Chapter 103
Sophie’s mother and daughter, Sophie, had completely different thoughts in their minds. In the past, she had never seen Anna that much. Sophie smiled, and Edward and Sean doted on him. The three of them had a good relationship in Haleston City, which was prominent and noble!
At the end of the day, her daughter could not compare to her rival in love!
Her mother looked at her and said, “Ask when Sean will come back. When you and Edward get married, I can also get a marriage certificate with your father.”
Her mother had lived in the Bailey family for so many years, but Ryan had never gotten a marriage certificate with her. She was just a nominal madam of the Bailey family, and had no connection at all. If there was a vixen who was younger than her, she would lose her status at any time!
On the other side, Nelissa and Jolene had just finished their dinner Nathan ago. They were packing up bowls and chopsticks and washing dishes.
Noelle had been working in a small room for Nathan. Jolene sorted out the food that Nelissa had bought from the supermarket tonight. He took some snacks and went to his apartment next door. He put them in the refrigerator and then returned to Nelissa’s apartment.
Jolene sat on the sofa in the living room and hooked the roses in the vase in the middle of the tea table with his toes.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
After washing the bowl, Nelissa came out and saw it. She patted her with her hand and was speechless.
Jolene was embarrassed and laughed, “Speaking of which, who gave you roses?”
Nelissa’s gaze drifted. She didn’t dare to say anything. “… You don’t know her.”
“Who is that? I’ll introduce her to you.” Jolene hugged his pillow and patted the empty seat on the couch, looking like he was going to have a long talk with Nelissa.
Nelissa sighed softly, took off her apron, and sat down obediently.
“I’m a high school classmate.” Jordan said casually, but it was not a full leave. Jordan had also sent her roses.
Jolene’s interest was piqued and he lowered his voice to the side to look at Nelissa. “Another high school classmate. Your high school classmate is so sharp. Is this a man or a woman?”
Nelissa told him truthfully, “A man.”
Jolene’s mind spun as he quickly analyzed, “A man giving you flowers means that he definitely likes you. When you were in school, did he have a crush on you?”
Deep love…
Nelissa had never thought that Jordan would have a crush on her. She coughed and said, “I don’t know if it’s a crush, but he seems to have liked me for a long time.”
Nelissa roughly told Jolene about what had happened between her and Jordan. When she was young, she had fallen in love with Zayden and had never paid attention to the boy beside her. Jordan could be considered her second intimate person when she was in school. She was being bullied by him while being protected by him.
She had let him off twice because she felt sorry for him.
After hearing Nelissa’s words, Jolene rubbed his chin and said, “I think there’s a chance.”
“No matter how many TV series and movies you have watched, they are all the same. As for youth, how many people are lucky enough to hold hands with their opponents and hold hands till the end? Is he really the right person? It’s fate that we meet again after we broke up. For so many years, he still likes you. This is very pure. You and he are half old classmates. He knows that you have two drag bottles and he doesn’t mind chasing you. You can think about it.”
Nelissa looked at her. “You want me to accept Jordan’s pursuit?”
Jolene nodded, “That’s right. Let’s give it a try. Let’s see if there really is some kind of fate between you and him.”
Nelissa shook her head. “I don’t want to.”
“Why?” asked Jolene, his chin resting on his hand as he looked curiously at Nelissa. “For the past five years, you’ve never truly been in a relationship with a man. There have been people courting you, and there have also been people who introduced you to you. None of them are worth your attention. I know that Nathan is one of the reasons, but in your heart, you really don’t want to find another man.”
“Anyway, I don’t want to.” Nelissa remembered that she had been with a man for two days. Edward had said that she was like a little nun. It was obvious that he was playing with a hooligan!
Jolene looked at her, “If you don’t want to, then so be it. Why are you blushing at me? Do you have someone in your heart?”
Nelissa kept shaking her head, and her face became redder and redder. There was no one in her heart!
Jolene chuckled and said, “You don’t look like you have someone else in your heart at all. I can see that you have a ghost in your heart. Don’t tell me you’re keeping it from me that you’re dating another man?”
Nelissa felt guilty. She blinked her beautiful eyelashes and argued, “No. Don’t rush to be a matchmaker as soon as you come back. I’m still so young, so I’m not in a hurry to find a man.”
“I just wanted to marry you off as soon as possible,” said Jolene as he nudged Nelissa’s body with his shoulder. “Do you want to accept Jordan? I think it’s fine. This kind of young man is very easy to conquer.”
Nelissa shot a glance at Jolene and said, “He’s the Crown Prince of the country. Even if he doesn’t mind that I have two children to drag him down, his parents will still mind.”
Jolene was astonished, “Damn it, your high school classmates are all quite promising. They’re all rich?”
Nelissa smiled and nodded. Indeed, they were all rich people.
Jolene didn’t say a word. If it were her, she would have to read about depression in this rich environment!
After Noelle finished her homework Nathan ago, it was not appropriate for Nelissa and Jolene to talk about adult men and women in front of their children.
