Pampered Like A Princess

Chapter 131



Today, Han Penelope and Norah came to the hospital to visit Mikaelson. After the visit, they happened to meet Zayden and Nelissa, who were in the same hospital as them. Behind Han Penelope, Norah said in a sharp voice, “Do you still think I’m an elder when you walk so fast? There’s no courtesy at all. Mr. Hales asked you to go home for dinner.”

Han Penelope was very annoyed with Norah. She didn’t like this woman at all.

Norah followed them into the elevator. Her eyes swept over Nelissa, and she was obviously stunned.

Nelissa sighed in her heart. The path of enemies was narrow, and Edward, her stepmother, knew her. She was afraid that what Norah said would be overheard by Penelope and Zayden.

Norah looked at Zayden and called him, “Zayden, why are you in the hospital? Have you been too busy with work recently?”

“Huh?” Nelissa frowned and was stunned.

Zayden said calmly, “No, I’m just here to see someone.”

Penelope couldn’t help but interrupt in surprise. “You… you know each other?”

“My aunt,” Zayden said. Then, he said in a gentle and warm voice, “Norah, my mother’s younger sister.”

Not to mention Han Penelope’s surprise, Nelissa had known Zayden for so many years. It was the first time that she heard that he had an aunt. Nelissa always thought that he had no relatives except for a mother.

Norah was Zayden’s aunt, so wasn’t… the relationship between Zayden and Edward… in name?

Nelissa was scared out of her wits.

“Don’t you want to introduce the people around you?” Norah naturally recognized Nelissa. Last time in Mikaelson’s ward, Nelissa was from Edward’s side. Now she was holding hands with Zayden.

Norah didn’t mention what had happened last time for the time being. She still couldn’t figure out which side Nelissa was on.

“My childhood sweetheart.” Zayden gave a simple introduction, which was enough to show his intimacy with Nelissa. Next to him, Han Penelope’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Norah didn’t know much about Zayden’s relationship. She only knew that his girlfriend and fiancee were the daughter of Quest Group, Susan. She didn’t care about anything else.

The age gap between Norah and Zayden’s mother was very big. The two sisters were not close. Later, Zayden’s mother had a child without getting married and lived a poor life. Norah simply did not contact them, so as not to ask for money and get into trouble. Unexpectedly, Zayden was successful. He jumped out of the financial predicament and became the new CEO of the group. With the help of the rich daughter, he was worth much more. He was a rising star in Haleston City.

Norah had only been in contact with Zayden for nearly one or two years. Both sides had their purposes.

Norah wanted her only nephew, Zayden, to support her family, while Zayden wanted to cooperate with the Hales Group.

Norah suggested, “Why don’t you come to my house to have dinner together with your uncle-in-law?”

Zayden’s eyes flickered. Norah’s current husband was Donald, so he didn’t refuse. “Okay.” Holding Nelissa’s little white hand, he said, “Come with me. You didn’t even have lunch today. Are you hungry?”

Nelissa shook her head. Norah’s family was not Edward’s home. Norah’s husband was Edward’s father. She was going crazy at the thought of it. “I’m not hungry. I have to go back to the company. You go on your own.”

Nelissa was very perfunctory, and Zayden’s handsome face was slightly tensed. Looking at the subtle interaction between the two, Han Penelope thought that they were still in an awkward relationship after they got married? Han Penelope forced a smile and tried to persuade Nelissa, “It’s almost time to get off work, why are you still going back? Come with me, just take it as accompanying me. In the past, you always refused to come to my house, but now it’s such a coincidence. Why are you still not willing to come?”

“Penelope…” Nelissa was in a dilemma.

“Come on, I’ll take it as a yes.” Han Penelope held Nelissa’s left hand, and Zayden held her right hand. The three of them must be injured.

Nelissa’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked up and glanced at the reflection of the mirror. She pretended not to see Penelope peeping at Zayden…

The elevator went down to the first floor. Norah went out first. The driver was already waiting at the gate of the hospital. It was still raining outside. There was a spare umbrella in the driver’s car.

Zayden asked for one of them, and Nelissa took the opportunity to get rid of his hand. Her movements were so obvious that Han Penelope, who was beside her, also saw it.

Zayden was not angry. He opened the umbrella and looked as gentle as jade in the rain. He told Nelissa carefully, “I’ll drive the car out first. Wait for me.” After that, Zayden was still worried and said to Penelope, “You can also take my car.”

“Okay.” Han Penelope smiled and agreed. “We’ll wait for you here.”

“Mm.” Zayden picked up the car with an umbrella. His back was tall and handsome.

Norah was in the car to avoid the rain and didn’t like wet weather. She asked the driver to wait for a moment and wait for Zayden’s car to catch up. She took out her mobile phone and called back to the Han’s villa. She asked the auntie to ask the chef in the kitchen to prepare a rich dinner tonight. She had relatives to come over for dinner.

Then he called her husband, Donald, and mentioned her nephew, Zayden. Only then did he know that Edward would come home for dinner on a business trip tonight.

Norah pursed her lips and clicked on the name brand on her purse. “Well, let Edward know that Norah also has a family to rely on!”

