Pampered Like A Princess

Edward said with a faint smile, “I like her, and she deserves it. Her family background can’t be compared with the Bailey family’s. She’s just a woman from an ordinary family. She’s 23 years old, 11 years younger than me. She works in a middle-sized company. She’s very hardworking, and I like her personality and appearance very much. She won’t bring any benefit to our family, but so what? I don’t rely on women.”

“You’re making me angry!” Mikaelson suddenly growled. He clutched his cane and knocked hard on the ground. “I won’t stop you if you like anyone. As long as you can tell the nature of the other party, it’s up to you. But marriage is a big deal. How can you let me go like this? If you don’t find someone suitable for you, at least find a lady from a rich family. Why did you choose such a small girl? And how can you get along with her in the future?”

“A marriage is the way for men and women of the same standard to get along. You are from different places and have different experiences. There is still a age gap between you. How can you get along well with each other?” Mikaelson said. He found that his son, Donald, was involved in this. He shook his head with his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply. “Your father did something wrong. He didn’t intend to marry Norah in the past, but Norah lost his child and wanted to live. He was soft-hearted and not firm-minded, so he agreed to marry her.”

After all, he was her son. Mikaelson was still partial to her.

Edward lowered his eyes for a long time, and there was a faint shadow of eyelashes in his eyes. He looked up and said, “If my mother was still here, she would definitely agree to my choice.”

Mikaelson was silent. After her sister-in-law passed away, Edward rarely mentioned her again. When this incident happened that year, Edward was already over 20 years old. He was an adult. It was impossible for an outsider to replace him with his mother’s family affection. When Norah entered the house, he stopped her and said that he would never accept Norah for the rest of his life.

Mikaelson knew that he had let Edward and his brother down, so he was even more embarrassed.

After a while, Edward looked elsewhere and said, “You haven’t known her yet. How do you know that we can’t live in harmony with each other? Young girls are very smart now. She’s only 23 years old. How can she get along with us? You’re a fool. You taught her.”

Mikaelson didn’t know whether he was angry or laughing. “Boy, I’ve taught you how to listen to your elders. Why don’t you learn from me? You’ve been spoiled by your family since you were a child. No one dares to disobey you whatever you say. When you were a child, your brother protected you. Now you can do whatever you want. You’re just too comfortable. You should put an end to this matter.”

Edward thought that he couldn’t get rid of it. He and Nelissa had gotten their marriage certificate.

“Ask her out to meet me another day.” Mikaelson didn’t say whether he would accept it or not. He would talk about it when he saw her. There was still room for negotiation.

Edward was thinking the same thing. “Okay, but don’t give her a cold face then.”

Mikaelson was angry and somewhat amused. His grandson, who never pitied women, also loved women. “How did I teach you when you were a child? Men can’t bully women. I didn’t teach your father well, and even you didn’t teach him well.”

Just then, someone knocked on the door. “Knock knock.” Han Penelope’s voice came in. “It’s me.”

Edward raised his eyebrows and went to open the door. Han Penelope came in with a cup of ginseng tea. Seeing that Mikaelson’s expression was not good, she grabbed the dragon head cane and was very angry. She didn’t know what her uncle had said to her great-grandfather to make her so angry. She held the cup of tea and said, “Great-grandfather, have a cup of ginseng tea to calm down.”

Mikaelson took the cup and suddenly asked with a smile, “Do you know that I need to put down the fire again?”

Penelope lowered her head and stared at her toes. Knowing that she had been exposed, her uncle told her to bring the tea 15 minutes later. He must have taken the time to say something and asked her to come up to put out the fire.

Mikaelson pointed at her and said to Edward, “You two, one is a wolf, and the other is a wolf. You are in cahoots.” He opened the window and took a sip of ginseng tea. He was not so angry. He was old, and he would be out of breath if he was a little stingy. He leaned against the chair and looked at the dark night outside the window. He asked his grandson, “Do you live here tonight?”

Edward shook his head. “I’m not used to living here.”

Mikaelson suddenly felt sad. This used to be Edward’s home, but now he couldn’t even get used to living in it. How could the kinship be restored? He waved his hand and sighed. “Let’s go. It’s late now. You need an hour to drive back. Don’t be too tired. Go back and rest.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Edward nodded and said goodbye. He gave his niece Han Penelope a look and told her to coax the elderly.

Naturally, Han Penelope would do as she was told. Her great-grandfather doted on her.

Out of the room, Edward stopped for a moment, turned around, and walked to his previous bedroom. He opened the door and went in. The room was clean and tidy, and the servants cleaned it every day.

Next to the bed and on the desk, there was a photo of Edward. He was a young man in his twenties. He was handsome and eye-catching.

