Chapter 136
The delivery guy arrived home soon. Nelissa opened the door to get it and put the lunch on the table. Noelle carefully filled a cup of hot water for Nathan. She took the medicine to relieve the fever and said to Nelissa, "Mom, remember to take medicine after dinner. Take four during the day and two at night. Don't make a mistake."
"Got it. Let's eat first." Nelissa gave them lunch and sat down. She was soft-hearted and weak, holding her chopsticks.
She didn't want to eat any more after eating a few mouthfuls of hot rice. The corners of her mouth hurt. She had been bitten by Edward last night. It was obvious that it was a red mark. It would probably hurt for a few days.
This morning, Jolene had pointed at her mouth and asked her what was going on. She had said that she had accidentally bitten something. Although she sprained her ankle, Jolene wouldn't suspect that it was Edward biting. Jolene wasn't clear about what had happened between her and Edward.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of hot soup, Nelissa was full. She had bought too much for lunch, and she couldn't finish her own in Nathan. The rest of the food was going to be poured out. She should have bought two sets for the family of three to eat, but she was slow when she had a fever, so she could only waste them.
Nelissa was stunned.
Nathan reminded her, "Mom, take your medicine."
Nelissa blinked twice and touched the transparent cup with her white fingers. It was very hot. "I'll eat it when the water gets cold."
Nathan later, he nodded and stared at the cup of water while eating. His task today was to take good care of his mother!
Nelissa got up and went to the bathroom. When she washed her hands, she looked at the mirror in the bathroom. The corners of her mouth were red. She wiped her hands and approached the mirror to take a closer look. Her skin was broken, but there was no more blood. Last night, Edward was really angry and disappointed with her. He had already been very good to her. She did not expect forgiveness.
Not to mention breaking up, no one said that they would definitely be together if they liked each other. The reality was always incomplete. It was good to get used to it. It was just a man. He began to get tired of her and would not come to her again.
Looking at her pale face in the mirror, Nelissa couldn't help sighing.
She washed the wound on the corner of her mouth, went out to take medicine, and then called the locked company to change the lock at her house.
An hour later, the staff of the changing company arrived. Nelissa stood at the door in a cotton coat and watched the master's work. She changed the lock unexpectedly fast. After she was done, Nelissa paid the money in her wallet. Looking at the new lock and key, she and Edward were completely broken. They couldn't always let him hold the key to her home.
She had considered moving with Jolene and changing to another place of residence. However, in Haleston City, it didn't matter where she lived. Furthermore, it wasn't easy to find the rent for two adjacent houses.
She stopped moving and stayed here. She bet that Edward didn't like her that much. His pride had already reached her bottom line. She had a feeling that he wouldn't give in to her this time. It was really over.
Back in the living room.
Nelissa sat down on the sofa, raised her weak wrist, and put it on her high temperature forehead. After a while, she seemed to be burning higher. She opened her mouth and breathed. Her lips were warm and red. Her daughter, Noelle, tore off a fever relief post for her and stuck it to her forehead to help cool down.
"Are you uncomfortable? Go to sleep?" Her daughter squatted on the sofa and asked her.
"I'm a little tired." Nelissa lowered her head, touched Xiao Noelle's face and said, "Go and get my phone. I want to make a phone call."
"I'll take it." After Nathan of running into her room, he quickly ran out and handed her the phone.
He unlocked his phone and found no caller ID.
Nelissa was in a bad mood and relatively calm. She called the landlord and told him that she had changed the lock today.
She was supposed to wait for the landlord to come over and change the lock. She was a little anxious and did not want to give herself a chance to regret.
The landlord asked her, "Didn't you say that the key hasn't been dropped? Why did you change the lock?"
Nelissa had a fever and was talking nonsense. "I found it at that time, and then accidentally dropped it. The security nearby is not very good. I think it's safer to change a lock."
The landlord couldn't do anything about it. He could only make an appointment with Nelissa when the lock was changed. He came over to get a backup key, and he was still worried about it. Fortunately, Nelissa said that she needed to change the lock. He didn't need to be responsible for it, so he agreed.
He hung up the phone.
Nelissa really needed to lie on the bed and rest, so she was a little weak. She was wrapped in the quilt, staring at the phone beside the bed. There was no sound of any information. Gradually, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Seven o'clock in the evening.

Eliza still had an hour to get off work. The male master didn't go to work today. He stayed at home all day. The assistant came with some documents. He just left and didn't stay for dinner.
After finishing the five dishes and one soup, Eliza went upstairs and knocked on the door of Edward's study. She asked him, "Mr. Hales, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
Edward replied, "You get off work first. I'll eat later."
"Okay." Eliza took off her apron and was ready to go home after work.
Edward leaned back on the big chair. He rubbed his eyebrows with his slender and clear hands, feeling a little tired. He looked at the mobile phone beside the computer, his eyes fixed on the deep darkness, and his handsome face had a gloomy shadow.
