Chapter 119
The actual salary of the security guards was not low. Edward had always been generous to useful people.
Their duty was very simple and clear. They were responsible for protecting the safety of Nelissa and Nelissa's children. The others in the community were only attached. Once Nelissa moved out of here, they could resign. However, this was the first time they had seen such a thing. It could be seen that Young Mr. Hales attached great importance to this woman. Could the two children be Young Mr. Hales's illegitimate children? It was possible. Generally speaking, if a rich man wanted to keep his little pet, he just needed to buy a villa and hide it in his room. Otherwise, he might as well call the rich man and ask him to get a room in the hotel.
A woman like her, who had been protecting a woman for 24 hours, was incomparable in nature. Nelissa should be Young Mr. Hales's favorite woman.
After greeting the security guard, Nelissa walked into the community. She was absent-minded and a little absent-minded. She pressed the elevator button with her fingers until the elevator came. When the door was about to close, she reacted and quickly pressed the button to enter.
She leaned against the corner of the elevator and tapped on her phone with her fingers. She couldn't calm down as if she was deep in thought. She clicked on the address book, looked at Edward's number, blinked her eyelashes, and dialed. "Beep, beep..."
After only two rings, Edward picked up the phone. Nelissa thought he would not answer the phone. It was only now, and he probably hadn't woken up yet.
"Miss me?" Edward's voice was very low and low. It was close to Nelissa's ear, as if it was lingering around her heart.
"Are you awake?" Nelissa's face turned red unconsciously, and her white fingers touched the smooth wall of the elevator, just like when she was in love. She was embarrassed.
"I didn't sleep much." Edward leaned against the head of the bed, wearing a loose robe. His handsome face was languid, and his beautiful hands were pinching his brows. "Last night, we had a lot of wine in the middle of the night. My head hurts so much that I can't fall asleep."
Nelissa frowned. Hearing Edward's words, she felt a little uncomfortable. "Have you got anyone to make you some herbal tea?"
"I asked the hotel chef to cook it. It's hard to drink," Edward said, glancing at the herbal tea on the table beside the bed. He pushed it further away with his noble fingers, looking disgusted.
Nelissa knew Edward's taste very well. He didn't touch any bitter taste. He liked sweet and sweet food. "Ask them to put some sugar candy to cook. You have to drink sweet food." Edward frowned and said nothing.
Nelissa didn't know why she suddenly understood this man. Few people knew that Edward liked sweet food. This was not in line with his image. Alas, he loved face very much. This was the same as his son, proud!
She said in a soft voice, "Ask the people in the hotel to make another cup of coffee and a cup of sugar. Put two cubes of sugar into the tea and drink them. It won't be hard to drink."
"Mm." Edward's thin lips curled into a smile. His handsome face was gentle and his chest was slightly warm.
"Ding." When the elevator arrived, Nelissa looked at the floor and said as she went out, "I just sent Noelle to take the school bus for Nathan. Now that we are home, then..."
Nelissa was about to hang up when Edward interrupted her in a hoarse voice. "Nelissa, I'm not feeling well."
She acted like a spoiled child, but her voice was so hoarse and sexy. Nelissa blushed and her heart trembled for no reason. She knew that he was playing rogue, but she couldn't help but soft her heart to him. "What do you want?" Edward choked and said, "Keep me company. I want to hear your voice."
Nelissa bit her lips and looked at her own house. Jolene was at her house. She turned around and walked to the stairs of her apartment. She replied with a "hmm" and sat on the stairs to chat with him on the phone. Listening to his pleasant voice, her heart beat faster.
While chatting, Nelissa talked about the security guards. "Why did you place your people in my neighborhood?"
Edward said frankly, "I want to change a place for you to live. If you don't agree, I can only rest assured by doing this. The security in this community is not good, and the previous security guards are almost the same as them. You are so weak, and I can press you down with a little strength. If there is really something, you have to take care of the two children. How can you not plant people around you? When I am not here, at least I must ensure that someone will protect you." Nelissa's heart was filled with sweetness, and she was a little moved. She said stubbornly, "There's no problem with the public security here."
Edward's tone immediately turned stern. "What do you mean by 'no problem'? Let's talk about it when something happens to you?" Thinking of Nelissa's crying face, Edward was very unhappy. "Were you scared when I came to your house the night before yesterday? You're about to cry. How dare you talk back to me?"
Nelissa blushed and said anxiously, "I didn't cry."
Edward didn't expose her and gave way to her. "If I weren't the one who came in, would I be crying?"
Nelissa bit her red lips and couldn't refute. She might really cry. She wasn't that strong, especially after Edward appeared and was protected by him. It was a very good feeling.
"Be obedient." Edward's tone was doting. Hearing Nelissa's disappointing heartbeat, he said gently, "If you want to cry, you can only cry in front of me, hmm."
