Chapter 198
Nelissa took Edward’s car back to the company. Jolene called her and told her to go first. He didn’t wait for her and his tone was strange.
Along the way, Edward picked up several calls. The speed of the car was relatively slow, and the red light turned in front of him. He simply slowed down and stopped. His left arm was placed outside the window, talking on the phone. His tone was cold and rigorous, and his eyes were clear. He was talking about business.
Nelissa knew that he was busy. She had never been in deep contact with him before, so she always thought of the evaluation from the outside world as the most important thing for him. She thought that he was a playboy who could dominate the field of love. Usually, he was just a rich playboy who only enjoyed eating and playing. The family group didn’t bother him at all. Every month, he could earn tens of millions of dollars at will. He didn’t have to work hard in his life that led directly to the car.
That was not true.
Edward was very attentive and serious when it came to work. He was not a idle rich young master. He was almost busy. Although he was already in a very high position and had the advantage of his family, his efforts were not less than that of ordinary men.
In short, the more he understood this man, the more he was attracted by his strong personality. The more decisive he was, the more he could solve the problem as soon as possible. He might have countless shortcomings, but he also had many advantages that others did not have.
He was a good man.
On the other side, Andrew said, “Sophie’s mother came to see you. She seems to have something to do.”
Edward said, “I have an appointment in the morning. If she doesn’t go back to the company, you can deal with her as you like, but don’t let her find my grandfather.”
Andrew understood. “Okay, Young Mr. Hales.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Hanging up the phone, Edward started the luxury car and stared at the front with his black eyes more and more profound. Chen Li was afraid that she couldn’t be Bory’s wife anymore.
Noticing that Nelissa was looking at him, he distracted and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Nelissa felt sorry for him and said, “If you’re busy, you don’t have to come to me every day. It’s a different way. It’s tiring for you to run from side to side like this. It’s not like you’re made of iron.”
Edward took the opportunity to make a suggestion. “Then you can take Noelle here for Nathan. When the new home is decorated, can we move there together?”
Nelissa shook her head seriously. “No, your family is far away from my company. It’s too troublesome to go to work.”
Edward turned the steering wheel and said, “I’ll drive you to work.”
Nelissa sighed softly and said, “The result is the same. I don’t want you to be so tired. It’s convenient for me to take a free ride here.” She suddenly smiled and turned to look at him. “Anyway, the decoration of our house will be done soon. Can’t you bear it for a few days?”
Edward nodded and said in a serious tone, “My wedding is not as beneficial as when I was not married. I can’t hold a wife at night. I want to see Noelle get up early in Nathan and drive for half an hour.”
Nelissa thought about it and found that it was indeed a little inappropriate. She asked in a low voice, “Do you regret it?”
Edward stretched out a hand and flicked Nelissa’s forehead. His voice was extremely low and doting. “Are you afraid that I’ll regret it? Have you ever thought that I might be more afraid than you? It took me a lot of effort to marry you home.”
Nelissa’s face was slightly red. She was already a married woman. When she heard her husband’s love words, she couldn’t help but blush and feel embarrassed.
Edward drove the car and said, “As long as I’m free, I’ll come over. You don’t have to worry about me being tired. Men are more energetic than you think. If I’m tired, I won’t force myself. I know what I should do.”
Edward’s current life was to carry his wife and make love with the dragon and phoenix fetus. He was most afraid of being separated from Nelissa.
Nelissa responded with a “hmm” and said softly, “I see. It’s good that you’re not tired. I’m just worried that you’ll be as busy as a pile machine.”
After saying that, Nelissa suddenly shut her mouth. Edward stopped the car at a intersection in front of them. Nelissa’s company had arrived. She could get off the car and walk for two minutes.
Nelissa unfastened her seat belt. Before she could get out of the car, she was pulled back by Edward. He pressed down hard on her chest and kissed her a few times. His thin lips were pressed against hers, and his breath touched her. He teased her, “You still have a pile machine? You’ve been out for days.”
Nelissa’s face was as red as a tidal wave. She gently pushed Edward with her white fingertips, and then he grabbed her chin and kissed her. This time, the kiss was fierce. Nelissa breathed lightly, and her black hair was messy. Looking into Edward’s deep eyes, she was obsessed with every inch of her skin, which was beautiful.
He couldn’t help but rub her white skin until he left his traces.
The tender meat in the man’s big hand felt very good.
Nelissa pressed down on Madcap’s big hand and couldn’t push away the tall Edward. She could only glare at him. “Stay away from me. I’m not fine yet.”
“When will it be better?” Edward asked in a hoarse voice as he lifted her chin, his handsome face looking a little evil.
Nelissa slapped his thin hand away with a red face and said, “I’ll tell you when I’m done.” In fact, she would leave in about two days.
