Chapter 63
Looking at Edward’s clothes, Nelissa took a deep breath and sent the cleaner away. “It’s good that I’m here. You should pack up for the outside.”
She took Edward’s clothes off the clothes rack, folded them one by one, and put men’s underwear between them.
She took the folded clothes and went out. There was a spare clothes bag in Edward’s luggage just now. She put the clothes he had worn into it.
After a while.
The cleaner was done with work. “Miss, the room has been cleaned. I wish you a happy honeymoon with your husband.”
What honeymoon? Nelissa stared in disbelief.
The room was a wedding suite. Edward didn’t pay much attention to it when he entered. It was actually the assistant Andrew’s room. The hotel was at its peak season and had no other business suite. There was a wedding suite that cost three times the price.
Nelissa was confused. She poured herself a glass of water to drink. After drinking one glass after another, she felt more clear-headed.
She bent her fingers and knocked on her forehead lightly. She was abnormal, abnormal, she was too abnormal! It was just a man’s pursuit, why her mood had been dazzled by him, and why couldn’t she pretend nothing happened?
She walked to the French window where she could enjoy the scenery of Haleston City. Her forehead was pressed against the cold glass, and her eyebrows were thick with smoke. She sighed.
Everyone could do it, except for Edward!
She and Edward were two completely unrelated people. It used to be like this, but now it was even more so!
What’s more, there was a deep grudge between them. Nobody knew when it would be exposed. It was very dangerous!
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Nelissa’s eyes were filled with confusion that even she didn’t know. Edward came back from Ocean City this time. Did he return empty-handed, or had he found Anna to hide, or handed him to the Bailey family? Soon, Sean would come back…
“Did you keep this girl here just to save your life?”
“I didn’t expect her to know that I lost control. Edward, I am very angry. Anna likes you!”
“Find the girl and cover her mouth immediately! If you don’t want to be exposed!”
It turned out that the man who spoke outside at that time was Edward!
Nelissa was lying on the sofa waiting for Edward to come back to talk about business, but the person waiting for her was his assistant Andrew.
“Miss Nelissa, Young Mr. Hales’s contract has been signed. However, Sophie is here. She and Young Mr. Hales are having dinner at the restaurant downstairs. They also invite you to join them for dinner.” Andrew said as he looked Nelissa up and down. He was neither arrogant nor humble, nor did he show any jealousy or displeasure. He was still quiet and just right.
Andrew’s impression of Nelissa had been changing. He knew that Nelissa was Young Mr. Hales’s new favorite, but Nelissa’s performance was more like a natural and graceful noble lady, not like a money-admiring girl with a beautiful face.
Her love rival was here, but she did not even change her expression. She was dismissive of her?
Sophie knew that Edward had returned to Haleston City today. She also knew that he had asked a contract to sign it at a hotel over there. As such, she had chosen a suitable time to book a room for dinner. When Edward had signed the contract, she would have lunch with him. Knowing that Nelissa was there as well, she was especially enthusiastic and insisted on inviting Nelissa to dinner with her.
In fact, Nelissa didn’t want to go, but Andrew had invited her generously. She didn’t have to hide in the room and play gloomily. She was not guilty at all.
Edward was the one who felt guilty. He was the one who forcefully kissed her, so there was no need for her to place the blame on herself.
Furthermore, in rich and powerful families, there were plenty of such things. A down and out young lady like her was used to seeing Sikong Yan, much less Edward and Sophie.
Nelissa followed Andrew downstairs. Outside the dining room, the beautiful Sophie was talking on her phone. When she saw them, she quickly hung up.
With a calm expression, she smiled at Nelissa and said, “Miss Quest, what a coincidence.”
Nelissa smiled back and said, “I have an appointment with Mr. Hales to talk about the contract here.”
“Come in and eat. It’s not too late to talk after eating,” said Sophie as she opened the door to the dining room. She entered and naturally sat beside Edward as she spoke to him.
Nelissa went in and sat at a position that was a little further away from them. The boundary between the host and the guest was very clear.
She looked at them and didn’t talk to them. She was lazy.
Edward’s good-looking hand kept playing with the goblets, and Nelissa caught it just as the light in the depths of his eyes swirled.
The dishes were soon served.
During the meal, Nelissa quietly ate crystal dishes. At this time, the people in the hotel came in with a bottle of red wine, opened a bottle in front of them, poured wine for the three of them one by one, and then went out.
Edward picked up the goblet and looked at it with his slender fingers swaying gently.
“Miss Quest, I apologize to you seriously for what I said before. Edward has already said about me, and I accept your criticism. Please don’t take it to heart.” While talking and laughing, she picked up her glass and motioned to Nelissa, “Cheers up to let go of our hatred.”
