“Yes.”
“Does he know about this?” he inquired gently.
“No, he doesn't. | didn’t tell him. There’s no need for him to know,” Chelsea responded, shaking her head.
Luka sighed and continued, “I heard he brought you dinner and showed you utmost care in the last few days. Is that true?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah, that’s true. | guess he’s doing it because he was the one who caused my injury.” Chelsea had pondered about why Edmund suddenly becdoting. She could only cto one conclusion: he did it because he was sorry.
After all, she wouldn’t have sprained her ankle if he hadn’t pulled her forcefully that night. Chelsea reasoned that he would most likely not show up again now that her ankle was healed.
While Chelsea was out helping Luka, Zuri was taunting Edmund the best way she could. She refused to tell him the entire truth surrounding her friend’s trip because she wanted him to be jealous and depressed.
Chelsea had warned her to keep her mouth sealed. Although it was a fake relationship, she didn’t want the word to get out to the public. She felt that the news would probably get to Luka’s mother since gossip usually spread like wildfire due to social media. She didn’t want to make the old lady sad if she found out the truth. That was the last thing she wanted to happen.
Luka checked Chelsea into the best hotel in town. After she freshened up and changed her clothes, he took her to the hospital to see his mother.
He parked the car in the underground parking lot. On the way to the elevator, he suddenly held Chelsea’s hand.
She yanked off her hand instinctively. Still looking as calm as ever, Luka explained, “I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable. But | have to hold your hand when we go into my mother’s ward. | just wanted you to adapt to it in advance.”
Chelsea immediately understood why he did that. She smiled faintly and apologized.
“Sorry, | was just startled.”
This gesture startled her because she wasn’t used to holding hands with aman. Edmund seldom held her hand in the past. “Not to worry. I’LL put on a good show later!” Chelsea vowed, clenching her fist determinedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuka chuckled and remarked, “I believe you. We just have to put up a show in front of my family. We are just ordinary friends while away from my mother and the rest of my relatives, okay?”
He meant to say that he wouldn't do anything inappropriate to Chelsea even though they were acting as a couple.
“Okay.” Chelsea nodded, trusting him fully.
Chelsea had known Luka for four years, since she’d first gotten the position of scriptwriter at Peak Entertainment.
She didn’t know much about Luka in her first three years of working part-time. At that time, she had studied scriptwriting under Eugene’s guidance and was close to him only.
However, that didn’t affect her understanding of Luka. He had been in this circle for years and had never been involved in any scandalous issues. He was trustworthy.
Judging by what Luka said, his parents were easy to get along with. Chelsea found them to be kind after meeting them. Although his mother, Ella Pierce, Looked emaciated because of illness, she wore a warm smile.
Lifting her hand to hold Chelsea’s with difficulty, she said, “At first glance, | knew you were a gentle and kind young lady.”
