Chapter 193
Nelissa and Edward got married. They were most pleased with the dragon and phoenix fetus. Their eyes lit up. They quickly put on their slippers and said, “Let’s call Dad and congratulate him!” They were really clever.
Nelissa smiled as she watched them rush back to their small room and sit next to Jolene on the sofa in the living room. The two of them were tired of working for the whole day, so they opened a can of beer and turned on the TV. Either the mother-in-law or the daughter-in-law series or the emotional tragedy show. Jolene broke down and looked at Nelissa, saying, “Are you going to marry Edward in such a mysterious way? You didn’t even have a drop of water before, so how about the wedding? When will the wedding be held?”
Nelissa drank her beer and didn’t say anything. Jolene grabbed her left hand and looked at it. “It’s a good thing that the wedding rings are pretty pretty and the diamonds are big, but what does his parents mean by that? Why aren’t you going to hold a wedding after you get married? Nelissa, you can’t keep a low profile. The man you’re going to marry is from a rich and powerful family. He doesn’t even have a proper marriage gift. If he secretly divorces you in the future, you won’t even have a place to cry.”
“Besides, you took Noelle with you for Nathan to return to the Hales family. With Edward’s financial resources, this ring is not big enough. Look at the marriage of other female stars. The diamond on the ring is like goose eggs, and there are luxury car betrothal gifts. It’s as grand as it is. How can you give yourself to Edward so casually? I think you’re really stupid to be blinded by love.”
Jolene was a realityist, a typical rational personality after being injured. It wasn’t that he didn’t want love, but love and marriage were very difficult and almost impossible to coexist with.
Nelissa looked at Jolene with a smile and said, “Actually, it’s not a rush. Even if he said he could get married at that moment, I thought he could get married, so I went to get the marriage certificate the next day. We didn’t act on impulse or force ourselves to do so. Everyone’s reason is still there, so we all thought about what should be considered. It’s just that his family’s situation… Hmm, it’s a little special, so it’s not suitable for us to reveal ourselves immediately. That’s why I chose to get married temporarily with Edward. His parents didn’t know that we got the marriage certificate, so they couldn’t do anything even if they wanted to keep a high profile.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“But I want to work with him. But I have my own thoughts. Noelle and I won’t be able to return to our ancestral roots for Nathan. They still have the same surname as me. If his parents really can’t accept me in the future, I won’t allow them to steal the children.” She said in an optimistic tone, “Anyway, we’ll know later. Edward and I have got our marriage certificate, and the law will protect me and the children. Let’s go on slowly.”
“Life is so long. It’s good to find someone you like to live with. Although the divorce is very serious now, there are many married people who are old. How can you know if you don’t try?”
Jolene shook his head, sighed, and said, “You’re just like me right now. You’re filled with great enthusiasm for marriage and love. You’re still young, and you’re passionate. You’re not like me, you’re already a dead fish with eyes full of vicissitudes of life. I won’t strike you down, but you have to think about what you’ll do if it doesn’t work.”
Nelissa thought about it seriously and said, “I don’t know how I can’t do it. Is it because Edward couldn’t bear to divorce me, or I forced him to sign the divorce? Maybe he and I have no feelings for each other after this. But on the contrary, as long as either side still has feelings for each other, this marriage can continue.”
Jolene opened his mouth and said, “It’ll be very tiring if you continue to force yourself on.” Seeing Nelissa’s round eyes, Jolene knew that he had said something wrong and tried to make up for it. “It’s fine. Have you forgotten that your husband is a rich man? Even if you want to divorce him, you have to cut off half of his fortune. Even though you won’t be able to become a cute heartbroken girl, you can still be a rich woman. Anyway, you already have a child. You might as well keep a handsome little fresh meat in the future. Life will be interesting.”
Nelissa blushed a little and said in annoyance, “I’m getting married today. Are you going to tell me these things? Do you dare to say something nice?”
Jolene curled up on the sofa, holding a can of beer in his hand. He bitterly said, “You’re 23 years old, and you have two children. Now that you have a husband, you can hold on to love and marriage. Although it’s a little risky, it can still be considered as the winner of your life. I’m jealous of you, okay?”
Nelissa chuckled and raised her eyes slightly, looking a little proud. “Well, you must be jealous of me, so that I can marry a good man.”
Jolene snorted and asked curiously, “Tell me honestly, how did you do this with Edward’er? Nathan ago, she was his illegitimate child. Did you guys fall in love with each other five years ago? Did you have an old lover? Did he run away after he got up?”
Nelissa glanced at her and said something, as if she and Edward were so indecent, although it was not the first time for them to be so pure and beautiful.
Nelissa coughed lightly and said, “I was young and ignorant. I was drunk and accidentally slept with him. Then I sneaked away…”
After listening, Jolene sighed with emotion and said, “What a nice girl. Others would either get drunk on the streets or be chased to the back alley to steal money. Do you think it’s so easy to fall in love with someone? It’s just a random stranger, and others wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. They wouldn’t even know if they were ill. You, on the other hand, slept with the heir of a rich and powerful family, and even slept with him as your own husband and child’s own father. I think you’re in no way lacking in time. It’s simply too good. No way. I’ll take your time to visit Huang Daxian one day, and maybe it’ll bring honor to my marriage.”
