Chapter 208
The secretary guessed Susan’s thoughts and answered carefully after thinking for a while, “Of course. A rich girl like her has her own sister group. Even if she didn’t read the news or the newspaper, her sister group would still tell her about it. I guess she is crazy now. After all, his fiance has another woman.”
“That’s right.” Susan was very satisfied. She wanted to make Sophie go crazy. She hated and wanted this effect.
She drew out a pen and wrote down one person’s name on a piece of white paper: Nelissa. Then she folded the paper and put it into an envelope. After sealing it, she gave it to the secretary and said, “It’s not good to let her know it’s too early. It’s not good to be too late. At noon tomorrow, you ask someone to send this letter to Sophie. Remember, don’t let her find out that I gave it to her. Be smart.”
“Yes.”
Susan took her bag and left the studio. She got on the BMW and drove home. As soon as she entered the door, the servant told her that Mr. Lowe had returned from a business trip and went upstairs.
Susan naturally knew that Zayden went on a business trip outside the city a few days ago. She didn’t know what the detailed schedule was, but she was still clear about the general return date. Zayden came back by plane at 10 o’clock in the morning, so she came back and wanted to meet him.
She took off her high heels and ordered before going upstairs, “Go to the kitchen to cook a cup of hot milk.”
“Yes.”
After entering her room, Susan changed into a thin white dress, took off her makeup, washed her face, and sprayed some nutrition water to moisten her skin. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. Her temperament was better than Nelissa’s, and her facial features were also more beautiful than Nelissa’s. Now she was more like a pure and pure daughter than Nelissa.
She smiled with satisfaction, turned around, and went out of the room.
The kitchen had already cooked a cup of hot milk and placed it on the tray. Susan also put today’s newspaper on the tray and took it upstairs together. She tapped the door of Zayden’s room with her fingers, then turned the handle, opened the door, and went in.
In the room, Zayden was sitting alone on a casual chair. He was wearing a T-shirt with a short T-shirt and a pair of trousers, one hand holding the bell up and down, the other holding an obscure English book.
Although he had just returned from a business trip, Zayden seemed to be full of energy today. He had endless cruelty. He didn’t want to rest and couldn’t calm down. He could only hold the bell to vent his strength until he was exhausted.
Susan walked in, closed the door and said, “I cooked a cup of hot milk for you, which is mainly for sleeping.”
Zayden shook his head, his eyes fixed on the book and did not look at Susan. Seeing Susan’s feet coming up to him, he raised his eyes. Susan took the English book from his hand, sat on his thigh, put one hand around his neck, and faced him face to face. He also saw that she was holding a newspaper in her right hand.
“Bang!” With a heavy sound, Zayden put down the dumb bell he was carrying.
Susan said softly, “Zayden, have you read today’s newspaper?”
Zayden didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to say anything, so he fell silent.
Susan pressed her chest closer and gently touched Zayden’s chest. Her plump lips blew hot air into his ear and said, “I guess, you’ve seen it. You’re in a bad mood now, right?”
Zayden lowered his head and looked at her. His eyes were not stained with the slightest bit of love or emotion. This was the best emotion.
Susan continued to say fearlessly, “Nelissa really became Edward’s lover. Maybe she used to be another man’s lover. Otherwise, would she give birth to a child? She has become so impure. I don’t think she is worthy of you. She is not the same Nelissa. You only remember how good she used to be. But how bad she is now? Are you going to deceive yourself?”
Suddenly, Zayden grabbed Susan’s slender waist and pulled her away from him. He watched her fall on the ground and fall beside his feet coldly. He bent down slightly, and his big, blue hand with protruding veins grabbed her face hard and said, “If it weren’t for you, Nelissa wouldn’t have become bad. Do you know that I missed the chance to love her because of your original scheme? She only had me at that time, and she would be with me, but it was because of you…”
“I really want to kill you.” Gritting his teeth, Zayden said through gritted teeth.
Susan raised her head fearlessly and said, “I love you. What’s wrong with me fighting for myself? She misunderstood you, which proves that she doesn’t love you.”
Zayden’s eyes were bloodshot. He roared in a low voice, “Screw your bullshit love!” He stood up, strode out, and sneered, “You must have said these words to countless men.”
He swung his hand and opened the door. With a ‘bang’ sound, the door slammed shut heavily. Not long after, he heard the sound of the engine being started downstairs. Zayden drove away.
Along the way, Zayden drove aimlessly. There was no destination or direction. The street view in front of him kept moving backward. The cars passed him one after another. There seemed to be a female voice next to his ear.
[Slow down. Don’t go home so early.]
Zayden blinked his red eyes hard. In a trance, he drove the car mechanically, recalling a memory of him and Nelissa in those years.
“Why?” He asked her why she didn’t want to go home so early.
