Chapter 42 Overconfident

Edward placed Penelope in the backseat and looked at Nelissa. Compared to Penelope, Nelissa resembled more of an aristocrat: impulsive, brash, and cheeky.

She was annoying, yet lovable.

Nelissa released her grip on Edward’s arm, wanting to get in the car with Penelope, only to be stopped by him.

Edward covered Penelope with his suit so that she would not throw up in the car.

“Sit in front. It’s cramped back there. Remember to buckle up too.”

Nelissa moved slowly, tugging at the seatbelt, but it seemed that it would not budge at all.

Edward held her hand and guided her. She could feel the warmth emitting from his hand.

“T-Thank you.” Nelissa looked up at him.

“Oh?” Edward arched his eyebrow. “I prefer more tangible rewards as just a mere thank you.”

What?

All of a sudden, Edward cupped her chin and kissed her passionately.

Nelissa struggled, but she could not seem to escape no matter how much she tried.
