Chapter 184
When Edward opened the door, Nelissa was shocked. She had been wearing dark blue pajamas for Nathan and had gotten out of the tall and strong Edward. When she ran away, Nelissa glanced at her son's handsome face, which was red. He had taken an hour's bath, so he probably wouldn't dare to let his father take a bath for him again.
Thinking of this, Edward suddenly leaned over and leaned towards her. His slightly damp and dry fingers slid across her ears and asked ambiguously, "Do you think I can do it?"
Nelissa blushed slightly. She was so close that she could smell the masculine scent on Edward's body. She took a step back, and Edward grabbed her wrist and led her into the room. Only then did she see that his white shirt, which was of excellent quality, was already wet. She could faintly see his sturdy figure against his abdominal muscles. Fortunately, it was not too transparent, and his suit pants were also a little wet. He was in a much worse position after taking a shower than he had been in Nathan.
Nelissa looked up at the man. Although she had washed her son for an hour, he had overcome it.
Who could have imagined that Edward would serve a four-year-old child to take a shower? Perhaps only his own children would receive such treatment.
As soon as he entered the room, Edward took off his wet clothes. He had always been generous to Nelissa and allowed her to admire his figure. Nelissa looked at the open door and heard the sound of TV outside. It was Noelle who had been watching TV for Nathan. She gently closed the door and locked it. In the blink of an eye, she saw the edge of the black man's underwear exposed under Edward's belly and the secret button of his belt with her slender hands...
She hurriedly retracted her gaze and opened the wardrobe. She squatted in front of him and looked for new clothes for him. She threw her head at him without even raising her head. She only dared to look straight at him after he had changed.
"Come here." Edward sat down beside Nelissa's bed. He was only wearing a pair of long pants, and there was nothing on his upper body. He had bare arms, broad shoulders, and broad back. The muscular texture was full of masculine strength and beauty. If he went down slowly, he would be like a mermaid with abdominal muscles.
He was a very sexy man.
Nelissa went over and sat down beside Edward. The skin under the short sleeves was stained with the heat of his body, and her face was a little hot.
"Let's talk," said Edward. He lowered his eyes and looked at Nelissa's rosy face.
"Okay." Nelissa nodded. What should come must come. She looked up at his deep eyes and said, "I don't know where Anna is."
Edward frowned and pressed her gently. "Do you think I'm going to ask this question now?"
Nelissa shook her head. There were too many questions. "Are there any differences? No matter when you ask, you will still ask. But I really don't know where Anna is." Seeing that Edward didn't speak, she couldn't help but whisper, "I don't know how Anna felt when he disappeared. Do you blame me? I actually didn't have any feelings for him."
Edward looked at Nelissa seriously and asked, "Why should I blame you?"
Nelissa said matter-of-factly, "She's your fiancee."
His wife had run away. Didn't she hate those who had been abducted?
Edward's lips curled into a smile all of a sudden. Nelissa blushed at his teasing gaze, as if he had seen through her little thoughts.
She bit her lips lightly, her teeth grinding her lips.
Edward's eyes darkened. He raised his hand, tapped Nelissa's forehead lightly, and said, "It seems that you have a lot of questions to ask me. Well, let's ask one by one."
Nelissa nodded and asked him first, "What's your mood after Anna doesn't see you?"
Edward thought for a moment and said, "At that time, I had a lot of mess to deal with in my family and company. I was so busy every day that I was in no mood." Then she asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you give birth to Noelle for Nathan and always like me?"
Nelissa looked at him with a blushing face and shook her head. "No, I didn't know you at that time. I was too lonely and wanted to find a family to accompany me. To be honest, I don't know if such a reason is irresponsible." Because he couldn't bear the loneliness, he gave birth to Nathan. It was not the so-called selfless spirit of being a mother.
Edward frowned and put his big hand on Nelissa's shoulder, rubbing her into his arms. He leaned his chin against her head and sighed, "I'm sorry."
Nelissa's nose twitched, and a lot of unclear emotions welled up in her heart. All of a sudden, she broke down her strong and fragile heart in the past five years. She buried her face in Edward's chest, and her tears touched his male skin, slowly moistening it.
He held her little hand and massaged her belly.
"What did you do to me? Five years ago, you, why did you..." She couldn't continue. The beginning of her relationship with Edward was the most complicated one. In fact, she had always wanted to know what happened that night and why she met Edward. She was so drunk that she had no impression of him. But at that time, he was so drunk that he couldn't recognize her. Why did he have sex with her? She didn't know him at all.
"I like you. I've been watching you that night." Edward's deep and low voice rang out on Nelissa's head, beating her heart word by word. It beat faster and faster, and there was a trace of comfort in the tip of her heart. Her surging emotions seemed to be unbearable.
Nelissa pushed Edward away forcefully and raised her head to look at him. Her sincere expression was a complete mess. Her gaze was deep and sincere. She seemed to have understood it or not. Suddenly, she had a lot of questions to ask him, but she couldn't catch the main point.