Edward had talked about Sophie? Nelissa raised her brows and looked at them in disbelief. She still couldn’t figure out their way of getting along. It was weird!
She picked up her own wine glass and saw Edward shaking the glass. Suddenly, she stared at her closely and got up. The three men’s glasses clinked and drank. She didn’t know if they could end this bad relationship.
After drinking, he continued to eat.
Sophie’s cell phone rang. She went out to answer the phone. Very soon, she came back and said that there were students fighting at the school. Blood seemed to be a little serious and she had to rush back to take care of it.
“Edward, I’m leaving first.” Sophie kissed Edward’s side profile. The man’s skin was slightly warm. The room he ate was cold and not cool enough.
After she left, Edward frowned and put down her ivory chopsticks. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her face and got up to call Nelissa, “No more, follow me up.”
Nelissa looked at the dishes on the table, which were quite wasteful, but she didn’t have much appetite, so she left with Edward. Andrew stayed to pay the bill, and Edward told him to do something.
Entering the elevator, in the narrow space, the air became thin and filled with heat.
Edward’s tall body leaned against the wall, and her slender fingers with distinct joints were placed on it. She looked down and groped around, looking strangely sexy.
Nelissa was watching the red number of the elevator rising layer by layer. Through the reflection of the mirror, she could see that the tall man next to her was staring at her.
Nelissa turned her head and saw that Edward didn’t even bother to avoid her. He simply stared at her openly, his burning sensation strong.
Nelissa’s heart beat wildly as she met his gaze. Edward’s gaze became more and more wild and unrestrained!
“Ding!” When the elevator arrived, Nelissa returned to her senses. She followed Edward out of the elevator, swiped her card, and returned to the hotel suite.
As soon as she closed the door, Nelissa was dragged to the wall by a strong force from behind. Fortunately, the man held the back of her head and did not hit her, but it scared her!Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t…” Before Nelissa could finish her sentence, Edward couldn’t wait to grab hold of her small mouth and use his male body to press down on her. He was practically kissing her forcefully with a rudeness.
His thin lips were so hot that Nelissa’s body kept trembling. This was different from the violent kiss just now. It was very crazy, as if he had no reason to grab her and use force!
“Edward, stop fooling around!” Nelissa’s bag fell to the ground. The high heels’ feet were kicking him, causing him to even more violently touch her.
“It hurts, you hurt me!” Nelissa’s eyes turned red because of Edward’s grip. Her lips were numb and painful because of his touch. She sobbed softly, “Edward, it hurts… I really hurts.”
“I am in more pain than you!” Edward gasped hoarsely in front of Nelissa’s lips. His handsome face was flushed red with desire. His eyes were also filled with a crimson color like that of a vampire.
Edward still let go of Nelissa. It was obvious that it hurt so much that he almost couldn’t bear the desire, but somehow his heart softened and let go of her.
He walked into the room and fell heavily on the soft big bed. The effect of the medicine was spreading and it was not under the control of rationality at all!
“What’s wrong with you?” Nelissa didn’t dare to approach the bed, but when she saw Edward’s expression, she felt that something wasn’t right!
“The glass has been filled with medicine. I’ll replace your glass with mine.” Edward had taken precautions against her when she insisted on inviting Nelissa to dinner. As such, when she went out to answer the phone call, he switched his own glass with Nelissa’s.
It was not about the wine, but the wine glass!
There must have been spies in Nelissa’s company. They should have known that Nelissa was there, so they had set up a trap for her.
“What, what medicine?” Nelissa took a deep breath. Was it made by Sophie?
“You drugged me.” Edward’s voice was hoarse. She pulled her tie with her fingers and her black shirt was wet with sweat.
She was very sexy in bed.
“Then then… I’ll find someone to come!” Nelissa was also so nervous that she was on tenterhooks. This was the first time she had encountered something like this. She felt that her face was as red as Edward’s.
“Who are you looking for?” Edward laughed hoarsely as he stared at Nelissa’s exquisite body like a tiger. “I only need a woman to put down the fire!”
Nelissa froze, and then she thought of something.
“I have, I have!” She bent down, opened her own bag that had fallen to the ground, and poured out all the things inside. Sure enough, she found the business card that Yvonne gave her before and forgot to throw it away.
If she called Yvonne now, then Edward and Yvonne, then…
Nelissa’s heart started to beat faster and harder.
“What do you have?!” Edward growled through gritted teeth. His bloodshot eyes stared at Nelissa, and his thin lips were red. “Do you want to find a woman to put down the fire for me? Push me to the woman before you can run away at ease? Who are you looking for? Merely the female hotel lady?”
“Maybe it’s useless. I can guarantee that she’s still in this hotel. Since you left so soon, she will definitely come to me, and then I will go to bed with her.”
“You can go now! But after today, I will treat you as my enemy!”
