Chapter 312
After a few days of peace and quiet, Charles came to the hospital as usual to see her. The bruises on his face that had been beaten by Edward had not faded, which made his well-dressed image very prominent.
Nelissa was stunned and asked, “Your face?”
Charles smiled. “Your man hit me.”
He wiped his cheeks and thought of Edward’s warning not to touch Nelissa’s eyes. He curled his lips and smiled deeply. If he was so ruthless, Edward would suffer in the future! After all, he was Nelissa’s elder brother, and Nelissa was a member of the Su family!
Nelissa’s eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t expect Edward to really hit Charles.
After he came back that day, he held her in his arms and felt depressed for no reason. He also said that he was jealous and suddenly couldn’t stand other men’s concern for her. After that, he pressed her head hard to prevent her from seeing the expression on his face.
It was awkward but cute at the same time.
Nelissa looked at Charles.
“You…”
“I know what you’re going to say.” Charles interrupted her. He sat upright on the sofa and looked at Nelissa seriously. He was still a little nervous. “Let me make it clear first. I don’t mean anything bad to you. My ancestor and your mother are old friends. He can be regarded as an old friend. He has always wanted to care about you and your mother. In fact, when I think about it now, I should have seen your mother a few times when I was young. I think you and I are like old friends whom I have never seen before. It’s fate. I just want to make friends with you. It may cause you to be abrupt and misunderstand. I’m sorry.”
“But I definitely have no other intention. Please believe me.”
Charles’s attitude was very sincere and steady, and the sincerity on his face was genuine. Nelissa was also willing to believe what Charles said, but she didn’t expect such a capable man to seriously ask her to be his friend.
When did her friends become so valuable? They were all big shots.
Nelissa tilted her head and looked at Charles. “My mother used to live in Bekki?”
“Yes.” Charles answered calmly, but he was guilty in his heart. He did not dare to confess to Nelissa, nor did he dare to accept the marriage rashly. After all, Sonya was very important. His ancestors used to be bad people who beat each other. Perhaps he still hated his daughter in his heart and did not want her to return to her family.
He had to build a good relationship with Nelissa.
While he was talking about other things, Nelissa was about to go up to see him. Charles followed Nelissa with his thick skin, pretending to be silly. He didn’t care that he was just an outsider at the moment.
Nelissa felt that Charles was really familiar with her, unlike Edward, who was not cold at all. Charles should only be a few years younger than Edward. His age experience was really the best verification for a man.
After seeing Qi Chuying, Nelissa gave a brief introduction to Charles, and then slowly helped Qi Chuying get up and let her lean against a few soft pillows on the bed to stretch her body.
Now he didn’t need to lie down. He could do a few simple movements. Soon, he could get out of bed.
Qi Jiying was looking at Charles.
The only woman that Su Yuecheng had ever loved was Charles’s fourth aunt and elders. The Su family attached great importance to the order of childhood. Charles said politely, “Hello, I’ve heard of your name for a long time. I’m Su Qi’s son, Charles.”
Qi Ziying’s eyes flashed.
She slowly looked down at her daughter, Nelissa. After a long time, she said intermittently, “You have grown up.”
Charles nodded and said, “Yes, it’s been many years. Grandpa and the others have always been concerned about you. I haven’t had time to inform the elders in my family about what happened this time. It’s all up to you.”
Only then did Nelissa look up at them and say, “It seems that you really know each other.”
Charles smiled and said nothing.
Sonya’s stiff knuckles felt much more comfortable under Nelissa’s stretch. She touched Nelissa’s cheek and said to Charles, “Nelissa is my daughter.”
Nelissa smiled and said, “There’s no need to introduce him. He already knew that his grandfather was a professor who helped you with the surgery.”
Sonya nodded with a smile, tears welling up in his eyes.
Nelissa panicked. She didn’t know why her mother always cried silently recently. Was there something on her mind? But she didn’t want to say it, and Nelissa didn’t dare to keep asking. She had to focus on her body.
Charles stood by the side and watched as Nelissa comforted him. He didn’t dare to do anything and didn’t dare to say anything. He didn’t even dare to call her Fourth Aunt. Qi was much more experienced. It could be seen that this woman had been struggling.
Charles couldn’t imagine what his handsome and perfect fourth uncle would look like when he got old. Su Yuecheng was always the most perfect 25-year-old. It was rare for Qi Chuying to be alone and never get married.
At least in terms of loyalty, Charles admired Qi Chuying.
When he left, he had fallen asleep.
Nelissa saw that it was getting late. Edward would go to the kindergarten to pick up Noelle for Nathan after work. Then she would take them to see her stay until night, and then she would send the twins home. She was really a filial father.
He had no choice. Nathan ago, he learned how to video chat from Jolene. Every day, he would stick to Edward whenever he had something to do. The two little guys were sweet and coquettish. Edward looked dignified, but in fact, he followed his son and daughter.
Nelissa had no choice but to remind Charles, “Edward, come here.”
Charles nodded knowingly and watched Nelissa enter the ward. He stayed outside for a while, and sure enough, Edward came. He was accompanied by two beautiful children, a man and a woman, who were twins.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Charles looked at her carefully, then put on a smiling face and said to Edward, who was frowning, “I’m here to see my grandfather.”
After that, Charles quickly left. Noelle, who was behind him, took Edward’s hand and called him father. They were in a hurry to see their mother.
Charles didn’t miss it and couldn’t help narrowing his eyes.
Nelissa and her son were really illegitimate children. He didn’t pay attention to this before, but now it was very serious.

“Out of the hospital?” Nelissa raised her eyebrows. She was surprised that Edward had finally let her out of the hospital. She was so bored.
In fact, Edward didn’t want Nelissa to be discharged from the hospital so soon. He also wanted Nelissa to rest for a while. With Nelissa’s character, she wouldn’t be able to stay idle after leaving the hospital. He was always worried and didn’t want Nelissa to leave the range he could take care of. To put it bluntly, Edward really wanted to imprison Nelissa in the area he thought was safe so that she could do what she liked.
But after all, this selfishness could not be used to the end. Even in the hospital, there were too many people disturbing his Nelissa.
Edward pursed his thin lips and looked down at Nelissa. His deep voice sounded like a sigh but helpless. “Where should I hide you to be safe?”
Nelissa blushed slightly. She didn’t know what she was shy about, but the love in Edward’s eyes always made her feel that she was doted on by him.
