Chapter 211
At noon the next day.
A man dressed like a courier put an envelope into an email box of her home. At this time, she had already gone out and headed for the airport in Haleston City.
At the same time.
Edward was wearing a suit and attending a business press conference of the group. He was also facing a large number of reporters and media reporters. This was the first time he had responded to the scandal from yesterday and clarified his relationship with Sophie, which was not bound by morality. He did not cheat or meet any women.
She had been single with Sophie before, but now she was just a “friend” whom she had known for a long time.
The woman who was intimate with him in the photo was his girlfriend. She also said that she asked the media not to pay attention to his private life and his girlfriend’s private life. Next time when there was a similar scene, he would not clarify it verbally, but would directly use his lawyer to sue her.
After all, Edward was not a celebrity. He was just a businessman and had no obligation to expand his private life and entertain some people.
As Edward stood in front of the reporters for the first time to clarify his scandal, his attitude was completely different from the high-profile attitude he had in the past. The video also spread on Weibo, which made it more popular and unexpected.
They all thought that Edward was doing this for fun. It turned out that he had already parted ways with his fiancee, Sophie, and now he had a new girlfriend. Maybe they were in love. The hormones of adults were mature, and it was not against the law to take a kiss on the street when they were in deep love.
Originally, Edward was the husband and wife of the female netizens. Now, he was even more righteous and spoke for Edward. Yesterday, he said that he was a cross-legged man, and he said that he wanted to show his identity as a woman, but his voice was covered.
In the video, Edward was wearing a formal dark suit and attending a high-end press conference. He was handsome and noble. In front of many media reporters, he talked about wisdom and calmness. He was like a big shot. His appearance was so high that it could be seen. He also had a lot of fans.
There were also many online media who were deeply guessing what Edward had said, and listed a line of Edward, Sophie, and the mysterious woman’s emotional changes.
Maybe half a month ago, Edward had proposed to break up with Sophie. After that, Sophie had shown off her love to the media many times, but Edward had been silent in front of the media. It was probably because Sophie wanted to save her ex-boyfriend. The biggest reason why Edward broke up with Sophie was that he might have fallen in love with someone else. Therefore, less than half a month after the break-up, Edward had a new girlfriend and quickly fell into love.
The relationship between the rich and powerful could be played in a series of dramas.
On Friday night.
Edward finished the whole day’s work. When he left the group and got on the car, he received a call from Mikaelson. “Well, I just got off work. Let’s go home for dinner…” He raised his wrist and looked at the diamond watch. “Okay, I’m coming now.”
The call ended.
Edward opened the door and got in the car. He put the suit jacket on his elbow on the passenger seat next to him and started the luxury car to leave. On the way, he called Nelissa and told her that he would come tonight.
“Then, are you having dinner? I’ve just received it for Nathan and I’m buying food in the supermarket.” Nelissa pushed a shopping cart. Nathan later, beside her, Nelissa piled up the potato candy and her favorite cheese in the shopping cart and bought a bag of dog snacks for the young master.
Nelissa moved her phone away and whispered to the two babies, “Enough, enough. After you finish eating, you will become little fat.”
Noelle was still holding a bucket of little bear biscuits, refusing to let go. “No, my brother and I are thin.”
As she spoke, Noelle pinched her little brother’s little face. There was no meat on it. She reluctantly let her sister pinch him for Nathan and took his little school bag in a cool way.
Nelissa saw that her son seemed to have grown taller. She patted his head and said, “Let’s go home and measure your height.”
He had been short of interest for Nathan and thought he was too short.
Edward kept turning on the speaker to listen to the conversation between Nelissa and the two kids. His thin lips curved into a smile. His little wife was very cute. He turned a corner at the intersection in front of him and said, “I can’t come to have dinner. I have to go home.”
Nelissa replied with an “oh” and understood him. “I see. You can go.”
Edward raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is that all?”
Nelissa picked up a cabbage. “Huh?” Otherwise?
Edward’s voice was low and soft. “Call me.”
Nelissa was taken aback. She asked tentatively, “Edward?”
Edward, however, was not satisfied. He said coolly, “What else?”
Nelissa pursed her lips. Noelle looked up at her for Nathan and picked a cabbage for a long time. She whispered, “… Noelle has been watching for Nathan.”
“Then let’s keep talking on the phone.” The voice of the man on the other end of the line carried a smile as he spoke in a somewhat shameless manner.
“Honey.” Nelissa called him obediently. She was afraid of him. She was worried that he would drive and talk on the phone. How could he always be on the line? No way.
Edward nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, very obedient.” He added, “I’ll come over at night. Wait for me.”
The man’s breath was slightly heavy.
