Chapter 247
After a moment of silence, Edward suddenly smiled coldly. Nelissa looked at him. He patiently taught her, “I have lived there for several years, but I have never met anyone who asked me about the way.”
“Huh?” Nelissa didn’t understand and frowned.
Edward touched her head lovingly and told her, “Because when the villa area is planned, every district has a road sign. Every 100 meters there is a sign. There is a detailed map at the entrance of the villa area. There is no need to ask anyone.”
In fact, the more luxurious the residential area was, the more convenience it was. In such a large area, it was impossible to lack signs and road signs. One could see it in a few steps, and he could not find a road at all.
Nelissa had been to Edward’s residence several times and saw a lot of road signs showing the map, but she mostly went there in the evening or in his car, so she didn’t take these details to heart.
Since this was the case, why did he have to find someone to ask for directions? After all, there were different types of residential areas in the villa area. It was not easy to meet people upstairs and downstairs. Some residents were idle when they bought villas and rarely went back to live, so the environment was very quiet.
Thinking about it now, Nelissa also felt that the coincidence was too strange. A terrible idea came to her mind and she blurted out, “Is the woman who asked for directions blocking my way?”
Perhaps before that, that person had been wandering outside for a long time and had been waiting for her to appear.
Edward frowned. “That’s possible.” He lowered his head and looked at Nelissa with a solemn expression. “It’s also possible that she’s trying to stop me. That’s where I live. She knows that I live there. It should be someone I know.”
Edward was in a gloomy mood. He could not accept that Nelissa was injured because of him. He hated himself.
He controlled his emotions and said to Yi Fan, “At the entrance of the villa area, everyone must have a record when entering. If it’s anyone other than the residents, it must be on the record. Go and find the record of that day.” He wanted to come to the villa area with a powerful background, so the police might not be able to get the record immediately. He could only say, “I’ll go with you later.”
Nelissa looked up at him.
Edward lowered his head and smiled at her. His thin lips curled up sexily, and his handsome eyes were sincere and gentle. He said to her in a magnetic voice, “After you lose your blood, take a nap at noon. When you wake up, I’ll be back. I won’t be away from you for too long.”
Nelissa blushed a little and glanced at the others subconsciously. However, the guy avoided looking at the scenery outside the window. She poked Edward’s chest with her fingers, but she couldn’t use her strength, as if she was scratching him.
Edward’s throat tightened from being scratched by her, and his gaze was deep.
Nelissa whispered, “I’m not a three-year-old child.” Then she smiled and said, “Go ahead. There are bodyguards outside and this is a hospital. I’ll be fine.”
Hearing this, Edward was a little unhappy. “He doesn’t need bodyguards anymore?” Then he looked at Nelissa’s snow-white canine teeth, which were revealed when she smiled. She was very cute.
Nelissa’s cheeks were burning hot as she was stared at by Edward’s deep eyes. She felt a little happy and embarrassed, but she was deeply moved by his eyes. She raised her eyes to meet his, and then her eyes stopped on his tall nose.
The man’s eyes were too aggressive. It was hard for a woman who liked him to calm down. She would probably blush and her heart beat faster.
Yi Fan stiffened his neck and tilted his head to look out of the window. He was very embarrassed. In the past, he had never known that Edward was a master who showed off his love. He was always dragged, but he was still chased by women. He was very arrogant. At that time, everyone was in a young impulsive period. In the competition between boys, in addition to the basketball skills on the basketball court, it was probably the number of admirers.
Edward had undoubtedly been the winner for a long time. Many senior and junior sisters chased after him, or sent him a love letter or a towel. Later, they made an appointment with a campus belle from the foreign language department, who was also a straight-A student. In the end, they broke up in less than half a month. The woman was still reluctant to part with him. It must be Edward who broke up with her first.
When others asked him what stage he had reached, his eyes were full of disdain and ridicule. “It’s boring. As long as you recite a set of love words and get familiar with them, you can do whatever you want.”
Other boys were not convinced on the spot because they were not good-looking enough. Even if they recited a dictionary, they might not be able to win the favor of the campus belle.
Edward’s relationship had always been very mysterious. The mystery was that he would not mention the woman’s secret before or after they broke up, nor would he mention it in the future. Therefore, no one knew how many of his girlfriends had slept with him.
Other men usually shared a beautiful girlfriend with their friends or showed off in an ambiguous way. Edward didn’t have this style, but with Yi Fan’s understanding of him, he probably hadn’t done it at all. He had always been picky.
After that, she asked in private. It was indeed like this.
“Ask him why he didn’t do it?”
Edward’s statement was very realistic. “If you do it, the other party will cry and make a scene.”
At that time, he was quite confused. “Isn’t it for the purpose of dating beautiful girls?”
Edward didn’t deny it. “At first.” He pursed his thin lips and said, “Later, I felt that she was more restless than I was, so I suddenly lost my mind. I don’t like dealing with this kind of things.”
Yifan’s conclusion was that the campus belle was like a wolf or a tiger.
There was nothing beautiful about the scenery outside the window. Yi Fan sorted out the confession he had just written and asked Edward, “Shall we go to your place now?”
Edward shook his head and said, “Wait a minute.” Nelissa would lose a bag of blood later, so he wanted to accompany her.
Yifan nodded and said, “My colleague is also here. I’ll leave after finishing the case.” He stood up and wanted to go out for a walk. At last, he asked Edward, “Go out and smoke a cigarette?”
Nelissa first agreed with Edward. “Go ahead.”
Edward touched Nelissa’s head with a smile and went out with his friends. There was a corridor outside the ward. At the end of the corridor, there was a smoking area on the left. They were too lazy to go downstairs and lit a cigarette there.
The smoke lingered in the air.
Through the faint smoke, Yi Fan could not see through the expression on Edward’s face. Finally, he asked, “What’s your relationship with that little girl? Yesterday, I heard from the traffic police officer who handled this. Are you her husband?”
Edward lit a cigarette and held it between his slender fingers. He didn’t take a single drag, only allowing it to burn out. He readily admitted, “That’s right. I’m married to her.”
Yifan was shocked. “When did you get married?” Then he asked, “Is she at the age of marriage?”From NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward squinted at him and replied faintly, “She’s 23 years old.”
Looking at Nelissa’s small face, Yifan thought she was only 20 years old, but 23 years old was also young. He asked Edward curiously, “You don’t even have a wedding ceremony when you get married? Do you want to save money like this? At least, let me know…”
Edward thought that he was talking nonsense, so he interrupted him directly. “Nelissa and I are secretly married.”
