Chapter 287
No one knew who he would fall in love with the next second. It was true love or just a passer-by. In fact, falling in love at first sight was easy, but it was difficult to fall in love for the rest of his life. The knot in Anna’s heart that he couldn’t let go of for so many years was a decision at that time. In recent years, she had been by Nelissa’s side because she wanted to know what kind of woman Nelissa was and what her loss was.
In fact, Nelissa was not very special. At most, she was just a girl who was a little more beautiful than ordinary people, not as unique as she imagined. Back then, if she hadn’t stopped Edward from finding Nelissa, maybe such an ordinary girl wouldn’t have attracted Edward’s attention for too long. She might have been able to defeat Nelissa with her excellent skills, so that she wouldn’t have been separated from him.
She should have faced Nelissa from the very beginning, instead of secretly playing tricks to stop Edward from seeing Nelissa.
Anna admitted that deep in her heart, she was still afraid of losing. The feeling of being pushed away by Edward was too embarrassing. Since the day Nelissa appeared, all her radiance seemed to have been taken away. The more mysterious Nelissa was, the more Edward cared about her. Her self-confidence was passing day by day. Until later, she was even more afraid that Edward would find Nelissa.
For a moment, Anna completely lost his confidence and felt that he was no match for Nelissa. She didn’t dare to face Nelissa, so she couldn’t win. From then on, she still couldn’t get rid of this knot in her heart. From then on, Edward’s attitude toward her was very cold.
It turned out that after she left for a few years, everyone had changed. She was no longer the person Edward loved the most.
Sitting in the luxury car, Anna looked out of the window. No one saw her tears. She looked at the scene outside and asked softly, “This is the first question you formally asked me after we met again. But it has something to do with Nelissa.” At this point, Anna also smiled and looked sad. “I have imagined countless times what the first sentence you told me after you saw me. Are you questioning me where I have been in the past few years? Or are you worried about whether I have been living well these years or not?”
“The result is not the same. The person you are most concerned about is Nelissa. I have known you since I was a child. Don’t you feel sad for me?”
Edward’s face softened a little, and his deep voice seemed to be sighing. He was indeed sighing. He read Anna’s name to make him feel infinite attachment. Edward answered her seriously, “You said that a person’s heart can only contain another person. If there is one more person, it will not be true.”
Anna was stunned for a moment, and then he retorted, “Didn’t you believe in these words before?”
Edward nodded with no emotion on his face. He admitted calmly, “That’s because I didn’t fall in love with you.”
Anna’s heart was immediately cut by a knife. She looked at Edward with red eyes and looked at his handsome and familiar face. At this time, his expression was calm and almost cold, without a trace of guilt. She also felt that this man did not seem to have changed. He was still the same Edward in the past. He could easily confuse people with a lie, but when he did not want to lie, he was cruel and heartbreaking.
He stopped at a intersection in front of him, and there was a western restaurant next to him. The sky slowly darkened, and the rain was still falling. His deep profile was hidden in the shadow of the night, and he was still handsome and noble. He was more mature and charming than before. Anna’s heart had never calmed down when he saw him just now.
She really loved Edward very much, so she came back to Haleston City again.
Edward turned his eyes and looked into Anna’s eyes. Anna’s heart skipped a beat, and soon he jumped wildly. His eyes gradually blurred, and he was extremely attached to this man. In this narrow workshop, he was full of his own aura.
Anna was obsessed with her.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Edward leaned on the car seat, rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and put it between his slender fingers. After a moment of silence, he finally said in a low voice, “I thought I used to be a jerk, always centered on myself. Although I knew that you liked me, I never rejected you. I owe you a lot, so I can’t keep owing you. I don’t like you, and I can’t give you happiness. I’m not worthy of your sincere treatment.”
Anna muttered, “Stop it…”
Edward was still saying that Anna needed to wake up from his previous lies. “I said that I would marry you, but I was lying to myself, and I also lied to you. I like Nelissa, and I can’t forget her. In fact, after this, I still found Nelissa, but she has someone else around her. Maybe she has self-esteem, or she doesn’t want to admit how much she likes her, so I didn’t get to know her. I know that even if she is missing, I will have a lot of women to choose from.”
“In the past, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. But now, I really think I’m a bastard. I misunderstood you.” It was rare for Edward to show guilt. He was really guilty.
Edward had never been a gentle and considerate man. He didn’t even have the basic kindness. He only cared about the people he liked. He never took advantage of what he didn’t like. In the final analysis, he was still centered on himself, but Nelissa was his center, his everything.
“Stop it!” Anna was so excited that he threw himself into Edward’s arms and hugged the man tightly. He was very afraid of what he would say next. He would definitely say-Anna, I only treat you as my sister.
But she liked him.
“Brother Edward, I’ve just returned. Can you treat me better? Can you ask me where I’ve been for the past few years? Can you be a little more concerned about me?” Anna pleaded in Edward’s arms. Tears wet her cheeks and his clothes.
Back then, the reason why Anna left was that he was afraid that one day she would plead with Edward like this. She was no longer as good as Nelissa. Edward’an would not like her if she cried like this. She did not want to see herself in such a sorry state. But in the end, she still showed her true colors.
She was not so noble and cold. She just wanted to make herself a match for Edward.
Edward was silent. He didn’t even care about Anna. Instead of continuing to owe him, it was better to refuse him. He was not a good person of Anna.
Anna did not wait for Edward’s response and slowly looked up at him. His calm eyes looked down, as if he was looking at her with pity, or as if he was iron-hearted. There was no emotion in his cold eyes.
Anna couldn’t be more familiar with her eyes. Once, he was drunk and confessed his feelings for her. He only regarded her as his sister. He didn’t have much hope for her, but he still felt warm in his heart and couldn’t forget her…
