Chapter 109
Nelissa coughed lightly and Edward looked up at her. Jolene was still talking about it, and she was a little embarrassed. "Okay, I'm fine." Jolene said in a strange tone, "Edward is beside you?"
Nelissa didn't say anything. Jolene took it as a tacit agreement. When faced with a big shot, there was nothing he could do about it. "Be careful. His intentions towards you are too obvious. He's obviously harboring ill intentions towards you. You can't resist the temptation. Anyway, we've already signed the contract, and you've earned the money. He's not your direct superior, so you don't have to swallow your anger when necessary."
Nelissa looked at Edward'er, who was still stroking her leg like a massage. She didn't swallow her anger and said in a low voice, "Hmm..."
Jolene drove his car and said, "I'm on my way to pick up Noelle for Nathan. You can go home later. You don't have to go to school."
Nelissa glanced at the time. Indeed, she couldn't make it in time. "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The call ended.
Nelissa slowly withdrew her leg. Edward said unhappily, "What does your friend mean to me?"
Nelissa looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"She persuaded you not to be with me," Edward said coldly.
"I'm not trying to incite you," whispered Nelissa. Jolene was also thinking for her sake, afraid that she would meet another scumbag. "Who told you to have a bad reputation outside?" Edward's brows twitched. He stared into Nelissa's eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nelissa couldn't say that there were any flaws. She looked up at Edward and looked at him carefully. This man was still very good-looking. He had a good family background, money, and wealth. His status and status were obvious. In addition to being a little overbearing, he was a little strong. Sometimes, he was a little rogue to her. Edward did have the capital to make women's hearts flutter. No wonder he said that he was the national husband and the sexual fantasy of many women. Edward's tall body suddenly approached Nelissa. Looking down from above, he could see the curves of Nelissa's body under her ragged bathrobe. There were traces of him on her thin white neck. She was already his woman.
His left finger rubbed her red lips. "I'm 34 years old. Do you think I can be as innocent as Paper?"
Nelissa shook her head. She didn't think that Edward was a pure man. He was much more mature than her, and there was a gap in age between them.
In the past, she didn't think that she would like this kind of man. The more she grew up, the more aesthetic her taste changed. Probably because she gave birth to a child for him, her mind was also more mature. Men of the same age as her couldn't bear the responsibility of two children.
In the future, even if she wanted to find a man in the second spring, she could only choose a man who was older than her.
Edward put his arm around Nelissa's thin shoulders, lowered his head, and kissed her delicate collarbone with his thin lips. He whispered in a low voice, "Don't let others' prejudice on me. I'm not as romantic as you think. Do you know how difficult it is for me to fall in love with a woman? It depends on whether she's clean or not, whether she's pleasing to the eye, and the risk of being pestered by the other party after the incident. I would rather solve the problem myself than die." Edward had no tenderness or patience. He was particularly annoyed by women pestering him. Except for Nelissa, there were many women he didn't like. Sophie was only more sensible than these women, and that was all.
"I... I'm not..." She did not ask him about his personal life.
Nelissa couldn't help blushing.
More than once, she had been looked down upon by Nelissa. Looking at her palm-sized little face, her beautiful eyelashes were blinking, and her extremely white and tender skin could easily blush, but it was also out of habit. Edward suddenly felt a little uncertain. She was not sure if Nelissa also liked him. Would she be happy if he broke up with Sophie? Or would she not care?
He looked at Nelissa and asked, "What are you thinking? After I broke up with Sophie, you must date me."
Nelissa grabbed Edward's bathrobe collar. She had never seen a man as overbearing as him.
"Aren't you in a dilemma?" she asked. Could he break up with Sophie just because he said so? Their relationship probably wasn't that easy.
"I've gotten a lot. It doesn't matter if I lose some of them," Edward said with a frown. There was a serious look in his eyes, and he wanted to be with Nelissa regardless of the consequences.
For some reason, Nelissa's heart skipped a beat for the look in Edward's eyes. Her heart beat faster, and her reasoning was uncertain. "Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer."
Jolene was right. She had been mesmerized by Edward, so she couldn't reject his offer. He wasn't just her father, who had been her first man for Nathan. If she didn't have to consider other factors, she should want to date him. "But could it be another thing?" Nelissa was in a dilemma and sighed secretly.
If he told Edward that Noelle had been his child for Nathan, he would torture her badly.
Edward nodded in thought. It was the first time he had confessed his love to a woman. He didn't know what to do next. Without experience, wouldn't it make Nelissa feel that he was not considerate and give her some time to realize that he liked her? Anyway, he had to marry her!
When she was changing clothes, Edward did not avoid her. She stood in front of Nelissa and glared at her, which made it difficult for her to open her mouth. She blushed and almost curled up in the quilt. It was really inconvenient for her to show her white flesh when she was wearing stockings, but Edward noticed her.
