Chapter 87
“Penelope is on top. You should come along too.” Edward’s magnetic voice was a little domineering and cold.
This Cantonese Restaurant was opened by Jason with an amateur source of money. A few days ago, he invited Edward to come out to have fun, so that he could invite Edward to come and support him.
Han Penelope also came today, so Edward had to give up the idea of coming with Nelissa. As a result, she appeared in front of him intimately with another man!
Nelissa didn’t dare to look at Edward. She only felt that it was a sharp thorn in her arm. She wanted to say that she would go with Edward to see Penelope.
Jordan first said, “Young Mr. Hales, Nelissa and I are old classmates. We have some personal matters to talk to Nelissa alone. When we’re done here, we’ll go look for Han Penelope.” After that, Jordan looked at Nelissa as if to remind her, “I was the one who asked you out first.”
Nelissa thought of the movie ticket. “Okay.”
She looked down, and Edward’s eyes almost swallowed her alive!Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Just then, Edward’s cell phone rang. Jason called to ask if he had arrived.
“We’re here.” Edward replied indifferently. He held his phone and slowly glanced at Nelissa and Jordan. He pursed his thin lips and said, “I’ll wait for you.”
Edward left first, but Nelissa and Jordan were in the same direction as him, so the three of them took the same elevator. The atmosphere was a little subtle. In addition, Edward had a strong aura, so there was a sense of oppression in the silence.
Nelissa breathed in the thin air, feeling that she had to admire herself to be able to keep her heart beating.
She and Jordan were on the second floor, and Edward was on the third floor. They went out of the elevator first.
Until the elevator door closed, Edward was staring at Nelissa’s and Jordan’s retreating backs. He frowned and clenched his fist, slamming it against the elevator wall. The surface of the steel surface had a dent!
Edward was very angry, and the anger burned his reason!
Jordan booked a private room and Nelissa followed him in.
He took the initiative to pull out a chair for Nelissa. On the contrary, Nelissa was not used to his gentlemanly side.
“Are you familiar with Edward?” Jordan sat down and asked Nelissa with a smile.
Looking at his smile, Nelissa felt a little uneasy. She wasn’t sure if Jordan had seen anything, so she replied, “Penelope is his niece. I’m familiar with her.”
This was indeed the case. She and Penelope had known each other for a much longer time than Edward.
Jordan nodded and changed his mind. He didn’t know if Nelissa was interested in Edward, but he could tell that she was interested in him.
“Have you had a date recently?” Jordan looked at Nelissa and asked.
Nelissa thought about it carefully. Could Edward be her target? No. She didn’t have anyone else to talk about. As for the man who pursued her, could he be counted as one?
The phone in her bag rang, interrupting Nelissa’s thoughts.
She took out her mobile phone and saw a name flashing on the five-inch screen that made her heart beat faster: Edward.
“I’m going out to answer a call.” It was not convenient for Nelissa to answer Edward’s phone in front of Jordan.
“Boyfriend?” Jordan asked her with a smile. At this moment, the waiter came in with two menu.
“No.” Nelissa blinked her eyes in denial. Jordan and Penelope knew each other. He had to tell Penelope about this. Penelope would definitely come to ask her. There was no need to lie.
“Then you can pick it up here. I won’t eavesdrop on you.” Jordan took a menu from the waiter, opened it, lowered his head and watched attentively. He ordered the dishes one by one, pretending that he didn’t disturb Nelissa.
Nelissa grabbed her hot cell phone, and its ringtone kept ringing. If Jordan said so, it would make her seem petty if she went out to answer the phone again. But she couldn’t answer Edward’s phone. If she didn’t answer it, she was afraid that Edward would come straight to catch her. This man was used to being arrogant, so she didn’t think he would be afraid of Jordan.
Nelissa bit her lip and picked up the phone. “Hello.”
“You haven’t finished yet?” Edward’s deep voice came out unhappily.
“No,” Nelissa replied nervously.
Edward was so angry that he laughed. He lit a cigarette in the smoking area on the third floor and said word by word, “Why are you so careful? Jordan is next to you? What does he want to talk to you about? Ask you if you are a good man, and then take the opportunity to confess your love for you? Nelissa, do you think I don’t exist? You just had a good time with me in the morning, and you dated another man at noon. I told you that Jordan is interested in you. It seems that you have heard it and want to get rid of me and accept him, right?”
“No, no.” Nelissa picked up a glass of water and drank it, her voice extremely natural.
“I’ll give you 10 minutes. If you don’t come up, I’ll come down and find you. I’m not in a good temper, so try to accept Jordan’s guts to make me a cuckold. I’ll always have a way to deal with you. Aren’t the two kids in your family very precious?” Edward hung up the phone after he put out his cigarette. He was very angry. The backs of Nelissa and Jordan had deeply stimulated his possessiveness!
