Chapter 71
Edward was smoking in the study, one after another, until the flame burned out, until his desire had subsided.
Nelissa was on his bed. This was an irresistible temptation. He had already visited her so many times last night, but now he still wanted her. This impulse burned the fire in his heart.
Separated by the green smoke, Edward’s beautiful outline was blurred. It seemed that she was fascinated by him.
He picked up his phone to check the caller ID. He had only glanced at Nelissa in a hurry earlier. Indeed, other than Nelissa’s number, there was also a missed call from Sophie.
Today, she had only called him once. Was she guilty?
Dispelning the call record of Sophie, Edward put down her phone and opened the password lock of the left drawer. Inside was an antique antique box with two photos of Nelissa. Edward only had two.
One was copied from her niece Penelope by Edward, and the other was from Nelissa’s photo album.
When she was 15 or 16 years old, Nelissa looked lively and lovely. When she came back from abroad, she became quiet and shy. Her slightly raised eyes were red, as if she would cry at any time. On the contrary, she looked more feminine.
Edward had asked someone to check on Class One, which once belonged to Class One in high school. There was indeed a school record for Nelissa. The head teacher of her class was still teaching in Class One, so he had a good impression of Nelissa.
Her grades were excellent, so she was the class monitor. She had won quite a few prizes when she played the piano. At that time, several famous university universities had already recognized her. When she was in her third year of high school, she was not allowed to enter the university.
Later, no one knew why the family insisted that she was transferred to another school. Nelissa’s guardian was Zayden at that time, and Zayden personally handled the formalities.
The head teacher’s impression of Nelissa was that she was the child bride of this man. It did not matter whether she studied well or not. Anyway, she would get married after graduating from high school.
Child-in-law?
Edward pinched out her cigarette butt forcefully and caressed the picture of Nelissa with his slender fingers. She was a pampered, fair-skinned girl. Her pure beauty had been given to Zayden, but that man did not know how to cherish her and had allowed her to live alone outside for five years!
When the smoke had cleared, the redness in Edward’s eyes was exposed and became even more apparent. She stared closely at the picture of Nelissa when she was young, and the corners of her eyes swelled with pain. She was so unwilling!
If it was him, if it was the man beside Nelissa at the beginning, then it would be him!
After a long, long time.
Edward locked Nelissa’s photo again, stood up and left the study.
He had tried to investigate Nelissa’s many things, but there was always someone stopping him. This person was very likely to be Zayden, and there was someone else.
It was easy for a person to deliberately hide his trace, just like how it was difficult for him to find her after missing for five years. The world was too big and small, unless he came back to Haleston City!
Back to the bedroom.
Edward looked at the woman who had occupied his pillow and blanket only left him with a bed frame. Her thin lips lifted slightly and he climbed onto the bed. His slender fingers held up a strand of her long black hair. It felt very good, and her hair was very soft. It had never been touched.
She fell asleep, but she did not respond to his hug. He turned her body, which was curled up at the side of the bed, and slightly pulled the quilt off her body. He climbed into her arms and hugged her waist, with his fingers tightly clasped with her fingers.
She seemed to be awakened by him and nestled in front of his chest.
“Go to sleep.” Edward caressed Nelissa gently. Her body was as soft as if it was boneless, and only he knew how soft she was under his bed.
The next morning.
When Nelissa woke up in bed, Edward was already gone. She reached out and touched the side of the bed. The bedding was slightly cold, and there was no warmth from his body. There was a note left by him on the bedside. She was supposed to wait for Eliza to go to work and leave after breakfast. There was a driver who would send her back.
If he wasn’t here, where was he?
Nelissa blinked her eyes. The handwriting of the man on the slip of paper was vigorous and sharp. It was very good-looking, and it suited his character very well.
This was the second time she had seen Edward’s handwriting. The first time was when he had written down his contact number on the 100 yuan note, asking her to find him… Nelissa blushed when she thought about this.
At the same time, in the villa.
The Bambi found a famous doctor for her daughter, Sophie. She had been drinking medicine for some time. This morning, she asked the doctor to take Sophie’s pulse and see if it worked.
There was something wrong with the body of Sophie. She was born with the disease of pregnancy and had many famous doctors to treat her. Ryan didn’t like his eldest daughter and loved his youngest daughter, Sean, who was his only son.
After the doctor checked the pulse for her, the Bambi went out to talk with him. There were servants in the room and it was not convenient to talk about this. The Bambi was afraid that outsiders would know that her daughter could not give birth to a child.
After the chat, she returned to her mother’s room. Although her expression was restrained, it was still not good to look at. She was angry and said that the famous doctors were all useless waste!
The Bambi sent the servants away in the room in a low voice, “Send the doctor away first.”
