Pampered Like A Princess

Chapter 6 He Does Not Lack Women



The boy whom Nathan pushed was from the same class as the twins. The greatest crime he committed was to plant a kiss on Noelle.

Nelissa was glowering at Nathan before she turned to Noelle and asked, “Where did the boy kiss you?”

“My hand, Mommy.” Noelle lifted up her hand and showed it to Nelissa. “He kissed my hand.”

Nelissa closed her eyes and exhaled deeply. Well, she couldn’t get angry at a protective brother, could she?

Nathan’s hands were in his pocket, his head turned to the side, his eyes telling Nelissa that he wasn’t going to admit his fault, nor would he apologize.

He was born two minutes later than Noelle, and this made him the younger brother. Since young, he was taught to guard Noelle from all the potential threats and dangers.

He had always been a fine, noble gentleman. Never did he kiss the girls in his class, although there were plenty of them who asked for one from him.

Having said that, anyone who brushed their filthy lips on Noelle would be considered a scoundrel. Nathan would make sure they paid their price for pawing his dearest sister.

Nelissa was never a fan of reprimanding kids; she only did it when necessary. After all, she could never bear to see the twins tearing up.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Besides, Nathan wasn’t exactly in the wrong. Though he was still at a tender age, he would eventually grow up to be a man and protect his female counterparts; and this list included his sister.

The boy whom Nathan pushed had already been taken home by his parents. Although he wasn’t seriously injured, the headmistress would like to have a word with Nelissa.

Nelissa reckoned that the boy was probably from a well-to-do family. It was after all an expensive kindergarten.

During Nelissa’s time, the headmaster was a bald geezer. And now, the headmistress Nelissa was about to meet was a young, gorgeous lady who was called Sophie Bailey.

“Miss Quest, I must remind you that our school does not condone any violent behaviors. If I may be so bold, I’d strongly encourage you to give them a lecture on his manners.”

“Excuse me? Did you just say a lecture, Ms. Sophie? Need I remind you that my girl here has just been assaulted by one of the members of your school?”

Nelissa wiped away the tears in Noelle’s eyes before she added, “Should you allow such a matter to occur again on my children, I will not hesitate to escalate it to the relevant authority. Consider this my warning.”

“How absurd of you, Miss Quest to make such a vile remark! Is this how you raise your children?” Sophie was irate.

“Well, you don’t expect me to praise that boy for stepping over his line and kissing my precious girl,” retorted Nelissa.

Ever since meeting Edward and discovering his true identity, Nelissa had been in a bad mood. Sophie should not get on her nerves, at least not at this time.

“I’ve made myself clear, I guess, Ms. Sophie. Pleasure meeting you.” With that, Nelissa took the twins out of Sophie’s office.

She brought the twins to a local ice cream store before they returned home.

As soon as she stepped foot into the house, she turned on the TV to a cartoon channel for the twins. She then flung herself onto the sofa, ruffling her hair. Now that she had some time for herself, her mind was once again cluttered with worries.

All of a sudden, Edward’s image took shape in front of her eyes. His lips, his scent, his aura…

Her instinct instantly forewarned her that he was a very dangerous man.

The first night they met she ended up losing her virginity to him. The second time they encountered each other, he bussed her. The third time didn’t go that well for her either-he molested her in an emergency staircase.

She decided not to meet him again; she’d be a lamb to the slaughter if she did. Although she really wanted to secure the deal, she saw no dire reasons for her to take such a risk.

He should stay as a memory in the deepest chamber in her mind. Perhaps, he didn’t want to meet her either.

“Nelly, are you even listening?” Jolene patted on Nelissa’s shoulder. “Something’s going on between you and Master Hales, isn’t it? His friends are obviously taking you as his girlfriend. Didn’t he approach you previously?”

Jolene clicked her tongue and continued, “He likes you, doesn’t he?”

Nelissa probed herself up on her elbow, staring out at the window, unspeaking.

Jolene couldn’t help asking, “What do you feel about him?”

Nelissa sighed. “I feel absolutely nothing about him. I’ve decided not to contact the Hales Group again. You will find another partner tomorrow.”

Surprised, Jolene squealed, “Are you kidding, Nelissa Quest? You do know how much bonus you will get if we manage to secure this project, right? You’ve been acting weird ever since you got that call in the afternoon. Spit it out, girl. What’s troubling you?”

“He molested me… Master Hales…,” Nelissa trailed off. She put her arm on her chest as she recalled his hand on her back, scalding the desire hidden inside her.

Her cheeks were burning at this moment. Although she was already a mother-and if one might add, of two children-she only had one experience with men.

“Heavens, did he?” Jolene covered her mouth.

“Luckily, I am in my period.”

Jolene did not persuade Nelissa to change her mind. Jolene exactly knew though the harassment in the workplace was never a new thing, most of their clients knew the boundary they must not overstep, for it’d only bring more trouble than its short-lived happiness.

However, given Edward’s status in this city, would he ever get himself in trouble for doing such shameless things?

Nelissa gave Edward’s personal contact number to Jolene before she took the twins for a stroll in the playground. She needed to give herself and her mind a break, a space to think.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was from Edward. Nelissa stared at her phone; neither did she pick it up nor hang up the call.

“Mommy, aren’t you going to pick it up?” asked Noelle. Nathan, at this moment, had leaped off from the swing; he was walking towards Nelissa.

“We do not talk to a hooligan, so no.” Nelissa shook her head. Without her realizing it, Nathan was peeking at her phone; the so-called hooligan’s name was Edward Hales.

At 10 o’clock, the twins were in the land of nod at last after Nelissa finished another bedtime story. She returned to her room to take a shower before she heard her phone ring again.

No surprise, it was from Edward.

She muted her phone; she herself needed some shut-eye too.

Edward was from a wealthy family. She reckoned that it was best for her to ignore him. His pride and arrogance would probably dissuade him from contacting her. After all, he did not lack women.

As expected, after she disregarded those two calls that night, Edward never called again.

Nelissa devoted herself to work in the next two days. Since she had given up the project that involved the Hales Group, she had to work harder to cover up for her losses.

On the other hand, it seemed that Jolene wasn’t having smooth sailing dealing with the Hales Group either. Nelissa had found her crying several times. Her heart pained to see her friend in such a state.

On the third day, Nelissa received another call from Edward. She was of the opinion that he must have some important matter to tell her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have called her thrice.

“Good day, Mr. Hales,” greeted Nelissa robotically.

“You’re avoiding meeting me, huh?” His gravelly voice rang out from the other end, magically bringing her back in time.

The pleasure moans he made while they made out five years ago began to echo in the depth of her brain as the memories that she’d been concealing crept their ways out again.
