Chapter 196
On the first night of their wedding, Edward drove home at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. There was no wife to throw herself into his arms, nor was there no one else.
He closed the door, changed his shoes, went straight to the first bedroom on the left side of the building, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When they came out, it was exactly 12 o'clock in the morning.
Edward pulled his wet hair and went downstairs. He wore a black robe belt with one hand and went to the kitchen to get some water. After drinking it with Nelissa, he was used to drinking hot water. Eliza had prepared some water for the kettle. He poured a cup of it and felt a little hungry. There was something to eat in the refrigerator, but he needed to heat it in a dare.
Edward was too lazy to do that. After drinking the water, he put the glass cup in the groove and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, he stepped on the carpet with bare feet and opened the window. Standing in front of him, he lit a cigarette. Through the faint smoke, he narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully looked into the distance. In the dark night, there were still scattered lights on, but most of them were black. He stubbornly believed that there must be a lamp that was warm.
He picked up the phone on the desk and typed in a text message: "Have you fallen asleep?"
Nelissa was leaning against the bed, tidying up her things. The light in the room was on. When she heard the ringing of her mobile phone, she saw the text message from Edward. She couldn't help smiling and replied to him with her mobile phone in her arms.
I was going to sleep, but you asked Andrew to send me a few real estate certificates. I have to tidy up and hide. You know that the public security here is not good. What if you rob the robbers? I won't hide well. I can't sleep tonight. Edward replied, "Didn't your girlfriend think that I didn't care about you and didn't give you a betrothal gift? I've handed over the procedures for the house to the lawyer. Just wait."
Nelissa blinked and replied with a few questions? How did he know about the conversation between Jolene and her tonight?
Edward explained that Noelle had called him Nathan ago. He told them to turn on the speaker outside the door and listen to how you introduced me. He happened to hear Jolene's dissatisfaction with him. Nelissa quickly asked, "How much did you hear?"
When she and Jolene reached the end of their conversation, their feelings had changed. They even started talking about their relationship five years ago. Nelissa was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. Women were only suitable for talking to women. If men knew about it, they would feel a little ashamed. Edward replied, "Not much, just a few sentences. I have a lot of things to do in the company, so I'm free."
Nelissa heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she hadn't finished listening to the end. The two little traitors, Noelle, hadn't told her about it for Nathan. She sent a message to comfort Edward: Jolene is like this. She has no malicious intentions. I'm getting married to you not because I covet your houses. I'm willing to marry you if there's anything I can do for you. I know you're very good to me.
Edward replied, "Yes."
Nelissa couldn't see his happy face and thought that he was unhappy. She wondered if she should call him to show her kindness and coax him not to be angry. Where was he now? Her own home, or his father's home? "Is it convenient for me to call you?" Nelissa asked.
Not long after, Edward's phone rang. Nelissa was stunned and answered the phone. His voice was very low and deep. "When I'm not inconvenient to you, you can come to me at any time. I'm your husband. Do you understand?" "I thought it would be inconvenient for you to stay at your father's house," answered Nelissa softly, her fingers rolling up her long hair.
"I'm back. You don't have to worry about these things." After Edward finished smoking, his voice was low and soft. He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and glanced at the clock. "Are you going to sleep?"
Nelissa's heart skipped a beat. She felt that the man's voice was too sexy and disgusting. She suddenly wanted to be held in his arms and listen to him speak. She should have let him come over tonight.
She said gloomily, "I'm going to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow. You should go to bed early." Then, she added in a low voice, "Good night, husband."
Edward's lips curled into a smile. All of a sudden, the fatigue on him relaxed. He thought to himself that a married man was indeed different from a man without a wife. Moreover, this young wife was a woman that Edward had been spying on for a long time. His sense of accomplishment was self-evident.
Thinking that Nelissa finally belonged to him, Edward had a strong feeling that kept expanding, from his body to his scalp.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Well, be a good girl. Go to sleep."
The call ended.
Nelissa lay down on her own bed, turned off the light and got into the quilt. It was already very late. Usually, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. But tonight, she was in high spirits and couldn't fall asleep on the bed. She knew that her mood was very high and excited, and she secretly scolded herself for being useless. It was just that she got married to Edward. It was not romantic at all, but she liked it very much.
She curled up with a pillow in her arms, thinking about Edward, like a woman in love...

Edward sat beside the big bed and waited for his hair to dry up. He was about to go to bed when someone called him in the middle of the night in the early morning-it was Charles, a collaboration man in Bekki.
He picked up the phone and chatted with Charles.
