Chapter 74
After that, Nelissa locked the contraceptive in the drawer. This feeling of guilty was like that she had secretly met a wild man on her back for Nathan. It just happened that this wild man was their father. She didn’t know what this was. She blamed it on her young age for having an evil affair.
At night.
After a simple dinner, the family of four sat in the small living room to watch variety shows. Nelissa requested a change in stage to let her face a pair of lottery tickets.
Jolene watched her carefully holding the lottery and said, “Nelissa, you’re lacking money recently?”
Nelissa cut off one number after another and replied, “I have no lack of money.”
Jolene laughed. The Nathan of the Noelle was a large amount of expenses for the tuition, expenses, milk, and so on. However, Nelissa was only 23 years old. She was still very young and had enough time to fight. She would definitely be rich in the future. “Okay, after watching the program, my godmother will invite you out to eat crayfish. We can drink a few cups on the weekends.”
“Thank you, godmother.” Seven Days of Noelle wasn’t polite. Jolene was their godmother. “We’ll take two pounds back after we’re done.”
“No problem.” Jolene made an OK gesture, and with his elbow against Nelissa, he secretly said, “The owner of the crayfish store is a handsome man. You should pay more attention later.”
Nelissa threw away the lottery. She lost two yuan and didn’t get a single number. She glanced at Jolene and said, “What are you paying attention to? Are you going to hook up with him?”
Jolene immediately said angrily, “I’m introducing them to you!”
Nelissa smiled dryly and said nothing. Don’t be ridiculous. Her relationship with Edward was still unclear as of yet. She did not dare to get acquainted with any other man.
“Mom, your phone is ringing.” Nathan later, her son pointed to Nelissa’s room and put her phone in the room.
Nelissa asked him to bring her phone to her for Nathan. Although his son was cool, he was actually very gentle. He accommodating girls, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was a warm boy.
“Here you are.” Nathan later, he quickly took out his mobile phone.
Nelissa glanced at the caller ID: Penelope.
She froze for a second, then got up from her phone and went to the balcony to pick up the call. She took a small breath and said, “Penelope.”
“Where is your home? Can I come to you now?” Penelope asked and heard her driving voice.
“Sure.” Nelissa told him the address of her small apartment. After that, Penelope hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Nelissa didn’t know if it was confirmed by the fact that she and Edward had sex. She even knew more. Last night, she and Penelope had a very unpleasant relationship. Although she was drunk, she knew that she really couldn’t accept the romantic relationship between Edward and her.
Perhaps, no one could accept her and Edward. If they didn’t meet each other, it would be an ill-fated relationship for a couple who didn’t match each other.
Sigh, Nelissa sighed in her heart. Her fair hand rested on the railing on the balcony and she couldn’t help but look down. He left early in the morning without Edward’s car and felt a little empty in his heart.
After the TV program was over, Jolene went back to the apartment next door to change his clothes and went out to eat crayfish with them. Nelissa was not going. She changed her clothes and sent her and Noelle Nathan downstairs, planning to wait for Penelope downstairs.
When the four people went out of the community, a white BMW came over and slowly stopped. The window landed, revealing Penelope’s beautiful face. She first saw Nelissa. “Qi.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The four of them stopped. Nelissa didn’t expect Penelope to arrive so soon.
Penelope opened the door and got off the car, only to see the two short children beside Nelissa. She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that this was Zayden’s child. She looked more carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she stared at the boy for Nathan. “These two are… your children?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Nelissa patted Noelle’s little head for Nathan and told them to call for help.
“Hello, big sis.” The Dragonphoenix child’s tacit understanding was better than that of ordinary siblings.
Penelope smiled. It was the first time she had met Nelissa’s two children. Their genes were really good and very beautiful.
Nelissa told Jolene to take Noelle and Nathan to eat first. She didn’t want to go, her body intentionally or unintentionally blocking the two children. She didn’t want Penelope to see the birth of the dragon and phoenix too clearly. She was Edward’s niece after all.
After they left, Nelissa and Penelope faced each other in silence, both of them a little embarrassed.
After all, adults quarrels were more mature than students. Nelissa smiled lightly and changed the subject. Penelope then said, “Let’s get on the car and talk.”
Nelissa nodded. “Okay.”
After getting on the car, Penelope drove the white BMW to the parking space on the side of the road. In the evening, plus the land was relatively remote, the outside of the car was very quiet.
Penelope turned out the fire, and only the headlights lit up.
“What do you want to talk about?” Nelissa asked. She was actually very nervous. She knew that if Penelope discovered the matter between her and Edward, she would definitely turn against her.
She and Edward really couldn’t do it. Because of too many reasons, this man was destined to be her nemesis. She knew that it was dangerous, but she still rushed up. How wonderful it would be if she could control her heart freely. She would certainly not miss him.
Penelope said sincerely, “I was drunk last night, and some words didn’t cross my mind. I took them back and apologize to you.”
