Back then, he saw nothing wrong with it, and anyway, he had Liked Diane very much.
It was not until recently that he realized that the favor Philip had done for the Nelson family had beca large weight that was constantly pressuring him to have a relationship with Diane.
If he insisted on refusing to marry Diane, Philip would obviously be offended. Of course, if it was Diane who didn’t want to marry him, then things would have been fine. But judging from Diane’s attitude recently, she was deeply obsessed with marrying him.

Then he asked in what seemed to be innocent confusion, “Haven’t you two been in love for so many years? Why do you suddenly feel that you are not suitable for each other?”
Philip put special emphasis on the word suddenly and the implication was pretty evident to Edmund. Looking very calm, Edmund replied, “I never thought about marriage. | was simply content with us Liking each other.”

The sullen look on Philip's face started to show. When he next spoke, his tone was harsh.
“So, you admit liking Diana but you refuse to marry her?”
Edmund thought he had been greatly misunderstood. “That's not what | mean,” he said.
Philip's anxiety was reaching its peak. “Then what do you mean?” he demanded.
“| mean, Diane deserves a better man who genuinely wants to marry her,” Edmund replied back with finality. In fact, ever since he divorced Chelsea, he and Diane had never really been together.

“| know what you mean.” Even if Edmund said something that was against Philip's wishes, it was useless to lose his temper at this moment.
Philip then raised his glass and said, “Con. Let’s drink a toast. | don’t know when such an opportunity will arise again.”
Edmund knew that Philip would never let it go, but he still raised his glass calmly and said, “I am always ready. | will always be one call away from meeting.”
Philip forced a smile at that.
After putting down the glass, Philip asked, “How is your father doing lately? I’m going on a business trip abroad in a few days. | would like to meet him.”
