Chapter 258
Han Penelope wanted to go to the hospital to visit Nelissa, but she completely forgot that she had been arguing with Nelissa before. “Which hospital does she live in?”
“Rongguang.” Edward raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, “It’s too late now. Don’t bother her tonight. I’ll call you at noon tomorrow and you’ll come.”
Penelope nodded in agreement with Edward’s arrangement.
It was getting late. Edward went back after chatting with Han Penelope. Assistant Andrew was waiting for him in the luxury car. He opened the door of the back seat for him. He stepped into the car and leaned on the leather sofa, looking sideways at the night scene of the city under the mountainside. In a distant and straight direction, he knew that there was a woman waiting for him to go back.
Andrew sat in the driver’s seat and fastened his seat belt. He heard Edward’s magnetic voice and said, “Go to the hospital.”
“Yes.” Andrew immediately understood. Recently, Young Mr. Hales stayed in the hospital to accompany Miss Nelissa every day. There were some work that had to be dealt with, and it was he who sent them to the hospital to sign for Young Mr. Hales.
Young Mr. Hales couldn’t leave Miss Nelissa at all, and he loved her very much. Yesterday morning, Miss Nelissa was ill and had a low fever, which made people anxious. Her face had always been calm and her temper was very different. He just happened to send a document over and hit the muzzle, which scared him out of cold sweat.
Fortunately, this morning, Nelissa’s fever had subsided and she had recovered a lot of energy. Thus, Young Mr. Hales would not delay Mikaelson’s 80th birthday party.
As Andrew drove the car, he was distracted and thought that maybe after this year, Nelissa would become Edward’s wife. Judging from the current situation, she was on fire and could not be stopped.
The relationship between Young Mr. Hales and Nelissa was very deep. In addition, Noelle had been Young Mr. Hales’s illegitimate child for Nathan. As long as Nelissa succeeded in getting the title of Young Mr. Hales’s wife, it would be a perfect performance of the reality version of Cinderella as a princess fairy tale.
Andrew looked forward to it.
Edward closed the window and let the natural wind blow in. The smell of alcohol on his body dissipated. He was a little tipsy and leaned lazily on the back of the sofa. His slender fingers slipped into the tie and gently loosened. The street view outside the window shifted step by step. There were colorful lights in the shop, and the air blew a faint fragrance.
Edward suddenly said, “Stop the car.”
Andrew reacted quickly and parked the car on the side of the road, obeying his boss’s orders.
Edward opened the door, got out of the car with his long legs straight, and walked to a flower shop that was open for 24 hours across the street. In front of the flower shop, there were several unique vases with colorful flowers in them.
Edward opened the door of the flower shop. With a “ding ding” sound, the young innkeeper looked at the door and saw a tall man in a stylish suit. He was very handsome. His face reflected the light, and the outline of his face faded. He looked a little handsome. The man’s eyes were lazy and casual, a little sexy.
The innkeeper greeted him warmly, “Welcome. What kind of flowers do you want?”
Edward asked for a bunch of roses.
The landlady packed a bunch of roses for him with the most beautiful silk ribbon. She asked curiously, “For your girlfriend?”
Edward usually wouldn’t answer the private questions of strangers, but maybe because he drank tonight, he was in a good mood at this time. He thought of his woman, Nelissa. After her fever subsided this morning, the first thing he said to him was, “Thank you for your hard work, husband.”
Her soft lips gently kissed the corner of his lips.
She was very obedient.
Edward curled his thin lips and said gently, “Give it to my wife.”
The innkeeper felt deeply sorry. It was rare to meet such a good-looking man in the middle of the night. He already had a wife. Now, all the good-looking men were very popular. They competed with those who were 90 years later. The beautiful women who had been together for a few years also joined the battlefield. It was too difficult to find a man who could show off in front of relatives and friends.
Edward paid the bill and left with a bunch of beautiful roses. He stood on the side of the road and raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was past 11 o’clock, and Nelissa probably slept when she went to the hospital. He didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to go to the flower shop to buy flowers. But the moment he passed by, he thought that Nelissa liked roses, so he got out of the car to buy them.
Although it was a little weird to take her to the hospital, she did not regret it.
Back in the car, Edward tied up the roses and closed his eyes to rest. Andrew drove slowly and smoothly. After crossing a bridge, he arrived at the Jung Hospital in about 30 minutes.
After Edward got out of the car, Andrew went back first.
When Edward went to Nelissa’s senior ward, he heard the sound of TV as soon as he pushed the door open. Nelissa was leaning against the back of the bed, holding a large white apple in her two small white hands. She was watching TV and eating. Her slightly moist lips were plump and delicious, as tender as if she could pinch water.
The opening and closing were silent and tempting.
Edward’s eyes darkened. He closed the door behind him and locked it. “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
“I’m waiting for you to come back,” Nelissa said and turned to look at him. Her gentle eyes were black and white.
Edward’s heart skipped a beat. It was soft and itchy. He walked over and held a bunch of bright roses in his noble hands. His figure, wrapped in a black suit, was tall and straight. His whole style was eye-catching.
Just now, Nelissa’s attention was still on the movie, only to find that Edward had brought back a bunch of flowers. She was surprised. “It’s for me?”
Edward paused and said, “No, I bought it casually.” Looking at Nelissa’s pitiful and lovely look, he curled his lips and asked happily, “Do you like it?”
Nelissa replied softly, “Yes.”
Edward smiled deeply and charmingly. “Then I’ll give it to you.”
Nelissa quickly picked her up and took a bite of the apple. She felt that this man was too mean. He was obviously giving it to her. Otherwise, who else could he give her when he came to the hospital with a bunch of roses in the middle of the night? He liked to play tricks on her.
“It smells so good.” Nelissa lowered her head and smelled it. The tip of her nose swept over the soft petals. The next moment, Edward raised her face with his strong big hand and raised his eyebrows at her. “There are thorns. Don’t pierce my face.”
Nelissa said in a low voice, “I’m not burying myself in the thorns.” She smiled and said, “But you’re really strange. No one comes to the hospital with roses. It’s not a romantic occasion.”
Edward didn’t take it seriously. He said, “There’s no need for that. As long as you like it.”
Nelissa smiled slowly and said, “Yes, I like it very much.” She looked up and kissed Edward’s masculine chin. She said softly, “Thank you, honey.”
“How are you going to thank me?” Edward teased her intentionally, his voice sounding a little evil.
Seeing that Nelissa was in a daze, he lowered his head, his face approaching her little by little, with a faint charming smell of alcohol. When their lips were about to meet, Nelissa put the apple in her hand between them, pressed against Edward’s thin lips, and looked straight at her with her overbearing eyes.
Her heart beat faster and she said, “Have a try. It’s very sweet.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