They accompanied the two children to watch the replay of variety shows, talking and laughing. A few hours after work at home at night was the best relaxing time of the whole day, particularly enjoyable.
Jolene brought over a few packs of snacks and two cans of frozen beer. The weather was very cool.
“Mom, I want to drink too.” Noelle was a little greedy cat and wanted to try anything. She leaned on Nelissa’s body and licked her little mouth.
“Little girls can’t drink.” Nelissa pushed her daughter’s little forehead dotingly. “Drink after you grow up.”
“What about me?” He raised his little handsome face for Nathan. He was a man!
“You can’t do it either.” Nelissa pinched her son’s little face. How old was he? He wanted to act like an adult for her. After playing with him for Nathan, Jolene loved to see him roll his eyes.
“Hmph!” He snorted for Nathan.
The TV was in an advertisement, and Noelle took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom. When she passed by Nelissa’s room, she heard her mobile phone ringing. Noelle picked up her little skirt and said in a crisp voice, “Mom, your mobile phone has a phone number.”
“I’ll go and have a look,” answered Nelissa. She got up and turned left to enter the room. Sometimes, some difficult clients would call her in the middle of the night, and some of them would go crazy from being drunk and calling the wrong number.
Nelissa picked up the phone on the dressing table and looked at it. Her heart was beating fast. It was Edward’s number.
She looked at the mirror in front of her and picked up the phone. Her voice was very soft, afraid that Jolene would hear her. “Hello.”
“I’m downstairs.” Edward’s voice was low, as if it was attached to Nelissa’s ear, and his thin lips opened slightly.
Nelissa immediately took a deep breath. She quickly walked out of the room and went to the balcony to look down with the help of the guardrail. As expected, she saw a familiar black luxury car parked downstairs.
Knowing that Edward was in the car, she couldn’t help asking nervously, “Why, why are you here?”
“I want to come up and look for you.” Edward’s voice was hoarse and he had a very good taste.
“No way.” Nelissa lowered her voice, her heart trembling. She looked back at Jolene, who was watching TV, and whispered, “Jolene is at my house. You can’t come up.”
There was silence on Edward’s side.
Nelissa only heard the metallic sound of a lighter and guessed that he was smoking. He might be in a bad mood and was angry.
Once this man got angry, there would always be someone who would suffer.
“No, I have someone in my family. Noelle hasn’t slept for Nathan. Don’t come up. Go back.” Nelissa refused Edward, and called him “Ying” in a low voice to comfort him.
He was most afraid that he would get angry.
Hanging up the phone, Nelissa went back to the living room and sat down on the sofa. She nervously held her mobile phone and watched TV with Jolene and Noelle for Nathan. She couldn’t see what the program was about. The phone was burning in her palm, and she was a little nervous and absent-minded.
Edward had been silent on the other end of the phone. She had made the decision to hang up on him. She wondered if he had left or if he was still downstairs.
Nelissa looked down at her phone and bit her lip.
“Who called just now?” Taking advantage of the show’s advertisement, Jolene took a sip of beer and asked Nelissa.
“A client.” Nelissa blinked her eyes and talked nonsense.
Jolene nodded. Being their customer was god’s law. If they wanted to work together in the future, they had to chat and laugh with each other. Sometimes, they had to be an intelligent lady. In any case, they had to talk like a ghost.
When the TV program was over, there was no sound at the door. Nelissa breathed a sigh of relief. Edward didn’t get angry and came up to find her. She had already left.
After Jolene finished watching the show, there was one more movie that he had to go after in the middle of the night. Nelissa led Noelle back to his room Nathan ago to sleep.
She was absent-mindedly telling her son and daughter the story before going to bed. After telling a few wrong places, Noelle fell asleep Nathan later. Children were very easy to fool, and they were not serious. She tucked them in and turned off the lights.
Jolene was still watching TV in the living room. Nelissa entered the kitchen and poured him a cup of warm water to drink. When she passed by the balcony, she glanced outside a few times and frowned. She sat down on the sofa and accompanied Jolene to watch a drama.
The thirty-minute movie looked like three hours, and Nelissa couldn’t understand what she was thinking.
After Jolene left, Nelissa slowly walked out of the balcony with her phone in her hand. She held the hair by her ear with her white fingers and looked downstairs. Edward’s car was still there and he didn’t leave at all.
Nelissa’s heart beat faster. She wanted Edward to restrain his pride and wait silently for someone. She knew how difficult it was. She had to admit that his behavior was very immoral. She couldn’t even pretend to ignore it.
She called him back.
“He’s gone?” Edward asked in a magnetic voice.
“Yes.” Nelissa responded, her fair hands unconsciously clutching the stainless steel guardrail.
“I’m coming up now.” Edward opened the door and got out of the car with his long legs. His tall body was very cold. He turned off the door and locked it.
Nelissa opened her small mouth and clenched her fists more tightly. She was trying to persuade her to refuse rationally. This was too crazy, but her voice said, “Yes.”
Edward raised his thin lips and laughed in a low voice. He was both happy and evil, blushing all of a sudden. Even the roots of his ears were burning.
