Chapter 89
Leaving the restaurant’s air conditioner, it was a little stuffy and hot at noon outside. The sun was very bright. Nelissa stood at the door and waited for the delivery. It should be 18 yuan to take a taxi back to the company. She was distressed. 18 yuan should be enough to buy food for Noelle for Nathan.
Ah, Nelissa looked at the bright road with a dull heart. She knew that it was not because of the 18 yuan, but because of what Yvonne said in the bathroom.
A man and a woman spent two days and a night on a luxury cruise ship. Even if they didn’t have feelings for each other, they had physical needs. Which man could take the initiative to push away the romantic encounter around him to be clean? There was basically no such thing.
Yvonne was good-looking and had a good figure. He would not eat meat without paying for it. Nelissa did not expect a man to protect her, especially a rich young master like Edward. After all, they were not husband and wife.
There was no such thing as an external encounter.
Edward came out of the car and saw the warmth of waiting for the car at the door. The afternoon sun was shining brightly on her body. Her already white skin was translucent, faint and delicate, cold and clean.
Edward turned the steering wheel and drove the luxury car over. He stopped in front of Nelissa and lowered the window. “Get in.”
“No, I can go back by myself.” Nelissa glanced at him and shook her head.
Edward frowned and looked at Nelissa, who was walking on her own. She was furious! She had provoked him and made him lose his temper!
The black luxury car followed Nelissa all the way. The horn kept ringing, and the cell phone in Nelissa’s bag was also ringing, disturbing her peace of mind.
“Edward, stop fooling around!” Nelissa had no choice but to stop and look at the man in the car who had no traffic rules!
“Will you get in the car or not?” Edward did not give in. He raised his eyebrows and said, “If you don’t get in the car, I will follow you all the way. I don’t care. If you like to flirt with me on the road, I can accompany you!”
Nelissa was so angry that she was about to cry. She opened the car door and got into Edward’s car. Then she closed the door heavily as if she was venting her anger!
Edward frowned. “Put on the seat belt.”
Nelissa pulled the seat belt and fastened it. She looked out of the window and did not look at him.
Without saying a word, they went back to Nelissa’s company. Edward parked the car in a remote place and put out the fire.
Nelissa unfastened her seat belt and the car door was locked. She turned to look at Edward’s cold profile and said, “Open it.”
Edward took a deep breath and hit the luxurious car logo on the steering wheel with his fist. “Nelissa, what do you want? You’re the one who did something wrong. Why don’t you show me your face now? Don’t you think I’m humble enough to you? Do you think that you can always be arrogant because I like you? You’re no different from those women I’ve seen outside!”
Nelissa tugged at her finger and asked, “What did I do wrong?”
Edward’s handsome face was cold, and he said angrily, “You met Jordan! I told you not to have any contact with him. How could you not see through his feelings for you? Just now in the parking lot, I asked you to go with me, but you refused to listen to me and wanted to go with him. What do you want to meet with him?”
Nelissa sat upright and retorted, “No! He sent a bunch of flowers to my office, and there was a movie ticket inside. I let his pigeon owe him an explanation before. After I explained, he won’t be interested in me anymore.”
Edward said with a faint smile, “You owe me a lot of explanations. Why didn’t you ask me out to explain?”
Nelissa was angry and annoyed. She bit her lips so hard that they were about to bleed. “Didn’t you also accept the invitation? What right do you have to use such a tone to explain to me? Open the door!”
Edward didn’t open the door. Her tall and big body pressed down on Nelissa as she stared into her eyes with a strange gaze. “You’re jealous that I’ve accepted your goodwill? Tell me, are you unhappy?”
Nelissa’s body froze and she didn’t say anything.
Edward handed the boarding ticket to Nelissa and said, “Take a good look at the time. I’ll board this cruise ship at 10 o’clock tomorrow Friday night. If you don’t want me to leave, I’ll ask me to stay. As long as you ask me to stay, I won’t go anywhere and don’t want any woman. I want you to admit that I’m the only man in your heart. I don’t have Zayden, let alone Jordan.”
“Do you like me?”
Nelissa stared at him and said, “If I don’t keep you, will you go on board and get along well with him?”
Edward immediately frowned and rejected Yvonne from the bottom of his heart. He asked Nelissa seriously, “Are you willing to let me go?”
Nelissa was in a bad mood, and it could be said that she was very bad. “I found that you and Miss Moore are quite a good match, so you should be good to her! If you like someone better, you can do it. I’m willing to do it.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Edward grabbed Nelissa’s arm and looked at her with sharp eyes. “Are you angry with me?”
“I’m not angry with you! Let go of me! Open the door! I want to get out!” Nelissa was too weak to break free from Edward’er. She was so angry that she scratched the back of his hand. Her long nails scratched a light red finger mark on his hand. She was so angry that she wanted to bite him. She turned her face away with red eyes. “Open the door. I won’t argue with you anymore.”
