Chapter 68
Nelissa returned to her rented apartment. Seven days of July had already finished breakfast and she was drinking milk powder. Her daughter came over and arranged a pair of slippers for her. She asked, "Nelissa, have you eaten breakfast?" "I've eaten." Nelissa took off a high-heeled shoe and placed it in the shoe cabinet. She looked very gentlemanly. She looked at the living room and asked, "Where's your godmother?"
Nathan ago, she said coolly, "We're washing dishes in the kitchen. Hurry up and help."
When Nelissa heard her son's tone, she knew Jolene was angry. She had to apologize quickly. She put on her slippers, and her daughter lifted her little butt and touched the ankles. She said crisply, "Mom, the glass on the ankles is so beautiful. Is it a diamond breed?"
What? Nelissa didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she picked up her daughter and kissed her tender little face. "Be good, Noelle. Go drink milk with your younger brother first. Mama will let you touch it later."
After putting Nelissa on the sofa in the living room, Nelissa walked into the kitchen. Jolene was washing bowls. She stood beside him and silently helped him wipe the dishes. They did not speak, only the sound of bowls and porcelain. After doing all this, Jolene threw down his bowl-washing cloth and said angrily, "I thought you wouldn't come back. Anyway, Nathan on the seventh day of the Noelle is so cute. I just need to raise them. The three of us are close. Go away!" Nelissa smiled faintly as she leaned on Jolene. She was a few years younger than him. Sometimes, Jolene looked just like her parents. "No, I didn't give birth to them to compete for my favor."
Jolene said coldly, "I'm not a man. It's useless for you to act like a spoiled child!"
Nelissa sighed in her heart and her eyes became vacant unconsciously. "Just think of it as a ghost. I don't know why it became like this."
Nelissa knew that Jolene's anger was also for her own good. The most difficult part of her life was when she was born in Southville City. The breast milk was gone and she wanted to exchange it for milk powder. During that time, in order to save the money for milk powder, she did not even dare to buy vegetables and meat every day.
Jolene came to her aid. Every night, she would stuff a lot of meat in the refrigerator to ask her to cook. Therefore, she could eat meat with Jolene, so that she would not suffer from malnutrition.
"How can you be possessed? You've been bewitched by Edward!" Jolene's voice was a little louder. Nelissa quickly pulled her out of the balcony and said, not wanting to let Noelle and Nathan hear her.
"Think about how hard it was for you to stay in Southville City. Women are most afraid of finding the wrong man. When you were young, you could be forgiven if you did something wrong. I also made a mistake, so I know what true love is useless! It's just the hormones of men and women. At this time, there was a chemical reaction, so you have a good impression of this man. Do you think this is love? In fact, it's just sex."
Jolene took a breath and looked at Nelissa's thoughtful expression. He asked, "Or will Edward give up the daughter of the Bailey family for you? Will he be the stepmother of the Nathan of the Noelle?"
Nelissa frowned and quickly shook her head. "No." She couldn't even think about it. The child was hers!
Jolene was instantly annoyed. "You even slept with him without him? Do you really think you're an innocent 18-year-old girl?"
"Just... just play around. Anyway, they're all his people," Nelissa said in a softer voice. Jolene couldn't hear her last sentence.
"Tell me clearly, have you ever thought about developing with Edward? If so, we have to make a long-term plan, or you will be the one to suffer in the future, and you will be the one to compensate! But I hope you don't have this idea. You are already the mother of two children. What are you still thinking about with a man? It's not suitable for you to have a girlfriend." After that, Jolene paused.
Edward was such a high-valued high-end man. It was estimated that she was the woman's most desired girlfriend in Haleston City's dream. She was afraid that other women could not even hook up with her with money. Nelissa did not know whether she was lucky or unlucky.
Nelissa blushed and scratched Jolene with her finger. "Can't you be nice? My relationship with Edward isn't like this!"
At most, he was the father of the Nathan of the Noelle. She was hard to be cruel to him. She always felt that she was the one who owed him and stole his seed. Jolene became serious and asked nicely, "Nelissa, are you planning to find a future father for Noelle Nathan?"
Nelissa was at a loss for words. After the Nathan of Noelle and Nathan of drinking milk powder, the two children brought a small pot out of the balcony. It was a little job in kindergarten yesterday, to plant vegetables. They had to take it back on Monday to get the results.
"Mother, help us put it up and bask in the sun." The dragon-phoenix child held the pot high, but he didn't put it high enough.
Nelissa took it and placed it in a position with sufficient sunlight. She looked down at it. The soil sack that was planted had already grown thinly after last night's night's fermentation. It was just like the seeds that she and Edward had planted five years ago. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, they would sprout fruit. Unless they were uprooted, this bad fate would not stop.