She got off the bed and put on a beautiful shawl. There was no one else in the room as she said coldly, “Mother, what quacks are you looking for! They’re all useless. If Father finds out that I still can’t cure you this time, he’ll have to flare up and look for Anna again!”
The Bambi was not in a hurry. The man beside the pillow had been thinking about his little daughter, Anna!
“If others can cure it, it will not work on you!” The Bambi opened the door and went out, going downstairs with her to have breakfast. “You continue to drink Chinese medicine to recuperate your health first. When Alex returns to China, I will ask him to treat you.”
Sophie frowned. Alex was also part of their social circle before he left the country. They had met a few times.
The story of him eloping with women was very big in the circle. She was worried that the news of her pregnancy would spread. “He is not an expert in this field. Is it useful to let him see?”
The Bambi scolded her daughter, “What do you know? He has established the study of medicine in the United States. He is the youngest authoritative expert and has excellent medical skills. Maybe he can see that there is something wrong with your body!”
As she spoke, her mother lowered her voice and said to her, “If your stomach doesn’t heal, can Edward’s heart go to your place from home?”
It was impossible for the Hales family to abandon the heir of incense.
Sophie knew this well. That was why she had taken the risk and found a woman with good genes to give birth to a son for Edward!
She had to be a son. If it was a daughter, she would be beaten off. She would not take advantage of a daughter!
In the dining area downstairs, there were 18 dishes with vegetables and meat on the table, which was very rich.
Ryan went out to work early in the morning, leaving only his mother and Sophie to eat.
The people in the kitchen brought out a bowl of black medicine and placed it in front of her.
Miss Pan’s daughter drank a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine every morning. No one knew what the effect was. It was said that it was health preservation. Rich people cherished their lives and started to keep health preservation at a young age.
After taking a few bites, the Bambi put down her chopsticks and stopped eating. She was shape-making. She wiped her mouth elegantly, went upstairs, changed her clothes, and left. She asked a few noble ladies to go to the jewelry store to see jewelry. Today, there were a few new sets of jewelry that could be selected.
In the car, the Bambi saw Edward driving over. She frowned and did not ask the driver to stop the car. The two luxury cars drove across without greeting each other.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward had been to the Bailey family many times. He had had a good time with Anna and Sean, and it was known to all of Haleston City. However, her attitude towards him was too rude. She never took the initiative to greet him, and she looked down on him.
It just happened that he was Donald’s son, who had become more and more powerful after taking over the Hales Group. He had the ability to ignore her!
Edward parked the car and arrived at Bailey family. The servants opened the door for him. He had forgotten where to throw the keys to his home.
After drinking the bitter herbs, when she saw Edward coming, she was delighted. “Edward, why are you here?” She got up and held his hand intimately like a lover. “Have you eaten breakfast? Try to see if my cook suits you.”
After that, she ordered the people in the kitchen to prepare an extra bowl and chopsticks as well as dishes.
“There is no need. You can eat it.” Edward pushed the bowl, chopsticks, and the water cup into the distance. Sophie was startled when she saw this. Her expression was immediately ugly.
“How many doctors did you see?” Edward asked as she looked at the medicine that she was drinking.
Sophie was shocked. Edward rarely took the initiative to care about how the situation in her belly was. She did not dare to tell the truth. “It’s just some Chinese medicine for health preservation. Women’s bodies are very noble. We have to nourish them.”
Edward’s lips curled up and she fiddled with the knife and fork on her napkin. Sophie looked especially envious. She longed so much for Edward’s hand to touch her face, body and chest.
She knew that the man’s hands were very powerful, slender, reserved and noble. He elegantly took a suit from West and his figure was strong. She used to see him playing basketball when she was in school. He was strong with a man’s wildness. No handsome man could compare with Edward’s sexy side with hot sweat.
Edward opened her thin lips and suddenly said, “I went on a business trip to find Anna a few days ago. Aren’t you worried about whether I have found your sister?”
The expression on the face of the girl was not good. She was naturally able to hear it. “When you find Anna, you’ll definitely inform my father immediately. Do you still want to hide her?”
This was also what she was worried about. If Edward found Anna and hid him, the two would secretly reveal themselves after getting married, then she would have no chance!
It was better to make her stomach better first. It would be best if Edward and Nelissa won the bid. It would be better to have an illegitimate child who was not born to bind him.
“Stay with me today and don’t go, okay?” After drinking the bitter Chinese medicine and eating a piece of candied fruit, she leaned to one side and leaned against Edward’s tall figure.
Edward frowned and said in an unusually cold voice, “I don’t want to see what happened at the hotel the day before yesterday happen again. I don’t like to be set up by others.”
Sophie’s body stiffened. She was still afraid that Edward would pursue the matter. She said huffily, “Edward, don’t misunderstand. I am doing this for our future.”
