Chapter 135
Nelissa looked at Edward. He was very close to her, and the muscles on his body were tight. She fluttered her eyelashes and lowered her eyes. Her cheeks were close to his hot chest, and the blood stains on the corners of her mouth stained a few spots of his snow-white shirt. He held her wrist tightly with his big hand. He was very angry now, and she knew it.
She said with distress, "No matter what I say, you won't listen to me. I have my own difficulties, and I don't want to be with you. You can't afford to give me a promise, I don't want to see you regret it in the future, and I don't want to regret it myself. Whether it's your identity or age, we're not suitable for each other. Don't care about me, okay? I'm still young, and I can't face so much pressure. Just take it as if I don't deserve your love, and let me live my own life. I know you don't want to force a woman who doesn't want to be with you. Edward, Ying..."
She wrapped her arms around Edward's sturdy waist and shook it gently. Nelissa slowly released her hands and lowered her arms powerlessly, begging him to give her up.
"Sophie and I broke up," Edward said indifferently. The heat in his chest was extinguished by the cold. Suddenly, he calmed down and his handsome face was expressionless.
He pushed Nelissa away and looked at her with his dark eyes. The madness in his eyes faded away little by little. "It's because I don't want you to be under pressure. I broke up with Sophie in front of my father tonight. Everyone was against it, but I didn't care. It was just a little loss of interest, or a lot of benefits. I was trying hard to be with you, but you retreated and told me not to care about you anymore."
Edward sneered and mocked himself.
He let go of Nelissa's hand and said coldly, "I like you. For the first time, I wanted to love someone at all costs. When they talked about marriage, I thought of you. In the end, I was the only one who was willing." Looking at Edward's expressionless face, Nelissa felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"I'm still young, I'm still young.." she murmured as if she was trying to find a reason for herself. She could only convince herself and him in this way.
She was only 23 years old, and she didn't understand love. She didn't know what was good for her. She just pretended that she really didn't know anything and failed to live up to his efforts.
Outside the door, he had been slapping the door for Nathan. He was in a hurry. When he heard the sound of Edward kicking over the chair, he didn't know what had happened. "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"
Nathan had passed, and the door had been locked. He shouted even more urgently, "Open the door, okay? What happened to you?"
Leaning against the door of the wardrobe, Nelissa didn't even have the strength to speak. Her vision was blurred and she couldn't see the disappointment on Edward's face with tears in her eyes.
"Call Madam Jolene!" Noelle's anxious voice rang out.
Edward looked straight at Nelissa, waiting for her to admit her mistake, and waiting for her to apologize. He would forgive her even if she was just acting like a spoiled child to him. She was already in a pitiful state of crying, but she refused to let him stay.
"You disappoint me." He turned around and opened the door.
"Uncle!" Nathan later, Noelle was extremely surprised. She was about to call Jolene on her phone, but she didn't call him.
Edward left without looking at Nelissa's two children. The sound of the door closing was loud. Nelissa knew that he was gone and would not come back. She would not care about her anymore.
She slowly squatted down and inserted her fingers deeply into her hair. She couldn't help crying and her face was full of tears.
Noelle didn't know what had happened in the past Nathan. Seeing her mother crying, they didn't dare to say a word and didn't know what to do.
Nathan later, she took off the tissue box on the dressing table. Noelle took out a few pieces and carefully wiped Nelissa's tears. She was usually the most sweet one. "Mom, don't cry, don't cry..."
Nelissa looked at the two children who had given birth to Edward. She cried even harder and the tip of her nose turned pink. "Don't call Jolene."
"Yes." Noelle and Nathan nodded immediately.
The two babies squatted down, accompanied by Nelissa. They also wanted to cry, very helpless.
After a while, Nelissa stopped crying and went to bed with Noelle in her arms for Nathan. She said to them with tears in her eyes, "Don't look for Edward anymore, okay?"
"Okay." The sensible Dragon-phoenix Fetus agreed.
The eyes of Nelissa, who had never liked to cry, were still red. He liked Edward very much, but his mother and uncle seemed to have quarreled. They looked very serious and might not be together. Although he was reluctant to part with his uncle, he wanted to protect his mother. Just like what Jolene's Godmother had said, there was no such thing as mutual gain. He could only buy his favorite toy and could not have it at the same time.
The Dragon-phoenix Fetus was more or less sensitive, and Noelle was reluctant to let Edward go, but she was her sister and could not cry. She wanted to coax her mother. She leaned into her mother's arms and rubbed her little head. "Mom, let's sleep with you tonight."
"You are so nice." Holding the two children, Nelissa couldn't help but feel sad and feel guilty for them.
The light in Nelissa's room went out. Edward was holding a cigarette in his mouth. Through the green smoke, his eyes were red and he was groaning.
He put out the cigarette butt with his hand, and there were already four or five cigarette butts on the ground.
Finally, he glanced in the direction of Nelissa's apartment, opened the car door, and got in.
After stepping on the gas pedal, Edward sped all the way. The apartment in the rearview mirror was getting farther and farther. The surrounding streets were constantly retreating until they could no longer be seen.
