Chapter 261
When Nelissa knew that Han Penelope was coming, she felt a little uneasy and happy. After all, Penelope still recognized her as her friend. It was just that she could not accept the change in their relationship.
When she first accepted the relationship with Edward, she was also a little flustered. She was also a 23-year-old girl, but her experience was too different. Her thoughts were very real and there was no dream about her. Maybe she couldn’t understand her choice, but she really didn’t regret it at all.
She liked Edward and liked him more and more. Even if Penelope hated her because of this, she didn’t care. She wanted to stay with this man. Even if she would be hated by many people, she would be with him.
Unless, unless Edward pushed her away with his own hands and said that he didn’t want her anymore, she… she might cry to death, or pester him. Sometimes she would avoid thinking about the future. If one day her love for Edward was no longer guaranteed, what would she do if he fell in love with another woman? Would she let him go freely, or would she become another ugly woman?
She could not be unrestrained. If she hated him, how much could she hate him? After all, she loved him so much now.
Lying on the bed, Nelissa secretly sighed, thinking that she had better watch less sad love movies in the future, which made her a little depressed in the middle of the night.
In fact, Edward was very good to her. When Andrew came to visit her this morning, there was a strange look in his eyes. She also knew that the love Edward gave her was not easy to get, so she cherished it very much and was also a little worried about the gains and losses.
This was how people were like. They had clearly obtained it, yet they were still afraid of losing it.
There was a large green area under the hospital building, where trees and trees were planted. At this time, it was late at night, and the ward was so quiet that it was as if the chirping of cicadas could be heard.
After listening for a while, Nelissa’s mood gradually calmed down. She turned her face and looked at the other bed next to her. Edward seemed to have fallen asleep, and the outline of his face was hard to see clearly in the dark shadow. But she still looked at it for a long time. The more she looked at it, the softer and sweet her heart became. She only felt that the time was quiet.
He had fallen asleep.NôvelDrama.Org content.
The next day, at noon.
Edward called Han Penelope and asked her to come over. He told her some key points on the phone in advance not to provoke Nelissa. His tone was harsh.
How could Han Penelope not listen to her uncle’s words? Her mouth was full of agreement. Indeed, she did not dare to provoke Nelissa. She did not know if Nelissa’s injuries were serious. If she were to hurt her health out of anger, her uncle would be upset.
After that, Edward went back to the ward. Nelissa was sitting on the hospital bed with a mirror on the chopping board. She was combing her hair with a big piece of wood.
He walked over, took the comb in her hand, combed the black hair behind her, and said in a gentle voice, “It looks good.”
Nelissa didn’t dress up. She just wanted to make herself look better. She didn’t want to be sick. She glanced back at Edward, and her eyes were full of emotion.
Nelissa didn’t know how gentle and charming she was in Edward’s eyes. He tightened his grip on her smooth, noble hand, as if he wanted to imprison this woman within his reach.
It was very overbearing.
Nelissa said to him in a soft voice, “Give me the comb. Don’t touch me anymore.” Then she said, “When Penelope comes over, stand away and don’t touch me.”
Edward immediately raised his eyebrows unhappily and asked her, “Who do you think I am to you?”
Of course, it was her husband. Nelissa was too embarrassed to pretend to be close to Edward. She wanted to be a decent couple and maintain the purity of the revolution, so as not to embarrass the three of them later.
She tugged at the sleeves of Edward’s shirt and said in a friendly tone, “Just do it. You know me and Penelope…”
Nelissa wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Her former classmate had become a little aunt, which was somewhat ridiculous. People who didn’t understand might think that she was going for Edward’s money.
But in fact, she and Edward were true love.
Edward had no temper toward Nelissa and gave up on his principles. He pinched her chin with his slender fingers and said, “If you’re my classmate, you’re also a woman, and I’m a normal man. It makes sense that I’m interested in you. I’m just interested in the opposite sex, there’s not so much that I shouldn’t. When you’re with me in the future, you’ll often see me. Do you want me to stand in a safe area and communicate with you? I’m not having an affair with you.”
Nelissa’s cheeks flushed as she thought to herself, “It really feels like I’m having an affair.”
She thought for a moment and said, “We can take it step by step. In the future, in front of Penelope, we can communicate with each other with our eyes first, and then try to hold hands.” Then, there was no follow-up.
Edward suddenly smiled charmingly. “Okay, I’ll call her now and tell her not to come over.”
“Honey.” Nelissa held his strong wrist with her two small hands and looked at him pitifully. She almost clung to him and said, “Can’t you just listen to me once?”
Edward looked down at her and thought that she had listened to him countless times. He sat down on the bed and said lightly, “I won’t tease you anymore. When I come over, I will leave. I have something to do. By the way, I will help you deal with your work. Wait for me to come back, okay?”
Nelissa replied obediently, “Okay, go ahead.”
Edward stared at her. “You miss me so much?”
Nelissa told the truth. “You’re not sick. You’ve been with me in the hospital all day. I feel like I’m binding your freedom.”
Edward was silent for a few seconds, and then he said in a low voice, “It’s not what you want. It’s what you want.”
Nelissa looked at him and asked, “What’s your name?”
Edward didn’t say anything. His eyes were extremely affectionate. His fingers were still holding Nelissa’s chin. He slightly bent down his big hand, kissed her slightly open mouth, and gave her his breath.
The two of them kissed intimately.
At this moment, someone pushed open the door of the ward. As soon as Han Penelope came in, she saw this scene and was stunned.
Nelissa’s heart almost stopped beating.
Edward left Nelissa’s red lips and squinted slightly. “You won’t knock on the door?”
Who would have thought that it would be like this? Her little uncle, whom she knew, had always been high above others and never took the initiative to show intimacy with women. However, he and Nelissa… actually had such a good relationship. She coughed unnaturally and said stupidly, “I… I’ll knock on it again?”
Nelissa’s face was completely red, and she had always been shy.
“Come in.” Edward sighed. There weren’t many women who could make him sigh, but these two were.
Han Penelope came in as she was told. She put down the things she had bought and said to Nelissa, “Hi, Nelissa.”
A rather terrible opening remark…