It was as if they were flirting with each other.
Nelissa's chest trembled, and many red-faced scenes flashed through her mind. She said angrily, "I'm going to hang up!"
Edward smiled lazily. "You're not going to talk anymore?"
Nelissa looked down and blinked her eyelashes hard, but she didn't hang up the phone in her right hand. She asked him softly, "When will you come back?" "Soon, I'll finish my work here as soon as possible. I'll find you as soon as I come back." Edward promised.

"Yes," Nelissa replied softly. "Have a rest. Don't drink so much wine."
"Okay." It was the first time that Edward had been taken care of by a woman. She enjoyed the warmth of her heart.
After saying goodbye to each other, they hung up the phone. The phone was very hot, Nelissa's hand holding the phone was also very hot, and her white cheeks were even hotter. The feeling of falling in love with a man should be the feeling of being tempted. Her heart could not help beating faster.
She didn't like overbearing men, but she liked Edward.
When they got home.
Nelissa first went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking in the mirror, she knew how red her face was. Luckily, Jolene didn't see it.
Jolene came out of the kitchen and asked Nelissa, "What did you do? It took you Nathan to send Noelle back?"
Nelissa wiped her face with a towel as she replied to Jolene, "I chatted with the new security guard in the neighborhood for a while."
Jolene cried out in surprise, "I'm going." "This rundown neighborhood can actually hire new security guards? With such a small salary, even the outside washing workers can earn more than him."
Nelissa forced a smile. It was hard to say.
Jolene shouted in the living room, "Hurry up and get changed. You'll be late for work."
"Got it." Nelissa came out and went back to her room to change into a set of formal clothes. She went out with Jolene, and took Jolene's ride to work.
The automatic railing at the entrance of the community rose, and the security guards nodded to them politely. They were tall and strong.
Jolene drove the car and kept saying that it was a pity, "My body is full of muscles. What's wrong with my body? It's a waste to be a security guard in our neighborhood."
Nelissa was spouting nonsense. "The market is now at Ke Da University."
Jolene nodded in admiration. "That's right."
"Young Mr. Hales."
The manager of the hotel knocked on the door and came in. He respectfully put Edward's snacks on the dining table of the suite, a cup of wine-cutting tea, a cup of hot coffee, and a bottle of sugar milk for coffee, and then went out under Edward's signal.

In a complete box of sugar, Edward opened the seal, and according to Nelissa's words, he picked up two of them and threw them into the steaming rise-off tea. Then, he stirred them with the spoon key.
When the sugar was almost melted, he picked it up and took a sip. He frowned slightly. The taste was not delicious, but it was sweet and barely tasted it. At least it was not as bad as the first time.
Edward sat down on the chair in front of the dining table and drank the hot tea. He didn't like to drink it, so he drank it very slowly. But thinking of Nelissa's words, he didn't reject it so much. Until he finished it, he felt that it wasn't that hard to drink.
After drinking the herbal tea, Edward's headache eased a little. He untied his robe and leaned against the bed tiredly. His mind was in a state of chaos. At this moment, his cell phone rang. He reluctantly opened his eyes and reached out to take a look, wondering if it could be Nelissa.
It was a call from Sophie.
Edward frowned and placed his slender fingers on top of it. His thin lips were pressed tightly under the shadow of his handsome face. He was very impatient.
Yesterday, when he got off the plane, he received countless phone calls from Sophie. His schedule here was so tight that he didn't want to be distracted and talk to her, so he cut the phone into the central control system and didn't pick up her phone. She called him early this morning, which ruined his mood very much.
Her fingers tapped on the screen of her phone, and she picked up the call from Sophie. Her voice came from beside his ear. "Edward."
Edward asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Sophie tried her best to sound gentle and lovely. "Why didn't you tell me that you were on a business trip? I went to the company to look for you and saw that Miss Moore had become your secretary. What's going on?"
Edward replied coldly, "She came to my company to apply. All the conditions meet the requirements and she passed the high-level interview. That's it."
Sophie scratched the table with her beautiful fingernails and said coquettishly with a smile, "I'm jealous. Can I come here to find you? I want to accompany you."
"We agreed before that we should give both sides private space. If you have time to accompany me, why don't you spend more effort to please your father, so that your mother won't have to follow him without a title." Edward had no sexual interest in Sophie, and had a sexual interest. She had already been good to her when she showed her kindness to him.
It seemed that all men were like this. They were born with a bad background and had no sexual character. Even if they came to their door, they would not be interested.
No matter how long it had been, an interesting woman could not forget the fleshy smell that was so intoxicating.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm very busy here. Don't call me these days." After that, Edward ended the call.
Neither he nor Sophie took advantage of each other. After he and Sophie got married, her mother had the confidence to ask Ryan to get a marriage certificate and be the legal wife. A business union was the benefit of both sides.
