Chapter 274
It was late at night.
Nelissa had slept a lot in the morning, but she was not sleepy at all. Instead, she was very energetic. She wrapped her arms around Edward’s and chatted with him. Her delicate chin leaned on his broad shoulder, and she talked about the words between husband and wife with her mouth open and closed, intimate but not tired.
It was a very comfortable way of getting along with each other.
Even a man like Edward, who was the most annoying to deal with women, had unknowingly fallen in love with this kind of calm feeling. He was more obsessed with Nelissa than he had imagined. The more he got along with her, the more obsessed he was with her. The more obsessed he was with her, the more he could not let go of her.
Just like drugs, it was hard to stop them in this life.
“Honey, when can I see you for Nathan?” Nelissa asked softly, her lips brushing against the man’s ear.
Edward paused for a while and answered Nelissa, “Wait a few days for your health to recover.” He looked away from the document in his hand, lowered his head, and stared deeply at Nelissa. She was also looking at him with admiration.
It showed that this woman had completely belonged to him.
Edward was in a trance for a moment. His eyes became darker and darker, like ink. His heart seemed to have been hit hard by something, which made him clench his fists hard. His dark eyes were still fixed on Nelissa. Although he did not say a word, Nelissa could also feel the strong and crazy feelings from this man.
Every time she was looked at like this by Edward, she would run away in fear, completely at a loss.
Nelissa liked to be watched by Edward. Her heart couldn’t help beating faster and she was fascinated by him.
Edward lowered his head, kissed Nelissa’s slightly open lips, and kissed them. Edward suddenly smiled happily and came out of his chest.
Nelissa licked her lips gently and raised her head to ask him, “What are you laughing at?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Edward didn’t say anything. He just held Nelissa in his arms with both hands. His beautiful thin lips were slightly raised and he was still smiling. There was a charming brilliance in his eyes. He was satisfied.
Just now, Edward had been absent-minded, thinking about what Nelissa had said. Nelissa had never thought of developing a relationship with him, let alone marrying him. He was also betting that they could have a common future.
The time he fought to get back to fall in love with Nelissa was the love that Edward could never get.
That year, her niece, Han Penelope, caused trouble in school. She and Nelissa were blocked by a few gangsters outside the school. Edward also rushed there at that time, but Zayden came first and found Nelissa first.
In the narrow alley, the sun couldn’t reach the end. At that time, the person holding the Nelissa in his arms was Zayden.
Zayden said that he was Nelissa’s boyfriend.
Nelissa didn’t refute.
Edward stopped his footsteps for the first time and clenched his fists. He had never given up before. For the first time, he gave up on the girl he liked. He stood at the entrance of the alley with an indifferent and numb face, watching Zayden holding Nelissa in his arms and walking out step by step.
Under the thin sunlight, there was no emotional fluctuation in Edward’s calm eyes. He was indifferent and proud as usual. In the eyes of others, he was just a passer-by. He could witness the birth of a couple and witness… Nelissa was so obedient and snuggled up in Zayden’s arms, which didn’t belong to him.
It wasn’t until he carried his niece, Han Penelope, back to the car that Lu Ziming carefully asked him if he wanted to send her home first that Edward suddenly realized that he had been silent for a long time. His niece, Penelope, was sitting next to him and didn’t dare to breathe heavily. Presumably, his unfriendly expression frightened her.
Edward rubbed his face with his hands and put his slender fingers on his forehead. He said word by word, trying hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart. “Go to my big brother’s house.”
After giving the instructions, Edward continued to remain silent. Everything was as usual and nothing was wrong.
However, in a place where others could not see, the window was broken like a shadow, reflecting the loneliness on the man’s handsome side face, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
It was the first time for the 26-year-old Edward to be out of love. It had not yet ended, and it had become an obsession in his heart that he could not give up.
On the same night.
Zayden drove back to the Qi’s villa and parked the luxury car in the garage. He put out the engine and the car. The closed garage was dark. He was immersed in his thoughts in the silent car, missing the time when he was in the Qi’s.
It was the most relaxed six years of Zayden’s life. He was no longer alone and did not have to work hard for survival. There was a girl who was gentle to him at home who liked him. Zayden was very grateful to Qi Chuying for taking him in and wanted to cherish Nelissa. When he had high hopes for the future and thought that he could stay with Nelissa, Qi Chuying stopped him.
Qi Jiying said that Nelissa was her only daughter. Every mother had her own selfish motives. Nelissa had never suffered a little since she was a child. Did you ever ask her if she had ever been distressed about having three meals a day?
Qi Jiying said that the so-called love you have now could not withstand a single blow in the face of reality. It was just a moment of impulse between a young man and a woman.
Qi Jiying said, “Zayden, you and Nelissa are together. I am afraid that you will destroy her.”
Zayden kept his head lowered as he mumbled, “Did I destroy her?”
Qi Jiying said, “Yes.” The opposition on her face did not move at all, and she still did not allow Zayden and Nelissa to be together.
Zayden twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered. He raised his head and looked straight at Qi composedly and asked, “Is it because I’m poor?”
Qi Chuying didn’t answer him directly. But in any era, marriage was important for families of equal status. He couldn’t blame Qi Chuying for being selfish and couldn’t blame anyone. The gap between the rich and the poor was a fundamental problem. What’s more, it was the man who had nothing, but the woman was born in a rich and powerful family.
They didn’t deserve it.
Only then did Zayden understand that everything was just his wishful thinking. He wouldn’t be Nelissa’s final home. He didn’t have the ability to give her a better life.
Later, Zayden changed little by little, and he returned to what he used to be when he met Nelissa. He could do anything for the sake of money and achieve his ambition. It didn’t matter how dirty it was. He even abandoned his conscience and was forced to be a madman by reality.
He wanted to earn more money. He thought that when he had the ability, Qi Ziying would agree to let him and Nelissa be together. But later, so many things happened, which led to him and Nelissa getting farther and farther away, and finally losing her.
There was no medicine for regret in life. Had Zayden ever asked himself if he had ever regretted it? He couldn’t say if it was right or wrong. Even if he did it again, he still wanted to realize his wishful thinking. He only hated that his birth was not good and he was destined not to be worthy of Nelissa.
