Pampered Like A Princess

Apart from Sophie, Nelissa was the only one Edward had ever shown a romantic interest in.

He was noble, handsome, extremely rich, and powerful. The man ticked all the checkboxes of a woman’s fantasy.

He was bossy, imperious, and demanding, but he was still the ultimate lover.

Nelissa used to loathe such men. Her mother had wanted her to marry a man of equal wealth and status, but she fell for a mere bodyguard.

“Uncle, are you wooing my Mommy?” Nathan asked. He knew what ‘expressing love’ meant.

Aunt Jolene had once told him that being nice to a girl was the first step in wooing a girl.

“Yes,” Edward admitted, much to Nelissa’s embarrassment. With the children here, there were many things she couldn’t say.

“But I thought you already have a girlfriend!” Nate knew Sophie was his girlfriend.

Cheater, cheater, pants on fire.

Edward frowned. Nelissa was afraid that Nathan’s words would accidentally tick him off, so she immediately interjected,

“Nate, hush.”

Edward, however, replied coolly, “I like your mother more.”

Shocked, Nelissa glared at him.

What was he talking about? What if the kids tell Sophie about this?

Edward then asked, “Where should we go next?”

Nelissa mumbled anxiously. “Just drop us off at Wonder Plaza. We have a movie to catch later.”

It was still a good while before the movie, but she wanted to steer clear of Edward for the time being.

Edward nodded and revved up the car. “Did you book a spot for me too?”

“Huh?” Nelissa looked at him dumbly.

“In that case, I’ll get someone to book us tickets, then we’ll watch the movie together, alright? Let’s head over to my garage first. Your son wants to see some real supercars, no?”

Edward looked at the time and made the necessary arrangements, for he knew Nelissa would never book a ticket for him.

“Are you going to watch the movie with us?”

Nelissa was flustered. She was apprehensive of the idea, but she knew nothing she said would change his mind.

Nelissa felt as if she was walking on thin ice whenever he and the kids met. If Nathan and Noelle hadn’t been around at that moment, she would have asked him to back off.

“Yes, I am.” His voice was laced with seduction, and his gaze made Nelissa shiver.

They arrived at the garage an hour later, and the first thing that came into sight was the villa on the mountain.

It was beautiful, idyllic, and scenic.

Being young children who had never seen much of the world, Nathan and Noelle were enamored by the gigantic villa.

Curious, even Noelle, who was usually reserved, wanted to look around the place with her brother.

Edward held Nelissa’s hand as the children ran ahead.

“Do you like it here?”

It was obvious that he was showing off!

Nelissa tried to break free of his grip but to no avail.

Worried that her children might notice the exchange, she blushed with anxiety.

“Let me go, Edward,” she hissed.

He stared at her, not making a move, waiting for her answer.

Nelissa bit her lip tightly. “Yes, of course, I like it here.”

Edward let her go, satisfied by her answer.

He took a brief glance at her lips before taking the kids to his garage.

From the garage alone, Nelissa could see how different their families were.

Her mother had started from nothing, a far cry from the aristocrats who had been here for generations.

Edward was one of the most famous heirs of the city.

Each of the cars in the garage probably cost millions. The Quests did not even have one of those cars back in the days.

Considering how much her son loved cars, Edward’s garage must be a treasure trove for him.

Every single one of them was top tier, and there were a few he had never seen before, and Edward would explain each of them to Nathan patiently

Nelissa looked at them quietly, troubled at the fact that they were getting along well.

Nathan’s itch still wasn’t scratched even after the tour ended.

He wanted Edward to drive another car.

“Which one would you like to get a ride on?” Edward looked at him.

“This one!” Nathan pointed at a Porsche happily.

“Sure,” Edward agreed readily.

Oh god, they looked so alike right now.

Nelissa closed her eyes and pretended she didn’t witness the exchange.

When they entered the villa, Andrew was already there, bringing loads of fast food with him.

The villa was designed to be a vacation home, which meant that there were no chefs here.

If they wanted food, their only option was to order deliveries.

The children loved the food as Nelissa seldom took them to fast food joints as it was expensive.

