Chapter 262
After Edward left, Nelissa and Penelope exchanged a few polite words. They chatted casually, but no one took the initiative to cut to the chase. Perhaps they were trying to test each other’s emotions.
Han Penelope bought Nelissa several kinds of nutrition products and a box of walnut. She didn’t know where Nelissa was hurt, but she didn’t expect that her head would really be hurt. She ate hawthorns to replenish her brain.
The two of them ate the walnut, and they didn’t say anything when they had no time.
Nelissa lowered her head and thought for a moment. “Let me cut to the chase. She’s already here, isn’t it to deal with this matter?” She was about to say something, but Han Penelope said first, “Is it serious?”
Nelissa smiled faintly. “It’s not serious. The doctor said that she could be discharged from the hospital in a while. She’ll be fine when she comes back every week to change her dressing.”
Han Penelope nodded. She noticed that there was a bodyguard standing guard outside Nelissa’s ward. She felt strange, so she asked Nelissa, “Why did you have a car accident?”
“An accident,” Nelissa said briefly. She did not mention that someone wanted to kill her. It was a mystery and could not be explained clearly. It was better to wait for the police to find out the truth.
“Oh.” Han Penelope began to look at Nelissa’s ward with boredom. It was very spacious and bright, and there was a bed for rest. Her uncle, Edward, must stay to accompany Nelissa every night. She smiled and said, “It’s the first time I’ve seen my uncle take care of a person like that. You’re amazing.”
Nelissa thought for a while. She didn’t know if the power here was ambiguous, but she hoped it was good. However, she couldn’t deny it. “Well, he is very good.”
Penelope suddenly lowered her voice and asked, “Is he better than Zayden?” Seeing that Nelissa was slightly stunned, she continued, “I know that little uncle is very excellent. He has always been liked by many women, and everyone hates and loves him. But for you, isn’t your relationship with Zayden deep enough?”
Nelissa didn’t say anything. Han Penelope took a deep breath and forced a smile. “It’s not that I can’t accept you being with my uncle. I just…” She suddenly felt like she was a lunatic.
Nelissa slowly continued, “You just can’t accept that Zayden and I didn’t end up together.”
“Yes.” Penelope lowered her head and admitted it. She rubbed the hem of her skirt and said, “This is the love between you and Zayden, but I fell in love with him. My entanglement and regret were very ridiculous, weren’t they? I still remember how good your relationship with Zayden was when I was in school, and how happy you were when you laughed. We had been together for so many years, but he was still holding an umbrella to shelter you from the rain. It was the first time that I was hit by your love. I silently hoped that you could always be together and live happily.”
Penelope believed that love was invincible. It could represent everything, including wealth, life, and death.
She watched the relationship between Nelissa and Zayden from the perspective of a passer-by for three years. The handsome young man and his childhood sweetheart were secretly in love. It was very sincere and beautiful. So for a period of time, she really envied Nelissa and Nelissa, who had such a beautiful love.
She knew that she was immersed in acting little by little. She was too serious. The love between Nelissa and Zayden indirectly changed her entire view of love, and even… she secretly fell in love with the boyfriend of her good friend.
Nelissa said seriously, “But Edward’er and I are also in love. I like him and he likes me, but it’s not complicated. I can be very happy with him. I’m very happy now.”
“Then…” Penelope didn’t know how to ask. She was very conflicted. On the one hand, Edward was her little uncle, and she would definitely support him. On the other hand, she couldn’t bear to part with Zayden’s heartache. “Then, which love is your favorite?”
When it came to love, would it be Zayden’s or Edward’s?
It should be Zayden. He had been by Nelissa’s side for many years. Time was the best spirit medicine and poison.
Nelissa shook her head. “I never compared them. At that time, I was 15 years old. Now, I’m 23 years old. My state of mind and personality are very different. There’s nothing I can compare with them. When I was young, I liked someone, but that didn’t mean that I would continue to like him when I grew up.” She then said sincerely, “I used to dislike men like Edward the most, but now I like him the most.”
“Penelope, you may have been addicted to love, but you can’t compare these things. This is a cruel behavior. You can’t find anything in the end. I’ve gone through a lot of things these years and I’m able to see through them. After returning to Haleston City, I didn’t intend to find a man who loves me or whom I love. Unexpectedly, I met him.”
When Nelissa said this, she couldn’t help but smile slowly. It was really the wrong marriage. The two most impossible people became a couple.
Han Penelope’s mind was a little muddled. She felt that Nelissa was right, but she was unwilling to give up and asked, “When you just came back to Haleston City, didn’t you plan to reunite with Zayden?”
Nelissa shook her head. “No.”
“Why?” Han Penelope was confused. She thought of Nelissa’s twins and her eyes flashed. “Nelissa, there’s something I really want to ask you. I don’t dare to ask uncle. I’m afraid of him when it comes to serious matters. Your, your twins are not Zayden’s children in Nathan, right?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Nelissa nodded gently. At this point, she couldn’t let others misunderstand her. “Not Zayden’s, never. When I met him, I would kiss him at most. I haven’t reached that stage yet.”
Han Penelope was in a trance. She had always thought that Nelissa and Zayden had broken up by misunderstanding. Later, she was angry and ran away with the ball. She immediately asked, “Whose child was Noelle for Nathan?”
No wonder she didn’t think that Noelle looked like Zayden for Nathan. Who did this pair of twins look like? Yes, her father said that she looked like a person for Nathan. At that time in the resort, Nelissa and another man were sleeping in a suite. Noelle called this man father for Nathan. Was he her uncle?
Han Penelope was a little shocked by her own thoughts!
Nelissa frowned and explained, “I didn’t mean to mislead you from the beginning. On that day, when we met again at the cake shop, you dragged me to have dinner with you. I followed you, and I didn’t even know that you were Edward’s niece at that time. Until I went to the restaurant and saw him there, I was shocked. Sophie was the principal of the school Nathan ago. You suddenly asked me who I was for Nathan. At that time, I wanted to hide it from you and said that she was my ex-boyfriend.”
“I know that you will definitely think of Zayden, and I have never explained it to you. I was in a mess at that time, and you were Edward’s niece… I don’t dare to talk nonsense.”
