give you a marriage. If you don’t want Noelle to be an illegitimate child for Nathan, we will get married immediately. You don’t have to listen to others’ words. Just trust me.”
“You, you are so bold…” Nelissa had never seen such a crazy man.
