Chapter 116
Edward finished his breakfast slowly. The sky outside gradually turned white. Nelissa made a cup of coffee for him with hot water and added a lot of milk. She put it in front of him and let him drink to refresh himself. The fast- instant white coffee was a brand that Jolene usually drank. It was quite expensive to buy it in the supermarket. She had a good taste after drinking it, but she didn't know if Edward was used to drinking it.
It was a very hot cup of coffee. Edward picked up the cup and drank it elegantly. The sweet taste of milk was what he liked. Seeing that he was not picky, Nelissa felt at ease to wash the dishes. After all, he was a picky man. He did not like to drink coffee from a five-star hotel.
Edward finished a cup of coffee, looked up at the watch time, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. Then he got up and walked into the kitchen. Nelissa was washing the bowl and taking off her gloves to clean her little hands. Edward clung to her back, with his arms around her warm and slender waist. His sexy and handsome face was close to her thin white neck. Her skin and skin were rubbing down, just like her warm skin.
The masculine scent of his body was just right, and there was a faint scent of hormones.
Nelissa lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little shy. Edward kissed the skin on her neck and felt itchy. "Why aren't you leaving? Don't you need to take the plane?"
"Yes, I'm leaving." Edward turned around and held her face with her hands. She looked straight into her eyes and said, "I'll hear your answer when I come back. I don't want to come to your house like this anymore. I'll break up with Sophie as soon as possible and date you openly as a bachelor. I'll take care of what you're worried about, and you can just follow me with two kids, okay?"
Looking at Edward's serious eyes, Nelissa opened her mouth but couldn't say a word. She was close to his thin lips, as if they were breathing in and out. For a moment, she was obsessed with his charm.
Even if Noelle was not his child for Nathan, would he accept everything about her? For her?
"Also, don't listen to your friend's encouragement." Edward raised his handsome eyebrows and ordered Nelissa.
Nelissa suddenly wanted to laugh. "Jolene has changed his attitude towards you."
Edward was indifferent. He didn't care about what women other than Nelissa thought of him. He was used to being superior to others, but he only lowered his head to please her. He was a man who only cared about what he liked. Those who didn't care were annoying and cold-hearted.
He said, "Send me out?"
"Okay." Nelissa nodded gently and held Edward's hand tightly. He walked in front of her and followed behind her. When she looked up, she could see his broad back. The pure-colored suit was tall and straight on his skeleton-sized body. It was very beautiful.
Open the door and go out.
Edward bent down and kissed Nelissa's cheek. She said with her thin lips, "You don't have to ask someone to change the lock. I'll bring you a gift when you come back."
Nelissa's pretty face was red with embarrassment. She felt like she was Edward's wife. After sending him out, he came back from a business trip to bring her gifts. They were so intimate.
"I'm leaving." Edward was about to leave, but Nelissa's small white hands were still holding his big hand. She looked at him obediently, acting like a spoiled child and unwilling to let go. "Hmm?" Edward raised his eyebrows and gave a handsome smile.
Nelissa suddenly let go of her hand. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what had happened just now. Her eyes flickered. Edward held the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her again. His thin lips curved up and he whispered charmingly, "Very cute."
Nelissa's heart beat faster because of this. She watched Edward enter the elevator and leave. She stood at the door of the house in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses and sighed unconsciously. "This man is really cunning. He didn't mention Anna in front of me."
Edward went downstairs, got in the car, and drove directly to the airport. Assistant Andrew had already helped him pack his luggage and needed items. He didn't need to go home anymore. He just needed to board the airport. An hour later, in the VIP lounge.
As soon as Edward arrived, the beautiful flight attendant welcomed the distinguished first-class guests with a smile. Andrew came to Edward's side and reported, "Young Mr. Hales, your luggage is ready. This is your boarding pass. There is still half an hour before boarding."
"Okay." Edward sat down on the comfortable leather sofa and stretched his long legs. There was still half an hour left before he opened his pen and flashlight, connected to the internet, and read the news.
The beautiful flight attendant brought a cup of hot coffee and asked with a gentle smile, "Mr. Hales, what can I do for you? Have you had breakfast? Do you need to prepare it for you?"
"No need." Edward stared intently at the screen of the pen and flashlight. His slender hand picked up the coffee beside the table and took a sip. Immediately, he pursed his thin lips tightly. The bitter taste was too strong. He disliked this kind of black coffee the most. He pushed the coffee cup with his fingers and placed it further away. He would not touch it again.
There was a note hidden at the bottom of the cup. The air stewardess's delicate and beautiful face changed slightly. She stole a glance at Edward's handsome side face. The tall and straight man under the suit, who was perfect to the extreme, turned a blind eye to her hint and walked away in disappointment.
In the morning morning shift, the flight attendant paid a lot of money to change shifts with her colleagues. She knew that there would be a big shot in Haleston City boarding in this VIP lounge today.