Nelissa was speechless.
Jolene sat up cross-legged and snickered, “Tell me the details of that night. I’m quite curious about how you managed to seduce him.”
Nelissa’s cheeks were burning hot. She looked elsewhere and quickly turned back. “There are no details. I’m so drunk that I’m unconscious.”
Jolene immediately asked, “What about Edward?”
Nelissa was stunned. She didn’t know what was going on. “… You must be drunk too.”
When Jolene heard this, he felt that something wasn’t quite right. How could two drunkards open a room? Who was carrying who? One of them had to remain sober in order to complete the things between men and women. “Edward isn’t drunk, right? If a man is really drunk, then he’ll only fall asleep on the bed. Those guys who’re helping others turn into beasts are all lying to ignorant girls. Men who’re drunk basically lose their functions.”
“Only the slightest bit of alcohol can stimulate a man’s instinct, but at the same time, this man will keep his mind clear. He knows what he is doing, but the alcohol has triggered his desire and made him fall into depravity. I think Edward has taken a fancy to you for a long time. He must have been staring at you that night. When you get drunk, he will kidnap you and have sex with you. You were eaten by him and gave him Nathan of pregnancy. You thought it was just an accident with him. You said you are stupid.”
Nelissa retorted in a low voice, “I’m drunk. Even if I’m stupid, I’ll be eaten clean by him.”
Jolene let out a sigh. How could Nelissa’s business be compared to Edward’s? Sooner or later, she would be eaten to death. She saw that Edward was the true expert. His thoughts were so deep that they were becoming more and more intriguing. With Nelissa’s lack of brains, this man might have already made plans for her.
“Silly people have good fortune.” Patting Nelissa’s shoulder, Jolene could only say this.
Nelissa was embarrassed and annoyed. Unable to accept it, she said, “I’m not stupid. Look at how smart Noelle was in the past Nathan. She inherited everything from me. I don’t care what happened back then. Anyway, Edward was sincere to me. He and I got our marriage certificate. What’s there for me to be afraid of?”
Jolene nodded and begged for mercy, “Fine, fine, fine. You’re right.”
Nelissa didn’t say a word. She held the empty can of beer with her white fingers and pressed it gently, causing it to rise and fall. “Clang!” It was like five years ago when she was drunk, the sound she heard was broken and messy. No one knew whether it was a quarrel or a fight. It was hard to tell whether it was someone else’s table or hers.
She was so drunk that she didn’t move.
Nelissa had no idea what had happened in the bar that night.
Edward was drunk in having sex with her or doing it with her. In fact, it could be understood that when a man slept with a woman, he must have a good impression of her. Even if he only liked a woman’s young appearance, it was also a kind of good impression of a woman.
Just like her, even if she didn’t know who the man who slept with her was, she had a good impression of him. His body smelled good, his body was good, and his voice was good. She had a good experience of surnamed him, but she couldn’t hate him.
It was true that he was a man of sex.
After spending Nathan with Edward on the phone, the corners of her mouth curled up. She was in a good mood. She said she was hungry and wanted to eat.
Nelissa looked at the clock. It was already past 7 p. m. and it was already dark outside. Unconsciously, she had chatted with Jolene for such a long time. She prepared to cook and ask him, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook for you. Look at how pitiful you’ve been thinking about getting married the entire day.”
Jolene waved his hand and said, “What are you still doing? You gave me your first wedding night. I’ll take you guys to the restaurant. Every minute of the spring night is worth a thousand gold coins.”
Nelissa smiled. “Yes, Edward said he would come tonight. I didn’t even let him come. I just wanted to accompany you. I’m loyal enough to you.”
Jolene gave her a thumbs-up.
The four of them changed their clothes and went to the restaurant. Jolene treated them to hot pot, which they and Noelle loved the most in the past Nathan. During this season, they would eat hot pot, and their faces would turn red and they would be very happy. They could even get rid of their troubles when eating beef. Listening to the lively sounds in the restaurant, they were very excited.
They went back home after eating and drinking. They saw Edward’s assistant Andrew at the door. Before Nelissa could speak, he said, “Miss Nelissa, Young Mr. Hales asked me to send you something.”
Nelissa nodded and asked what it was.
Andrew shook his head and said that he didn’t know. Young Mr. Hales only ordered to take the things to her, but didn’t explain what was inside. He was the assistant of the president in this business. He had to get in touch with private affairs and avoid arousing suspicion. It depended on whether he was smart or not.
His intuition told him that even if he knew about Young Mr. Hales’s relationship with Nelissa, he had to keep his mouth shut and pretend not to know anything.
The things Edward ordered his assistant, Andrew, to bring over were written in a document. Nelissa took it and didn’t rush to open it. She asked Andrew, “Come in and have a glass of water. Have you been waiting here for a long time?”