Nelissa was frightened and felt very wronged. She had never cuckolded him…
Jordan ordered the dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter, asking him to do so. He had been listening to Nelissa talking on the phone just now. He didn’t think she was his boyfriend, but he didn’t know who she was.
He said, “I heard from a client in your company that you have a boyfriend in another country. I thought it was true.”
Nelissa shook her head and put down the glass. “It’s fake. It’s nonsense. I don’t have a boyfriend.”
Jordan’s heart was filled with joy. If Nelissa didn’t have a boyfriend, then he had a lot of hope. His physical appearance, education, and family background were much better than those of his age. “Have you received the flowers I gave you this morning?”
Nelissa nodded. It was indeed a flower sent by Jordan. She was right. “Can I say that you’re pursuing me?”
“Yes, I’m just pursuing you.” Jordan readily admitted that he had always liked Nelissa. He had once been shoulder to shoulder with Nelissa and his love. He did not want to miss the second time. “Have you taken the movie tickets in the flowers? On Friday night, I wanted to ask you to watch a movie together. Five years ago, I actually wanted to tell you about this. Unfortunately, you disappeared and I was abroad too. I didn’t have time to say anything.”
“Where did you go five years ago? What happened?”
“I couldn’t go back to school because I was already a mother of two children. Are you sure you want to pursue me? Your parents won’t accept you being with me. Jordan, we can’t do it anymore,” Nelissa said slowly.
A young secret love who didn’t bloom could miss a second or two, let alone five years.
She had been bullied badly by the little bully when she was young, but she didn’t forget that her stomach hurt when she was running during her PE classes. Jordan was the first to rush out and carry her to the school. He was bullied by his senior and Jordan was also the one who helped her. Not all of them were bad memories, but there were also some good memories.
The young and tender seedling had stopped growing before it could move.
Obviously, Jordan could not accept this. He clenched his fists tightly. “You have two children? Really? Who is that man?”
Nelissa remained silent. Jordan was the first to think of Zayden!
He kept gasping for breath and asked, “I just said that you were pregnant at the age of 18. I want to ask you, did your parents not care about you? Do you agree to let you quit school and give birth to your child?”
Nelissa frowned slightly and said, “My parents are gone. You can ask Penelope if you don’t believe me. She saw my two children. I didn’t lie to you.”
Looking at Nelissa’s eyes, Jordan panicked for a moment and picked up the cup beside his hand to pour himself a glass of water. He was still unable to digest this matter.
He stood up and said, “Sin, I need to calm down. I’m leaving now.”
Jordan opened the door of the private room. A waiter happened to knock on the door with western food. He turned around and left.
“Miss, do you need these things?” The waiter had seen too many things like this. The couple quarreled, and the person who served the dishes left.
“Go back to the kitchen. No more.” Nelissa believed that Jordan would be alone when he left. She couldn’t afford to spend such a high-class place now.
She didn’t blame Jordan for running away. He and she were only 23 years old. He was so young and had enough capital to play in this colorful world. He couldn’t afford to accept a woman who already had two children, and she didn’t intend to start with him. She wanted to make it clear to him that they wouldn’t waste each other’s time. She would take it as a movie ticket for him.
He left the private room.
Nelissa quickly took the elevator to the third floor. She was really afraid that Edward would mess around, so how could she dare to be tough with him?
She called Penelope in the elevator and asked her which private room she was in. “Yes, I saw your uncle in the parking lot with Jordan. She said you were also there, so she asked me to come with you.”
“…” Han Penelope was chattering. Obviously, there were a lot of people in the private room.
“Oh, the No. 3 private room, I got it.” Nelissa was distracted and thought. She didn’t know if Sophie was there. If she were there, it would be fun.
If she didn’t die of embarrassment, it was estimated that Sophie would also feel uncomfortable with her.
After hanging up the phone, they arrived at the third floor. Nelissa went to the door of the No. 3 private room and opened it. There were indeed a lot of people inside. Sitting at a large table full of more than a dozen people, Nelissa saw the most elegant handsome man at a glance and looked at Edward from a distance.
Luckily, he didn’t see Sophie.
Han Penelope turned around. Nelissa looked away from Edward and called out to her, “Nelissa, come sit with me!”
“Okay.” Nelissa walked over and sat down beside Penelope. They were a few meters away from each other, so their eyes met. Nelissa didn’t dare to look at him. She pretended not to know him and felt guilty. After all, Penelope was beside her, talking and laughing with her. She was too crazy with him.
“Drink or drink?” Han Penelope asked Nelissa.
“I can drink drinks or water. I don’t want to drink.” Nelissa had to go back to work later. She couldn’t hold on to the alcohol in the afternoon.
Penelope brought a bunch of fruit juice to Nelissa and poured it into her cup. She asked curiously, “Did you meet Jordan?”
“Yes.” Nelissa nodded and stole a glance at Edward. He lowered his eyes slightly and did not look at her. His thin lips were pressed together.