Nelissa went back to her room to change her clothes. Under the bright sunshine, the mirror of the dressing table clearly reflected on her white body, and the ambiguous kiss marks left by Edward. There was the most in front of her chest, and he liked to do it there...
She patted her cheeks and quickly put on her nightdress. She was not crazy as last night.
Lying in the bed, Nelissa quickly fell asleep, her whole body weak. She did not know how long she had been awakened by the ringing of her cell phone.
Nelissa opened her hazy eyes and picked up the phone beside the bed. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, Penelope's call.

She picked up the phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Hello, Penelope."
"
"Yeah, I just woke up and my voice was a little hoarse." Nelissa coughed a few times with her pillow on. Her voice was bright and she asked, "What do you want to see me about?"
Penelope said with a smile, "There's a classmate gathering in high school. Are you coming or not? We get together every few months and have mentioned you several times. They don't know you're back in Haleston City. If you appear tonight, they'll be shocked. Do you know where you've been in recent years? You're almost a mysterious person in our class."
Nelissa smiled bitterly. She was afraid of interacting with the people who knew her again. "I won't go, it's a rare break. I want to stay at home with my two children, and I don't want anyone to ask about my past. I don't want to mention it." The more she mentioned, the more things changed. In the end, she did not continue to play the piano, nor did she stay with her first love, Zayden. The three years of high school became the most unforgettable memory of her tears and laughter. She was timid and dared not touch the beautiful past.
Penelope knew how difficult Nelissa's situation was. Her high school classmates were all young masters and daughters with a good family background. Back then, Nelissa was a transfer student. It was said that she was recommended by a foreign school. Their school was exceptional because they had good grades.
Nelissa's home view was ordinary.
"Then I'll keep your return a secret and not tell them." Penelope said on the phone that she was making a suit of armour in the beauty salon, intending to see her old classmate at night. "Okay." Nelissa smiled and chatted with Penelope for half an hour before the call ended.
The relationship between her and Penelope was actually very good. If those things hadn't happened at home and she hadn't left Haleston City, she and Penelope would have definitely lived well.
Penelope invited her several times to the house and said that she wanted to introduce her family to her. She had a shadow in her heart and did not dare to go. Perhaps, if she did not refuse but promised to go at that time, she could see Edward. In that kind of situation, if she knew this man, maybe there would not be so many things later.
He might not like her, nor would he have any desire for her.
The bad relationship was that she didn't know if Edward was Penelope's uncle or a good buddy of Sean. She and he shouldn't have love.
At night.

In the VIP room of Haleston City Hotel.
After Jordan took the college entrance examination, he was sent abroad to study abroad. This was his first time to participate in a classmate gathering after returning to China. He took charge of eating, drinking, playing, karaoke, and playing. He was the little prince of Haleston City Hotel.
Penelope was late and didn't get along well with Jordan. When she learned that she would hold a welcoming dinner for Jordan by the way, she was deliberately late.
Jordan held a glass of red wine and sneered with slanted eyes, "Only you? Doesn't Nelissa come?"
Penelope looked at him. He had become more handsome after five years abroad. His suit was a large foreign brand, and his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his bronze skin. He was muscular, and his face was not crooked, but he was getting more and more handsome. No wonder he was the school hunk at the time. His development potential was very advantages.
Penelope sat down, crossed her legs and said, "Are you stupid? You've been studying English for a long time."
A female student next to him echoed, "Yes, I don't know where she is now. Is it because you used to bully her too much? She may ask her family to transfer her education secretly."
Jordan drank up a glass of wine with a black face, still not feeling good. "I saw Nelissa this morning. She is in Haleston City!"
Penelope was shocked but didn't say anything.
People in the same city might touch Nelissa in the next second. Did Jordan see Nelissa?
A student asked with great enthusiasm, "Have you greeted her? How's she doing? How about tonight's class reunion? Ask her to come over to meet you."
Jordan raised his chin slightly and smiled cynically. "She just accompanied a man to sleep. You can't imagine that Nelissa is being kept by a man. How could she have the nerve to participate in a classmate gathering? Maybe she'll be sold at some night show someday!"
Some of the old classmates present had unbelievable looks on their faces. The Crybaby that was used to cry because of being pulled by a boy's hair became such a lazy plaything and turned into a man's lover?
"Nonsense!" Penelope, who knew the truth, heavily put down the glass and got angry!
Jordan smiled at Penelope and said, "Believe it or not. She left my hotel today, and the man sleeping with her is your uncle, Edward!"
"Bah!" Penelope was a notorious evil girl in Haleston City. "You are slandering me. My uncle and Nelissa are not this kind of people. In high school, everyone knows that Nelissa has a boyfriend outside the school. They are still in touch! They are in good relationship!"