Edward frowned. There was a faint emotion on the handsome man’s face. Nelissa took the initiative to kiss him on the corner of his mouth. Only then did his face improve and stop rubbing her.
That was to say, if a man was hungry, he could become a bird without alcohol.
Nelissa took out a small comb from her bag and combed her messy hair. It was a little too long for her to reach the end. She reached out to pull her hair aside and slowly tidied it.
Edward’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared at the white jade-like neck.
Nelissa asked, “When will you take Noelle for Nathan to test the DNA?”
Edward suppressed his anger and said hesitantly, “In a while, I want to cultivate a good relationship with them and take them to the hospital for examination. They are very smart and will definitely understand what I mean. They will be deducted from my heart. I can’t let them off the hook for half a cent now.”
Strictly speaking, Edward was not a qualified father. He had not participated in the growth process of Noelle for Nathan. In the past four years, Nelissa had raised a dragon and phoenix fetus alone. The people who taught them the three values and manners were all mothers. Her father’s image had not reached the same level.
Nelissa nodded in understanding, then smiled and asked, “You didn’t know before, did you dislike Noelle for Nathan?”
Edward’s handsome face showed an unclear expression. He was embarrassed. He said in a low voice, “Nelissa, I don’t like children, but I like children that you gave birth to.”
Nelissa was stunned. She rubbed her hair with her fingers and grabbed the end of it.
Edward turned to look at her, as if he wanted to see her into his heart. He asked deeply, “Do you understand?”
Nelissa’s heart throbbed. “Yes.”
If it was another woman who gave birth to a child for him today, Edward would not recognize her. At most, he would give her a sum of money to send her away. He did not care about the matter of blood being thicker than the blood of children. He had no sympathy and was not a good person. As for the children, they were all innocent and had nothing to do with him. He only wanted the woman he loved to give birth to him. Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, he never touched the woman who offered herself to him.
He hated being stolen and threatened with children in the future.
But Nelissa was different. Edward knew very well that it was he who took advantage of the situation and took advantage of Nelissa.
“My grandfather wants to ask you out for a time,” Edward suddenly said as she watched Nelissa comb her hair.
“Huh?” Nelissa was shocked and her mind went blank for a few seconds.
Edward raised his eyebrows. “What are you afraid of? We’ve seen each other twice in the hospital.”
Nelissa couldn’t help feeling nervous. “The last time… was different from now.” Last time, she had nothing to do with Edward. She kept herself out of the affair. Now she was Edward’s wife, his grandfather’s granddaughter-in-law. How could she be the same?
Edward touched Nelissa’s head and comforted her with his thin lips. “You’re bolder. I won’t force you to do something you can’t do. You and my grandfather will meet sooner or later, and we’ll meet again often in the future. He’s not an unreasonable person. As long as I’m here, no one will dare to embarrass you.”
Nelissa took a deep breath and pulled his big hand down. He held her hand and wrapped it around it. It was warm and dry, and her slender fingers were very powerful, which made her a little confident. “When will you see me?”
Edward made the decision for her. “You decide the time.”
Nelissa thought for a moment and said, “Then I have to prepare.”
Edward nodded. At about the same time, Nelissa said, “Goodbye.” Then she got out of the car with her bag and went to work. Edward watched her leave and then started the luxury car. She turned the steering wheel and drove to a famous restaurant by the river.
It was the time to drink breakfast, so there were a lot of guests.
Edward parked his car and went to a private room on the second floor. A man was already waiting for him inside.
“Uncle Bo.” Edward sat down and glanced at him and Ryan in the private room. He asked calmly, “Won’t you come?”
“You two won’t like each other if he comes,” Ryan said after taking a sip of tea. He knew that his son had a personal grudge against his little daughter Anna. Now, their relationship was in a deadlock.
Edward could not say yes or no. Now that he had proposed to protect Nelissa, Sean must be angry.
When the tea was served, the waiter took a tray and put a tray on the table early. Edward had already had breakfast and had no appetite now. His cell phone beside his hand rang, but he did not answer it.
He said straightforwardly, “Sophie’s mother is looking for me.”
Ryan only said, “Don’t worry about her.” As if he had expected it, he added, “When will you marry Sophie?”
Edward’s brows twitched slightly as he asked in surprise, “Didn’t she tell you yet? I can’t marry her.”
Ryan’s face suddenly darkened. “Why?” He looked at Edward and thought, “Are you still thinking about Anna? Edward, you almost got married to Anna that year, and our two families almost got married. Anna is missing. It’s not your fault. Someone planned to take her away. But after so many years, I still haven’t found this person. I’m useless. But since you’re willing to accept Sophie, you’re going back on your word now. Do you think this is something that you can’t do with your words?”
“It’s not up to you to decide on this marriage. It’s not up to you to decide.”
Ryan knew that Edward could do it. He had always wanted this son-in-law, so it was impossible for him to miss him easily.
