Chapter 19 His True Self

Nelissa stumbled backwards. Panicked, she almost fell down.

What if Sophie just came straight in? She was her girlfriend and how would she react if she saw Nelissa in her boyfriend’s house?

Nelissa thought for a while and looked up the stairs. Maybe there was a guest room she could hide in.

The doorbell kept on ringing. Sophie was still outside. That was weird. How could Edward’s legitimate girlfriend not have access to the house when his housekeeper, Eliza did?

Nelissa came to a realization about Edward and Sophie’s relationship.

Nelissa tiptoed her way up the stairs while Edward had just finished his cigar. He looked out the room and saw Nelissa; he let out a slight giggle. He was amused.

He wasn’t surprised after all. Nelissa didn’t have any way to leave the house.

Nelissa peeked her head through the door and said, “Your girlfriend’s here.”

“So?” Edward replied.