After an unknown period of time, the dark screen of his phone lit up and a phone rang.
Almost in the next second, Edward picked up his phone to have a look. The caller ID showed: Sophie.
He did not wait for the person he was waiting for. He pursed his thin lips tightly and ignored Sophie. His phone kept ringing. He frowned in annoyance and got up to leave the study. Eliza had already gotten off work one by one for dinner downstairs.
Edward glanced at the dining table and went straight into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of ice water. Then he went back to the second floor. He had no appetite to eat. Everything in front of him and a little sound made Edward very annoyed, as if he had returned to five years ago, inexplicably irritable and decadent, and inexplicably lost his taste.
It was only because she was so sincere about a woman that she could not forget.
Edward returned to the bedroom. His slender hand grabbed the collar of the wardrobe and took off his white T-shirt, revealing his bare upper body. Under the sexy abdominal muscles was the edge of the black man's underwear. He opened the wardrobe and took out a suit of casual suit with a heavy color. He changed it and casually put on the buttons of the shirt. The two buttons below the Adam's apple were unlocked, and his collarbone was partly hidden and partly visible. He took the car key and mobile phone and drove out.
As he drove aimlessly, Edward drove very fast with the steering wheel, more than one car after another. It was not until the car was out of gas that he leaned against the side of the road and stopped. He forgot that he had almost used no oil last night and did not go to the gas station to cheer.
Edward picked up the phone next to him, dialed Andrew's assistant's number, and told him, "I'm in the second ring of Green Scenery. There's no more oil in the car. Send someone to drive me and buy a bucket of oil by the way." Andrew almost returned to the company. He turned the steering wheel and went to Edward's place. His assistant was always doing these trivial things. "I'll drive here now. It's not far from your place."
"Okay." Edward hung up the phone and looked out of the window. He frowned. "When did he become so embarrassed?"
He rolled down the automatic window, lit a cigarette with a lighter, and put it to his mouth. There was a high-end jewelry store in front of him. The sign was bright in the night. The man on the advertisement proposed to the woman and put a ring on her ring finger.
Edward looked at him. The cigarette between his fingers covered his eyes, as if he had been possessed. He couldn't help thinking that if he were that man, that woman would be Nelissa... Countless crazy illusions appeared in his mind. No matter how hard he tried to stop them, they couldn't make up for anything. He still couldn't help thinking about Nelissa.
Edward broke the cigarette in his hand and threw it out of the window without smoking. Then he opened the car door, walked out with his straight and slender legs, went to the jewelry shop, and entered.
"Good evening, sir." The female staff of the jewelry store was entertaining Edward. She peeked at his handsome and cold facial features and sighed with emotion. He was even more beautiful than the leading actor in the movie. He was very noble.
Ignoring the female customers, Edward went straight to the row of transparent safes of the ring category. There was no difference between platinum diamonds and rings in Edward's eyes. He had sent a lot of jewelry and jewelry to women, but all of them were handed over to Andrew. They were sent out in his name. He rarely came to such places and would not spend any effort to buy jewelry for women.
The last time, he picked a bracelet for Nelissa on a business trip to Bekki a few days ago. It was still in the drawer of his study.
The female salesman asked Edward, "Sir, do you want to buy a ring for your girlfriend?"
Edward said directly, "I want the pair of rings that I want to advertise."
The female worker looked at his handsome face. Did he have a wife? "That's a pair of wedding rings. The male rings and the female rings are a pair."
Edward said lightly, "Show it to me."
"Okay." The female sales woman put on a white glove with a bronze ring, took out the wedding ring, and introduced it. "This is the latest version of the new product. We are working on advertising. The platinum ring of the ring can be inlaid with diamonds, at most 12 diamonds. It represents the meaning of having a heart-to-heart relationship for 12 months a year. Are you giving it to your wife or proposing?"
The female guest was a little gossipy. Such a handsome male guest, whose clothes and appearance were extraordinary, could tell at a glance that he was a rich man. Did he have a master?
Edward was reading the ring and didn't pay much attention to the female salesgirl's introduction. At this moment, he just had an impulse to buy this pair of rings. As for what they were used for, he didn't even think about it. He was just possessed.
When Andrew arrived, he did not see Edward in the car, so he had to wait nearby. He looked around and was about to call Edward with his mobile phone when he suddenly saw Edward coming out of a jewelry store. He was stunned and walked over.
"Young Mr. Hales." Andrew glanced at the ring box in Edward's hand and suddenly understood.
"It's strange that Young Mr. Hales has been ignoring Sophie recently. It turns out that he can't wait to break up with her because he wants to marry her. Is Young Mr. Hales going to propose to Nelissa?"
"Did you buy the gasoline?" Edward asked him. He walked to his luxury car, opened the door of the driver's seat, and threw the rings he just bought into the storage box.
