Pampered Like A Princess

Nelissa restrained her actions and replied honestly, “I’m thirsty.”

“Call me in the future.” Edward came over, picked up the kettle, poured a cup of warm water for Nelissa, helped her up, and still fed her a cup of water. He said, “When I’m here, you don’t have to force yourself.”

Nelissa didn’t force him. She just felt sorry for him and wanted him to rest a little longer.

She drank up the water and asked him curiously, “Have you slept before?”

“I didn’t sleep very much.” Edward didn’t close his eyes. He had been thinking about too many things. The more he thought, the more frightened he was. He was afraid that Nelissa would fall into danger. In the end, he couldn’t sleep no matter how hard he tried. Listening to the sound of the clock and Nelissa’s weak breathing, he opened his eyes until now.

The hospital bed rose.

Nelissa leaned against the pillow and leaned against the bed. She looked at Edward’s handsome face carefully and asked him softly, “Are you tired?”

Edward lowered his head slightly and looked at Nelissa with a serious expression. “I’m very tired.” He sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed, his tall body slightly bent. “I’ve been struggling since I knew what happened to you. I feel a lot of pressure. It’s not you or the outside world who gave me this kind of pressure. It’s my fault. I can’t forgive myself for not protecting you well. I should have been with you yesterday. Your mother’s operation has just been completed. I shouldn’t have been in such a hurry to do my own things. If I had been with you yesterday, there wouldn’t have been such a thing.”

“Before that, I didn’t even realize the danger ahead of time.” Taking a deep breath, Edward lowered his head and said, “Nelissa, do you know how I feel now? I regret it.”

It was five fifty-five in the morning. Edward never thought that he would talk to Nelissa at this time, but he suddenly wanted to tell her his mood.

It was the first time for him to have such a feeling and experience. It was very subtle.

Nelissa reached out to touch Edward’s head. Her fingers brushed across his hard hair as he lowered his head and let her do whatever she wanted.

She suddenly thought, “Could she be the first woman who could touch my head like this after Edward became an adult? At least, with his character, it’s very difficult for him to have a second one.”

She said slowly, “I used to hate men who don’t have a sense of responsibility, because I think this kind of man doesn’t have self-control. It may be fine for him for a while, but he won’t be happy for a long time. But now I feel that it’s not necessarily good for a man to have a sense of responsibility. He will be very tired, so he might as well come back when he’s alone.” Her small hands caressed his loose hair and said, “Edward, I’m not your burden. I don’t want you to carry me so hard.”

“It’s not just a matter of one person. Both sides have their own responsibilities. If you’re responsible, then I’m certainly responsible.” Nelissa thought for a moment and said with a faint smile, “My criteria for choosing a partner has been changing over the past few years. In the end, I don’t think responsibility is the most important thing. It’s mainly about character and conscience.”

A sense of responsibility could not be called love.

Edward looked up at her. “You used to think that my character wasn’t good?”

Nelissa blinked and said tactfully, “I think you don’t have a good position. You’re just a playboy.” She couldn’t blame her for her prejudice. There were many rumors about Edward in Haleston City, but he was rich and handsome. He could be described as a playboy. At that time, she did think that he was a playboy.

Edward frowned tightly, and his eyes were a little unpleasant.

Nelissa quickly tried to be friendly with him. “But now I’m 100% sure that your character and conscience are all good. I used to be ignorant and believed in the gossip of the woman in the office.”

Nelissa didn’t dare to say anything about Jolene. Back then, Edward was a big client that their company wanted to take over. Jolene had instilled quite a bit of his ‘black history’ into her.

Edward reached out and pinched Nelissa’s chin. Seeing that she was obedient enough to listen to him, he was in a good mood. “I like to listen to whatever you say.”

Nelissa knew that he was no longer depressed.

In the morning, Jolene prepared breakfast for Noelle for Nathan. After they finished eating, they put on their school uniforms and packed up their school bags. Seeing that it was about time, Jolene led them out of the house and waited for the school bus at the entrance of the neighborhood.

In the elevator, when Jolene saw that the Dragon-Phoenix Fetus was much quieter than usual, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you talk today? Are you sleepy?”

With a poker face for Nathan, he said coldly, “I’m not in the mood.”

Jolene couldn’t help but laugh as he teased him, “Why do you have such a sad expression on your face? Are you missing mom?”

After not answering Jolene’s question for Nathan, he snorted and turned his handsome face to the other side.

Jolene didn’t want to tease him anymore. He knew that he was really missing Nelissa, and he didn’t know if there was any so-called spiritual connection between his mother and child. Maybe there was still something going on between them. Today, his mood was obviously very low and gloomy.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Jolene led them out. There was a black car parked in front of the door, and Andrew was waiting outside the car.

Feeling slightly surprised, Jolene asked, “Why are you here?”

Andrew said, “Last night… last night, Young Mr. Hales told me on the phone that I should send them to school for Nathan every day, so don’t let them take the school bus. The chances of an accident happening on the school bus are high, so it’s not very safe. Young Mr. Hales is worried about them.”

Jolene thought of what Andrew had said and felt that the meaning behind it was very deep. She asked, “You come here every day, didn’t you go out early?”

Andrew smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s my duty.”

Jolene thought to himself, as Edward’s assistant, not only did he have to be omnipotent, he also had to be iron-willed. As they were both at the same level of work, she curiously asked Andrew, “How much is your monthly salary?”

Andrew didn’t expect that the other party would inquire about this. He was stunned and said modestly, “Not much, not little.” A year and a half was more than enough.

Nathan after Noelle got in the car, Jolene fastened the seat belt for them and closed the door. He pulled Andrew aside and asked, “Do you know Nelissa’s current situation?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Andrew told her, “I went to the hospital last night, but I didn’t go to the ward. But I saw that she was awake, so she should be fine.”

Jolene asked, “Which hospital is she in?”

Andrew replied, “Jung Hospital.” Then, he gently reminded her, “Mr. Hales has been guarding Miss Nelissa day and night. Maybe he doesn’t need too many people to see her.”

Jolene understood and knew that Nelissa was fine. She smiled and said, “I’ll have to trouble you for Nathan.”

Andrew didn’t say it was troublesome. He looked at the time and said goodbye to Jolene. Then he got in the car and sent Young Mr. Hales’s twins to school.

Young Mr. Hales was very nervous about this pair of children. Last night, outside the ward, he repeatedly told him that he had to send Noelle to school for Nathan on time every day. He also sent several bodyguards from the security company to keep an eye on her all day long outside the front and back doors of the school to prevent evil people from taking away Noelle for Nathan.

He was very thoughtful.