A teardrop dripped onto the scratch mark on the back of Edward’s hand, hurting him slightly. He looked at Nelissa’s trembling shoulders and felt inexplicably anxious. He let go of Nelissa and unlocked the door. Nelissa immediately opened the door and got out of the car, running away without looking back.
Edward stared at Nelissa’s retreating back in the car until she was blocked by a passerby and could no longer see her.
After a long time, Edward’s slender fingers rubbed the warm scratches on the back of his hand over and over again. After all, he was a man who had not suffered much. His skin and hands were very noble, and even if he was caught, there would be a mark left. The wet water stains on his hands had been dried, and he was in a terrible mood. He thought of Nelissa crying just now.
His phone rang in the car again and again.
Edward turned a deaf ear to it. He frowned and placed his slender and beautiful hands on the steering wheel.
His mobile phone turned to leave a message email, and Andrew’s voice came out, “Young Mr. Hales, you have a meeting to attend an hour later. Can you come back in time?”
Nelissa returned to the company and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She had washed off her light makeup and lipstick. Her delicate white skin was left with red marks by her fingers, which made her look very embarrassed. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the water drops, removed the remaining powder with the makeup removing water, and put on light makeup. The most important thing was eye makeup.
Her slightly red and swollen eyes couldn’t be concealed. Nelissa didn’t know what she was crying for. As she put on makeup, her tears swirled in her eyes. Fortunately, there was no one in the bathroom at this time.
After putting on makeup, Nelissa stayed in the bathroom for a while. When her mood cooled down, she went out and went back to her office.
A colleague with sharp eyes asked her why her eyes were so red. Even her face and lips were red. It seemed that she had cried or been hurt by a man.
“After eating a very spicy dish, everyone will sweat.” Nelissa was always good at talking nonsense and learned from Jolene.
The colleague nodded. There was also a possibility.
After the lunch break, they began to work in the afternoon.
Nelissa tried her best to work. She picked up the phone and made a few calls. She asked several clients to meet on Friday tomorrow to talk about cooperation. She was full of work tomorrow and had no time to care about other things.
Those who couldn’t stay were destined not to be good people for her. Nelissa’s character was like her mother, along with fate and believed in fate. She always felt that there was only bad fate between her and Edward, not fate that could hold hands.
Nelissa had been busy until the end of the afternoon. She had to deal with the work management and got off work 20 minutes earlier. She said that she would go out to meet a client. Anyway, her boss was Jolene. No one would care whether she was real or not. Even if she really went to see a client, it was not easy to negotiate a contract once or twice.
It was easy to fool.
Nelissa took the bus to pick up Noelle after school for Nathan, and it was not yet the end of the day. There were not many passengers in this bus, and there were still seats to take. If she took another 30 or 20 minutes later, it would be crowded.
Going to the private academy, the classes had just ended Nathan ago.
Nelissa chatted with the teacher. The teacher said that the physical examination report had been sent to them a few days ago. She could go home and have a look, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Nelissa nodded and agreed. She saw Noelle carrying a little school bag with her for Nathan. Among all the children, her twins were the most bright and lovely. No wonder even the teachers were partial to them and kept talking to her.
Nelissa squatted down and asked Noelle for Nathan, “Have you read your physical examination report?”
The two children nodded, and their cheeks were warm. “Don’t worry, you’re in good health.”
Nelissa smiled warmly. Noelle hadn’t understood the physical examination report for Nathan. They were just trying to comfort her mother.
Nelissa took their physical examination reports and looked at them briefly. The child was only four years old and was very healthy. She paused on the blood type column and put the Nathan-old physical examination report into her bag. Then she took their hands and said, “Let’s go.”
Leaving the private academy.
Nelissa was thinking about whether she should take a bus or a subway. Both of them were very crowded at this time. She had to take a long walk to get home. There seemed to be no food in the refrigerator at home. She had to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables when she went home to cook.
It was quite troublesome. Nelissa wanted her to relax today. “Let’s eat outside tonight.”
“Is Nelissa in a bad mood?” Usually, if Nelissa said that she was in a good mood or in a bad mood, she would think that Nelissa was in a bad mood for Nathan.
“I feel a little wronged.” Nelissa and the child were very talkative. Sometimes, they would complain to Noelle for Nathan. “What do you want to eat for dinner tonight? Tell me.”
Noelle replied, “The dumplings.”
Nathan: “Dig at the bottom of the sea.”
There were two children in the family, and their parents had the most headache when they were in labor. Fortunately, Nelissa didn’t have such a problem. She had a good tradition: “Cut stone cloth with scissors and solve it yourself. The winner will decide what to eat.”