After hanging up the phone, Nelissa’s heart skipped a beat. She calculated that he had only asked for it at noon yesterday, and he had done it the day before yesterday. In addition, they had been busy with her period a few days ago, so he had done it twice this week…
She didn’t know how much it was, how little it was, or how small it was.
At dinner, Nelissa bought a few cabbage and two frozen fish, and then bought some pork. She pushed the shopping cart to the cashier to pay the bill.
Nathan later, she raised her head and asked her mother, “Was that a call from Dad?”
Nelissa nodded in line. “Yes.”
Nathan later, he asked coldly, “Is he coming tonight?”
“You’re smart.” Nelissa gave her son a look of praise.
After raising his eyebrows for Nathan, he said proudly, “Then my sister and I will sleep late tonight.”
Two times, Edward came too late. Noelle had already gone to bed Nathan ago. Edward saw them, but they didn’t see their father. The next morning, they just met each other in a hurry and went to school. They didn’t have enough time to chat.
Noelle missed Edward for Nathan.
Nelissa allowed them to sleep late. Anyway, they didn’t have to go to school on the weekend tomorrow, but she said, “Of course.” She looked at the two little babies and said with a smile, “But you can hold on for a long time.”
“Hmph!” The older he grew, the more arrogant he became. When Nelissa teased him, he used to retort in a childish voice, but now he just had a handsome face.
Thinking of how cool her son would be in the future, Nelissa couldn’t help feeling sad. How could he find a wife when he was so cool?
He paid the bill and left the supermarket.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Nelissa walked home with two large bags. Noelle was very obedient in the past Nathan. She didn’t need the adults to hold her hands and follow her mother.
Tonight, Jolene wasn’t there. He was preparing to jump into trouble. After work, he had been keeping in touch with Wang Yian in private to communicate with him.
Back home, Nelissa washed her hands and prepared to cook.
In the past Nathan, there was a show that she wanted to catch up with. She took her homework out of the living room and wrote while watching TV. The pencil moved very fast. When Nelissa took something, she took a careful look at it. There was nothing wrong with it. It was very good.
Edward returned to the Hales family home. The kitchen was not ready yet, and Donald had not come back yet. Han Penelope was also here. Norah was sneering at her, but when she saw Edward coming, she restrained herself a little.
When Donald was not around, Norah did not dare to provoke him.
“Uncle, have some tea.” Han Penelope called out.
There was a tea table with more than 100, 000 roots in the Hales family’s villa. It was engraved with dragons and phoenixes. It was lifelike and exquisite. It was placed in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass. The view was very vast outside. It was very elegant to enjoy the scenery on rainy days. Mikaelson liked to sit here and drink tea.
At this time, Han Penelope poured a cup of tea for her uncle, Edward. Seeing him sit down casually and take the cup, she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She had seen the video of this afternoon, and she knew that the new girlfriend that her uncle admitted should be Nelissa.
Mikaelson came downstairs and saw that there was no one else to eat, so he called Edward, “Come with me for a walk.”
“Okay.” Edward put down the teacup and got up, leaving with Mikaelson.
They were not taking a walk in their own garden. When they went out of the villa, there was a tree-lined path. It was quiet and cool in summer, and there were almost no pedestrians. There were only a few families living here, and they were all rich.
Mikaelson held his dragon head cane and walked away. He glanced at Edward and said, “Do you think that I won’t watch the news on the Internet when I’m free at home? Although I don’t watch those people from all walks of life, I know everything about you. You always like to cut off first and report later, so that people can’t do anything to you, but you don’t know how many people regard you as a thorn in their side. Today, you distanced yourself from Sophie in front of the reporters in the afternoon, which indirectly slapped the Bailey family in the face.”
“You, you are blinded by love. The Bailey family has been friends with us for so many years, but you don’t give us any face? After all, Sophie is the sister of Sean. You were the one who got engaged to her. Now that you are not willing to get married, we will be in the wrong if Ryan finds out.”
Edward kicked away a stone at his feet, and his tone was arrogant and indifferent. “Uncle Bo and I have met, so he should not have time to investigate this matter now. Besides, he needs to ask Sophie herself to investigate it. Sophie is not in Haleston City now. She’s gone.”
Mikaelson frowned and asked, “He left? Why?”
Edward first shook his head. “He said he was going to do a public job.” He frowned and looked into the distance of the path. His voice became deeper and deeper. “I heard that Uncle Bo wants to have a DNA test with her.”
After hearing this, Mikaelson was silent for a moment. The fights between the rich and the powerful were complicated. The more sophisticated a person was, the more thoughtful he would be. Fighting in the open and fighting in the dark was just a small matter. Sometimes, it was unnecessary for him to kill a person by himself. But after the result was revealed, it was another shocking conspiracy.
He warned Edward, “Don’t get involved in this matter. If Sophie is really not Ryan’s daughter, this is a years-old scam. It’s very troublesome.”