In their business, they were well-informed, and there were many noble people they could get in touch with. The president of the group was a big star and a rich second generation, even high-ranking officials. Many young and beautiful female stewardesss took this opportunity to build ties with the rich and powerful, and then went ashore to marry into a rich and powerful family, living a good life.

Unfortunately, Edward could not catch her. The stewardess was a little frustrated. Such a good-looking man, she was willing to have a romantic affair with him.
After Andrew returned from the bathroom, he ordered the flight attendant to change into another cup of coffee. He wanted more milk. Then, he said to Edward, "Young Mr. Hales, when you were in a meeting last night, Miss Sophie had been looking for you. I didn't reply to her after that. Do you need to reply to her today?"
"There's no need. If she can't find me, she'll call me." Edward's voice was cold and he spoke in a business-like tone. He didn't have much affection for Sophie.
"Yes." Andrew understood. "By the way, Miss Moore has just started working today, and her work arrangements are..."
After all, she was the daughter of a rich family, and Andrew was not very familiar with her.
Edward frowned with a hint of disgust. "Other than official business, she'll handle all the trivial matters. There's no need to take extra care of her. Like the female secretary she applied for, she'll be in her internship for three months. If she can't do it well, she'll pack up and leave."
"I understand." In fact, Andrew didn't understand whether rich people liked to look for trouble. It was obvious that Yvonne was a man of fortune. His family was rich and powerful, but he insisted on hiring a secretary who was less than 3,000 yuan a year old. Did he really think that he could develop a relationship with Young Mr. Hales in the same office every day?
According to Andrew's understanding, Young Mr. Hales had never been gentle to women. He was basically isolated from gentlemen.
Edward lit an electronic copy and sent an email to the e-mail. The signature was: Sean.
Edward's eyebrows twitched slightly. It should be early in the evening when he opened the email sent by Sean. A simple map was all places that Anna had been to during these years. The map was from the beginning, and then he did go to Ocean City, and went to... Southville City?
Edward's eyes were clear. It was impossible for Anna to be alone. She had never suffered hardships and had no ability to support herself. Who had covered for her these years?
Sean sent him a message. In recent years, they had changed their target. Instead of looking for Anna, they found the person who took Anna away directly faster!
Sean: "That girl went abroad to hide after leaving the Bailey family. No wonder she couldn't be found in Haleston City at that time! I thought she was just an ordinary high school student. It seems that her family background is also very powerful. They know who I am, so they sent her out to hide in the country!"
If the scope was reduced, in the business circle of Haleston City, the youngest daughter of the boss of a listed group would be between 22 and 23 years old.
"Young Mr. Hales, we're about to board the plane." Andrew looked at the time to remind him.

Edward turned off the pen and flashlight and did not reply to Sean's message. His eyes were shallow and deep, full of mystery.
Sean didn't know that the night before Anna disappeared, he called Edward and asked him...
Love her, or love her.
Victory group's morning.
When Nelissa received the roses from Edward in the office, she was a little surprised. She thought that he was going on a business trip, so the flowers should have been cut off. She didn't expect that he would insist on sending her, which was quite in line with what he said.
Nelissa put down the bouquet and rushed out to see the customer. On the way, she called the landlord and told him roughly that the key had been found. She didn't need to bother him to change the lock.
The landlord was happier than her. They were all working workers who were most afraid of trouble. In this way, she could save a lot of effort. The landlord asked her to live in peace and sound. Before she moved in, he had lived there for many years. The community was a little old, but there were many old neighbors in the old city. They would greet her when she went in and out, and there were not many people outside.
They went to the western restaurant to meet.
In the process of negotiation, she needed to change the details of the contract. Nelissa couldn't make up her mind about it. The contract was drawn up by her superior. If she needed to change it, she needed to ask her superior for instructions. How could her subordinate change the contract casually?
This matter could only be delayed. After Nelissa went back to the company and asked Jolene for instructions, Jolene would ask the boss before knowing if they could talk about it again.
It was still early when they left the western restaurant.
Nelissa intended to hang out with Dr. Harvey for a while, so she didn't go back to the company first. Instead, she hired a car to go to the Jung Hospital. Dr. Harvey had been in the company for many days. She couldn't wait to have a weekend holiday, so she had to go to the hospital to ask for the opinion of the authoritative doctor. There was still no chance for her mother to wake up.
A few minutes later, the bus stopped in front of the Jung Hospital. Nelissa paid the fare and got out of the car. She hurriedly pressed the elevator button and went upstairs.
Her mother was still the same. She was lying on the bed, showing no signs of waking up. There was a nurse taking care of her.
Nelissa went to Dr. Harvey's office. The female nurse told her that Dr. Harvey was performing an operation and was not in the room. Nelissa could only return to Sonya's ward and wait for Dr. Harvey to finish the operation.