"I don't understand," she murmured. "Are you..."

Edward's slender index finger gently pressed against Nelissa's lips, and his voice was magnetic. "A question."
Nelissa was discouraged. She seemed to have asked a question earlier.
She scratched the back of his hand with her fingers and stared at him, wondering when he had fallen in love with her.
Edward didn't respond. She picked up her warm little hand, lowered her head, and kissed her tender fingertips. She said in a good mood, "The last question. I still have to take Noelle to the hospital with me for Nathan for DNA test, but it doesn't mean that I suspect you. This DNA report shows that I want to take it back for my family. I can't be an illegitimate child. I want my wife and my child. Let's get married. Are you willing to marry me?" Nelissa was stunned and didn't react for a moment. She thought, "Is he proposing to me?"
It was a proposal. Edward had been in the bathroom with his newly recognized son for Nathan. He had been discussing how to propose to Nelissa. He had also found an invitation to propose on the Internet and saw countless practice methods and cases. Edward did not expect that there were so many different kinds of methods to propose. He visited them all once, but he could not agree with them. They were stupid and vulgar.
He didn't think that he would pull Nelissa to the bustling night market and spread a basket of petals on her head under the watch of passers-by. If he lit a row of520 candles in front of her, she would be moved to marry him immediately. The women who promised him were either stupid or too pretentious.
Even after Nathan of reading the practical cases in the post-bar, he only said, "You'd better not try, or Nelissa will be scared away."
Of course, Edward didn't take it seriously. He simply proposed without any tricks.
"Are you willing to marry me, huh?" Edward raised Nelissa's little chin with his fingers and asked her. His handsome face was both frivolous and enchanting.
Nelissa slapped his hand away and turned her face away. She didn't want to see him show off. He had a lot of questions and she didn't ask him. The more he showed off, the more depressed she became. She took a deep breath and adjusted her disappointing heartbeat, saying, "Are you proposing? Without flowers and rings, it's not romantic at all. I don't want to marry. No matter how bad others are, they have rings at least. What about you? You want me to take Noelle to marry you for Nathan. Tell me how much you've got. I won't marry you."
Edward had been staring at Nelissa. His angry look made him involuntarily reach out to pinch her face. He lowered his head and kissed her. He let go of her hand, picked up the white t-shirt on the ground, put it on from head to toe, and got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Nelissa asked in a low voice, following behind him. She didn't forget that she should be the one explaining Anna's matter tonight. Why was he angry when it came to marriage?
Edward opened the door, glanced at her, and strode out. "Go and find the ring."
Nelissa bit her lips. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the jewelry shop was closed. She saw Edward leave without looking back and took the key she had placed in front of the entrance. She said with a little temper, "Don't come back tonight."

"Mom, where is Dad going?" Noelle had been watching TV in the living room for Nathan. When she saw Edward leave, she thought that the couple had quarreled again. It had only been a long time since they had reconciled, and the adults were really troublesome!
"He went to buy something." When Nelissa said this, her face was a little red, and the two babies could not understand. Nelissa coughed, took the little hand of Noelle for Nathan, and took them back to the small room. "Go to sleep, aren't you tired?"
Noelle climbed onto her small bed Nathan later and asked, "Is Dad still back?"
"He must be back." Didn't he see that he had just taken away her key?
Noelle lay down side by side on the bed for Nathan, and Nelissa tucked them in. Noelle's eyes were shining, and she asked her mother excitedly, "Can Dad send us to school tomorrow?"
Nelissa kissed the tip of her daughter's nose and said, "Ask him tomorrow."
"Yes, he'll definitely agree." Noelle felt that her father liked her. He was nice to her brother and he was even taking a shower for him.
"Go to sleep." Nelissa sat down beside the small bed, picked up a story book, and began to tell a story.
After the story was finished, Noelle fell asleep for Nathan. They were tired tonight. Nelissa put down the story book, turned the little light beside the bed to the darkest, and then left the small room quietly.
She sat in the living room and waited for Edward to come back. She was thinking about a lot of things. She thought that Edward would definitely question her about Anna tonight. She always thought that Anna was a thorn in his heart, but at such a good time tonight, he didn't ask about Anna. Instead, he asked about her things.
[I like you. I've been watching you that night.]
The implied meaning of this sentence was really confusing. Nelissa didn't know whether she had misunderstood it or she had thought too much, but she felt that something was wrong. She didn't think too much.
"I like her first, but I like her later." This sentence was understood one by one. Could she boldly assume that Edward had liked her for a long time, and he had always known her. But why?
Nelissa kept turning the remote control platform and couldn't watch TV. From time to time, she would look at the door of the house and wait for Edward to come back. Her heart was full of this man, and she couldn't calm down and think about anything.
It was like being lured by him, the best bait.
