Chapter 290
Edward paused for a moment, puzzled. He didn’t think that Nelissa looked like Anna in any way.
He remained silent and placed his slender hand on the dining table. His cuffs were clean and his silhouette was handsome. He had the mature charm of a man.
Anna held his face with both hands and looked at it. In a daze, someone pushed the door open. Shen Dong came in with a carefully packed exquisite food box. When he saw that the food on the table did not move, the couple in the room was so quiet that it was strange. He asked, “Does the food taste bad?”
Anna shook his head and smiled. “Very good.”
Shen Dong nodded and didn’t ask anything else. They were all adults, and they wouldn’t disturb him. He put a few food boxes on the table, put them in front of Edward, chatted with them for a while, and then went out.
For a moment, the room became quiet again.
Anna had been observing Edward’er. He had looked at the diamond watch on his wrist more than three times. His fingers knocked on the table again and again, and his eyes darkened under his heroic eyebrows. He was in front of her, but it made her feel that she was far away from him, so absent-minded.
Anna knew that Edward was thinking about something. He would only do this when he was thinking about something important. His habits had not changed, and he was still the same as before. He would not let people break into his inner world and share his worries easily.
But Anna couldn’t be happy. In the past, Edward was good to her, but now he was as cold as a stranger.
Edward looked down at his watch again. Finally, Anna could not help but ask, “Are you in a hurry?”
Edward’s arched eyebrows moved slightly, seemingly nodding but not. He looked into Anna’s stubborn eyes and asked her with a sigh, “Do you have a place to go?”
“Yes!” Anna raised his delicate little face and defended his remaining pride in front of Edward. He replied with an aggressive smile, “Of course I have a place to go! Otherwise, what kind of life do you think I have been living these years? I can’t eat well, or I’m homeless? Edward, I’m not so down and out!”
Edward frowned. He knew that Anna had misunderstood him and there was no reason for it. He had always been used to doing things in his own way. He didn’t care about what others thought of him. If he was angry, he would naturally solve it.
But for Anna, he wouldn’t. He still maintained the friendship they had when they were young. He had watched Anna grow up. If there hadn’t been any twists and turns, he would have treated him like his own sister.
He took out his phone and called Andrew while saying to Anna, “I’ll arrange someone to send you back.” His voice was calm, and then he called Andrew.
Anna suddenly wanted to cry. She looked at the tall man in front of her with tears in her eyes. Time loved him very much. When he was young, Edward was brilliant and unparalleled. Later, when he entered the adult society, he became even more handsome. Now he was as mature and noble as before. He had become an excellent man.
But Anna was so sad that he couldn’t speak. She turned her head and wiped her tears secretly in the corner of Edward’s eyes.
The person who was most afraid of the most and the most afraid of the true heart had changed.
Edward hung up after giving Andrew some instructions on the phone. He was still sitting there, but he was ready to go.
Anna stared at his face for a few seconds and said, “I was a little out of control just now.”
Edward shook his head and was not angry.
Anna poured out the cold tea and added a new one. He had never touched Edward’s cup. It was cold, but he didn’t drink it when it was hot. The food was like regular work. Anna couldn’t help but smile and said, “You accompany me to finish this meal before leaving. I have been abroad for the past few years, and I rarely eat authentic Chinese food.”
Edward nodded and didn’t refuse. He picked up his ivory chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, and asked Anna, “Where have you been abroad these years?”
While eating, Anna said, “I’ve been to many places, and I don’t know where to live.” She looked at Edward’s thoughtful face and said, “I went to Vangelos in the beginning.”
… It’s a private place. Nelissa has been out for a while.
Edward immediately looked up at her and asked, “Are you with Nelissa?”
Anna nodded and admitted generously, “Yes. What a coincidence. She and I took the same flight that day, but we were quite far away from each other. She didn’t see me, but I saw her. Until we got off the plane, I watched her being protected and leaving. I believe that if I got closer to her at that time, I would definitely be ridiculed by the people around her.”
“She’s… quite mysterious,” Anna said sincerely.
Edward frowned and asked, “You always appear beside her.”
Anna did not deny it. In recent years, she had indeed been secretly observing Nelissa from time to time. She said, “I just want to know what kind of person the person you like is. I’m very curious about which point she has attracted you, and what aspect I’m not as good as her.” After a pause, Anna added, “I don’t think it’s rare for her to have so many choices. At most, it’s just a little gentle.”
Edward smiled suddenly, and his thin lips moved gently. He said gently, “Yes, she is very gentle.”
Anna’s face was a little pale, and he clenched his little hand under the table. She didn’t mean to praise Nelissa, but Edward… obviously seemed to have fallen in love with Nelissa.
“I’m jealous of her, really,” Anna said self-deprecatingly. He looked at Edward’er with red eyes, and sadness welled up in his heart. He couldn’t suppress it. Everyone wanted to be beautiful and bright and appear in front of their loved ones, but she really couldn’t do it this time.
Edward said seriously, “I don’t know how you found Nelissa’s whereabouts in the past few years, but our affairs have nothing to do with Nelissa. She doesn’t know anything, including our relationship. She is just involved in this. You don’t have to follow her.”
“But she stole the man I’ve been in love with for a long time,” Anna replied with a smile, his eyes brimming with tears.
Anna thought that Edward would have been silent. He never liked to clarify, so he was annoyed. But he said to her, “What is robbery? If I came first, I fell in love with Nelissa first. I expressed this feeling in front of you and Sean. You didn’t say anything at that time.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Anna’s face was pale, and he couldn’t refute.
Anna had fallen in love with Edward first, but he had been secretly in love with her, so he didn’t say it out loud. However, Edward first fell in love with Nelissa and told her the truth. In this triangle relationship, Anna had always thought that Nelissa was the third party between her and Edward. In fact, she was also the third party…
In the middle, she had been preventing Edward from finding Nelissa. It wasn’t until Edward was disheartened and had to give up this thought that she dared to confess to him.
