NovelEnglishChapter 749:
00000 Caught off guard, Elyse nodded, her heart heavy with despair. “Yes, I'm crying over a man. So what?”
Edward looked shocked. “Is it your ex-husband?” he asked, his voice filled with disgust.
“Yes.” Elyse nodded.
“Do you really care about him that much?” Edward asked, genuinely puzzled.

Elyse shot back, “What is there to care about? He's arrogant and self-centered, always hurting me. He does
whatever he wants without respecting anyone. He's the worst. What could | possibly see in him?”
Edward looked at her calmly. “You care about him because he’s arrogant, self-centered, and he hurts you and
doesn’t respect you.”

Elyse’s frustration boiled over. “Are you out of your mind? How could | care for such a man? I'm not some
pathetic person.”
“No, I'm not saying you’re pathetic. I'm saying you love him. Loving someone means accepting them, even with
their worst flaws.” Edward smirked. “You love him, knowing he’s a terrible person, yet here you are, still crying
over him.”
Elyse was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure. “How can you say something so deep? Are
you still the Edward | know?”
“Don’t change the subject.” Edward rolled his eyes. “Seriously, if you love him, go after him. I'd much rather see
you out there, chasing your love in a flashy sports car, than sitting here, hiding and crying.”
Elyse felt embarrassed by his words. She reached for a tissue to wipe her tears. “I can’t do that. He already has a
girlfriend.”
Edward raised an eyebrow. He couldn't help blurting out, “Girlfriend? Are you referring to Aarya?”
Elyse nodded, her head bowed, deep in thought.
Edward groaned. “That's even more reason to get him back. Aarya isn’t exactly an angel. She's been married
four times.”
Elyse looked up, shocked. “What the hell? Married four times?”
Edward shook his head. “You really don’t know much about her. Forget the sports car idea. Aarya’s people would
probably make mincemeat out of you.”
Elyse managed a small, awkward smile through her tears.
Edward thought for a moment. “But honestly, your ex doesn’t seem like a great guy either. If he’s with Aarya,
their interests must be really tangled up.”
Elyse stared at Edward for a long time. “How can you say their interests are intertwined? Do you know
something that | don’t?”

Edward flashed a huge grin, showing his teeth. “Do you want to find out? Then go on a date with me.”
Elyse’s sadness turned into confusion. She shook her head. “No, | don’t want to date you.”
Feeling embarrassed by her blunt rejection, Edward shot back, “I don’t like you that way either. | only asked you
out because | pity you.”
Elyse saw his flushed face and couldn't help but laugh.
Her laughter only made Edward more annoyed.
“| felt sorry for you, and you took it seriously. | won't comfort you again,” he said, turning to leave.
Both amused and helpless, Elyse quickly pulled him back. “I'm sorry. | shouldn't have said that. Can you forgive
me?”
“Treatto five meals, and you have a deal,” Edward countered while holding up five fingers.
Elyse sighed helplessly. “Five meals it is, then.”
Dropping his wounded expression, Edward continued, “Five meals. Not one less.”