After getting dressed, Nelissa got out of bed and looked for the comb in her bag with her head down. Her ears were burning hot and she didn't dare to look at Edward. She took the comb and went into the bathroom to comb her hair. Edward fastened the buttons of his white shirt and looked at Nelissa's bag. His eyes were strange, and then he bent down...
Nelissa dried her hair in the bathroom for more than ten minutes and combed her long black hair with a half-moon-shaped wooden comb. She had not gone out to tidy her hair for a long time since she came back to Haleston City. Her hair had grown a lot and almost reached her waist. She had to go out to cut it shorter when she had time.
Edward came in with a black tie and stood beside Nelissa. He raised his beautiful chin slightly and tied his tie with his slender hands.
The mirror clearly reflected them. The tall man and the petite woman were tidying themselves up, harmonious and intimate, like a couple.
"Let's go to my house for dinner tonight," Edward said as he put on his tie and looked at Nelissa in the mirror. His Adam's apple moved slightly.
"I have to go home." Nelissa combed the hair on her chest, making her look even more petite and fair.
"I'll send you home after dinner." After putting on his tie, Edward's beautiful fingers lifted a wisp of warm black hair and kissed her. She looked elegant and rich. She looked at her and said, "Stay with me. I don't want to have dinner alone." "Okay." Nelissa's heart softened as she responded. Her eyes were slightly raised, and in Edward's eyes, she looked tender and delicate. He liked her very much.
Edward went out to call Eliza and told her not to prepare dinner and to get off work early.
Nelissa listened from the side. It was impossible for Eliza to count on the young master to make dinner. She could only cook.
"Why don't we go out and eat?" She wanted to be lazy and cook very tired.
"I want to eat home-cooked food." Edward picked up a diamond watch next to the bed and handed it to her. She blinked her eyes and understood. She took the watch and put it on him. Her little hand touched his strong wrist, showing his muscles.
It was a man's characteristic.
The more Nelissa thought about it, the angrier she became. She was like a little wife who served Edward. She had to cook for him when he gave birth to a baby, as well as what eunuchs did!
"Let's go." Edward put his right hand on the handle of the door and stretched out his left hand to Nelissa, waiting for her.
Nelissa looked down and walked over with her bag in her hand. She put her small hand on Edward's warm and thick palm. His big hand wrapped around her whole small hand. His long hands and feet were also tall, and even his hands were much bigger than hers. Being held by such a pair of men's strong hands, to be honest, he felt that he was not bad. He was not afraid of falling down while walking.
He withdrew his room and left the hotel.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening. The sky was dark, and the street lights were flashing.
Nelissa got in Edward's car. She fastened the seat belt and talked to him. The road was quite smooth. After passing several traffic lights, Nelissa looked out of the window and said, "Is there a pharmacy near your home? I want to buy some medicine."
After finishing the contraceptive pills at home, she needed to buy a box of them. After dinner, she could eat them.
Edward pursed his thin lips and drove in silence. He held the steering wheel so tightly that Nelissa seemed not to have heard what he was doing. Her fingers were tugging at his fingers, and she felt uneasy for no reason.
The black luxury car stopped in front of a chain of large pharmacy. Edward unlocked the automatic lock in the car and looked sideways at Nelissa, who was about to unlock the seat belt and get out of the car. He suddenly felt uncomfortable and reached out to hold Nelissa's arm. She was so slender and weak, and she was spoiled. Would taking contraceptive pills affect her body? Would she feel uncomfortable?
The female companion Edward knew changed very quickly. Every time after the incident, she would give the woman a pill to keep an eye on her, preventing her from playing tricks and playing with her feelings.
When this kind of thing happened to Nelissa, Edward's face darkened. He wanted Nelissa to give birth to a baby for him. He wanted to think about it very much. He didn't want her to take medicine. "Hmm?" Nelissa turned to look at him, her arm pulled by him in confusion.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Edward's handsome face. "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Nelissa smiled and shook her head. "No need."
Edward let go of her hand and frowned as she watched Nelissa get out of the car. Her gaze was dark and unclear as she stared at the entrance of the pharmacy. Not long after, Nelissa came out with the medicine. Back in the car, she put the contraceptive pills in her bag. She also bought a box of candy to moisten her throat. It was necessary for work. When her throat hurt and her throat was hoarse, she could take one to slightly relieve it.
"Do you want to eat it?" Nelissa took one and brought it to Edward's mouth, asking him.
Edward drove the car without saying a word. His thin lips opened to contain the candy in Nelissa's hand. It was the first time he had eaten something like this. He really liked eating sweet food, but very few people knew about it. In fact, Nelissa was trying to please her. She could tell that Edward didn't like her to buy contraceptive pills. Did he really want her to be pregnant and give birth to a baby for her?