Nelissa’s eyes looked at the drizzle outside. Penelope held her hand and kept talking. She didn’t listen and her vision was blurred.

“Why didn’t you say anything? Why are you unhappy?” Han Penelope asked tentatively. Was it because of her guilty conscience?

Nelissa frowned slightly and turned to look at Penelope. “Penelope, I don’t want to go. I really don’t want to go.”

Penelope quickly held Nelissa’s hand tightly and said, “No, I promised you just now. If you don’t go, I will lose face. You don’t know my family’s situation. That woman is not a good-for-nothing. I don’t understand why Zayden has such a aunt. You didn’t tell me before!”

Of course, Nelissa didn’t understand. “I just found out.”

Penelope was confused. “It’s really strange! Have you never seen Norah before?”

It was hard to say whether Nelissa had seen her before or met her in Edward’s grandfather’s ward. What did she say? It was better not to say.

Penelope was very curious about Nelissa. “Have you reconciled with Zayden?”

Nelissa was in a bad mood when she mentioned him, so she didn’t want to mention it anymore. “No.”

Penelope snorted and didn’t believe her. “You lied to me. You were holding hands just now. Just pretend that I didn’t see it.”

Nelissa: “…”

Han Penelope earnestly said, “I know you must still be angry with him, but make peace with him first, and then torture him slowly. You had an argument with him in such a cold war, but in the end, it was not other women who benefited from him. It’s all your fault. You let the child and his father reconcile with each other and drive away the pretentious Susan. At that time, I will definitely buy the media to make a headline for you and expose her. How can she be the most beautiful woman in Haleston City?”

Nelissa held her forehead with a headache and pressed her small and white fingertips on her forehead. She couldn’t help but tell Han Penelope the truth. “Penelope, my two children are actually not…”

“The car is here.” Han Penelope interrupted her with a calm voice.

Nelissa pursed her lips slightly, and Zayden’s white luxury car stopped in front of them. He got out of the car and carefully held the umbrella for Nelissa. He opened the door of the passenger seat and let Nelissa get in the car. Then he gave the umbrella to Han Penelope, and he got in the car with Xiaoyu.

Han Penelope held an umbrella in her hand, and it seemed that there was still the warmth of Zayden’s hand. She held the umbrella and got into the car. She sat in the back seat separated from the driver’s seat. Looking at Zayden and Nelissa in front of her, just like in high school, Zayden would hand the handkerchief to Nelissa and let her wipe it.

Every time, Nelissa would help him wipe his wet handsome face with tender feelings.

But now, Nelissa did not accept Zayden.

The car started, and Zayden’s luxury car followed Norah’s private car all the way to the Han’s villa.

It was getting dark in the rain, and street lamps were already on both sides of the road. The shadows of passers-by’s umbrellas were everywhere. The front end of the car was swaying, and Nelissa was watching in a daze.

“Is Norah really your aunt?” Han Penelope suddenly asked Zayden, breaking the silence in the car.

“Yes,” Zayden replied. He was acquainted with Penelope because of her, so he was not familiar with her. While driving, he explained to Nelissa, “I’ve only been in touch with her recently, so you didn’t know her before.”

Nelissa nodded and thought about it. Zayden’s previous environment was not very good. It was estimated that his relatives would be worried about borrowing money when they saw him and would not be willing to have any dealings with him. She had tasted this kind of feeling. Sometimes, distant relatives were really not as good as distant relatives.

The problem was that she didn’t know that there was such a relationship between Edward and Zayden. Did Edward know that Zayden was Norah’s nephew? Alas.

At this moment, the phone in Nelissa’s bag rang. She took it out to take a look and thought it was a call from Jolene. Although he had already asked for leave, Jolene was still a little worried.

It turned out to be a call from Edward!

Nelissa was so frightened that she clutched her phone tightly and blocked the screen, afraid that Penelope, who was sitting behind her, would see the caller ID.

The ringtone continued to ring, and Zayden’s eyes fell on her. Nelissa braced herself to pick up Edward’s phone and lowered her voice. “Hello.”

Edward’s magnetic and pleasant voice rang out. “I just got off the plane. I’m back today.”

Nelissa replied stiffly, “Yes.”

Edward frowned. As soon as he got off the plane, he called Nelissa, thinking that she would be happy and enthusiastic to him. He looked at Sophie, who was not far behind him, and handed the luggage to Andrew. He quickened his steps and asked Nelissa, “Where are you? Have you gotten off work?”

Nelissa nodded again. Zayden and Penelope were in the car, so she couldn’t pretend to be intimate with them. She told Edward honestly, “I’m with Penelope.”

Edward’s brows twitched slightly. “Where are we going?”

Nelissa said, “Come home with her for dinner.” She didn’t mention Zayden. Edward lived outside, so she shouldn’t often go home for dinner. She guessed.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Edward looked at the front of the airport exit with a strange look. The rain outside was getting heavier. Behind him, Sophie followed him and came to his side. She said with a smile, “Edward, are you talking to your father on the phone?”

“I’m hanging up.” Edward’s voice was gentle and gentle.

The look on Sophie’s face changed instantly. It was a woman on the other end of the line!