Nelissa raised her eyebrows. She was surprised. She thought that everything was going to be exposed…
Penelope continued, “Sophie came to me at noon today and she explained to me that I misunderstood you. That day in the hotel, she said that she was also there. You were only talking about business with my uncle. I don’t know why it turned out like this. Nelissa, don’t be angry with me. I was so angry that someone said that you seduced my uncle, so I believed it at the moment.”
It was a real injustice for Nelissa to seduce him, but she was too ashamed to be angry. She had just kissed Edward this morning, so she felt a little ashamed and guilty. No one was more innocent than anyone on this matter.
Edward had definitely warned Sophie and helped her to clarify that it was Sophie who had helped her. After all, this matter had already angered her. She would not be so silly as to become Sophie’s cannon fodder. She had wanted to say what Sophie had done if she asked again!
Now that Ling Yuan had come back, he could only continue to do it.
Nelissa sighed softly. “I’m not angry with you. Don’t worry.”
Penelope pursed her lips and complained, “It’s all Jordan’s fault. He’s doing this to you! He did it when he was still a student. But now, he hasn’t made any progress!”
“It’s up to him.” Nelissa did not care what others thought of her. She only cared about the people she cared about.
She was not familiar with Jordan, so he didn’t care about her as much as he liked. Anyway, he couldn’t curse her by pointing at her nose. There was no need for her to blame him.
“No way!” Penelope was a straightforward person. She was on the opposite side of Nelissa and wanted to vent her anger on her. “Do you know how he talked to you in front of our classmates? This is too much. I have to ask him to keep his mouth shut. No! I have to tell him the truth of this matter so that he can know what nonsense he said. He’s too old to be so childish!”
While speaking, Penelope started the white BMW and drove it to the driveway.
“Where, where are we going?” Nelissa was stunned and quickly fastened her seatbelt.
“Haleston City Hotel!” Penelope said in a loud and clear tone.
“Why don’t I treat you to some lobster? Stop fooling around.” Nelissa didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and said helplessly.
Penelope loved beauties and rarely ate spicy food. She refused, “What are you doing? I’m trying to restore your reputation!”
Nelissa felt that her reputation as a single mother was really not important.
The traffic on the road was very smooth at night. After 30 minutes, they arrived at Haleston City Hotel.
Penelope drove into the underground parking lot. After parking her car, she called Jordan and asked him to come down and talk.
Ten minutes later, Jordan came down.
Nelissa looked out of the window and saw Jordan. He was a young man with a white blouse and black trousers. The same suits fitted him differently from Edward’s. Jordan didn’t look like a president that Edward had shown from the inside out. He was still a prince.
Jordan looked at Nelissa through the window, extremely gloomy. Nelissa felt uncomfortable because of his gaze. She knew that it was difficult to see her through the BMW window, so Jordan should not be able to see her. He didn’t know what was going on with his hostile eyes.
Nelissa looked away uneasily and said to Penelope, “I won’t get off the car. Tell him.”
Penelope said that she could give it to her, then she opened the door and got out of the car. She stepped on a pair of high-heeled shoes and Jordan was talking not far from the car.
In the car, Nelissa couldn’t hear what they were saying, but she could guess something from the agitated expression of Penelope and Jordan’s increasingly impatient expression.
She estimated that they would talk for a long time and then she would use her mobile phone to increase the data flow. She thought,
Jordan was the Crown Prince of Haleston City Hotel. That night, she and Edward stayed in the suite. A cleaner and a female manager cleaned the suite inside. There were very obvious signs of love on the two beds.
This was a flaw. It would be difficult for Jordan to settle this matter.
Out of Nelissa’s expectation, Penelope and Jordan seemed to have finished their ten-minute talk. The haze on Jordan’s face eased a lot. He glanced at Penelope and walked to Nelissa’s car. He raised his hand and tapped on the window of her car. The former handsome teenager became a handsome man.
Nelissa didn’t move in the carriage, waiting for him to do something.
Jordan impatiently repeatedly tapped the window and then pulled the door button. She had to get out of the car from the inside and avoid his strange eyes. “What else?”
Nelissa truly didn’t feel too good towards Jordan. She had always been bullied by him in high school, so even though she didn’t bear a grudge against him, she still wasn’t that friendly.
“Dance completed. This time, it’s my fault.” Jordan rarely apologized. He reached out and rubbed the back of his neck, and his handsome face was somewhat uncomfortable.
He clenched his fists and could not help but question Nelissa, “There’s something I want to clarify. Why did you stand me up back then?”
Nelissa furrowed her brows and turned to Jordan. “What do you think I’ll stand you up?”
Jordan pulled his lips and laughed. It was not a pleasant smile, but a mockery. Nelissa had already forgotten it, and only he still remembered it. “When we were in high school, I met you at the gate of the cinema. You promised me that you would come, but you didn’t show up until the end. You didn’t even go back to school and just disappeared from the world.”
