Chapter 264
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Han Penelope played dumb to the end. What she feared the most was that Nelissa would find out that she had a crush on Zayden. Just like most of the people who had a crush on him, her single love was hard to say and could not be expressed. Even if Nelissa and Zayden had broken up, she did not dare to express her feelings.
From the beginning to the end, it was very shameful. On the one hand, she wanted Zayden and Nelissa to be good. On the other hand, she wanted herself to be with Zayden. She was the most contradictory person.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Nelissa smiled implicitly and didn’t say anything else. She didn’t want to embarrass Penelope.
It was better to keep a distance from this layer of transparent paper. It was not the so-called shrewdness, but the self-righteous intelligence, which made everyone embarrassed. She was also a little hesitant. It was a little strange to let Penelope pursue her ex-boyfriend. This feeling was not possessive, but it was inevitably strange in her heart.
She thought that it might be difficult to adapt to the change of relationships. These people seemed to have taken the wrong marriage. The red lines circled around them one after another, and finally tied to the most unexpected person on the other side, which was very wonderful.
For a moment, the two of them had nothing to say and fell silent. The atmosphere returned to the awkward atmosphere at the beginning. Even the sound of eating walnut in the quiet ward was particularly crisp.
Nelissa wanted to pour herself a glass of water, but Han Penelope helped her. She put the warm glass cup into her hand and smiled. “Thank you.” Drinking the warm water, she looked down and said, “Penelope, you must keep what I told you today a secret. You can’t tell your family. Nathan is very important to me. I like Edward. He knows that Noelle was his child for Nathan, but his family may not understand my feelings. I’m afraid that they will do something drastic if they know about it.”
Han Penelope nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, I understand.” If word got out now, her grandfather and great-grandfather might be in a hurry to bring Nelissa, their birth mother, back to the Hales family home Nathan later.
She comforted Nelissa. “Our old man loves little uncle the most. In the past, he was brought up by the old man and had a deep affection for him. Although his father was married to Norah, he still valued men and women. Norah is just a woman who served him for the rest of his life. She is not as important as his son.”
What a joke! With her uncle’s status and Norah’s background, he couldn’t even compare with one of her uncle’s fingers!
Nelissa nodded with a smile and said, “Your family’s situation is quite complicated.”
Penelope sighed and said, “When Norah was a mistress, I was still young and didn’t know the whole story. I knew that my father must have been wronged. My father loved children the most. Even if he wasn’t his own child, he couldn’t bear to kill the twins in Norah’s belly.”
“Later, my uncle took Norah to his mother’s funeral and asked Norah to kneel down in front of everyone. At that time, it was still raining, so no one would hold an umbrella for her. There were many relatives scolding her. She wanted to stand up, but my uncle was there. She didn’t dare to get up. She didn’t even dare to make a sound and knelt for more than an hour.”
At that time, she could vent her anger, but she was too timid to come out. She was afraid of death. She was afraid that Donald would hit his son. Fortunately, there was no bleeding. Probably at that moment, if killing was not illegal, her uncle would kill Norah.
After this incident, Norah was very afraid of his uncle. Usually, when his uncle was at home, Norah didn’t dare to make trouble. At most, he would say a few words with a needle in his body, which were neither painful nor itchy.
Last time, Norah’s harsh words happened to be heard by her uncle. He shivered for several days before he regained his usual arrogance.
Han Penelope said that on that day, Edward was the last one to leave. The darkening sky reflected the loneliness of his back.
Nelissa felt a sudden pain in her heart. She couldn’t imagine how Edward felt at that time. He must be in a very bad mood.
Penelope thought that Nelissa was worried about something else, so she said, “Don’t worry. His uncle is different from his father. He’s a man who doesn’t know what he should do. He has his own principles.”
Nelissa smiled. She thought to herself that Edward had no principles in front of her.
“Let’s not talk about these unhappy things. It makes me feel bad.” Nelissa turned on the TV and talked about something else with Penelope. She asked her about it for Nathan. Why didn’t she come over? She said that the two children didn’t know that she was in the hospital. She didn’t dare to say anything and cried.
Penelope laughed heartily and said that it was interesting.
Nelissa also found it interesting. In fact, she was a little naughty. She wanted to see her cool son cry, but she didn’t want to put it into practice. Every night, when she talked with Noelle on the phone for Nathan, her nose was sore. If Edward hadn’t been watching over her, she might have said everything.
Sigh.
Turning to the familiar TV station, Nelissa frowned. “Hmm?”
Han Penelope glanced at the television. It was an entertainment gossip program. She saw a paparazzo following a beautiful woman. She recognized him and asked, “Sophie? What is she doing?”
The video clip of the program was a video clip, which should have been taken before. The paparazzi reporter caught up with Sophie and kept asking her about the relationship between Sophie and Edward, asking her why the relationship between Edward and her would break up overnight, and whether Sophie was taking a break to heal herself or not.
Finally, Sophie burst into tears in front of the camera. She kept asking the reporters to stop taking photos of her, and still said something very meaningful sadly, “Ying Ying… He doesn’t like my mother’s identity. It’s me who doesn’t deserve him. He and I are destined to have no fate. Don’t ask anymore.”
After that, Sophie walked quickly to the luxury car, got in, and left.
At this point, the camera turned back to the host.
The two hosts, a man and a woman, had already begun to analyze the last sentence that Sophie had said. Maybe they were talking about the relationship between the rich and powerful families of the Bailey family. They became excited at once. They said that Sophie’s biological mother was not Mrs. Wood Man, but someone else. The person had a deep relationship with Ryan, but he had never admitted his identity to the public. Edward must have known something, so he abandoned the woman.
Nelissa looked at it in a daze. She was talking nonsense seriously!
Penelope sneered beside her and said, “She’s really good at acting. She’s able to hold back her tears. I guess she’s been drugged!”
Nelissa was stunned. “You’re acting?”
Han Penelope said with certainty, “Of course, you don’t know how much face Sophie loves. How could she suddenly burst into tears in front of reporters and cameras? No matter whether others believe it or not, I don’t believe it anyway. What’s more, when my uncle broke up with her before, he mentioned it in front of his family. He didn’t mention anything about her mother. There was no such conspiracy as she said.”