Edward drove the car aimlessly. He did not turn the corner but went straight ahead. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead. The traffic light turned on the red light. He suddenly slowed down the alarm, and the luxury car left two deep birthmarks on the road.
One minute's red light was as long as an hour in Edward's eyes, torturing him.
When he returned to the villa, it was already late at night. He had been driving for more than three hours, and the watch indicated that there was no gasoline soon.
Edward drove the car into the garage and entered the house through the door of the garage. Without turning on the lights, he lifted his feet and went straight upstairs. He pushed the door open and entered the bedroom. When he reached the bathroom, he turned on the light and glanced at the mirror. Edward stood in front of the mirror and pursed her thin lips tightly.
There were some bloodstains on the left side of his white shirt, like the blood dripping from his heart, and the warm blood stayed in his left heart.
The corners of Edward's eyes were hot and painful. Thinking of Nelissa's crying face, he punched the sink. He was in a bad mood, and the quieter he was, the worse it became.
She had a sleepless night.
The next day, early in the morning.
Eliza went to work early today. The male master came back from a business trip for a few days. She also had a few days off, so she naturally had to work hard.
When she opened the door and entered the room, Eliza heard the sound of TV in the living room. She changed into a pair of clean home shoes and walked into the living room. She saw that Edward was watching a game. Her slender figure was wearing black trousers and a white T-shirt. Her side face was thin and cold.
Eliza was a little surprised. She didn't know that Young Mr. Hales was a layman. She hadn't seen him chasing after a football match in the early morning.
"Good morning, Young Mr. Hales." She greeted him.
Edward didn't respond. There were dark circles around his eyes.
Eliza was an honest cook. She didn't know how to play football and thought that Edward was fascinated by the game. After greeting her, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When she finished the breakfast, she asked Edward to eat it. She went upstairs to tidy up the clothes he had changed last night and began to work every day.
Eliza went downstairs with a clothing basket and asked Edward, "Young Mr. Hales, do you want this shirt?"
The dirty shirt was stained with a few drops of blood. It was hard to clean the white clothes. Usually, Young Mr. Hales would not want clothes with stains. She asked him as usual, but dared not make up her mind to throw them away. After all, Young Mr. Hales's shirt cost three or four thousand yuan.
"Yes." Edward's voice was a little hoarse, because he hadn't slept all night. "Clean it and put it in my closet."
"Okay." Eliza could only soak her clothes in the laundry liquid to see if she could wash the blood. After a whole night, the blood was dry and hard to wash. She didn't know how Edward got it and where he got injured.
After breakfast, Edward went upstairs to his bedroom and sat down on the edge of the big bed. He rubbed his tired eyes with his noble hands and called his assistant, Andrew, to arrange work. He did not plan to go back to the company today. He hung up the phone.
Edward kept his head down as he looked at his phone. The male's Adam's apple moved, but there was no warm call.
Nelissa didn't go to work today, so she had a fever. Maybe it was because she had caught a cold in the rain yesterday and climbed up to the 10th floor. She had been tortured by the heat and cold, so she fell ill.

Jolene told her to take leave today and rest at home. Nathan later, Noelle muttered that she wouldn't go to school with her legs in her arms and wanted to stay behind to take care of her.
She and Jolene were helpless and couldn't bear to reject the child's feelings, so they agreed without principles. Before going out, Jolene called the teacher of the kindergarten, who had been in the past Nathan, to help them ask for leave.
It was very easy to go to kindergarten, and it was also very easy to ask for leave. The kindergarten teacher quickly agreed, thinking that his two proud students were sick, so he asked in a concerned tone.
After chatting with the teacher, Jolene hung up the phone and knocked on the head of Noelle's Nathan-old head with his fingers. He said grumpily, "You guys, no one knows who's taking care of you."
"I'll take good care of my mother!"
Jolene laughed out loud and asked him if he knew how to cook boiled water, whether he knew how to check the body temperature, or if he knew how to make lunch. He was so anxious that his handsome face flushed red, but he couldn't retort.
Nelissa smiled faintly and held the porcelain spoon in her little white hands. Her childish fingers were slightly raised, and she was drinking meat porridge. It was very light, so she couldn't taste it.
Jolene hadn't teased her for Nathan. With his bag on his shoulder, he said to Nelissa, "I'm going to work. Go get some sleep after breakfast. It'll be fine if you cover your body with sweat." Nelissa nodded. "Yes. Be careful on the way."
"I pay my respects." Jolene walked out in his high heels.
After Nelissa finished her breakfast, Noelle helped her clean up the bowls and chopsticks in the past Nathan. She took them into the kitchen and put them in the sink. She was very good at taking care of people.
She tightened her coat and went into the room to sleep, letting Noelle play for Nathan. They didn't go to play, but stayed by Nelissa's side to sleep with her. The children of a single-parent were very sensitive. They only had a mother, so they were afraid of losing their mother.
Nelissa didn't wake up until one o'clock in the afternoon. Noelle was reading the picture book beside her, looking very quiet.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Noelle asked her with a warm face.
Nelissa smiled. "I'm much better. Are you hungry?"
Noelle and Nathan nodded their heads. They were hungry. "Let's order takeout."
"Well, let's order three dishes and two soups." Nelissa didn't have the strength to cook.