The phone call was not short. Edward had signed a contract with Charles on a business trip to Bekki. Now, the project had been completed. Although the upper management of the branch had been arranged in Bekki to follow up, the most important things still needed to be directly contacted Edward to discuss with him.
After talking for an hour and discussing official business, Charles began to chat about private matters.
Charles said, "I'll come to Haleston City tomorrow to have a meal together?"
Edward didn't refuse. As a businessman, business was more important. Charles was a valuable partner. He smiled and said, "If you come, I will do my best to be a host. Are you on a business trip this time?"
Charles also smiled. "A business trip is just an additional schedule. I'm mainly here to watch over my grandfather. He went to Haleston City two days ago and received an operation from his disciple. He's not young anymore, so I have to keep an eye on him in case he gets too tired."
Charles's grandfather was a well-known medical expert and professor in Bekki. He had many students. Charles's family was also a famous family in Bekki. His grandfather was a medical family in his generation. When he came to his father's generation, he developed into a businessman. Now he had two cousins in his generation.
After Edward and Charles finished talking on the phone, they lay on the bed and fell asleep in a few seconds. However, they woke up in the morning before dawn. The empty bed was cold in other places, and his skin was hot. The curtains of the bedroom covered the sky outside, and only the clock was moving. It was exactly six o'clock.
Edward raised his eyebrows slightly and got out of bed. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and cool down. The sound of running water and the dim sky seemed to be laughing at him. A married man was in such a hurry that he had a dream at night.
The woman in his dream was none other than his new wife.
Edward washed his head with his hands and stroked the black hair in front of his forehead with his slender fingers. He couldn't help thinking that if Nelissa was here, he would use her hands to put out the fire.
She had to. She was already his wife. She didn't even give him a taste of meat on her wedding night. She couldn't stand it.
He put on a pair of trousers, washed his face, and brushed his teeth. Then he went out, opened the wardrobe, changed into a business suit, took the car key, and went out.
When he was driving on the road, there were no pedestrians on the quiet street except for the cleaner who was sweeping the street. There were few cars on the road, so he had a comfortable view. Edward was very fresh, so he rarely drove out so early. Usually, if there was a car, it would be driven by the driver or Andrew. He would sleep in the back.
Today was different. He was in good spirits.
He called Eliza with his mobile phone. When she answered the phone, he asked her, "Which breakfast restaurants near my house are delicious?"
Eliza didn't expect Edward to call her so early. Although she didn't know what was going on, she still told him in detail. After leaving the villa community, she went straight to the right side of the first intersection. There were many breakfast shops, good fried buns and boiled wheat, as well as various kinds of porridge. There were all kinds of sweet dishes such as soy milk and fried dough sticks. The environment was also clean and it was opened by locals.
Edward remembered them one by one and said to Eliza, "You don't have to come over this morning to make breakfast for me."
Eliza understood. "Okay, Young Mr. Hales." This meant that she could arrange the time freely. It was not too late to come back to work at noon or later.
Edward went to the place mentioned by Eliza and got out of the car to buy a lot of breakfast. Next to it was a western-style house with the sign of a cheese egg. Edward paused for a few seconds, pushed the door open and went in. He bought a handful of newly-made cheese egg. After paying the bill, he left and got on the car with things.
There were few cars on the road in the morning. The road was smooth and not blocked.
Edward drove for 20 minutes to Nelissa's apartment.
He went up with the things, opened the door, and entered the house in one go. The small apartment was cleaned up, and the sun shone in from the balcony. The half old furniture was particularly warm. He put down the things, raised his wrist to look at the watch. It was just after seven o'clock, and it was still early. Nelissa had not gotten up yet.
He went into Nelissa's room. She was still sleeping. Her petite body was wrapped in the quilt, and only a palm-sized face could be seen. The sun outside the window shone on her face, which was white and tender, with a little healthy redness, and very pure.
Edward didn't know that he came to see his wife early in the morning, so he didn't have any other thoughts. Now seeing Nelissa on the bed, he knew that he had his own ideas.
He approached her and sat at the edge of her bed. He pressed down on the blanket covering her face and caressed her face. His warm fingers slid across her skin inch by inch and neared her ear. He tucked her long hair behind her ear and played with it playfully.
Nelissa felt itchy, so she turned over and continued to sleep. The quilt on her body slowly slipped down, and she felt a little cold. Her white fingers were tugging at a corner, but she found that she couldn't pull it. She was pressed down by some strong force. She was so scared that she woke up and jumped up. "Who..."
In a room full of light, the man's face was as handsome as ever. He raised his eyebrows at the dazed Nelissa and said with a smile, "Did you sleep like a fool?"