Andrew poked the straw into the cola cup and handed it to Noelle.

“Are they your children, Miss Nelly?”

“Yes,” Nelissa replied with a smile.

This was the first time Andrew saw the children. He looked at his boss, who was calm as a cucumber.

Edward seemed to have accepted the fact Nelissa had two children, and he was treating them well too.

Andrew was impressed that Nelissa had managed to convince Edward to accept the kids. She may look innocent, but it seemed that she had a way with men.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The kids went to wash their hands after their meal. Nathan, being the bashful boy he was, hated being helped.

However, with the basin being taller than him, he had to ask his mother for help.

“Hey, I grew almost two inches,” Nathan retorted.

“But you’re still not tall enough.” Nelissa smiled cheekily.

It had been a long time since she teased her son.

When Edward came in, he saw Nelissa holding her son as he washed his hands, while Noelle waited behind them.

He picked her up instinctively so that she could wash her hands too.

He even wiped her hands with a handkerchief after that.

Nelissa was watching the whole thing, and it occurred to her that Edward seemed to like Noelle more.

They soon made their way to Wonder Plaza for their movie.

Edward wore a black mask as he walked next to Nelissa and the kids.

The adorable kids inevitably drew attention from the public, and with the mysterious Edward tagging along, the crowd kept staring at them.

They thought a popular actor was bringing his family on a movie trip.

Edward bought out the whole viewing hall for the day.

Since they were alone, he could take off his disguise.

“Do you buy out the whole hall every time you go for a movie?” Nelissa asked incredulously.

“I have a cinema at home. Come to my place if you want to watch any movies.” Edward looked into her eyes, delighted.

The movie started shortly after.

Nelissa started yawning twenty minutes into the movie.

It was exhausting bringing the kids out, and with Edward tagging along, she was mentally drained.

Nelissa took off her 3D glasses, trying to catch a nap as the movie went on, but Edward suddenly tossed his glasses at her.

She frowned at him. Under the dim light, all she could see was the outline of his face, flickering along with the light.

It was for a moment, but she saw him smiling evilly.

All of sudden, Nelissa felt his warm lips on her. He held the back of her head tightly, deepening their kiss, his scent washing over her.

Nelissa’s heart raced, but she stayed still. Her children were right beside her, so she tugged at his arm, asking him to stop.

Edward merely ignored her feeble resistance.

He nibbled on her lower lip, begging to slip his tongue in.

Turned on by his intense kiss, Nelissa succumbed to her instincts and parted her lips.

The kiss was short, but she was immersed in every moment of it.

Edward held her right hand tightly, his fingers playing a tune on the back of her hand, their kiss as passionate as the scorching sun.

Nelissa couldn’t see the big screen clearly, or to be precise, she didn’t care what was on the screen.

Even after the movie ended, their hands remained intertwined in the shadows.

Edward wore his mask again when they left the hall.

At the children’s behest, he bought three ice creams and handed one to Nelissa.

“Here.”

As she took it, he suddenly whispered, “Your lips are swollen. Anyone who sees it would know what happened.”

Nelissa blushed and immediately turned away.

“Could I get a hug please, Uncle?” Nathan made a sudden request.

Nelissa was in a dilemma. Her son didn’t usually let her hug him, but he was oddly approachable that day.

Was he that fond of Edward just after meeting him twice?

Edward frowned, but he picked him up anyway.

If he could choose, he would prefer holding her daughter instead of her son. However, Nelissa was holding her ice cream, so she couldn’t hold him.

All of a sudden, Nathan’s ice cream suddenly slipped off and soiled Edward’s jacket.

“Sorry, Uncle.” He smiled. “My hand slipped.”

Instead of putting the boy down, Edward looked at Nelissa. “Your son did this on purpose.”

He wouldn’t go off on a kid, but he saw right through him.

Edward was starting to like the boy, cause he knew this boy was much alike to him.

Nelissa was vexed. Nathan had gone too far this time.

Unbeknownst to them, Nathan saw Edward and his mother sharing a kiss in the movie hall earlier.