Edward found a photo album in a cabinet in the bedroom based on his impression. He opened it and his thin lips curled up into a smile.

He didn’t even need to examine his DNA. He looked like a child in the past Nathan. No wonder Nelissa asked him if he had seen his childhood photos. He didn’t really look at them. Except for his different hairstyle, his Nathan eyebrows looked like Nelissa’s. He was really like a god.

Edward looked at it quietly for a while and planned to take the album away.

Someone came in from the door. Han Penelope had just coaxed Mikaelson when she saw the door of Edward’s bedroom open. She walked over and saw who it was. “Uncle, you haven’t left yet?”

Edward put the album on the desk, put his beautiful hands on it, and asked, “Is grandpa asleep?”

Penelope nodded and glanced at him curiously. “I’m asleep. I just took the medicine and I’m lying down. What are you doing here?”

Edward didn’t answer her. He took out his phone and said, “Well done. You’ve done a lot of things today. I’ll give you a reward.”

Then, Han Penelope’s cell phone rang. She took it out and checked it. Edward transferred a pocket money to her on WeChat, and the amount was quite considerable.

“Uncle, you’re generous. You don’t know how petty my father is. A few days ago, I got drunk and went home, so he deducted my credit card. He has a friend who is celebrating his birthday. I just want to drink more with her.” Penelope clicked on her mobile phone to withdraw cash, and soon received a text message to remind her that there was a sum of money in her bank card. “Uncle, if you want me to do something in the future, I promise that I will do it for you with more than two hundred percent serious. I will never be perfunctory.”

Edward raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?”

Penelope made a firm promise. “I’m sure.”

Edward crossed his arms and leaned against the edge of the desk. His handsome face was stern as he said, “Send Nelissa a text message now.”

Penelope was speechless.

Holding the phone in her hand, she suddenly became like a hot potato and did not know what to do.

Edward calmly asked her, “Why didn’t you come back when Nelissa texted you? What’s your mind like?”

Han Penelope didn’t dare to say anything. She argued, “I just didn’t see it.”

Edward stretched out his long hand and quickly took away Han Penelope’s phone. He clicked his slender fingers a few times, curved his thin lips and said, “I’ve read the text message. Can you tell me that you haven’t seen it?”

Han Penelope was most afraid that Edward would meddle in her affairs. She couldn’t even lie to him. She muttered in a low voice, “I don’t know what to say to her.”

Edward frowned and lectured her, “If you don’t tell her what you’re thinking, how would others know what you’re thinking? I sent you a text message, but you just ignored it. Do you want to never contact her again, or do you mean it? Even if you want to hide, it’s her who is hiding from you. What are you hiding from her for? Do you know that you’ll make her cry?”

This time, Penelope also knew that she was hiding for no reason. “She’s crying? I didn’t expect that…”

Edward paused for a few seconds and then said in a low voice, “Tell me your dissatisfaction and I’ll enlighten you. Nelissa and I won’t be separated. You don’t have to think about anything else. She’s with me. What’s so hard for you to accept?”

Penelope lowered her head and stared at her feet. She muttered, “She’s my classmate and you’re my uncle. I… I can’t recover from the change of you two being together.”

Edward shook his head. He had always been nice to her, but he only had one daughter. She needed to make progress. “She’s your classmate, and you’re not her mother. Who else do you care about who she likes and who she’s with? In other words, you’re not satisfied with me. Do you think it’s not good for her to be with me?”

Penelope quickly denied, “No, absolutely not.”

Edward nodded with satisfaction. “What’s the reason?”

Penelope hesitated and said, “I need some time to relieve.”

“Okay, I’ll give you time.” Edward picked up the album and walked out, saying, “Don’t think about anything else. Just do what you should do. Nelissa sent you a text message, and you can reply to her and whatever you want. It’s not a heinous crime. You shouldn’t have any psychological obstacles.” He raised his hand and looked at his wristwatch. “I’m leaving. You don’t have to send me off.”

At ten o’clock in the evening, Edward drove back. He was busy from morning to night, and he would be busier in the future in order to let Nelissa be his wife as soon as possible.

When Han Penelope climbed onto the bed and lay down, she suddenly remembered that Edward’er had not told her what she had taken away. It was she who had asked him what he was doing first, but he had gone somewhere else and even taught her a lesson. He was too cunning!

Han Penelope couldn’t figure out how Nelissa managed to subdue Edward. How could Nelissa be a match for such a powerful and scheming man?

She felt a little sympathy for him.

After thinking for a while, she picked up her phone and replied to Nelissa: Well, my little uncle has told me that I need time to sort out my thoughts before I come back to you.

Nelissa quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