Nelissa sat in the passenger’s seat in her school uniform, her fair face flushed. “Mom is back today. I… I want to spend more time with you.”
Zayden turned the steering wheel and said with a smile, “Then I’ll go a long way. Where do you want to go?”
Nelissa shook her head shyly. “I don’t know. I don’t want to go anywhere. Just drive.” She said in a small voice, “As long as you’re here.”
Zayden leaned against Nelissa and slowed down the car’s speed. He turned a corner and turned into a tunnel. It was much quieter around him, leaving only the sound of the tires. He couldn’t help but let out a hand and hold Nelissa’s small white hand on his knee.
She was shocked and said in a dazed and cute voice, “You… drive, can you have one hand?”
“I…” Zayden suddenly became a bit incoherent. He laughed, and his eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze. He enlarged his voice and said, “I’m very happy.”
“Pfft!” Nelissa covered her small mouth with her little hand and snickered. Her eyes were curved with laughter and she looked very pure.
At that time, Zayden was staring at Nelissa, thinking that it was not bad to stay with her like this for the rest of his life. But later, he became greedy and unwilling to only be a poor boy. He wanted to be worthy of her and realize his ambition. When he saw the far-fetched smile on her face, he still looked away.
From a simple first love to a complicated betrayal, the whole process was destroying the love of Nelissa and Zayden little by little.
In the same tunnel, the girl who loved him had left.
Zayden’s heart was empty. His bloodshot eyes were shining with lonely tears. He hid his earth-shattering emotions and shed a tear without expression…
At noon break.
Edward called to invite Nelissa to have lunch with him. Nelissa agreed. She thought to herself that Edward was so bold that he had been secretly taken photos by the paparazzi. Today, he invited her to have lunch with him. Wasn’t he afraid of being taken again? But on the other hand, it was natural for the old wife to have lunch with him. What was there to be afraid of?
They were really a special couple.
At the company’s entrance, Nelissa made a taxi call and received a call from Jolene. He asked her where she had gone, but she had already disappeared at noon.
She smiled and said, “I’m going to have dinner with my husband.”
Jolene was playing high heels on the other end of the line as he said gloomily, “Get married, get married, get married, get married! I’m almost 28 years old and haven’t even gotten married yet. Why are you in such a hurry to get married at 23? I don’t even have anyone to accompany me for lunch. It’s so awkward to go to the restaurant alone.”
Nelissa stifled her laughter and didn’t dare to laugh out loud. She suggested, “How about I pack it up for you?”
Jolene immediately replied angrily, “F*ck off. When you and Edward are done loving each other, the flowers will turn cold.”
Nelissa asked Jolene seriously, “Where are you now? Is there anyone around you? Didn’t you hear what you said?”
Jolene looked around before sticking out his tongue and saying, “No. There’s no one around me. I’m fine.”
Nelissa breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I was scared to death by you.”
Jolene cursed her in a low voice before saying, “Alright, go ahead and eat your meal. Don’t show off your love in front of me. I’m so angry right now that I can’t stand it.”
Nelissa nodded repeatedly and ended the call.
When they arrived at the destination, Nelissa paid the bill and got out of the car. Edward had an appointment with a western restaurant.
As soon as she entered, two seemingly manager-level people appeared in front of her. Behind her stood a female receptionist who bowed respectfully and nodded. She thought that she had entered the wrong restaurant and was thinking about calling Edward. One of the manager-level people asked, “Excuse me, is it Miss Nelissa?”
Nelissa nodded. “Yes.”
The man bowed and said respectfully, “Please come with me. Mr. Hales is waiting for you upstairs.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
So Nelissa had to follow him into an elevator. The manager introduced a pile of the best places in the restaurant: One-on-one service. First-class, well-hidden, and produced.
Hearing that, Nelissa felt familiar.
She noticed that there was a poster in the elevator, and then she remembered that this western restaurant was ranked among the top ten H-rays in a local food magazine. It was very popular on the Internet. However, this was a private canteen that belonged only to rich people. Ordinary white-collar workers could never afford it.
When he arrived at Edward’s place, he booked a whole venue and ordered one of the most luxurious rooms. There was a watch, a TV, a sofa, a long dining table, and a black piano. The floor was covered with a carpet covered with peony flowers. The curtains hanging down were well hidden and the style was gorgeous and beautiful.
Coincidentally, he was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the documents. When he saw her coming, he raised his head and said with handsome features, “Come here.”
Nelissa was discouraged. She walked over and the other employees of the restaurant left.
She sat down on the sofa, looked at Edward, and pointed to his documents. “Is that what you’re doing?” There was no romance in her at all.
Edward put down the document with a charming smile on his thin lips. “I came first than you. When I was waiting for you, I found something to do.” He reached out to touch Nelissa’s head and said, “I wanted to go down to pick you up myself, but I was worried that someone would take photos of me. I don’t want you to be taken in again.”
