Chapter 281
Chen Li thought that her daughter, Sophie, had sneaked back to Haleston City, but after careful observation, she found that this woman’s clothes were all low-key brands. Her daughter, Sophie, had always worn luxury clothes. Since she was not Sophie, who was this person?
Chen Li followed stealthily for a short distance and saw that Nelissa had reached out her hand and pulled out a car. The mysterious woman wearing a cap didn’t follow her anymore and suddenly crossed the opposite road… Chen Li hurriedly rubbed the woman’s side face. Her skin was very white, and she deliberately lowered her hat to hide her refined and delicate features.
It was an unforgettable woman with a unique temperament.
Chen Li saw it clearly. This familiar face was obviously Anna, who had been missing for many years!
Anna didn’t die!
Someone who had been keeping a low profile suddenly appeared and was following Edward. What was going on?
The more Chen Li looked at Anna’s face, the colder her heart became. She shrank her neck, turned her stiff body, and left immediately. She walked very fast, and her eyes wandered as if she was in a panic. She did not notice that she had bumped into a passerby who was walking toward her. The cup of hot soy milk in her hand was knocked off and scattered all over the ground.
The female white-collar worker who was rushing to work said very unhappily, “Big sister, how did you walk?”
Chen Li’s face was pale, and she was already in a panic. Now she was called Big Sister by an ugly woman, which made her even more impatient. She took out her wallet, took out a 100-yuan note from a stack of money, threw it to the white-collar woman, and said scornfully, “Don’t shout, compensate you, it’s enough for you to buy dozens of cups of soy milk!”
After losing money, Chen Li quickly left. Behind her, she heard the white-collar woman call her a ” mental patient”, so she was not in the mood to care. The current Chen Li was full of Anna and Anna, who were following behind Nelissa!
After so many years, Chen Li thought that Anna had been dead for a long time. His body should have been rotten if it could not be found. Now Anna appeared in front of her in good condition! Anna was not dead, and she was going to come back, and she was following Nelissa. Did she know Nelissa? Did Edward know that Anna had returned to Haleston City? What was the relationship between the three of them and Nelissa’s illegitimate son?
Chen Li couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship Anna had with Nelissa, but there must be something fishy about it! She didn’t know what kind of attitude Edward had between them…
Chen Li had never expected that Anna would come back one day, but it was still the same time. If Ryan knew what she had done in the past, she would not be able to stay in the Bailey family and would not even get any benefits.
She couldn’t let Anna come back!
Chen Li stepped on her pearl-studded flat shoes, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and dialed a number. As soon as someone answered the phone, Chen Li said hurriedly, “Sophie, I have something important to tell you…”

After sending her off, Nelissa walked back slowly. The sunshine on the street was very good in the morning. It was not spicy. It was a very warm and comfortable day, but there was a trace of coldness in her heart. No matter how good the sunshine was, it could not offset her bad mood.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold some wide collar. On the way back, someone might have sprinkled soy milk on the ground. The white liquid flowed to the ground and solidified into traces. Even if there were environmental protection workers, it would be difficult for her to return to her original state. Just like her mood at this moment, even if she cleaned up everything in the past, there was nothing to do. The past had changed, and she had no ability to return to her original state.
Wasn’t there an old saying that a boat is made of wood, and it is hard to get rid of it? Even if you have loved it, it is just that love has passed, and it is difficult to pursue it…
Nelissa couldn’t help sighing. She bent her white fingers and tapped her forehead. Her mind was in a mess. She thought of the last sentence Han Penelope had said to her before getting in the car, the love Edward had given her, and Zayden…
Penelope asked her, “If you do it again, you and Zayden won’t be separated. There’s no misunderstanding or betrayal. Who will you choose in the end?”
To choose Zayden, or to choose Edward?
It wasn’t until Han Penelope got in the car and left that Nelissa couldn’t answer the question. If nothing bad had happened, she would have been with Zayden. However, there was no ‘if’ at all. All the assumptions and imagination were beautiful, but who would be sure if she would grow old with him in the future?
A couple who had loved each other for ten years might not be able to survive the Nathan itch of marriage. Some people could marry and love each other, but they could always be tolerant of each other.
Love was unreasonable. If love could do whatever it wanted, it was too excessive and too boring.
Nelissa really wanted to call Zayden and ask him why he said these things to Penelope. Zayden, whom she knew, was not a weak man who needed comfort. He was very alert and sensitive, which had something to do with his previous experience. He was never a man who was good at showing his feelings to others. He did not trust anyone.
He was good at hiding his thoughts.
The reason why Zayden would do this was that Nelissa had thought of a possibility. It was a possibility that she was unwilling to see and it was quite cruel. Zayden was different from her. He had found that Han Penelope liked him a long time ago, but he had never revealed it. He was using her feelings for him! Moreover, he had used her to indirectly tell her that he would continue…
Nelissa suddenly felt very disappointed. Once upon a time, Zayden’s actions and words had become so meaningful that she couldn’t tell which of his words was sincere or which one was using others. Perhaps she didn’t have the right to criticize Zayden. Just now, she didn’t dare to tell Penelope that Zayden might be using her. He already knew everything.
He was sacrificing Penelope’s sincere feelings for him.
She didn’t dare to say it, because it was the first time that she had seen Han Penelope cry so bitterly. She was a noble lady with such a strong self-esteem. She had been a princess who had been admired by others since she was a student. She had never seen Penelope look so helpless and helpless. She didn’t have a beautiful halo. She was just a lost person.
Her heart was struggling fiercely. She couldn’t stab Han Penelope in the heart again at this time.
Nelissa returned to the hospital. Ning Ranqiu asked her why she had gone out for a walk for so long. She just shook her head with a smile and did not speak. She did not want to speak. Her throat was dry and dry. When she returned to the ward, she drank a cup of warm water and then lay down on the bed to rest. She was dizzy and soon fell asleep.
At this time, Nelissa didn’t sleep well. She was half asleep and half awake. Subconsciously, she knew where she was. She could even hear the nurse’s soft voice outside the ward. Although she couldn’t hear the content, the voice came into her ears. Inside the dream was the struggle between the past and the present…
One scene after another flashed through her mind. Every single memory was fiercely affecting Nelissa’s heart. Her, Zayden’s, and Edward’s…
In a noisy bar.
The 18-year-old Nelissa was drunk. When she met the 29-year-old Edward, she cried in his arms with red eyes. She was homeless.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Edward picked up Nelissa and walked forward firmly with his straight and slender legs. He lowered his head, kissed Nelissa’s ear, and seemed to be talking.
-“Then come home with me. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
